As I’m wearing a runwell right now, and have a G-shock at home, I would heartily recommend both. I got the Shinola for a steal and their customer support is amazing.

The only reason to avoid synthetic oil in high-mileage, older vehicles is the detergents are much stronger, which can then remove deposits that are holding seals together and such and cause oil leaks.

I’ve driven a old town and country for my first car and it’s on the brink of unexpected death at some point, nearing 250k miles, and have been scoping out vibes for awhile. They really are awesome little cars.

Yeah, honestly 5,000 more than average over 5 year isn’t bad at all for 600+ HP. Like I’d take 600 HP for 83 bucks more in gas a month. 

Is the scoop functional?

Will a CVT even be able to handle that much HP/Torque long term? I know they’ve come along way, but still seems a little sketchy to me.

I’m used to a Celeron Chromebook with 4gbs of ram, what would the performance be like comparatively?

We had a 96 Nissan Quest, the exhaust was cracked off, it had 260k miles, and was rusting away, but it was one of the funnest vehicles we’ve ever had. Fun in the sense that we got it for free, never checked or changed the oil in 15k miles, beat the living heck out of it, and then sold it for 600 bucks as a winter…

Learning to drive in something bigger is basically always better. Then as you move through other cars, driving things big and small is not intimidating. Learned in a LWB 97 Chrysler Town and Country, and confirm its way easier to drive anything from a Civic Coupe all the way up to a Ram 5500 Chassis Cab

MI is a weird one, 17 is technically an adult, but kind of a gray area. Your parents still get involved even though the state considers you an adult, etc.

In Michigan its not that they’re actually illegal, its just the state hasn’t approved a stud that meets road wear standards, making them effectively illegal. Not to say you can’t get tires studded for “off road” purposes.

Totally advocate for winter tires to anyone I know. Have a set of Hankook icept iz’s on the van, obviously not the best winter tire, but on a budget they get the Job done and are insanely better than all seasons.

Probably the worst I’ve done is take all the seats out of my van (97 town and country, 240k miles), hooked up a 8x12' trailer, and filled the van and the trailer with solid wood cabinets and granite counter tops and then proceeded to drive 30 miles.

Far and away an early Geo metro, base model with the 3 cylinder and a stick.

All Androids are required to be encrypted out of the box now, by order of google.

With the amount of Engineering Explained videos recently you’d think he was part of Jalop.

ChromeOS is really a great OS, I’m in college with a Chromebook and it works perfectly for anything I need.

Have had a second gen chromecast in the same HDMI of our TV for over a year and have had no issues.

Looks good, also looks like a huge blindspot.
