Can confirm. Had an engine stand break in ‘94. With a fully assembled SBC about to get on the cherry picker to install. Instead it landed in my foot. Curiously, I didn’t break anything. Also the only time ive ever had a triage nurse avoid p

Yeah. Nice looking cars but kind of a pile under the sheet metal. And that L-series is just ugh. Yuck. I hated working on them

The lead designer for this went onto designing the c6 corvette.

Sure. But 1) they need to stop moving the controls around with every update 2) there’s no tactile feedback- you have to take your eyes off the road to confirm your press worked

HVAC controls: on my truck I reach down by feel and turn a knob. Can’t do that anymore n the Tesla. Wiper controls: yeah I can trigger them with the button on the end of the stalk. But I gotta turn my head to adjust the speed after pushing

you know whats unsafe? Getting rid of physical buttons and putting everything on a touch screen with no tactile feedback and constantly changing the position of things - looking at you tesla. All things considered though: im not likely to

I just can’t understand the people I see in downtown Portland getting blasted out of their gourds on a public sidewalk. My sense of self preservation is just too high to alter my state of consciousness in an unsafe environment

This crap is why I probably won’t buy another new car, ever. I’ll find an old 72 travelall and swap the motor/trans for something modern and efficient and say screw the automakers. One exception: a new c8 z06. I might get one, if my de

My wife was a dispatcher with the sheriff here for awhile until she decided to be a stay at home mom. They had at least one instance of someone listening to a scanner as a warrant was about to be served and bad things ensued. They started

My dad and once had a catch we’d play catch with. That is: we’d toss the cat back and forth between us. He loved it.

There have been rumors of such since the early 90s.

Even discounting the SA bits, the financial stuff she alleges are really douchey. But, I don’t even know if this person is actually his sister. On the internet, no one knows you’re a dog.

I’d be inclined to be ok with this, if bicyclists didn’t ride like douchebags expecting cars to avoid them. I had one last week zoom out of an alley just in front of me. Had my reflexes been slower he’d have been a flap jack

I should add that one of our girls, whelped in late 2020 missed her socialization windows. She doesn’t like crowds. Perfectly well adjusted and happy in places without lots of people just don’t like crowds.

In my experience (wife is a breeder of shepherds), the ones cause it. I’ve literally seen a puppy come back that was “scared of its own shadow”, that I’ve taken out to loud chaotic environments with out a reaction from the dog. I’ve seen a

Im swapping it to softer rubber when she’s running. The tires will wear out due to heat cycles before it runs out to tread depth with as much driving as it’s going to see.

In the past 2years I’ve spent about 7k in tire related items on the MYP. I’ve spent ~ 250 in maintenance on my truck in that time frame. Note: I had to replace a bent wheel on the Tesla in July due to Portland roads. Then last month a diffe

So I was prescribed vascepa to lower my triglycerides. They’re now low enough that I was taken off them. But I’ve also significantly cut down on the calories I’ve been eating.
