@manwich I have a patch in my jacket with a turd beside a magnet, so I unfortunately know my place.

@sn4cktimes Work area is going to be roughly 48” x 36” in order to utilize an entire sheet of plywood/MDF if I want. Plan is mostly wood and aluminum it also bought the dragknife kit to maybe help with the Oppo stickers. As far as accuracy goes, I don’t have a clue how it’s going to turn out. I do have mid supports printed that should help but I went with the compromise of larger cuts with a sacrifice to accuracy since initially wood it pretty easy. If it becomes a problem I will scale it down.

@aestheticsinmotion truth. It’s just grapefruit flavor and sugar. Actually not terrible for your health.

@cb said in Classic 1949 Ford restomod for $20k in Welland, Ont:

@manwich While it looks clean, my innate disdain for Welland counters it.

Welland isn’t so bad. I’ll take it any day over Windsor or Detroit… or North Mississauga.

And then you just leave it there, like it's a rental scooter.

@mm54 Your truck has aftermarket flashers? 😮

@jminer BIRTHDAY!

@mark-tucker It IS always the ground.

Man that thing is so nice. Such a nice livery too

@amoore100 They do, I agree. I just worry that EVs are worse. (And also current ICE cars) as not only do you have proprietary hardware, but everything is becoming more proprietary in software as well....and EVs are mostly software.

My original point is that it would

@nickhasanexocet Looking good! There's a good modifiable mini-drawer design thing on Thingiverse similar to that!

Not very big, but it would scale up or just be great for small screwed and fittings and the like!

@someoneatacura I quite like how these look, but primarily from the rear. The overall shape is nice as well, but the front grille is a bit too coarse for my tastes, at least as far as subcompact CUVs go. I personally quite like CVTs and especially enjoy ones that 'drone', as it were, since after all they are meant to keep the engine precisely in its power band. I absolutely despise the ones that fake shift 'to please customers'; that sort of nonsense seems just like marketing gubbins that'll shorten the life of the CVT. My favorite CVT is still the slinky-like acceleration of the 2.5 pre-facelift 4th gen Fozzie, having had plenty of seat time between two of my friends' examples. You can feel it sussing out the power under acceleration before it returns to a very quiet and calm 2000 RPM, even at 80 MPH. It may not be fast, but boy is it satisfying.

@whoistheleader they were a factory model.

@grindintosecond ok

@dr-zoidberg Although he is no longer with us, here today, I remember this from Tennyson. “We are not now that strength, which in old days moved earth and heaven. That which we are, we are. One equal temper of heroic hearts made weak by time and fate, but strong in will. To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”

@azw123 what? A modern bike with no dropper post? This is avant guard.

If this was an Audi, the universe would have exploded when you submitted this comment.

@annoying_salman Thanks! I was out with some friends today I haven't seen in almost 2 years due to COVID, so that was lovely! 🙂

@bicyclebuck Oh, thanks! I'll bookmark some of that stuff! 🙂
