@WilliamsSW It's between 10 and 20 years old. Judging by the wheels I'd put it on the older side.

@john-norris this is all a reasonable assumption, the only thing you didn’t factor in is BAT mania. Could make all the difference.

@AestheticsInMotion said in I just removed over two pounds of wiring from the Hayabusa:

Really want to take it on a longer trip, but everyone keeps wanting to go offroad

Bring it to Ohio! There's nowhere worth riding around where I am, but getting here (and then home) will be a longer trip for sure.

@Shoop There was one of those Konas at Putnam Park for SCCA time trials over the weekend. It did fine, put down pretty respectable times.

@HUGZ I am going to join the group of people who are of one Accord

@bbg2d not sure what I'm going to do. Maybe an adventure helmet would have a big enough eye port for my skin and breath to not reflect so much moisture back onto my glasses.

@KITT222
They be RAM trucks down here. Nothing dodgy about them at all.

@Dr-Zoidberg Thanks. I wrote it less to be entertaining and more to help anyone who wants to do something similar. Honestly, just finding an appropriate seat was the hard part and I saw zero documentation of the process on the internet. It's not as simple as just "pick a car you like." Not all seats are equally suitable.

@ClassicDatsunDebate prob cleaned out a Subaru dealer somewhere

@SilentbutnotreallyDeadly I believe New York city has done multiple crushings and will continue to do so

@DaftRyosuke Fantastic write up. Makes me want to go tinker on something!

We all need friends like Zach.

@CarsOfFortLangley said in Canada Day!:

@facw It's probably borderline politics, but it's not something that bothers me either way. I really don't identify as "Canadian" primarily. Vancouver feels/is so different than the rest of Canada and so isolated politically/geographically, most don't feel that attached to the idea of the country, or at least, not as much as those in other areas.

I adhere way more to the idea of being a "PNW'er" than a Canadian. I have way more in common with people in WA and OR than I do in Manitoba or Nova Scotia.

It doesn't help when 2 Eastern Provinces dictate the Feds every election. Or the fact that the Feds have treated us more like an extension of the USA for the past decade while allowing significant immigration of citizens from countries that have no desire to adapt to Canadian culture. Then they suddenly act all concerned about "keeping Canadian values". I used to be snide at Quebec for hunkering down so hard to protect their French Canadian heritage and culture, but not anymore.

You at least get out and enjoy the Jeep and can identify with the PNW proper, I'm kind of stuck in little Hollyweird with the bike.

@GibbsEmphasis ach ok ya know…

Yeah actually twisting in the wind in Wales. Seriously, it’s windy AF

@beefchips Flogging Molly is a throwback. I own a few of their albums but The High Kings is where it's at. My sister did their publicity and transportation long ago but I still have a place in my heart for clean renditions of classic Irish folk songs. And they have come in clutch at Renaissance festivals this year...

@SilentbutnotreallyDeadly said in Ab so lutely M E N T A L:

This is perhaps the greatest phrase in the English language. So much better than 'cellar door'

@Just-Jeepin shows better without the spread front tires, but agreed, so clever!

@Sam-Blockhan Congrats! I almost bought a stick fiesta last year, was a fun little car! And going into 4th and 5th are the same as third, it's pretty straightforward.

@Roadkilled
We also have the genitive case of course as in 's but to a great extent we've got rid of it, as have Dutch and the mainland Scandinavian languages. I think Icelandic still preserves complicated grammar.

@Dusty-Ventures This is the way.

@beefchips said in I'm off to bed, good night:

H3L4 that’s twelve freedom units

H3l4 is
Height 6.7metres, 22',
Length 2.78metres, 9.12'
Width 2.06metres without mirrors (2.47metres with mirrors)

@Ad-absurdum-per-aspera Yes, to all of that, but in a bad way

Six point BLOW! Found On Road Dead! Four head studs per cylinder! Have to spend 10k bulletproofing it!

@Skyfire77

Yeah, I forgot that there was a whole WING sticking out that would have made room for the nose door.

@RacinBob after all that, Fargo runs again! Still no idea why he got cold feet in front of my dad… but no matter, he runs!!!

This is great news! 😄

@Zaphod-s-Heart-of-Gold Unemployed, or... funemployed?

@SilentbutnotreallyDeadly I keep forgetting to look for something from your neck of the woods. Maybe if I finish working on the bikes today I'll run to the mega liquor store nearby

@WasGTIthenGTOthenNOVAthenGTInowA4 said in Neighbors, man. Who needs em?:

The correct response is "for $20 I'll do it!" then just set it on the ground next to him and walk away.

Too polite! I'd ask if he'd like for me to take his wife out for date night while I'm at it too.

Unless he's married to a moose...

@HammerheadFistpunch Yeah, this one gets weekly use for bread making and is very well seasoned, but I’ll probably have to give it a once over when we get back home. We probably got a weeks worth of iron intake from these two meals!

@MM54 -- I keep it around not only as the last resort in the cars (only one of our cars is from the tire pressure monitoring era, and it uses the minority approach of looking at differential revs, rather than directly sensing pressure) but also for wheelbarrows, garden carts, hand trucks, etc.

I'm renting a Golf TDI, diesel prices in Montreal are $2.37/l ($6.95 US/gallon). Good thing it gets good mileage.

@orneryduck said in Fargo mysteriously runs again…:

Bores open overnight may indicate you had a flooding concern

I mean, the cylinders and spark plugs did smell a bit gassy. Not super noticeable, but noticeable enough.

If I unplug the pump, the car would continue to run on the fuel in the lines for a moment, then eventually die... it seems to shut the injectors off entirely, the best course of action is to actually unplug each injector (very accessible).

@WasGTIthenGTOthenNOVAthenGTInowA4 tbh...i dont think theres anyone on the grid that doesnt like lando or danny...so its no surprise they get on

@Taylor-Martin -- Actually makes one yearn for front and rear dash cams, as I'm betting that something impressive happened to that pickup. Here's hoping everybody dodged the bullet on that one as well as the large, randomly hopping around tire...

@nickhasanexocet said in Heading Home:

@Rusty-Vandura What altitude do you live at normally? I ask because I just moved to roughly 5000ft and I've only felt only a little bit of weirdness crossing the passes up at 9000 ft when dehydrated (my fault). That said, I did a drive over i70 up to 11,000 ft when completely dehydrated (again, my fault) and felt AWFUL. Like... dizzy and disoriented.

One of the weird things about altitude is that food tastes different (worse). Dry nasal passages dull your sense of small (a big part of taste) and the altitude weakens your tastebuds by giving you a dry mouth.

I live within 500 ft of sea level. I did this same trip three years ago with no problems.

@The-Crazy-Kanuck I look forward to seeing you reach master level.

@CB

And well-told. My favorite: “Clamp or get scraped off.”

@facw To be fair, I haven't actually monitored case or component temperatures. I can just say that CPU and GPU load are 90-100% in most games and as soon as it got warm this summer the fans all sit at 100%. I do need to find some temp monitoring software and have a go at gaming again just to see if it's actually throttling.

I keep a column of icons on my desktop for physical CD games. Lego Rock Raiders, the first 5 Harry Potter games, Freelancer, Gex, Wheel of Time, Need for Speed games.....my CD drive gets pretty regular use still.

@Relic I still prefer the LFA

@WilliamsSW Yea, after they passed me a cop passed by. I think they got a talking to. There is a big car show in Muskegon today and saturday...That ElCamino though, I took the photo from its 'better' side. There are quite a few ripples and bumps. But it would be a cool driver.

@zipfuel said in Stance Bros Stance Bros whatcha gonna do...:

Yeah nothing except the stretched tires is really egregious but once the inspector starts looking they're going ticket everything.

I'm getting the feeling there is something not visible in the pics that is fairly damning, but I also don't know Toronto's specifics for illegal modifications. Something like a very minor tint applied to the windshield might be illegal on paper even if it doesn't obstruct vision. Emissions? Minimum ride or bumper height? Tampering with safety devices?

@Just-Jeepin Come over to my place and I'll start the Eclipse, AZ-1, and Jimny at the same time. 3.3L V10?

@RallyDarkstrike that's probably right, but I think PA is also one of those weird states that randomly decided to classify Delicas as kei cars, and also, randomly decided kei cars can't be registered due to being RHD and not complying with FMVSS, while still registering other cars that are RHD and not compliant with FMVSS

@Taylor-Martin said in July 2022 Automation Challenge Ruleset!:

@siennaman gotta use the body type filter. Vans are vans, so don’t get too wacky on me

I hate to admit it, but I don't think I'd noticed it previously. Time to get to using it.

@tophercrowder Anne Murray owned some beautiful secluded undeveloped beach front property. As teenagers, we camped and partied there often, knowing full well that if the police came we could tell them we had permission from the owner and she wouldn't be able to be contacted in any timely fashion.

@Chariotoflove $35K for a student's car seems nuts. But my experience is from many decades ago. Different generations and worlds.

I loved my 98 Forester and the HG did get replaced. My friend's '01 Forester is still going. HG was replaced. You'd think Subaru has figured out the issue by now after 20 years.

The 2.5 NA motor was slow but sufficient. I added WRX suspension so the "slow car fast is fun" mantra applied. I imagine most people who just want a car to get them from point to point aren't going to notice or care about the motor or CVT.

@facw
I don't know. There's these:
The capital of Mexico is Mexico City,
the capital of Djibouti is Djibouti City.
((also, the people that named these capital cities, MAKE AN EFFORT!!!))

@JunkleMKVII Shout out to @sony1492 for offering me a ride and use of his garage when my leaf springs decided to yield to the god of entropy in the nether regions of California. Also, Loren at Powerhouse Garage in Fortuna for helping me get my rig back on the road.
