@krustywantout We are surrounded by farm land in Northern Colorado and it doesn't stink too bad. What does stink is the feed lots, and when pressure changes we can smell Greeley all the way from Fort Collins to Denver. If you smell Greeley in the air, it is about to snow.

@whoistheleader so far, I haven’t done anything related to a drive through, and don’t plan to. This does preclude me from driving it to work except on days when the bank isn’t open, but with antique plates I’m not supposed to drive it everyday anyway.

@highlander Oh no question!

@ramblinrover

Oh great, so it runs in the family.

@svend When you have enough money and resources that people aren't sure which custom ordered funeral vehicle is actually the hearse.

I still think there's value in leveraging DriveTribe as a partner of sorts

Agree. I feel bad because while I like it over there, posting to the Oppo page doesn't get many views unless it gets picked up elsewhere (maybe time to create a sock puppet...) and I haven't really made any hashtagcontent lately so I haven't been posting...

@nickhasanexocet Nice! I got the Ender 3 Pro on a Cyber Monday sale in order to print the parts for a MPCNC. The upgraded glass bed came with it and it is FAR superior to the magnetic bed.

I have yet to print a CNC yet though.

This polar bear has had more successful roll-out than Canada...

@ttyymmnn cant speak for your back..but yup...working around one issue causes added strain elsewhere
which is probably why doctors reccomend rest

I can't sleep with out whirling of a large fan or the sound of an air con unit, even on a really cold day.

@darkbrador It looks like it will be good for what it is, which is 2 hrs of mindless entertainment.

Also, relevant:

@bandit I dunno, if you make people do that at 30k in the dealership to keep their warranty (as a loss leader, they pay for the belt the labor is free to them) maybe you can show good will, make people aware of other issues, and flip them into new cars?

Always been one answer, Keep pushin' on...

used to be lonely till I learned about livin' alone
I found other things to keep my mind on
And I'm gettin' to know myself a little bit better
Whoa, I keep pushin' on, I keep pushin' on, yeah
Goin' through all the changes I made so many mistakes, oh yes I did
Tryin' to leave behind the heartaches
And sometimes I think I was a little bit crazy, oh yeah
Whoa, I keep pushin' on

@carsoffortlangley said in Wow.:

heh, well I guess there was the XRS too which @Exage03040 has. I appreciate the OG corolla's but I go for drivability, not really heritage/looks.

The XRS within 10th Gen is weaksauce though stock, it's slower than the 9th by a good margin. Up on displacement, but heavier, down on peak power and revs with no Lift, missing a gear with the stick and had auto available. They sold quite a few so it needs a parts cannon and turbo kit to be unique. I'd pick an Si during it's years.

@vincentmalamute said in MTB Geometry & Sizing:

Do you have any tips on getting past that fear/skill hurdle of just letting go and trusting the bike on those steep and/or rock sections?

Confidence is a mental thing, and I think the cure for a lack of it is simply repeatedly doing something that you know you can do successfully. If you're having trouble with a difficult trail, the answer may be just skipping it entirely for now and instead spending some time on an easier trail that you're completely comfortable on. Once you master the easy stuff, then you can gradually try doing things that are just a smidgen more difficult.

Target fixation is another important aspect of vision. Don't just look farther ahead, but also focus on where you want to go, not the thing you want to avoid crashing into. Sometimes the potential for danger is part of the appeal, as it adds to to the feeling of success after you ride something without impaling yourself on a cactus.

Agreed completely on the full face helmet, I also only ride with one after a crash that could have been much worse. Same goes for knee pads.

LOL!! I was telling my son how I upgraded my first PC to 8MB of RAM. 8 MB!! It was a beast!!!!

Or trying to decide if the $400 charge for upgrading to 512KB from 256KB was worth it!

@rctothefuture No notchback Fiero can be perfection while the (fastback? buttressed? whatever?) Fiero exists.

@wbizarre I have to give it to Subaru - they've managed to keep a lot of original Impreza RS soul through the years, all the way to the current WRX and STi.

Rest of their cars with CVT... not so much.

@siennaman That's a cool idea.
