@dogisbadob Well mine is still there but i guess thats something else i should check out.

@john-norris said in well...its wierd seeing you with sponsors:

@farscythe said in well...its wierd seeing you with sponsors:

i'd like to think they are both smart enough to not take eachother out

If you're a bottom feeder it should be much easier to have enough self awareness that you are already on thin ice.

I suppose though anyone that makes it to F1 has an ego big enough to think they deserve to be number 1, if their team would just give them the opportunity.

Key word @john-norris "should"...they'll fight each other like they're going the last piece of chocolate cake at a binge eaters anonymous meeting.

@dieseldub Yeah, the Kaferfach box!

@Snuze Awesome! Good luck and keep us apprised on how it turns out!

@Turbineguy-Nom-de-Zoom said in Alt title: "Why EVs will never make my naughty bits tingle":

@RallyDarkstrike I've had a few press fleet cars over the years with great sounding exhaust. One of them was the 2016 Scat Pack Charger with the 392. Every tunnel I drove through in that car I'd roll down the windows and punch it just to hear the exhaust reverberate off the walls. Once my wife said to me "What is wrong with you?" and I replied "Just getting in touch with my inner 16-year-old". Good times.

Sounds like perfectly normal behaviour for petrolheads to me! LOL

@Milky Yay I'm so proud.........

Thats what I get for the builder putting a heat pump in instead of gas heat. Not that propane is much better right now.

@AMGtech Fair enough!

@facw My dad says that all the time, he leaves his pennies at the register.

@Sam-Blockhan Ooh, it's the fancy one with six lights in the front, too.

@FourMalibus said in Finally!:

I checked out the ice today and it technically held me about 10ft out from shore

Seems like there's more to the story here....

And every step along the way before that too.

I'm not sure why they thought slick tires would work in the snow....

@HFV_Junkyardin Nope. Nothing special about the drivetrain or interior on these. Just springs, sway bars. These would have gotten a 1mz 3 liter. All aluminum 4 valve per cylinder twin cam v6.

@MasterMario Its a really beautiful place. Oh course, if you stopped here to put down roots you would probably be pretty mad when you saw what was just around the corner.

Fun fact: My Great Great grandfather and his family were the first permanent settlers to this valley so it would have been them. Thankfully they kept going and found the better place. Not that it was warm where the ended up. Previously he was asked to settle in California and ended up buying the 100,000 acre San Bernadino Mission (for the church) and established the town and city it is now. Then he was called back to Utah and asked to settle what is now Rich county and bear lake county Utah/Idaho respectively. Now I love the bear lake valley, but winters here would be a kick in the teeth after southern California.

Saw this yesterday:

@BeaterGT said in Type R Parking:

Oooh I like that grey with the red interior.

Agreed. That's a great combo.

@JRC99 said in DOTS - Trader Joe's Parking Lot Edition:

Shoulder belts became mandatory in the U.S. in 1968.

Point of clarification. My '72 did have shoulder belts, but they were the super old school ones that were just a belt bolted onto the ceiling where they were tucked into a little pocket above the door and completely ignored.

Ahhhh gotcha

@Vondon302 said in night oppo:

FYI that's not a model but the driver.

Apparently they were so keen on the picture they didn't even give her a chance to finish changing out of her fire suit!

@Just-Jeepin Last night I read the description and comments somewhere between I skim and a full read, and found no mention of whether the paint and interior was original, nor any mention of a refurb. If it is not original paint they did a good job of recreating the not overly shine look of old school auto paint. Anyway, Gremlins have a certain cool factor and this one retains the essence of it's malaise era origins very well. Nothing US made is very good to drive, so it is not unique there. I think it should do pretty well.

@Taylor-Martin I just looked up summit point's actual location, I knew it was in WV but didn't know where. Looks like it's only half an hour from you, that would be a great first race if they ever run it.

Looks like Summit Point was on the calendar up through 2013 so it's been done before...will have to petition to get it back

@KngT My Ridgeline is this vehicle in pickup form factor, and it is very good. I'm a very happy camper with my 21 Ridgeline, and torque vectoring rear diff does the good magic. The large Honda AWD system works really well in a variety of situations, and it isn't a slip n' grip system like so many these days. My only gripe might be that the platform would be better with a turbo 4. The V6 makes the good noises and there's no question about the J-series overall longevity and reliability, but I'd take the fuel economy and instant torque of a turbo 4 in this platform given the choice.

@Qaaaaa It won't be my unit that floods if it happens🙃

@Ad-absurdum-per-aspera my first new car was an Encore, cheap to buy and super reliable. Fond memories of that car.

@LimitedTimeOnly PXL_20220710_045302131.jpg

That's adorable. It reminds me of Toby first nights with me. I didn't have a create yet, so he slept in a storage container next to my bed. Ellie hadn't slept on that big dog bed in my room for years (she had her own bedroom and people bed), but she slept in the room right next to Toby with us for the first couple months. Most of the time I would wake up when Toby needed to go out in the night, but when I didn't Ellie would wake me up to let me know he needed to go do something... now. Ellie was, and still is, so amazing with him.

I'm glad we got past the 2am backyard visits pretty quickly. It took Toby about a month before he slept through the night.

@Mark-Tucker Interesting point that I hadn't considered!

@WhoIsTheLeader Looks like the way the fold and stow makes sense for them to face forward, I think most rear facing ones are attached to the bulkhead.

@MybirdIStheword hide them inside the tanks (probably wont fit but still....)

@Peter_Black

The first time I broke 130mph was on the back of a Goldwing. I didn't even know until after the ride was over.

@Cars yup... also mine is a unique configuration too - it has some unusual set of options for a momentum and rare to see XC60s in red too

@AkioOhtori

I've been to some of those places! My mom and I passed through the area on an epic road trip back when I was still in college. One day I'll have to dig out those photos and post about it.

Even funnier coincidence - my mom owned a Nissan truck in that same shade of faded maroon. Sometimes I wish I hadn't sold it to my uncle, but he really needed cheap transportation.

@i86hotdogs buy it.

@e90m3 give it time.

@john-norris Next house for sure. The wife was down, but the three car garage houses were out of our budget, sadly.

@Cat_Of_Doom 1990 Jag plz.

@Ad-absurdum-per-aspera that wouldn't tickle.

@Just-Jeepin why not puncture a tyre? surely they'd have TPMS and a flat would disable it.

@Sam-Blockhan too cold for me

@HotWheelsAndFriedChicken There is something dark about the design. It feels sinister is some way.

@KITT222 said in Engineering, the GM Way:

In favor of the car-of-many-badges, no two were sold in the same place at the same time.

That's true, it's just a bit meh because then the car can't really belong to any manufacturer, either. It doesn't have the cheekiness of the original Vue, it's not trucky like a GMC, it's not European enough to be an Opel/Vauxhall, it's not really Asian enough for a Daewoo, though Chevy and Holden were pretty mainstream brands by that point and didn't have much individual identity either way. I guess my point is that the Antara becomes just a 'GM' product, divested of any of its individual brands because of the need to fit any badge anywhere. Which is most GM cars anyway, this one just throws it in your face a little stronger.

@ttyymmnn said in 2023 claims another victim:

Maybe it was her mom's car?

What, you didn't have negative social impacts in high school from your parent's bad automotive purchase decisions?

@pip-bip Ah, the Bing Crosby Clam Bake. If Phil Harris is there I'll be watching!

@Cash-Rewards
It was.

@Highlander I've seen it claimed that this is for people with bidets. I still wouldn't want it. Even with bidets, there is some amount of sustainable forestry I think we can tolerate for clean hygiene projects.

@LimitedTimeOnly See, one would have to pry that puppy out of my cold dead fingers. I could never foster and I’d have 50 puppies.

That photo with the tongue sticking out just melted my heart. So precious and innocent and sweet.

You’re doing great stuff.

@іди-на-хуй-Влад-formerly-known-as-Distraxi This is 1000% what they were going for. I am certain of it.

@way2blu Went to a late night showing of Brandon Cronenberg's new movie Infinity Pool. Stars Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsgård. 7.5/10

Hey, you asked...

@e90m3 The SC plate design is a good one. Kind of a shame it's just a flat sheet of metal and doesn't have any embossing.

@HammerheadFistpunch We had a one in college and when we first bought our house, but it only lasted a few years and we never replaced it. I tried revisiting the idea recently and was shot down for fear it would ruin our minimalist countertops (which are always covered in cameras and various art projects, so go figure).

@notsomethingstructural gratuitous 90s rap violence?

Edit: to be clear, I'm posting big pun. Screw fat joe

@BeaterGT Reminded me of this first verse

@functionoverfashion Understandable. You've got much different truck needs than me.

@fhrblig If it's the 10-speed, the 10-speed is pretty meh in everything with less than 350hp.

@HFV_Junkyardin As noted above, probably numerous OSHA, EPA, and state regulation violations.

@HFV_Junkyardin Can't say I've ever used that term by itself, but I have uttered "hoopajooped" occasionally.

@RallyDarkstrike said in Welp....that was a tad scary...:

@Chariotoflove Honestly, as lame as it sounds, I played a LOT of Richard Burns Rally and Colin McRae Rally on on my gaming PC in university with a USB racing wheel and pedals and I honestly still think that helped my reaction times and gave me a bit of driving skill...I could be completely wrong, but RBR was considered very realistic for the time and I was always pretty good at it!

I won’t gainsay you. You’re still alive. That’s enough for me!
