      @Nauraushaun Nowadays Gulf is “Big Lubricants” rather than Big Oil as we know it, which is harder to get snippy about. AFAIK the brand hasn’t been associated with actual petrol in a decade or two (and never was in NZ). I guess it may also not be “free” advertising: Gulf does still operate here, and rich-man’s Motorsport is a boys club - he may be Guif sponsored.

      @ttyymmnn Kid me liked it but then I was a casual fan. And video quality was bad back then. Low resolution interlaced video was really not idea for hockey (I'd say hockey benefited more from the transition to HD than any other sport).

      @Jarrett said in Filled up the Fit with gas yesterday…:

      @Manwich I've been splitting the driving between all 3 vehicles in hopes that fuel crashes before any of them run out of gas.

      I tried that for a while, but between the five gas cars I only made it until May 4th. Apparently I still drive too much. My husband pays a flat $14/month for unlimited charging of his Bolt at work. I've paid more in "energy" so far this month than he has for the entire year, and he gets reimbursed mileage at above the federal rate!

      @415s30 My stomach was the most painful, but was done by a professional so I wasn’t as antsy. I had a friend with his whole body below his neckline tattooed using the traditional Japanese method. He said the butt was the worse by far, and he had his boys tattooed as well. I actually forgot I have one on my butt, but it’s small so the pain didn’t really stick with me.

      @MUSASHI66 my husband and I both got dry aged steaks at a swanky downtown restaurant recently and liked them but it was weird. We at half of them and just couldn't eat more. We weren't full. It wasn't bad. But for reasons unknown we just had to stop. We took it home and ate it the next day. It left an indifferent taste in our mouths.

      Did we like it? Yes.
      Was it better than fresh steak? Not really.
      Was it worth the price difference to try something different? I'm glad I did it, but I probably won't ever get it again.

      @Taylor-Martin can’t help you with your job specifics but here’s my three steps for starting new jobs with new coworkers.

      Step 0) have some confidence in yourself and your abilities
      Step 1) bring in donuts or beer one day for the guys. Break that barrier down so you can do step 2
      Step 2) find some common ground and make small talk about things you and they like - good restaurants or drinks you’ve tried, results of races or sports, released new cars, how they feel about the ease of maintenance on some new product, you fixing your VW, etc.
      Step 3) do the best you can while you have sole responsibility of parts so they get more familiar with you and you start to earn their trust. Maybe by the end of the guys recovery you can become a “go to guy” or at least not an outsider.

      @HFV I like that far more. It has a really '70s look; I'd put a brown perforated strap or a milanese mesh bracelet on it. If I had to nit-pick, the only thing I'm not wild about is the mix of circular and rhombus-shaped windows for the hours, but it's less obvious with the darker dial. I also agree that the complication would work really nicely on a military / field-style watch.

      @MidEngine It's a hypothetical, nobody actually said it. You don't need to lecture me about moving, I made a big move 2 years ago, although not solely for the ability to buy a house. And even here, prices have gone so nuts in the past several years that many of the younger set who aren't moving in with imported equity or help from mommy and daddy are priced out - and the coddled corporate rental industry is making it harder than ever to save money as well. Young people who mention that the oldsters had this part of life far easier than their 2022 counterparts aren't being "victims", they are telling the truth. Sometimes the me generation has a hard time not believing that they didn't work harder than everyone else since, and that they were very very lucky.

      I definitely agree re: lunacy. I am thankful my director is very flexible and just cares that the work gets done (as she likes to not come in every day as well), and that the old guard realized their error once they tried to get people back and received resignations in reply. So wasteful in terms of time, fuel, environmental issues, traffic, vehicle expenses, etc.

      One click up for intermittent, one more for slow, one more for fast. Intermittency is set by the knurled chrome knob on the end. Pull for wash. No Mist setting, but you can improvise by pulling for wash very briefly.

      The stalk is so long the throws are hilariously long. Approx 2 inches per setting.

      @dogisbadob I had that snark thought in my head - "I'm 75", but he's still younger than both Biden and Trump, and he was elected almost a generation ago.

      @ttyymmnn Huntsville is okay..until you realize that you're still in Alabama. Surrounded by it. No escape.

      I've lost more weight since the summer just because of work

      I probably don't eat as healthy as I should be considering the inflation of food prices right now. I live at home with mom because I also can't afford to buy my own house right now either (everything is $50-100k more expensive now then it was 2 years ago 😞 ) and we've both been going sparingly on purchases because everything has gone up so much 😕

      I really need to get my old bicycle out of the shed when the temps finally get warm and stay that way and do some biking to get back into shape...

      @e90m3 probably, they’re good. I had a set of hankooks that were crap at one point otherwise the continentals and ps4s are comparable.

      @bison78 Shipyards have the big cruise ship classes almost down to an assembly line process these days, they can be surprisingly cost-effective for their size and complexity, whereas superyachts are almost always one-off custom jobs. Fincantieri can crank out a 113,000 ton, 3,000 passenger Pinnacle class ship for the cost of less than 1 1/2 new 747-8Is.

      Anything else you wanna know, feel free to ask, I have it through next Wednesday while my van gets fixed.

      Will it do a dry burnout?

      Can you do a high RPM neutral drop?

      What is the top speed?

      Just a few questions that should be answered for every rental.

      @CobraJoe -- Yeah, I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen in a good surviving 5th-generation Thunderbird, though I prefer earlier ones, before the Knudsen nose.

      These were substantial cars, back to body-on-frame construction as of this generation in 1967, and were basically a sportier and more budget minded Lincoln. They would stay that way through the next generation; the two didn't go their separate ways until 1977.

      Pretty fast on the open road, too, with the 429 engine, and so quiet you could hear the whooshing of the gas gauge needle.

      Alas, no more convertibles...

      Perhaps there is a way to me get turned around on this EV stuff.

      @monkeepuzzle woo! mr2!
      that one really freaks me out. being mirrored from my rhd model. also very different to my slender non-airbag wheel, and i'd KILL for that cruise control stalk you've got, mine doesn't have cruise at all. all 3 of my prior Zs had it including the one from 1984, i'd really like to have it back.

      Mr.Ontop

      @bison78 In some cases, yes, they do. And I can imagine after this Kia and probably other manufacturerswill probably also add it into the fine print.
