Did you drive a 90 or 110? I’m curious how livable getting in and out of the back of a 90 is.

@Just-Jeepin I got gummy, but missed hitch, among others.

@Dr-Zoidberg This post is very long and I did not read it so I’m just here to support the Luna content

@ttyymmnn
I think they keep for three to five days.
I don't drink this amount in one sitting, unless I'm pissed off with something. Lol.

@bison78 said in 2020 Leaf 62kWh Mini-Review:

Even in the SF Bay area, my 2016 leaf had significant battery degradation over 7 years

30kWh? Those packs are kinda dogshit from what I've found in my research

@Jimmy-Steel Karmann-Ghias look amazing on wide whites, a very "1958" look.

Chevy. I've seen people use vise-grips on a Bolt.

This is underappreciated

@Mark-Tucker said in Game on!:

Hopefully, this wears them out enough that they'll just sleep in the car...

Good luck with that!

@fintail oh yeah that 928 is hot

@BeaterGT said in DOTS: Seen in Tucson:

Must have hit the same spot when I drove through Tucson.

They say Aqui Con el Nene is a must-eat when in the Dirty T! I will say I was a little underwhelmed with their carne asada—their claim to fame is of course the Sonoran dog, so I'll have to go back for that.

@TheJWT absolutely gorgeous violet

@StuckMTB how often do you see a Saab 95 wagon?? Good spot!

Next time I saw him he said “Why did you have to tell me that?” He no longer owns that truck.

Damn, you are indeed a very no good terrible person! I would've been your dad. Perfectly happy with the truck until you just had to point this out. Find something productive to do with your time!😂 😠 😂

@Sam-Blockhan I had a 2003 OZ Rally Lancer which I drove until it had 160k miles on the odometer and a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR in black with the SE appearance package. They were both terrific cars. I wish Mitsubishi was still putting out fun coupes and sedans.

Was running out of words, took a long time to get it figured out, well done for all who figured it out today, hard one

@pip-bip said in MotoGP: Italy:

well done Pecco. but that was a dull race #ItalianGP

Agreed. High points were probably Pecco’s start from P5 to P1 in 2 corners and Bestia overtaking Martin in the last corner for P2.

@Miss-Mercedes said in Happy Pride Month, Oppo!:

Otherwise, screw the haters, even the ones reading this right now.

Hopefully, that doesn't include any Oppos. Otherwise, everything @Shop-Teacher said including my vanilla life.

Last pic: Is that a CPU on a PC board? Definite nerd if that's what I noticed in that pic. But no markings. RF?

@GrindIntoSecond The advantage of the one you bought is that it's pure bike oriented with it's 4.5-6.5 nM range (or whatever it is). And I just learned it stops transmitting torque once the set value is reached?! I haven't seen that feature in a torque wrench.

The advantage of @ScoutingForZen 's option would be a much wider range for broader non-bike uses. Although not sure how often in-lb values are needed outside of bicycles.

Solution: buy both!

@Taylor-Martin He done good! He done real good!

@mjswee those tend to be very reliable too

@Arch-Duke-Maxyenko Understandable!

@OhCrikeyTheRozzers
Corvette gets my vote, with the Macan as a backup second choice

@RacinBob The video has an interesting angle regarding diesel production. It states that refining of crude oil (distilling) produces several compounds at the same time: gasoline, kerosene, diesel, heavy oil, etc.. You can't create just gasoline from a barrel of oil without throwing away a ton of unused material. After the OPEC oil crisis in the 70's European countries moved away from oil-based energy generation, to nuclear, natural gas, etc.. This created a problem for European oil refineries, who lost the market for a 40% of their output (heavy oil and diesel). Oil companies needed a new market for diesel, and automakers wanted guaranteed returns if they were to invest in diesel engine development. This is where governments stepped in on behalf of those industries with heavy tax incentives for switching to diesel consumer cars. This was done with the public messaging of "saving the environment". While CO2 emissions were lower with diesels, other harmful emissions like NOx and particulate matter were higher. European regulations set NOx and PM limits much higher than the US by comparison, to the benefit of diesel car sales.

@fhrblig there’s so much in the Bay Area. Alcatraz, bridge, even south to San Jose for the Winchester crazy lady’s house. so many great shops and stores and things see experience and lots of sourdough bread to eat!!

@StuckMTB Thank you, that's fascinating! I've just been browsing BMW's configurator, and they offer a "sensatec dashboard" option for only $350. Given that price they're probably doing what you guys did with the C8, and the base dashboard is covered with a "basic" plastic?

Pertaining to the original post, do you know if the C8's synthetic covering is more or less prone to delamination/peeling vs. real leather?

@Urambo-Tauro That "drip pan" 😂

Ok but that’s actually kind of brilliant, no?

Oh ya I’ve seriously considered doing something like that in my Jaguar more than once.

@Highlander Time to celebrate with some delicious Aldi onions:

(sadly I think this delightful packaging was only available in the UK?)

@Hike said in Driving a 2023 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L Hybrid:

Also my 2006 Infiniti had that feature and I'm pretty sure it caused the plastic gear that would actually move the seat to wear out.

I've always had this thought regarding those 'auto entry assist' systems like Lexus' moving steering wheel or the auto-moving seat you mention. Considering you enter and exit your car so many times in a day, the cycle count on those components must be in the thousands even just a few years into the car's life.

@AkioOhtori said in I don't even own it yet and the 4C is already trying to kill me:

This meant walking down streets that felt damn need 45 degrees

That's the fun of being in a city where a building can have street-level entrances at the first, second, third, and fourth floor all within one block.

@pip-bip

Ah, R Klaffe.

I can find nothing else by him.

@Just-Jeepin 7 hills, just like Rome

@J-B Hey, it was food!

@CarsOfFortLangley I didn't know they could be rented. I do know if you buy it outright and get the RV package, you can pause the monthly charge. I will look into the rental, that would be awesome.

@Mike-Harrell Woah, please tell us more! Feel free to create a topic with a fleet summary.

@aremmes I vaguely recall a scavenger hunt involving different types of cars (flat-head engine, v8, rear-engine, air-cooled) but that just reveals how ignorant I am. Other than “Porsche 911 is rear-engine right?” I’d be lost.

@ranwhenparked that cloth is the destination. It's the whole point. And it's glorious.

@benjrblant said in Fleet Update: Adios Outback, Hello Leaf.:

worked out to $88/mo for a 2-year lease.

Wow, that's crazy cheap. Colorado seems like the place to be for leasing EVs right now with all the incentives they're running. As someone who would never lease, I'd lease that. Mind if I ask if you put any down? Like others have said, I easily spend more than $88/month on gas alone.

The leaf is also being discontinued, so probably great deals because of that. replaced by the Ariya.

Starting at $40k and is a “crossover”. it’s a bloat leaf. A Bloeaf. Same ranges, most likely heavier and requiring a bigger motor and a bigger battery. But since it’s crossover, it’ll get all the people that think tiny cars are for the poor and tall fat cars are for successfuls.

I’m getting sick of enormous black wheel wellcladding.

@Miss-Mercedes Hershey, PA. Its an annual event put on by the Museum of Bus Transportation - now part of the Antique Automobile Club of America. Usually end of May or beginning of June. This was the first year I've been in town to check it out and it was definitely interesting!

@Dr-Zoidberg

Ah yes, so you could go * checks notes * 100 more feet down the road.

@DaftRyosuke great work 😎

@pip-bip Must be around 1978 or so.

Just wanted to say congrats @Arch-Duke-Maxyenko ! So glad this finally worked out for you and those involved

@Old-Busted-Hotness All are good options for a mat. The speedway mat though is easier to clean (petroleum resistant), doesn't mind getting wet and folds up well for travel.

Mines at least 20 years old and I have gotten a lot of use of it at the track.

@WasGTIthenGTOthenNOVAthenGTIthenA4nowS5

"While the new standard turbocharged four-cylinder makes a big difference—317 pound-feet at 1,700 rpm—the optional hybrid system makes the Taco feel like it's got a V-8. Going hybrid also unlocks the most hardcore Tacoma trims: The desert-ready TRD Pro and the go-anywhere-overlander Trailhunter."

@aremmes safe driving

@foghat1981 classy

@pip-bip a shit end and officially the shortest race distance

@ClassicDatsunDebate Gary is the greatest spectacle of township I have ever seen.

@Sam-Blockhan that Bible verse one made me chuckle.

@Highlander Some of those will end badly!

@WhoIsTheLeader yeah, they're a solid gf cookie

@ranwhenparked Great, now I'll spend the rest of the day looking for Castle Rock and Derry.

@RacinBob Well, now we know the roll bar works.
