Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

It has 43 hp. That's an electric Yugo bro. All I did was look at a photo, I figured if it was a POS mechanically I'd be told so. I was right. It does look dece though :iono: I would love to see more small hatchbacks available, EV or otherwise. There are so few small cars left here, basically the Mi...

Dem bicicletas dos, doe.

I have been up in New England for work so I stayed at my buddy's house this weekend and did some gravel riding/beer drinking in Connecticut. Man, his area is incredible for cycling, just endless roads with zero cars, tons of gravel roads, single track, beautiful woods, rivers, and lakes everywhere. ...

OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away

I saw a cybercuck driving in uptown Charlotte this AM. I was on a bike “highway” uptown the city built, that apparently is for cops to park and people to host run clubs 🤷🏻‍♂️. Anyway, I came face to face with it as it sat across the red light from me. I was overcome with emotion and felt the need t...

DYELB: The Gainz Train

I did 255x3 this am on bench. I feel like my shoulder is better, so I'd like to start working back up and get the 500/400/300 in the books (deadlift, squat, bench) SS has the 200 lb press goal tacked to the end too, but my seated press is stuck solidly at like 145 and a lonnng way from 200 200 is a...

Turn Signals Optional: Gberg’s M3

I mean I get it. As dumb as it is, there have been a number of road trips where I wished we had a bit more room than a :jeep: and it's just us and a dog. BUT paying $10/mile to drive an X5 is still kind of odd. I get wanting to go fast and I get wanting space but why combine them? B58 is already fa...

It's wild, the Uranus is everywhere, I see one almost daily in CLT. Also have a neighbor with one which is strange as well. Granted the house is a tear down/new build and is large, :butwhy: blow $300K on a Uranus whilst living amongst the poors?

I mean it really is though. It took me 1.75 hours to drive 30 miles in CT yesterday morning :disgust: We've got to get fewer cars on the road somehow. I drove in to work yesterday.

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

Most of America can barely check the oil, let alone diagnose German car problems and fix them themselves or at least give a good indie mechanic a heads up. Therefore they believe they can simply put gas and oil in the Honda and Toyota for the next 100K miles in addition to their car payment, that i...

Oh nice! I have that one saved in my excel file. I'm not too keen on the black but, it has the options I want. I don’t love black vehicles. I wish it made sense financially to paint or wrap the Mini. Would love to get it done in British Racing Green with white for the roof and mirrors. :doit:

I rented a Nissan Armada with 39K miles on it in Hawaii. "Tahoe Class Vehicle." It was.......a pile. Rear suspension sag big time, resulting in near tuck with 4 passengers and luggage. Handled vaguely even accounting for its barge status. Thirsty. Ugly. Some mediocre design components lik...

In4pics. Allison is pregnant again! So I’m curious if a seat would fit in the 86 with the passenger seat in the dash. I’m hoping there’s just no need at first. Congrats ! Don’t worry about the car right now. You got more important things to solve for and you’ll be taking the suv with the kid anyway...
