20 on the van is pretty bad but I guess it’s a rolling shipping container. Weird the atlas does better on fuel. Did you test a 2.0T one or just the VR6? I wonder how laggy that motor feels in something this large. Not surprising that it drives better than it should. Nice to hear. And I keep reading...

My bike did go from 20.5 to 18.3 pounds. It feels like I really have a :fancy: dentist bike now which is kind of fun, but also now no excuses to not be fast. I did also get carbon bars too. All of it was $1800, so :notbad: :ramz: , shifting, brakes, bars. :impressive: I'm hoping I'll get there even...

Agreed on all of that. It's funny how they were the ZoomZoom company for so long and now they're more like an entry luxury offering. The handling on the 3 is certainly good enough but nothing super sporty. It's amazing how quickly I get used to the scroll knob CarPlay interface though. I hadn't had...

Rented a Mazderp3 last week. Pretty nice car, I quite like these. Mazda really nails the tech thing and just not going overboard in so many dumb ways. The old six speed auto, no touch screens, etc. feels refreshing as hell after so many convoluted rentals. Also, I averaged 35 MPG which was pretty s...

Man... very hard to say. :iono: I set off on the group ride portion with the A group and got dropped pretty much where I normally get dropped 10 miles in. They average like 24+ MPH, I enjoy hanging on the back for dear life as long as I can, generally 8-10 miles. Bacially I averaged 20.0ish solo wh...

Yes we have talked about the cost and know we need to cut it back. You only have bits of information and I’m really not going to share more about that since it’s a sensitive subject for her. But yes as I mentioned if that can be cut back the options open wider. Wifey has been pushing to sell the 86...

I was stoked on that, generally I'm ~18 MPH riding road solo, sometimes faster. I was faster back in 2021, trying to get back to that level but I don't have the time I did during COVID/my inside sales gig. Yeah that's moving. How much do you feel like the wheels helped? Man... very hard to say. :io...

I never posted up after getting the spool valve fixed, but that did seem to resolve the leak. Once I cleaned off the cradle it's been dry since, and no new stains on the driveway. Just ordered the other two trim trim pieces I needed for the driver's side doors and new rear shocks. Once those things...

I can't imagine it in the wet. Did some cycling this weekend. I have a tradition of riding 2X my age on my birthday, turned 35 Saturday so went out and did 71 miles. I hit about a 40 mile group ride and then 30 solo, I wound up averaging 20.2 MPH so I was pretty stoked on that. It was my first big ...

I will never understand the whole "throw an egg on a burger" bs. It’s fine, but generally don’t want it. My issue is, I only want the egg on there if it’s over easy and has that gucci runny yolk, but in the hamburger format, that runny yolk just makes a mess all over your hands and chin w...

While I agree that beets on a burger is weird and wrong, I could be tempted to try it if they were sliced thin enough. I'd try it. I love beets. :iono: I dig beets as well but I don't really want sweet stuff on a burger. LTOPMM and cheese are the only acceptable toppings to me. I guess bacon if you...

:nice: I have whorange as well (when I picked mine up, they had it as a floor model). This is a classic case of the “You versus the guy she tells you not to worry about” meme. The 3 ton absolutely dwarfs the 1.5. https://i.postimg.cc/svLsvVXR/IMG-2296.jpg Funny I have a near identical blue and silv...

Have you thought about trying a mouth guard instead? That's what I do it's a nice middle ground. I have, but the sleep study showed my blood oxygen level getting fairly low while I sleep, so this thing pumping oxygen into my lungs all night seems to be the way to go. First night of sleep was.. meh....
