  1. I'm not nostalgic about ICE vehicles unless there is something unique in technical areas, design, etc. So, I have second gen rx7 turbo, because of engine- Wankel. Turbine smooth. Also, I still have 2004 R1. It was last generation with 5 valves. Yamaha went 4 valves starting in 2007. 5 valves offer unique, sharper throttle response due to the nature of intake flow of 3 valves vs. 2 valves. We in era of pussification of motorcycle markets, 600s and 1000s race replicas don't sell, and Japanese are dropping those bikes one by one. I'll probably keep my cross plane 2016 R1 since it is, most likely going dinosaur. Unique engine design. Gonna have to convert from track to street bike. On the other hand I was not emotionally attached to XX, it was pretty typical bike for the era.
  2. My personal phone is Verizon, work tablet T-Mobile. Outside of bigger population canters T-mobile sucks. Still. About 25-30% of times I gotta upload pics and documents using my phone vs work tablet because it takes forever on latter in rural areas. Same for Geotab or electronic logbook. It will loose signal here or there creating issues. T mobile. I've installed Geotab on my phone as a back up in case I got pulled over, cop wants to see my logs, and it happens in T-Mobile dead spot. it happened once, thinks Elvis cop was cool- " ok, I let you fix it, be back in 15"
  3. You can always claim trailer is from Wisconsin. Title and plates are optional in the land of cheese.
  4. Once upon the time I decided to start eating breakfast 🥞. Why? Because everyone says you supposed to do it. Normally I don't eat shit till I feel like it, although strong coffee is mandatory first thing in the morning. So, no food for first 2-3 hrs after waking up. During that experiment with eating proper breakfast I just ended up eating whatever I would normally eat, plus that breakfast. Fail. I went back to previous eating regime after couple of weeks. I'd say all of us have natural eating clock, no need to change it. I'm just like my mother, we don't eat in the morning. She is 86 years old, and in very good health.
  5. Lol. I told you to get something like that years ago when you were in full drama queen mode over transporting bimmer on your little pickup. Circle of life. Btw back then you said there was no room for it in your yard.
  6. People will do amazing things instead of getting proper tool.
  7. Not necessarily. Not saying you are wrong but sometimes spacers supposed to crash to establish proper clearance or lash, etc. Hence stupid tightening force. Remember, you are dealing with German Engineering don't try to apply logic.
  8. Never grill any burgers inside of the house.
  9. Well, fuck. It actually costs less to make Ozempic vs. insulin. https://www.fastcompany.com/91071415/your-1000-per-month-ozempic-costs-5-to-make-says-study
  10. German Engineering. I have not owned and will not own any automotive products made by Germans. Never.
  11. Surrender your man card please.
  12. Well, fuck. Definitely rat, not mice. Is he still there or already left the ship? 🚢
  13. Better bagel? Kinda like better pack of cigarettes.
  14. Try to spray offending areas with soapy water. BMW. German Engineering.
  15. Shittest, cheapest the brand, more runout. Usually, not always, of course. I swapped my summer tires from bent rims onto donor's car good rims with shitty tires. Some Pirellis. All of them had massive runout. Nothing on my Goodyears. Why I had to swap? That was back in November. Some fuckhead going in opposite direction turned left into my path at intersection. Long story short I went over the substantial curb at around 50 mph. Some air time, huge jump, scrapped underbody and towing hitch. Car survived intact except for rims bent. All of them. They build them good. Volvos.
  16. I think you suffer from way too much time to kill.😁
  17. This one is hysterical.
  18. I don't buy and eat US made oats, etc. Forget about Cheerios, etc. Garbage loaded with sugar.
  19. Not worth it. I mean, do the wheels, but tires are not worth the time. Also, the only way to ensure the tire is centered on the rim is to mount on complete rim, and inflate the tire. Your way would not be accurate enough. 5 bucks says.
  20. Should have used air impact driver set up to 20000 ftlbs
  21. Done that. The thing is I don't smoke, don't have lighter handy, plus throwing match in the gap is safer.
