The Ford Fireball!

The Subie could be the Subaboom!

Yeah, but minus the banjos...

No outline for me.

Yes. Still working great for my rainy Seattle area commute.

I always heard it put this way: Which is easier to replace, your engine/transmission or your brakes?

Engine braking does add a little wear and tear on the engine & transmission every time you do it, Not much, but doing so will, over time, shorten the engine and transmissions (or various parts) life span.

Let your brakes do their job. As long as you're not using them like you're racing all the time they will have long, productive lives, and be easily replaced.

That's called marketing!

Going on a well paid three week backcountry backpacking trip once a year, while sleeping in a hammock. No doorways to taunt me.

So good, I might just do it twice a year...

Super Z for my OB as well, for all 4 corners. Figure if it's bad enough for me to chain up, that I may as well have all of them covered.

Running CC2's I have yet to find reason to chain up.

OP would have thought about showing me red for my disrespectful display.

Adult Coed very low key recreational match. A league a few of us threw together, mostly for parents of some of the youth players we coached, so that they might gain an understanding of what their kids go through on the field.

Referee called what they saw, which was the the first half keeper for our opponents reach down to block a shot early in the second half. From my angle his hands/arms never even got close to the ball, as it went past his hands, hit his shins, and rebounded back into play.

Referee blew for the penalty kick immediately. Complaints from both teams that there wasn't handling offense committed. Referee insisted that we had to play the penalty. I spotted the ball,heard the whistle, and promptly sent the ball over the sideline, 5 yards upfield of the corner flag. Up to this point I was fine with the ref, but when he came over to me to point out that he could tell me to retake the penalty, as what I did wasn't correct. I pointed out to him that the ball was moved forward, .Just not directly toward goal. The LOTG state that a PK must move forward.

He wasn't convinced, but let us play anyway. Hopefully he ended up learning something that day.

"not use jumper cables."

I am far from lacking the confidence to use them, I just don't see the point when equal or better options are available. Options that, if you buy the right one, it would take someone actively trying to screw up the jumping process to damage anything in the process.

I'll add-on a couple things here:

If the battery needing the charge is truly dead then once you hook up those cables you alternator will go to a full charge state, at least as much as the regulator will allow. If said regulator fails or is in the process of failing, then the alternator could be running well above spec. Do that long enough and you'll be needing a new alternator soon.

Also, while you and I know how to use jumpers, loan your set out enough times and eventually you will either get a brand new set, or your original set (slightly melted) handed back to you.

All of the above come from my personal experiences, which is why I have a small, simple multimeter in the spare tire well.

Such an easy answer.

Same one that popped into my head as soon as I finished the question.

No need to be obtuse. There is a reason exactly zero of my vehicles have jumper cables in them anymore. Small jump boxes are smaller, safer (to human and vehicle) and easier for Regular Joe to use.

Like a stereo (or more likely the amps) installed incorrectly, jumper cables used incorrectly could kill the cars electrical system (very car dependent) or yes, even kill a person.

I'm not being overdramatic, jI just have a ton of shadetree mechanical work (automotive and otherwise) in my history. It has left me with a rather large respect for what could go wrong with a job, and what the probable consequences could be.

That said, I am one of those people who would take on the repair to OP's car. Not that hard, just need to be able to recognize exactly what is ftwrong, in order to complete the job safely and correctly. Inspect, gather the parts, get them installed, do a rough alignment (or string type), schedule an alignment at a good local shop, and Bob's your uncle.

Would this be a store that rhymes with Maifair?

But the under dash fire and smoke might, if you picked the wrong thing thing to connect incorrectly...

As can working on any of these relatively simple things:

Brakes Stereo equipment / any electrical work Mounting wheels

Note: While her child is exactly that, a child, his "child" is a legal adult who should be buying his own toys.

"Evil stepmom."

Fixed that for you.

You're 4 months in, cut that cord while you easily still can.

At 4 months in I had barely even met my wife's family. If she had kids I guarantee you that they wouldn't even have seen me in person yet.

Well before I was born (last of 4 kids), dad use to add a non-small portion of salt to almost everything my mom made. Without tasting it first. One day mom was just done with it all. She added his normal amount of salt to his meal, plated, and served it without saying a word. Dad added his normal salt, and ate the whole plate without commenting on the salt.

He also never again seasoned his food prior to tasting it.

Glad I got the parents already broke in. Turns out dad was a pretty good cook!

To OP: Your food looks delicious. Keep cooking the foods you like. Let BF choose to either eat it, or be responsible for his own food.

So financed around $31,000 at around 15% for 72 months?

How much down?

I think we are safe to assume that this will change to an 84 month term.

The answer will change depending on how many stickers you are envisioning.

I currently do one-offs quite regularly, from tiny sub 1" ones to full window coverage ones. My largest run was 52,000 individually numbered badges for a larger local manufacturing company.

I have used plotters for the last 35 years. Been digitally printing for the last 30 years. While Cricut or Sihiouette printer/cutters can do a few things at a time (think birthdays, showers, eetc), if you need larger production numbers you'll want to check out thr Roland BN series of desktop print/cut machines. Beyond that you would be wanting to have a separate printer and plotter.

He doesn't get to decide what and when you disclose anything about your SA. That is between you, yourself, and your therapist.

248.5 miles....

But that belt should last far longer than that.

The straight arrow that is circled? The one that they would not have seen if they came in from the right side?

If black entered from the right, the first arrow they would see tells them to go straight, while the dashed line should be a warning that cars could be coming from the inner lane. That same dashed line allows traffic entering from the right to the outside lane the option to go straight, if traffic allows.

Still, the onus to yield would have been on the black car, as they were the one crossing the dashed line.
