I scrub my windshield every time I gas up. I also keep a micro rag in the car to get anything on the interior side. I do a lot of night driving, so the less FOD there is, the less glare there is. When I drove my $500 Volvo home after it had been sitting under a tree for two years (gently caress PO'S ) I almost went into fits before I got it into one of the self-serve wash bays. Someone today actually asked me where my Miata's windshield was because they were convinced I didn't have one from about 15 feet away :V Beach Bum fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Dec 4, 2014 |

InitialDave posted:The basic mentality, that bikes are somehow not just another type of vehicle on the road, is the root cause for a huge amount of the problem on both sides. It wouldn't be so hard to treat them as another type of vehicle if it wasn't for the fact that most bicycle riders have absolutely zero regard for the rules of the road and the majority of cops are neither willing nor able (really; what cop is going to chase a bike that jumps a curb and books it down the sidewalk down an alley?) to ticket riders.

Throatwarbler posted:I'm pretty skeptical about that kind of thing, also with the claim that the Aston Martin V12 is 2 Ford V6s, because a V12 is 2 Inline 6 engines side by side, not 2 V6s in line, A V6 crank and bottom end would be completely different from what a V12 would need? It's an American (Yes I know Holden is AUS) car company trying to make something besides a V8, what did you expect?

I can get a 5q jug of Mobil1 20w-50 for like, $26.68 at my local Walmart. Where the gently caress are you guys buying oil? Or is Mobil1 the "peasant" full synthetic these days or something?

some texas redneck posted:My parents let me drink a 12 pack of Dr Pepper a day for years. <Fox News> THIS JUST IN! New study indicates Dr. Pepper could cause Eyebeem: Everything in moderation. Honestly I'd ask your pediatrician if the commentary about your kids' soda intake bothers you that much. FWIW I drank a bunch of soda as a kid (one-three daily, with LAN party binges and whatnot sprinkled here and there) but now it's rare that I'll have more than one a day except at a party, restaurant or a tabletop game, where I will suddenly revert to my teens and drink like a half liter an hour.

The bartender didn't call the cops on him but he thought he did. So you gonna post a picture of the dick you drew on the tailgate or what?

rndmnmbr posted:Dealing with three u-joints that all decided to die on the same day in the parking lot of an O'Reilly's in Tulsa, Oklahoma taught me about why I should always bring some tools. Maybe not enough tools to pull and replace an engine in the breakdown lane, but definitely enough to handle moderate problems. I finally ditched my 60-pound trunk toolbox when I got AAA. Granted, this does nothing if I'm more than 100 miles from home, so...

kastein posted:MacGuyver is still alive, fortunately. Or at least Richard Dean Anderson is. How did you know? Just the other day I poured 5qt of Mobil1 15w-50 directly in to the drain pan while doing the Miata. I was checking the dipstick for the third time before I had the moment of clarity and I'm pretty sure the neighbor across the street thought there was a domestic disturbance when the socket wrench hit the garage door.

insta posted:Why do you make your Miata drink peanut butter Because I regularly AutoX it and otherwise beat the ever loving poo poo out of it on the daily. I also live in Florida, where temps approach 90F at 9AM. 10w-40 was not cutting it and getting destroyed within 3000 miles, which I find unacceptable for a full synthetic. I'm getting more like 4k-6k out of the 15w-50 depending on the season.

The thing I always liked about manual was regulating acceleration not with the throttle, but with gear choice. As in, wanna go fast, let it rev. Wanna be a bit more sedate, change gear earlier. The throttle is off/on unless cruising or in traffic or whatever. I'm a control freak, I guess
