Beautiful day again today so I went for a ride with a buddy. I huffed and puffed out about 12 miles slow as gently caress and felt great until I got on Facebook and see Cat Interceptor's ride posted. :v:

drat good work man. Maybe I'll get there one day.

People who make more than minimum wage but less than $15.00/hr are always the most vehemently against a $15 dollar minimum wage for some reason. :allears:

It's because they truly think they're better than those making minimum wage.

I have an affinity for cheap canned meat despite how bad I know it is for you. Spam, sardines, canned shredded chicken, etc.

Underwood's roast beef spread plus some sharp rear end cheddar makes a drat good lunch sandwich even if it looks like cat food. :v:

The company I work has been getting new cars in two weeks for the past couple of months. Initially rumors were they were going to be Jeep Renegades or maybe Chevrolet Captivas but somehow we all got disappointed when a brand new Chevrolet Trax showed up in the parking lot. I got to drive one today.

Trip report:
+Nice big tacho and digital speed readout, a la Sonic. Looks cool. Easy to read.
+1.4 turbo 4 seems to pull nicely. It's not fast but the power delivery is well suited to this vehicle.
+Transmission is pretty good! It has a legit manual mode that will shift quickly and hold gears.

-Somehow a brand new compact crossover with 70 series tires rides like poo poo.
-Handling is not confidence inspiring. The vehicle feels top-heavy and there is little feedback from the road.
-No cruise control.

My daily work steed is a fleet spec Focus and it felt like a race car around corners after driving the Trax.

So the new Civic in the US comes with a 1.5T? Still a little under-powered for my liking. My buddy with a 2002 Honda Civic AT with 238,XXX miles just traded it in for a 2014 today. It just had its 3rd tranny.

The latest crop of small turbo motors actually have torque where it will get used, though.

lol if you're never had an absolute moment of fear seeing a cat ready to pounce at you

Startling, but not nearly as scary as hearing mountain lions screaming in the distance when out in the middle of the woods.

Can someone make sense of this for me?

The guy throwing the signs put the numbers on the wrong sides?

Edit: Or not. Iowa is apparently wacky.

Re: That Mitsubishi video - Today I learned "sex spec" is a thing. I guess that's the name for the early 2000s Fast and Furious looking douchebags?

What's fun is if you go back and re watch the first F&F movie it's funny how badly it has aged.

Ahh I love when the latent racism comes out in AI

There's a little yellow Camaro Mustang in all of our hearts.

Edit: gently caress, Rhyno is right.
