I went to Cars and Coffee last month and no mustangs killed anyone.

Only just heard about https://www.24hoursoflemons.com/rally, anyone know of similar events (cheap/bad cars, relatively low registration fee) in the Southwest? If I can get some friends to commit we could even trailer the 164 or the 280ZX out to the California rally... a Ranger can tow a car+trailer all the way from New Mexico to California, right?

Roadkill did this in a recent episode. It seems like fun if you ignore the NE one is in the winter.

I got one with Immortan Joe on the back. Triple checked that spelling. The 8-10 week wait is going to suck but will be worth it just in time for September.

The DUP are also generally bigoted religious climate change denying zealots.

So will get on with most Tories then.

DUP has their own agenda that doesn't jibe even with the Tories, so it'll be an unstable alliance at best.

No doubt, the Tories just don't want to run a minority government that will be ineffective like the Major government and then collapse in a heap before Corbyn gets a third bite of the cherry and manages to get his own majority to which he can do... something I guess. That said if he had gotten in he would be hosed since he promised to scrap tuition fees which I support but where would the money come from?

At 15k you might be able to get a newish Camaro or Mustang convertible.

Doom 2016 is all about jumping around picking stuff up and stomping Demons in the face while listening to the awesome sound track. The sparks exist purely to kill GPUs that are not worthy of Doom 2016.

Just keep in mind that if you make your hobby your job then it is no longer your hobby. That has always been my concern when thinking about doing anything with cars as a career some point in the future.

I'm just getting sick of IT, I can't stand dealing with these....people, anymore. Poor management, ignored consultations and counseling, poorly planned projects.

I felt the same so I moved into product engineering instead. So I get to make the lovely product that IT people hate rather than suffer it.

Both the OSHA and crappy construction threads are following it, apparently the company that did the renovation hurriedly removed all documents and pages referring to their involvement from their website.It sounds like a story from a corrupt third world shithole, so I guess that's the UK now.

We can say that after the construction company get away with it. Of course the trial will be put off until after EU laws are repealed and there will be no UK law to prosecute them I expect. Just have to bung some MPs a few quid.

You are not selfish because donating a kidney opens you up to complications later. It is not something that you should just do.

I found over a certain age and on certain types of car you get ok prices. Being young and wanting anything even mildly fun put you into the gently caress barrel. I still think Australia has the best insurance system, you get 3rd party on your Rego/MOT/Inspection and if you want more coverage you pay for it.

For road driving i prefer Attesa but if you really need AWD for grip in non dry road conditions then a 50:50 full time system with ESC like an Evo or Subaru will be better. Driving a 50:50 AWD system fast as Cat Interceptor said is about planting your foot and letting the computers sort it out.

As for FWD systems with AWD when needed my wife has a Tiguan 4Motion and in the snow and sludge it does well but you can tell it is there just to keep people on the road rather than any kind of performance application. If you do plant your foot it thinks about it for 3-4 seconds then decides to go into AWD and start responding :v:

The added bonus of being screwed around by other buyers/sellers in the chain so it takes 8 months to close on the house you want.

If you have never seen a near totality or totality eclipse it is really weird. The animals get confused and think it is dusk. When it happened in 1999 we had all the birds singing their evening chorus and the bats coming out. Even had a fox jump into the garden and be very confused as to why we were out there. He was even more confused when it suddenly started to get light again.

I had to go to bed at 8 last night as I was just exhausted from a busy week. Most of the time I stay up until 10-11 but if I get one of those weeks it is time for a couple of early nights.
