There's a section of track near LA that this happens on a regular basis as well. Older news story

I shoot 30 rounds a year to qualify through my G21, if I go to a few classes during the year I might shoot 200 rounds in total through the year. I have yet to go a 5 year period without a new sidearm. Holster wear, yes. High round count, not anywhere near it for a Glock. Now, if we're...

GM also isn't putting the 10-speed in everything. Ford is using it pretty much across the line in everything RWD where GM uses their 8-speed in most things. They probably have far less 10-speeds on the road. Not saying that is the only reason, just that there's a pile less of them on the...

The pump probably creates small amounts of metal over time. Plus you get a little dirt past the seals.

Proud of those 6R80's it looks like. Probably on forever backorder too.

About 1000 pages a year. Most of that was the kid and wife. Kid for school, wife for.....who knows what.

I bought my Brother HL-3040CN when they came out near the end of 2009, just pulled up the counter for it: Still tickin.

I've always preferred Brother Printers. They seem to last a good long time and consumables are reasonable.

From what I've always heard, the string is just there to aid in assembly.

That's the thing with Ford though. They will sell you a vehicle 'without' remote start. In their terms that is a vehicle that does not come with the ability to start it from the key fob. But you can still start it through Fordpass. That is exactly what I have with my Ranger and mom's XL...

Cryo treatment? Wasn't that supposed to do lots of good things, including noise reduction?

Deal that Ford has with AT&T. I suppose the people that pay for hotspot service pay for the rest of us to be able to use Fordpass. (And also subsidized by the data Ford sells to marketing departments.)

It was interesting seeing inside one finally. I just wonder if it is worth the complexity/weight. Nissan must think so. Seems like it would be perfectly suited for use with forced induction the way they're using it.

In general, 'tire dressings' are not good for rubber. Just like regular Armor All is terrible for interiors.

If it has the compliance bushings, that's usually a good place to start. You've got a 2003 Accord, so you're familiar. They changed them up in later years though as I recall.
