I myself have been dealing with loads of stress lately. It ain’t helping!

You chose poetry, I chose the gym for three hours a day and the basement of the chemistry building for 8hrs/day (that’s where I studied). Whatever it takes!

Come on. One poem. Pleeeeease?

I probably could have swung it anyway, but instead I saved all my money from my job as a Commissary bagger to afford college living expenses that first year.

Good lord this is amazing.

It’s time to start my first overlanding build.

Oh hell yeah we’re talking TXVs on a mainstream car website. Not the first time, and hopefully not the last.

Beautiful part!

I don’t know why you graced us with this, but I’m happy you did.

I keep a little vial of it in my necklace.

Indeed, those look like heat shields.

Mounts are SUPER sensitive to heat, and there’s lots of that going around in any engine bay.
