Natural vagabond. Still plays with cars and motorcycles.

Hopefully! Not sure if it’ll be camping or staying in a hotel. But definitely considering another run. Read more

Yeah, nothing drains your bank account more than filling any sort of recreational vehicle. Lighting a pile of money on fire could be more fun, and less painful. Read more

Yeah. It was the cheapest way to do it, and we came out alright on the other end. Definitely have a lot of notes as to what I’d do differently if we decide to tackle this again. Read more

lol. In hindsight, likely would have been good. But we would have needed to take apart the unit to even get to where it was leaking.  Read more

I am sorry for your loss. I wish I had a hack for ya!
I find when all else fails in the merchandise department, do a hat. Read more

I found the best away around the F1/Euro merch problem, if you’re small enough, is just get it in a youth size. My Alonso McLaren shirt I purchased at the 2017 Montreal race is a youth XL. $40 instead of $70-90. Looks like the adult jerseys, but fits way better. (Also the CAD to USD pricing helped a lot too.)

I mean, as current reigning MotoGP World Champion, I would think he can do what he wants. I support this. Read more

We get it Adam, you got the cool trip this weekend. Also, way to get the Friday thirst trap going I see... Read more

Important question...
Even though I do need to work on my 190E, I could get a new cold-air intake for the GLI and do that instead this weekend. What should I do?

Also shopping for a motorcycle, cause it’s time for something new. Read more

I actually had this in my back pocket... but I could not find any near Denver...maybe one in the entire 200+ mile radius I was looking in. Good choice. Solid. Read more

I am here for the simplicity. But, a class I took years ago had us try to explain how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to someone else... and I guarantee you, someone, many will fuck up even those instructions.  Read more

This advice could apply to so many things. On things that aren’t as necessary, maybe it’s ok to cheap-out a bit. But otherwise, steer clear of the cheap things for your car. You will just end up paying for it, potentially more in the long-run. Read more

I feel your pain. And you’re right. Most of us are in these situations or on this site because of our outright stubbornness. When we’ve made a decision (however smart or stupid it may be), we’re going to make it happen. And learn our lesson, in an expensive way. Read more

According to my calculations with your guide... I (and many others) have made a huge mistake. Read more

You are not wrong on any of that. I often thought to myself if just doing improvements on my GLI would be enough for me. Now the Mercedes is taking up space in the garage and I contemplate those life choices daily. Read more

Awwww why ya gotta do that? Very anti-Nickelback in my domain. Cannot fathom ever equating them to Foo Fighters. Nope.  Read more
