The aircraft involved, registration JA56AN, was delivered in 2009. That’s almost 15 years of flying under its wings. Depending on factors, you can get around a decade out of those transparencies. Read more

Yeah, I don’t get the hate for OEM+. It’s nice to add a few things here and there that either weren’t offered in this country, on your trim, or specific model. And since you’re using parts from your car’s brand, your car still looks close-ish to stock, just a little different. Read more

Yep! I sometimes run Gambler 500 rallies with southerners and sometimes their coolant is nothing more than water from a garden hose. Read more

Agreed! Also, I don’t see anyone using these to charge cars. What, are you just going to haul 26.9 kWh of spare battery around in the off chance you somehow can’t charge your car?

This sort of content probably isn’t for you, then. Read more

I mean, we could start with him boosting great replacement theory nonsense? I’m not entirely sure how you could spin that as not a horrible thing. Read more

Problem is, policing has been politicized from the start. Depending on where you lived in the early days of America, the first versions of what we call police today were there to stop you from gambling or sleeping with a sex worker. Read more

Most regular cars will be in a world of trouble against a full-size pickup. Keep in mind that crash tests against barriers simulate hitting something of equal weight and speed. So, a small car with a 5-star rating might not be as safe going up against a Ram 3500. Add lift kits and those bulky aftermarket bumpers and I… Read more
