very useful thread that should spark lots of fresh ideas for o.p. (and me) to ponder. i wonder if the more recent edition of the nissan cvt is ok with a regular fluid change? cvt aside, nissan offers a variety of comfortable, non-speed-demon, vehicles in all size segments. selling to a young...

keep yourself in good health with proper nutrition and daily exercise. cut the cable tv cord and get a library card. max out annual ira and 401k contributions. put small amounts of “found money” into a flexible annuity that is “untouchable.” live within your means, avoid stupid debt. ensure...

if alec baldwin, instead of bashing the nra at every opportunity, had completed an nra firearms course and learned the four rules of firearms safety, none of this tragedy would have likely happened.

as long as the $1300/mo truck comes with granite countertops all is good, eh. /s

huh, really?

ship to ffl-yes. wait two weeks to take possession from ffl-no.

a great thread on a truly difficult subject. with a brazilian wife i might downsize in the usa and snowbird half the year in brazil but keeping a weather eye on the latter’s recent election outcome. california 50 years ago would meet most criteria here.

at 90% off still pretty much 90% cr@p but at least it’s all now fairly priced.

ease of fieldstripping, price/availability of extras and modifications, warranty support all point me to ruger. ruger pretty much owns the rimfire handgun market: charger, standard, 22/45, sr22, lcp22, lcr, single six, bearcat, wrangler.

i feel truly sorry for the normal folks of the u.k. i find it “interesting” that a wonderful, quiet, privileged life in beautiful british columbia didn’t suit this pair. i often wonder how harry complies with american visa and tax rules. following the events of april 19, 1775 americans shouldn’t...

ruger recently introduced a wide variety of barrel lengths and grip styles to its wrangler lineup. i have the 4.62” plowhandle and 3.75” birdshead models, but the model i really wanted all along is the 3.75” plowhandle. i also have a heritage roughrider but the wrangler is better built, and a...

i introduced a friend who is a lawful immigrant from asia to firearms. on his own research he decided on getting a ruger mk4 lite pistol. he isn’t “into guns,” and this mk4 lite is his only firearm but he cherishes it, putting probably 3k rounds through it. i have shot and fieldstripped it. the...

i drove the pch 5-6 years ago, south to north, in a hertz chevy impala, as a favor to an old friend sightseeing from taiwan with his new, second wife. the first hour was pleasant and interesting, the rest of my wheel time (and his trophy wife) wasn’t. i wouldn’t do the pch again, either as the...

my older son is a usaf pilot, flew cessna caravans in iraq. his reaction to this thread: “Would be very surprised if this was a straight structural failure. Very proven airframe with many hours in difficult military and freight environments.”

me too, but just for 6+ years. works great, just $25.

i like simple. my cars are a 2013 vw passat s and a 2014 toyota yaris l. of the two, if i were to keep one forever it will be the yaris: crank windows rule.

i had a u.s. spec 1993 volvo 245 in japan, saudi arabia and south korea for 12 years. the engine, transmission and body were great. all the small bits were not.

having respect for an inalienable, constitutionally-enumerated, right isn’t being picky. those states that esteem the 2a also tend to esteem other rights. whether one chooses to attend church, speak one’s mind on a street corner, be free of encroachments on private property or peaceably own...

joe rogan discussion. maybe you don’t like joe rogan but at at least he goes where most other journalists fear to tread.

Any other thoughts on their performance? i had a $500 all-in target price for both sets of tires. the continental tires run demonstrably quieter and stickier than their kelly edge predecessors on the passat. the yokohama tires were the best quality tire that discount tire had in stock that fit...
