    Why do people use the rear brake?

    If your not sure of conditions you ideally start on the rear to test conditions then slide into the front once you know what to expect. Locking the rear usually isn’t as bad unless you are the dumbass that only starts braking after the curve starts, around here the tighter curves conveniently...

    Sub Inflation

    I get still get most footlongs for $6.99 since I only buy the sandwich with coupons. Sadly coupons don’t work on salads, (they won’t chop them anymore either) also the bread now days is more narrow and tapered which makes the sandwich smaller dimensionally. Since Subway is still a place I can...

    What powers the ac compressor on an electric vehicle?

    My antique Insight did, the assumption was that the fan over the cold AC coils was good enough to keep you cool the <5 min you are normally stopped. Once any of a variety of different parameters was hit the motor could restart even in estop and ac would start again

    How far would you drive on a gamble for a used car?

    Yes and a few years later the brakes and seals went then the shift and clutch cables coorded. Then the gas tank started leaking through layers of gas tank sealant. (Thanks po) In storage I’m told someone is making reproduction wheel ends and brakes who I should get considering how otherwise...

    Roof quote

    My father and myself did the roof in 4 days (2 weekends) thankfully dry the whole time, used ondura instead of steel because of its diy nature , would never do asphalt tear down replace given how mediocre they have gotten (some houses start leaking at year 5)

    Non ethanol gas at gas station

    I have been noticing fewer stations selling every grade as e-free. (One has converted to only 87 octane as either with or without ethanol) 90 octane is a dead grade with or without ethanol in this region. 92/93 is very rare

    Guy living in his car

    44% of available jobs are considered as being “minimum “ or low wage jobs There aren’t enough children to fill more than about 40% of the minimum wage jobs. (And considering school moves that down considerably) many elderly past retirement age are in low paid jobs as well. Our demographic...

    What is the single best vehicle to buy if you're a tightwad?

    But it’s safer than almost any vehicle 6+ years older than it. Anything Before 2010 would (by government standards) be considered a death trap now days. For it’s weight it’s quite safe, the issue is 8000lb boxes

    Roof quote

    This is why all houses should ideally have a roof with 2 sides and nothing else. I would never own a house I can’t put my own roof on. It never leaks, any hillbilly can easily diy and if you have the unfortunate life ending experience of having to pay someone it should be done in a few hours...

    Deer and other animals continuously ramming my car

    Southern Wisconsin is having deer collision issues in areas they never did before as well (just not as bad) The deer apparently didn’t like the pandemic either since car animal collisions went up and stayed up.

    Deer and other animals continuously ramming my car

    I’ve avoided many more than I’ve hit, it’s just an inevitability when there are so many of the things and it’s like they all are even dumber with roid rage than I ever remember. State government has a gigantic multi million dollar forestry device that plucks all the trees 100’ from every road...
