Never heard of Alpha Gal... interesting.  And kinda frightening. 

See what you can shoot effectively while wearing your riding gloves. 

    The same can be said for virtually every "mid size" vehicle with a 3rd row seat.  3rd row seats in anything smaller than a suburban or full size van are so small as to be useless for anyone over age 10. 

There's a pretty good deal on an NPAP in the classifieds.

Yes, there's a "stop sale" in force for those models now. They're working on a software update that will have to be verified, and reverified, and re-reverified before it's ready for use. Then they'll likely issue notice to all registered owners of a mandatory recall, which will piss off all the people who live in an area where emissions testing isn't required (which is probably the majority).

    Good luck.  I'm watching the results of a very controlling father who's daughters have gone off to college unfold right now.  It's been entertaining from the cheap seats.  Isn't there a song about holding on too tight and watching it slip through your fingers?             Indeed.    Seems to me that the type of guy/kid who would date a girl with a dad like that, probably isn't really the type of guy/kid you'd really like dating your daughter. 

    The VW software people programmed the car to recognize the presence of an engine analyzer.  When the analyzer is installed, the computer uses different fuel/ignition map and engages the emissions systems.  When the analyzer is removed, the computer defaults back to a different map which uses less fuel, disengages emissions systems, and results in higher NOx and SOx emissions than are allowed by the regs.  They cheated and got caught.    Does that really mean anything to the end consumer?  Only if you live in a place that requires emissions testing.   

    To me, the presence of the gun and particularly his finger on the trigger removes all silliness and makes it pure intimidation.           Your co-worker is lucky that 22 yr old doesn't understand the concept of assault, though its clear he doesn't understand the concept of statutory rape either.

I have a sister so I have some idea, but it's been a while since we were teenagers. It's mostly the intimidation thing I don't get. Why not be silly or ridiculous instead of angry and threatening?

Maybe it's because I have boys, but I just don't get all the teenage daughter shaming and intimidation stuff.

No more sunburns!  :woohoo:

Welcome!

VW Jetta or Passat wagon diesel. 50 mpg out of either.

Got this the other day and thought it was applicable here.  Gives some options I hadn't thought of.   http://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/whats-wrong-grip/

Nice looking belts!

Is the ceiling under it accessible? You might try listening there and looking or feeling for movement while someone walks. Is there plumbing or significant wiring in that floor? Could be more movement than usual due to holes drilled in the joists for pipe or wire passage.

Welcome!

Indeed. Last of the modern day gladiators. 190mph through cities in the rain. Last form of racing that hasn't been sanitized by the safety nazis. Awesome beyond words. Pure insanity. I like it when they out run the helicopter across the top of the mountains. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LU-ynRoqDEs

Which is all they're really intended to be. As we saw in that thread a couple weeks ago, even a well designed safe is far from impenetrable.

Racism isn't the correct word, as it's got nothing to do with race. Bigotry is the operative word. And yes, instances of children going against the religion they were born into is exceedingly rare. Some religions accept the notion of secular pluralism, some tacitly ignore it, and some vehemently oppose it. The vehement/violent opposition is where the problems arise.

A fine underfolder. I'd like to have one.

Her holding a Glock. :)

Have one of the leather guys here make you one.
