It was colder last time I observed it, but it did this continuously for about 100 miles. The exhaust was definitey warmed up by then.

About 200k I believe.
I recall a meme from a little while back, but I can't find it. The gist was that any observed anomaly regarding a used vehicle for sale always translated to a blown head gasket. Can anyone find the meme, for meme's sake?

Being a few months into ownership of one of these, I think I understand the mindset of the person who installed the air ride. The splitter on the Shelby GT350 rides about 3.75" above the road surface. I've had a couple gentle scrapes, but I do not like that sound, and the fear of absent-mindedly driving over a major dip or turning into a parking lot at night and hearing that sickening "grunnchhh!" causes me to plan my route and not drive the car if I can't be sure of a total absence of dips. How do you people who daily drive something with minimal ground clearance deal with this? I've heard the Corvette guys can put little roller wheels under their cars.
Red or blue?
Blue
The Shelby is red, but I'm not sure if that has any effect on ground clearance.

So red has a better torque vector. And blue has more HP. Hummmm.
What's the best video graphics card for desktop PC between 300 and 400 bucks right now?
NVidia only, please. I have experience with a fairly high-end AMD Radeon card, and what it does best is turn electricity into heat.

Looks like the 4060Ti would be your primary option for Nvidia.
Current and Last gen Nvidia cards $300-$400
If you really need Cuda that's your best bet. If I were buying for power to price it looks like 6800's can still be had for $370ish which beat the 4060TI by a pretty wide margin for gaming. The current crop of Nvidia cards are pretty lame IMO. They're too busy selling pick axes for the investor-driven AI craze.
In reply to The0retical :
Timely, the 6800 just dropped $50

Is BAT in trouble, or have they just jumped the shark?
I thought I read here that people have had their cars/ads rejected, an idea that seems absurd to me, but I saw this recently. Even here where that stuff was quite popular, but is mostly gone, it's not really worth anything.

While the cult status of the Geo Metro is not up for debate, that car would give anyone with a truly nice car that has been rejected by BAT to be seeing red.

Son really likes his Gigabyte 4060ti.

I like to listen to concerts during work.
What three concerts, on youtube, should I listen to today?
not really a concert per se, but Ive been going down the MTV Unplugged rabbit hole lately, and really enjoy those straight through.
In order, My favorites are-
- Stone Temple Pilots
- Eric Clapton
- TIE- Neil Young or Alice in Chains
You also can't go wrong with the enfamous Nirvana set either... Or Lauryn Hill...

It does seem to be a curious mix of overpriced suburban car lot with a few nuggets (not the the Aussie slang variety) thrown in recently. I mostly keep an eye on a couple of selected brands like Lotus, and the motorcycle side. Especially the latter seems to have an odd selection.

Unfortunately I've burned myself out on them (and Pearl Jam, and Foo Fighters)

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree. I have no firsthand experience with the Metro, but I was once intimately acquainted with a 1987 Chevy Sprint. Reminded me of my '71 Super Beetle in the sense that, yes, it's kinda cool, but no, I have no interest whatsoever in owning another one.

I'm almost finished with Geddy's book and I therefore recommend some mature RUSH, perhaps something from the Snakes and Arrows tour.

Do you have access to other than youtube?
Every Friday, WXPN.org does a "Free At Noon" concert series in the auditorium the radio station is attached to. They usually livestream it through their website. They may also have an archive available during the week.

If the tractor only wants to run at full choke, and no amount of high idle adjustment can get it to stay running with blades or motion engaged, let alone both, it means in due for a carb rebuild doesn't it?
In reply to RevRico :
I would say yes. I have a 13 HP Tecumseh on my generator, and full choke is the only way it will run. I've experienced similar with the Briggs on my tiller.
Edit: Maybe not a "rebuild." Maybe just an "open it up and clear the trash out of it."
