  1. The lady was scolding the Mc for riding too fast past their house.
  2. Been blowing up on Facebook today. https://youtu.be/hARMoy6PT60
  3. +1 to what csc said. Hyundai/Kia is garbage.
  4. Not the way I do it.
  5. I'll jack up a car, you come try to push it over.
  6. I still don't see a reason to lower the jack. If the jack fails, the car drops 1/4 inch onto the jack stand, I then remove myself from underneath the vehicle and investigate why the jack dropped, which is entirely hypothetical, because I've never had a jack drop a car onto the jack stand. I like how it says never to change a tire on the highway, I bet they want you to wear eye protection while jerking off, too.
  7. Exactly how do you sue a verb, dickhead?
  8. Well, Miss America, I've never had one fail. So I must be doing something right if I've been doing this for 24 years. The only time I've used "jack stands" to hold up a vehicle was if I needed to lift multiple sections at a time, which is maybe 1% of all the things I've ever done. Front axle swap on a beetle comes to mind.
  9. What kind of shit Jacks are you people using? I've never had one fail catastrophic, one cheap one I used back in the day would slowly drift down over a matter of hours, but how are you people getting these things to fall over? I've had a bumper jack fall over, but who uses those anymore? Now why won't a jack stand work for this "body block" idea?
  10. I just jack up the car, put jack stand under car, do what needs done to car, remove jack stand, lower jack. I don't see how these wood things change my odds of being crushed. If the vehicle falls with enough force to destroy a steel jack stand, how is wood going to help?
  11. So why not just leave the car on the jack, and put specifically engineered and designed steel jack stands under the car in place of these wood things?
  12. what's the difference between these and Jack stands?
  13. I use both brakes, almost every time.
  14. He should be fired for that, drag racing on the street is a serious offense. Not to mention his stupid comment about his bike being turbo.
  15. I can get there quicker on the bike than you can hauling a trailer, guaranteed.
  16. "Turbo" cop Harley https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=83&v=lP8K5Fa5xGo
  17. Why on earth would you trailer a perfectly good motorcycle?
  18. I'm in agreement with most here, "I had to lay her down" means "I panicked and locked up the rear, and wasn't smart or quick enough to ease off before the bike fell over and I was sliding."
  19. The one I rode was a piece of shit. You'd think with 2 front wheels you could slam it through some curves, but no, it applied the brakes on me mid turn, and it was nowhere near rolling over.
  20. My 1960s tractor has a governor.
  21. I idle out every manual vehicle I operate at one time or another. If you're smooth enough with a clutch, and it's governor is working properly, you should be able to do it on anything.
  22. You've done your due diligence, keep it
  23. Also terrible for national debt.
  24. I don't mind getting wet. I run rainx on my face shield, and a simple turn of the head from side to side every 10 to 30 seconds keeps it clear when traveling at speed. Stopping is a problem on my bike as the water runs down the plastic directly onto the exhaust pipe and creates an instant steam sauna. Fogs up the face shield, the glasses, the gauges.
