    Robot, this is Porsche not Bugatti. However, its been rigorously laboratory tested to repeatedly deliver a very specific quantity of coffee at a specific concentration within a temperature range of + or - 1 degree, and it probably holds the Nurburgring lap record for coffee machines. And you'd...

    Ok, so on the one hand I can understand this, the plugs and head are made from different metals with different thermal expansion coefficients, and over the course of seasonal changes and driving maybe some corrosion can form between the metal threads of the plug and aluminum heads that could...

    I don’t know man, this sounds like another way for Porsche to get owners to drop a rack on another service.

    Why change plugs at 11k miles, considering the PITA it is to change plugs on that car? Overreving that car in any gear but neutral and you're breaking the speed limit wherever you are. And will he sell it before it hits 15k?

    The STRUGGLE bus...let's get some positivity going.

    I've had 2 serious TBI's in the last 5 years, I was out for about 15min. for the first one before they found me, and about 5-10 sec. for the second one about 2 years later. I was different person for about 3 years, but for the last year or so have been kind of back to who I was before. Like...

    Bring a Trailer - OMFG or On Topic

    Who knows? Ask the guys spending $30-40k plus on front wheel drive cars from the 90's that don't even come close to a base Civic today. I get the whole Nostalgia thing, but does it it not wear off within 10min. of driving an Element? Its not like you're getting into an old Ferrari, Porsche...

    When cars like this sell, I love reading the comments at the end of the listing. People love to spend big money to relive their mediocre years.

    A little acid in the rain from all of your dirty trucks emissions should help take out some of those tough stains. Circle of life. When I take it in for service, the car wash guys need to earn their keep. Plus that's the point of Expel and PPF anyway, right? I got it so I can put it away...

    Park your truck outside tonight, good wind-driven rain, free wash! If you're extra motivated, turn it around half-way through so all sides get washed equal. And Carson would definitely not approve of my particular vehicle and the filthy condition that its in.

    I can't do the drowning thing, I believe more in one shot one kill. Get a decent pellet gun with a good scope rated for pellet use. The piston operated ones are good, but don't get an overly powerful one. The recoil impulse makes them difficult to be accurate with. Basically, the piston is...

    I utilize traps also, however, they get wise to them quickly. The ones that get wise to the traps die of lead poisoning.

    I've already initiated the 2025 tree rat elimination campaign. I've fed the neighborhood fox with 4 of them so far.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    Oh yea, then how are your hero's on "The Squad", like OAC, who are champions for the poor going to afford a new pair of Jimmy Choo's every week?

    West Bank goes without saying. Since we're totally going off the reservation, Iceland is on the list for salmon and trout fishing, I hear its phenomenal there.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    I think what's driving the disagreement here is that the Japanese that we detained were citizens that we imprisoned on suspicion of spying, etc. then we let them go after the war. For your analogy to work, they would need to residents of a territory that we captured in the war, but Japan refused...
