I bought a very old motorcycle from a friend in college and proceeded to slam it into the back of a Maxima three months later. Surprisingly, he never gave me any poo poo for it and let me borrow a different very old motorcycle for a group ride later that year.

Humphreys posted:On illegal things: I'm morbidly curious about these. I know they're super dangerous to use, but I also want to mount one in a vise and test it to failure (somewhere between 2 and 10 shots, from what I've heard). In the US, I understand they're legal to print and own (local laws notwithstanding) so long as you epoxy enough steel in the receiver that it would set off a magnetometer.

I think the general rule in the US is that you always park on the right unless it's a one-way street. I know in the UK (and probably most of Europe), it's a free-for-all, just jam your car wherever there's a spot. I've never experienced one of those reverse-angled spots, but I think they'd be a hoot. I've seen some videos of drivers struggling with them.

Everybody get an e-bike. Check out this thread for e-bike guidance! https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3933074 I'd worry an electric hunting bike would be super heavy because it has two motors, and its range would suffer. It'd probably be interesting to ride though.

ishikabibble posted:It's funny to laugh at americans not knowing how to drive a roundabout but the real failure here is opening up a roundabout in an area that has none and then deciding it's a great idea to let cars drive on it before any marking or signage is even laid down. From what I read, there is a ton of signage and markings they just hadn't gotten around to finishing. It's bizarre that they'd open it up without at least temporary signage.

coupedeville posted:This is an 1986 coupe deville that I got at auction for the low low price of 505 american funbux. It was owned by an elderly gentleman and his wife drove the vehicle until she passed away. It sat in a garage until the man passed away. His daughter attempted to sell the car two years ago after he passed away but she was asking almost 4200$ for a vehicle that wasn't running from sitting and only broke brain dummies like me would actually be interested in. The estate just recently went to auction and I was the unfortunate high bidder. The vehicle is dead and it has the digital dash so I don't know the exact mileage yet but the last oil sticker says 154k in 2007 and the DOT codes on the tires are from late 2006 so this vehicle could very well have been sitting for up to 13 years. This is what my auto tech training picked up as well as chatting up the next door neighbor and also the very limited amount of information I gleaned from the auction manager when I was waiting for the tow truck to show up. Either way I'm sure that the air struts were rotted out well before I got here, as the 86 coupe deville I had in high school had cracked air strut bellows before I even owned it in the mid to late aughts. Did you change your username for this car, or are you just repping Coupe de Villes for life?

coupedeville posted:My username is based off of my high school coupe that I had! My coupe was red with a red vinyl top and red velour interior. For a teenager in the midwest it was pretty sweet and made for an awesome rolling cannabis parlour. So that's why my online handle has always been coupedeville. I love 80s shitbox cadillacs. My dream garage would have an 86 coupe deville, a bustleback seville and a fleetwood brougham because my brain is profoundly broken with regards to automotive passion. I dig it!

Darchangel posted:Never really understood why they had A and B. Just make the cord A on both ends... A is for the host, B is for the device. USB was purposefully designed so you couldn't just buy an A to A and plug one computer into the other. That's why printers always have those chunky Type B connectors. USB-C built in some auto-negotiating smarts, but you run into weird situations where, e.g., your phone might try to charge your laptop if the phone thinks it should be the host.
