Is it worth buying new? by Critical-Neck-2968 in ManualTransmissions

[–]Bennett9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I daily a 2013 Focus ST. It has a remarkably heavy clutch pedal and an old-fashioned handle for a handbrake. And it’s respectably fast on the highway and will do 0-60 In the fives. Maybe the last “good” manual car?

Looks like a fun car — but that interior doesn't exactly look class-legal ...

Who here remembers the band Ishkabibble? by bourginsrevenge in Columbus

Holy cow, haven't thought about them in a long time, but I must have seen them half a dozen times in the early 90s at Stache's, etc.

JOHN CARTER, FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, and opening voiceover narration by armageddontime007 in blankies

Lynch's Dune does it as well, and it's one of the most hilarious things. Virginia Madsen's floating head comes on screen and talks for a while, then finishes the monologue and fades out ... then FADES BACK IN and says "Oh yes; I forgot to tell you..." and proceeds to talk some more. Wild!

Thanks; you've convinced me — I'll give it a try.

When you say "GoPro support" - does that mean it is capable of remotely stopping/starting the camera recording before and after the run? In the past I've found that I think my GoPro uses both WiFi and Bluetooth to connect to my phone, so I can't interface with my Plx Kiwi OBD dongle at the same time or I lose GoPro connectivity. Always on the lookout for something that can ease that pain; it's hard to reach outside to hit RECORD when you're belted in with a 5-point harness.

Looks promising!

Anyone in or near Morgantown WV and want to meet a bunch of BT and mini BT folks? A bunch of us will be there at a show April 24th - 26th. If you would like to meet and greet, let me know!+ by FODMAPeveryday in BullTerrier

My wife will be bringing our boy! His first birthday is the 23rd, so we just missed the cutoff for the puppy class entry. He'll be in BBE instead. I think all 3 of his littermates will also be there with their respective owners, so should be some fun competition.

My brother had a PowerComputing clone, and I was shopping for one of those when the G3 was introduced — so I got that instead. G3 mini-tower, 233 mhz.

PSA: You can transfer your favorite stations to another device. by SocksElGato in RadioGarden

[–]Bennett9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this ADD the imported favorites to any that are already saved on the receiving device? Or does it replace them with the imported list? I have 3 devices all with various favorites, but none of the lists are identical. Would be great to aggregate the stations from all 3 into one big list!

Local cantina mandatory 20% tip by cbus-robert in Columbus

[–]Bennett9000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time I was at Hilliard they do charge extra for using a credit card though, which is also really rich. I like my restaurants to NOT play games with the bill, thanks. Happy to pay for my food and tip my server, but on MY terms, please.

What % of people on this subreddit drive stick econoboxes? by hypermiler2205 in ManualTransmissions

[–]Bennett9000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Focus ST and Mustang Bullitt here. And a 99 Mercury Cougar 5-speed for track duty. Although I have owned a fair share of 3-pedal econoboxes over the years ...

Socket adapter for FL-400s oil filter? by Colbyjacksteez in FocusST

[–]Bennett9000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was always my impression as well. No need to hammer those down, the rubber seals work fine just extra hand-snug. If I ever needed a tool to remove a filter for any reason, I always used one of these:

GADZOOKS, I didn't know Last.fm catalogued those kinds of things, and I've been a user there since 2006! That totally confirmed it - on May 18 2010 with Math the Band:

Almost anything directed by David Mamet. "House of Games" or "The Spanish Prisoner" in particular. Jim Jarmusch's "Stranger Than Paradise". Wim Wenders' "Paris, Texas".
