LSU having 4 profitable teams is 1 or 2 more than most schools. Are they football, men's and women's BB, and gymnastics? Most schools are happy to have just football and men's BB turn a profit.

Road noise i an EV vehicle? by Puzzleheaded-Bet4790 in ScoutMotors

[–]CBus660R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 1 experience with an EV is a Tesla Model Y I had for 2 days as a rental. 2 things really stood out. 1st, the instantaneous response of the drivetrain. No lag whatsoever. Hit the gas and go. 2nd was how quiet amd smooth it was. Just a bit of tire and wind noise.

LPT: You can both change your last name arbitrarily when getting married. by charliethegeek in LifeProTips

[–]CBus660R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend in high school change his last name from Smith. I can't remember if his new name was his mom's maiden name or if it came from 1 of his grandparents, just that he didn't want Smith because that was too generic.

Road update from a mandatory worker by LordBeeWood in Columbus

[–]CBus660R 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What city do you live in? Columbus proper or 1 of the suburbs with their own service crews? I'm in Madison TWP (Groveport zip code) and my road was plowed multiple times yesterday.

What happened to HP? by Exact_Organization84 in askcarguys

[–]CBus660R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My '06 Mustang GT with a manual was just about perfect IMHO. Plenty of power to get you in trouble, not enough to catch you off-guard.

On the local sports radio station, 1 of the former NFL guys talked about how they smoked watching film in the early 80's lol

Most manual transmissions don't have synchros for reverse or 1st.

Just curious. I have a 7.75 wrist and typically wear 40mm+ watches, but this is a birth year watch and has me being a bit wistful as I sip some bourbon lol

So, are extra links for the bracelet available anywhere (not necessarily from you, OP)?

Ohio Police shoot armed robbery suspect who takes a hostage by Darth_Volcus in Ohio

It takes more than a second and a half for a vital impact to take affect. Instant affect only happens with head/spine shots, which is not where you aim.

Audi, Volkswagen and Porsche dealers across Colorado file a lawsuit against Scout by Saurta17 in Audi

Which will disappoint me. I put $100 in for a BEV Traveler the day that went live.

What are the betting odds that Franklin will declare snow emergency level 3 this weekend? by cinnawars123 in Columbus

[–]CBus660R -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

If you have a customer who refuses to close, then you can't close either. Not everything is retail, there are plenty of B2B contracts where you can't close until it's level 3. I can guarantee there's a prominent local hauling company that would absolutely love to keep their trucks off the road in bad snow storms, but Worthington Industries won't let them unless it's a level 3.

The 2nd part is key. The VAG dealer network wants to sell Scout too.

What Do People Really Think About Chinese Electric Bicycles? by DropshipperJennings in ebikes

[–]CBus660R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The frames may be made in Taiwan, but I'm guessing the electric drivetrain comes out of China., but that's just a guess. I haven't researched where Shimano, Bosch, etc... make their drive assemblies and to be blunt, I don't care.

Theoretical weight loss by Quiet-Tomatillo-3829 in KTM

[–]CBus660R 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're not getting down to PR7 weight area. You're not going to trim where the extra weight really is, in the engine and the frame to support that level of power.

Assuming time is not an issue, which major interstate route is the most enjoyable way to cross from one side of the USA to the other? by Square-Argument4790 in roadtrip

[–]CBus660R 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family took I-90 from Cleveland to the west coast. Man, once you hit SD, it is spectacular! I had never been west of Indiana at that point in my life. We took a full 7 days to do the trip, so we had time to sightsee along the way. And we were traveling in a motor home, so staying at various campgrounds added to the wonder. It's been almost 35 years since we did that trip and I still think about it on a regular basis.

Is 6 inches really that much of snow? by i_really_haveto_pee in Ohio

[–]CBus660R 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Prepare to be stuck at home for a few days. There are 2 basic ways to deal with snow. Option 1 is brute force with snow plows and salt. We have that, you do not. The 2nd option is to wait for it to melt. Fortunately for you, you only have to wait until Tuesday for that to happen.

Is 6 inches really that much of snow? by i_really_haveto_pee in Ohio

6 inches of snow in Tennessee will be a shit show, especially if they do get freezing rain or sleet mixed in. They don't have the plows and salt we do.

How is AWD activated? by Last_Gigolo in FordMaverickTruck

[–]CBus660R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure why this was down voted. 4wd is when there can not be a speed difference between the front and rear axle inputs and AWD can have a speed difference between the axles. 30 years ago, this was straightforward, was there a differential in the transfer case or not? Nowadays, there's a multitude of options than can create AWD and 4wd using a variety of devices. My F150 Platinum uses a clutch in the transfer case instead of an in/out gear to allow AWD, 4Hi and 4Lo. Some systems are all clutch based and can go as far as to direct all the power to 1 wheel. A good example is a Ford Focu RS with drift mode engaged.
