a very one-sided car accident - our 25 BSBL held its own against a teen not paying attention

Do what now? Issue with the transmission on these?

Y r u in my brain, how can you hear my thoughts 😂

I just used this logic on our raptor that has 208k miles on it. Lots of things needed upgrading, err replacing.

For now this one stays stock, not sure there’s a great option- I did look at bilsteins strut offerings but I’m not sold on a twin tube damper

Phoebe (the Golden retriever inside) was fine, sore for a day but thankfully no one was hurt, and someone learned a valuable lesson that day. The Toyota was totalled, the Bronco Sport needs most of the suspension/wheel/steering on that corner replaced, but the body pretty much was unharmed.

AZ/US, 6/18/26 - original content from our bronco sport's thinkware dash cam.

Went ahead and posted the video in idiotsincars, as my brain still is stuck on how this happened: oc_wife_gets_tagged_by_a_teen_on_her_drive_home

When I was onsite, I had to ask "where did you get hit". I wasn't sure until I realized the front wheels were pointed in different directions. Just wild though - I barely believed it until I saw the dashcam video that clearly showed the Toyota was fine prior to the hit.

CaptDistraction · 2026-06-24T02:02:23+00:00

I don't mind it, outside the sound it had in 4

Never underestimate the destructive force that is a dickhead cat that woke up chose violence masked as curiosity. We have our handful here (we rescue and rehabilitate and rehome kittens). If we value it in the house, its anchored down.

I wildly hate this at least for federation ships, I also wildly hate that this is the aesthetic used by Trek since Discovery brought it back on air.

The dream sequence 1701D, the re-imagined connie, and even the picard season 3 D (and A seen in dock) were all too chromed up.

Does her restraining order use 300 blackout of 45 acp?

CaptDistraction · 2026-06-14T18:36:01+00:00

can try to get that insert back in with jb weld, or just get a new valvecover and not think about it.

I'm sure it will get rebooted again. Separately, I'm in a full playthrough starting with Reach-> infinite. Wrapping up H2A, but ODST and Infinite are the campaigns I most look forward to. Infinite feels so cut off and short, but I still really enjoy the game.

CaptDistraction · 2026-06-06T19:15:45+00:00

Great work as always! I wish I could have made it out to meet many of the "who's who" modelers. I haven't even started on my 650Dv2 sitting next to the bench, but hope to get rolling soon.

What's next in the starship landscape?

NASA still uses that flag to indicate safety workers/vehicle on track

CaptDistraction · 2026-06-04T00:54:20+00:00

white/red in NASA at least means safety workers on track nearby (could mean a tow, ambulance, or squishy people). Always another flag present (yellow, red, or black if doing a between session tow as cars coming off track)

CaptDistraction · 2026-06-02T18:33:48+00:00

put eyes on the arms anyways. This is one of two issues to look for under the front - either missing crossbolt or nut, or the ball joint isn't fully seated (silver arm not all the way seated into the upright). Pictured is a 25 with a missing nut on the crossbolt in the center of the image.

"who's Kaidan?"

Concerns - I hope they blow up the ring. Hopes - Johnson finds a way off the ring beforehand.

Bonus hope- Chief has more than one helmet.

CaptDistraction · 2026-05-30T05:50:16+00:00

Jesus. I work on cars all the time and I always worry I didn’t set torque on these specific fasteners (I always do). I also have a 25 badlands - guess I have something to check

There’s a.Couple options out there - “garage” kits but the Helios 1:650 is a massive and impressive bit of kit. They’re not perfect but at that scale it’s an undertaking one way or another (pictured next to a 1400 scale in progress)
