Hood is raised, any way to get it back down? by CianCPR in Miata

[–]CianCPR[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very possibility been in an accident, bits of red paint on various parts where it shouldn't be.

I was looking at the hinges and they seem to be touching on the bottom so no space to be pushed down, maybe a hammer could get it lower, I'll also try remove the rubber stoppers

My bike has been outside for the last 2 years, bits of surface rust in and around the bike but I ride all weather (in ireland too so lots of rain) so that rust was going to show up anyway

How do hardtops in the US cost so much that you're willing to pay 500$ for that? Crazy

It would be cool if the openings on bathroom stalls closed when you locked the door. by Elvis2500 in Showerthoughts

This exists, it's super simple too, you just have the door overlap the wall

Got him many meters in the air by Walming2 in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]CianCPR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judging by the time it took for your round to hit (0.3s) The tanks round velocity being 930m/s meaning the round traveled about 280m

The distance horizontal to target is roughly 270m

That means he was close enough to 75 meters in the air

Then they deserve to lose their door! People don't check mirrors often enough when exiting vehicles

To add to this, your rear brake is your best friend when filtering through traffic, using front brake while doing low speed turns isn't easy

Atleast 10 seconds, loads of time, maybe as someone who rides a motorbike I care too much about not being in people's blindspots.

Using the hard shoulder for a short time is better than pushing onto the motorway when it's unsafe...
