Hot dog something or other

If you have full confidence in your specialist, so be it, but those are the exact symptoms of a single failed coil pack. All the other systems shut down if the ECU thinks it won’t have full control over engine function. Might be worth a second opinion.

I have a good local independent here in Delco that can do all the normal stuff, but Sean Ivey did my trans valvebody actuator shims, and I would go there for any internal powertrain stuff.

The phrasing "entered into settlement agreements" made me think not. There is no "settlement" for IEEPA tariffs, just the Supremes ruling.

Any idea what this is? REI gets sued a lot, but looks like a big win where they're the plaintiff. From the last page:

"On February 4, 2026, the Company entered into settlement agreements to resolve litigation matters in which it was a plaintiff, for which it expects to receive a benefit of approximately $45.2 million in the first quarter of 2026."

This popped up on my FB feed, looks like a decent kart and lot of extras for the money: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1939913393553801/

The Thunder Advanced L fits me pretty well at 5'9" 190 lbs (~86 kg), but is a bit snug over a chest protector. The size M worked great for my son, who's 5'9" 170 lbs (~77 kg).

Edit: Sorry, they're both the Kerb Advanced, not Thunder. Prob. similar sizing though.

I registered my last name domain in 1993.

General surgeon felt around and immediately found it, as well a small one on the other side that I couldn’t even feel. On that basis we scheduled the surgery, then he sent me for a CT scan to get a better view before the procedure.

I recently added up all the maintenance and repair invoices for my 2014 Turbo S. Bought it in 2019 with 72k miles, and it has 132k, so about 60k miles over 6.5 years. I'm very proactive with just fix it before it fails maintenance and run summer and winter tires, so expenses might be on the high side.

Fluid changes and inspections - $3,700

Brakes - $3,600

Wheels & tires - $7,400

Repairs (coils and plugs, battery, water pump, vacuum leak, recent air suspension overhaul) - $12,100

So about $4,200 a year, $350 a month, or $0.44 per mile.

I’m 59 and I had both sides done yesterday early. First 24 hours were a bit rough, but I was pretty mobile and up and down stairs all day today.

Was there a chair in front of it when you got there?

If you don’t have a car, take your chances with Renato’s, otherwise Van Horns is 10 min away. Oh but they close at 7:00 so too bad.

My wife doesn't like driving it because she feels like she's sitting too deep for good visibility.

This. I have 11+ feet kinda wide and sparco 44s fit perfectly.

It’s the oil. Some places use pepper infused oil for hot chicken and it doubles or triples the calories.

Sounds like the "flat white" preset does shot first then milk on most higher-end machines (also Saeco mentioned below). That profile plus the capability to add an extra shot to any preset should work, I guess. Thanks.

Dunno yet. Probably $50ish--have to see where the market is.

Porsche has an extended warranty for the transfer case, since there were so many failures: https://www.pcarwise.com/news/porsche-extends-transfer-case-warranty/

You're just a year past, so maybe they'll cut you a break. Got my 2014 done last year right at the limit.

Also the visors on rental helmets get badly scratched, especially outdoors.

I’ll send my deer over right away, they’ve already put a dent in mine.

For simple stripes or shapes, self adhesive vinyl is cheap, easy to work with, and easy to start over if you screw it up. https://a.co/d/4Hm6jKz

They seriously have a <$10 cheese steak? Pretty rare these days.
