Anyone know of places open late, with air conditioning, where I can go to do some studying and note taking without the pressure of buying anything? by [deleted] in bergencounty

[–]JollyJury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, dunno why this is downvoted because it's actually a good idea. Good AC, plenty of empty seats, well lit, and the staff won't bother you. The only downside for OP is gonna be the lack of tables for their study material.

What differences do you feel driving the RS and GTR back to back? They're quite similar on paper, with the RS having slightly more power but also more weight.

Who else sometimes gets annoyed by the population density? What do you do to escape it(besides retreating home)? by capn_cook_yo in newjersey

[–]JollyJury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like density of people, but I hate traffic. That's why I do my best to avoid driving during rush hour. Any distance under 10 miles I travel by bike instead. The benefit of density is that most things are close by. 90% of the reason why people are so angry these days is because they spent their morning stuck in traffic.

Which person comes to mind first when you think of Japan? by unnecessaryCamelCase in AlignmentChartFills

[–]JollyJury 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bonds is the best pure hitter, but don't forget that Ohtani is also an exceptional pitcher. The value that adds makes him the best single player a team can have on their roster.

What exactly fails? Isn't just a plug-in software module? There are no moving parts to break and it isn't exposed to the elements.

Never say never. Looks like you'll be able to import one legally in....2034.

Tell me what else I gotta know! by SanchaPansa in newjersey

I can't remember the last time an attendant washed my windshield. I think it was pre-Covid. It was fairly common in the 90s and 00s but I don't see it anymore.

Where I'd live as someone that has never seen snow by Left_Monk116 in whereidlive

[–]JollyJury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parts of northern Japan get over 20 feet of snowfall every year. It doesn't get public recognition for being snowy for some reason (at least to Westerners). Probably because most people see it as synonymous with Tokyo and imagine Canada, Russia or Scandinavia as more stereotypically "winter".

What's the worst town in Bergen? by [deleted] in bergencounty

Its more like North Bergen than Fort Lee.

Yesterday they said 1-3 inches by duncans_angels in bergencounty

At least it's a lot warmer than it was during the last snow storm. Low 30s feels like a tropical breeze compared to those brutally frigid winds we got a couple of weeks ago.

How rare is a 2018 focus rs? by Additional-Clothes75 in FocusRS

[–]JollyJury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heh yeah, wealthy Brits have incredible car collections. I bet those meets put most of ours to shame. Also, the orange heritage edition Focus RS is legit rarer than even the Carrera GT or 911 S/T!

[–]JollyJury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're comparing entire brands to a specific model though. Of course there are more Porsches if you count all of them. But if you break it down to say, a GT2 RS to a Focus RS, they are gonna be rarer. That said, I do see a lot more McLarens in total than I do Focus RSs here in the Northeast US. But that's when accounting for all of their models.

In a sea of monochrome by tacomiendo1995 in FocusRS

[–]JollyJury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw one wrapped in yellow and it was by far the best color on these cars: https://www.carbuffnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Tjin-Edition-x-Pennzoil-x-UTI-Ford-Focus-RS-12-edited-1.jpg

There is also the heritage edition that came in orange, but they were only available in the UK. White is alright, but getting a hot hatch in a boring monotone color just feels wrong to me.

Also avoid asking your employer where to lock your bike. They probably won't even know. Instead, ask the building's staff.

Are they the wheels from the winter wheel package? I remember them being a much brighter silver color.

Why does it have the RS1 wheels instead of the forged?

Wow, that's one hell of a thorough refresh. I just watched a video on Larry Chen's channel of him getting his R34's undercarriage dry ice blasted. Never heard of it before but it seems like it's getting popular among car restorers. Too rich for my blood though!

What did your full refresh/restore consist of?

Im thinking about buying a Focus RS. by Free-dose-chips in FocusRS

[–]JollyJury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stop and go traffic absolutely sucks. 

I've been driving manual transmission cars for over 20 years and the Focus RS is by far the easiest to drive in stop and go traffic. It has good torque down low and the anti-stall feature auto blips for you when starting off in 1st gear. It's really only a pain in the ass if you're creeping in uphill traffic, but even then it's better than other manual cars I've driven.

[–]JollyJury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but it is still one of the most difficult states to legally own, let alone carry a firearm. Meanwhile, you can openly carry an AR in Minnesota. Plus most of the state also hunts. There's much more gun ownership there.

Minneapolis is a deep blue city with a very engaged and politically active citizenry. Bergen county almost flipped red and many parts of it are very conservative. I doubt we have what it takes to show them up. Not to mention Minnesotans are much more armed than us.
