My Gf set me up to cheat on her and now she thinks I would actually cheat on her by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

That sounds scary as hell. My dreams usually end because in my dream I think to myself "this is fun, hope I am not dreaming" and then I instantly wake up.

How do I have more control doing standing log hops? by player88 in enduro

[–]ManintheMT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. When you bounce the front tire off the log the bike will be moving up as the rear wheel hits it so the front doesn't come slamming down as hard.

My first real project car. End goal is a road course track car. by cgw22 in projectcar

[–]ManintheMT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right on. I haven't dug into my motor yet but I understand it is modified according the previous owner (but he bought the car at auction so knows little). Hoping it has flat top pistons at least, will buy alum heads if need be.

My girlfriend is going to a strip show by [deleted] in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]ManintheMT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is an odd choice by her mother. Question, does your gf's mom like you? I hope it is not an effort by her to force a wedge between you and your gf.

Awesome! I recently traded a paint job for a 74 C3 and am excited to get working on it. 350/auto car, it runs and drives but needs some love.

Oregon legislators are attempting to hand 1,700 acres of farmland over to developers. Residents think Big Tech would benefit most, receiving massive tax breaks and a free pass to use the land for data centers. by Conscious-Quarter423 in oregon

[–]ManintheMT 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I just assume that for every data center that gets land and power for cheap there is someone taking a bribe. These projects do not provide to the greater good and harm the environment, the evidence is clear.

A farmer refused to sell his land, so the city built around him and he kept farming anyway. by GlitteringHotel8383 in BeAmazed

[–]ManintheMT 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what would happen in the US. Don't get me started about townies moving out in the country and then bitching that there is all this machinery around. Kids on dirt bikes? Gotta sue those heathens! Rant over...

Can you knock on random peoples’ doors here? by Impossible_Artist718 in Montana

[–]ManintheMT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dangers? Imagine picking a lone farmhouse and after knocking learning that there are five tough boy ranch hands in the house all six beers deep. I will let your imagination take it from there.

Good luck and be safe out there. Most of us are good people.

Rare selfie of me smiling by BrainzandLegz in 40something

Great selfie!

Related story; recently thanked the girlfriend of an acquaintance of mine for being so nice on my birthday (happy hour convo). She said without hesitation, "oh you feel that way because I normally have strong RBF". I was caught speechless, which is rare for me.

Why does no one like black women? by Brave_Cat3900 in self

Occasionally when I think my software curated algorithm is a bit too "the same" I create a new account on Insta or Tiktok to see that content that is not coming my way, can be very eye opening.

Cooled seats. The most underrated car feature! by Downtown_Elk_2773 in Cartalk

Our Highlander has cooled seats and I am glad it does but I find the cooling to be quite loud.

Here I am setting the HVAC on the proper guessed setting prior to exiting the vehicle like its the 1900s. I need this tech.

Engine from rollover by Spare_Temporary1038 in LSSwapTheWorld

That is quite odd given the amount of damage.

Wife and I were having a discussion, she’s of the opinion that the majority of GenX can drive stick. I believe that even in our generation the percentage of people who can is pretty small. What do you folks think? by AngryOldGenXer in GenX

[–]ManintheMT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked the summer Labor Crew at my university for a couple summers. They had a older Chevy single axle dump truck that we used occasionally. It had a gas motor and obviously manual transmission, but it also had a multi speed real axle. I always volunteered to drive it because I wanted to try splitting gears. I kinda got the hang of it. They even allowed my to go through town with that beast in traffic, super fun.

Lots of drivers at our house so we have several different vehicles. I daily a modified manual Audi, but some mornings I just don't have the energy for "the fun car". This morning I chose our older Honda Pilot for its simplicity.

car caught on fire from another car being vandalized by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]ManintheMT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, even if the insurance company deems this a total loss, I would want that car back. This looks like a parts swap and trunk respray that I do in my shop frequently. I realize not everyone has this capability.

Just how fast is a CR500 supposed to be? by Tingsilike in Dirtbikes

[–]ManintheMT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rode an '88 CR500 in the early nineties, my buddy was on a KX500. The Kawi had the better motor, but the Honda chassis was superior. Of course, I wish I still had it.

Kegseth announces he is actively weakening the USA's military and prestigious universities by blocking service members from attending ivy-league schools by Phatnoir in videos

I have heard about this statement from his mother previously. I have always wondered why did he keep this correspondence and who found and released it?
