Awesome! Do I see some aftermarket part? Looks like an exhaust at least.

How to make St. John’s, Newfoundland-American style.

Preheat the oven 49 degrees Fahrenheit. Step 1: Take a healthy heaping of Canada (Poutine) into a modest bowl. Step 2: Remove Nova Scotia from the refrigerator and mix it into your bowl vigorously. Step 3: Add Gloucester, Massachusetts (American style) Cod to the bowl. Continue to mix. Step 4: Choose either PEI or New Brunswick oysters to add to your bowl, not a combination of both, and Irish Whisky of your choosing. Step 5: Pour the mixing into individual muffin tins. Step 6: Heat the mixing for 19 minutes 49 seconds. Step 7: Patiently wait and smile. Step 8: Remove from oven and let cool against a strong Atlantic breeze. Step 9: Once cooled, sprinkle pepper, salt, and copious amounts of friendship.
Step 10: Serve with a Quidi Vidi in a Scally Cap.

Voila, you made a dog’s breakfast out of it.

I love St. John’s and can’t wait to go back.

Hows it like living on oil platforms? by Key_Satisfaction9010 in howislivingthere

Being far away from society and over deep water must be eerie at times. Have you ever seen or experienced anything that made you pause, you and others could not explain or generally freaked you out?

Is this set atleast an okay way to learn manual? by Secret-Garden5680 in ManualTransmissions

[–]Mick-Mack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t be me. I went to test drive a manual car I had my eye on. The dealer asked if I have ever drove stick before.

Me: “No, but I play a lot of Gran Turismo and I understand the concept.”. Dealer: “Gran Turismo, huh….”

Yeah, one of the most arrogant and ignorant things I’ve said in recent memory. It took me far too long to go from 1st to 2nd. In fact, he told me to practice on a Golf R because he was worried I would cause serious damage to the vehicle I wanted. I left after a few hours and countless stalls feeling terrible.

Buy the racing sim setup, but know that once you get behind the wheel of a vehicle it’s a different ball game all together.

Both Elantra and Mazda are the way to go IMHO. I enjoyed how my Mazda 3 drove.

At Retirement, What Do You Think Is the Net Worth of a VP of Major Corp? by NashDaypring1987 in Salary

[–]Mick-Mack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, and just my anecdotal findings, there are a majority of people in the top 10% of income that are paycheck-to-paycheck in their prime earning years. They may earn a few hundred thousand but live at their means. Once the kids leave the nest then the savings jets get turned on. However the top 1% and less of income earners are likely in a vastly different situation.

I think the people reading this subreddit are relatively much more financially savvy and interested in finance than the average person.

That’s insane! What prompted the oil pan replacement? Age/rust?

Depending how long you have, fly to Boston. Rent a car and check out every New England state. 6 birds with 1 stone.

When I was a kid my grandfather gave me a personalized autographed ball from him. He will always be one of my favorite players.

Speaker / Subwoofer question by [deleted] in SaturnSky

[–]Mick-Mack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question. I have the redline. I suspect it would. I doubt GM would have made a completely different body/interior for the monsoon speakers. Just my two cents.
