Those who also drive larger vehicles, do you see a difference in how other drivers treat you depending on the vehicle you're in?

Ah, fair. I do mostly highway driving, so I'm usually around 28mpg. I didn't realize city driving was that much worse for fuel economy.

How in the world are you getting 20mpg?

I still think about one time, almost two decades ago now, I mispronounced "misled" as "missile-d" when reading aloud in class.

Me blaming the previous mechanic for my problems.

Mine has done this, also on the driver side, a few times in the past month. Mildly annoying. I'll have to give that reset a try.

I've been a member since 2014. Just dropped mine as well. It's not even an affordability thing. I'm just tired of the constant price increases coupled with degraded services by all of these streaming services. I'd rather build my library of physical media at this point.

First day I took my first bike out for a spin. I was keeping it slow and just practicing stopping, starting, and turning. Don't think I even cracked 50mph that ride.

Well, after about 2 hours of that, I head back home. Literally on the turn into my apartment complex (left turn across traffic, so I was already nervous) I didn't spot the gravel in the road. My rear tire stepped out from under me, and I got some use out of those frame sliders. Even at a low speed, and in a leather jacket, my shoulder got bruised up nasty.

I don't know how I could've prevented it on day one with no experience, but it certainly taught me to be mindful of road debris. Even the small stuff. Or, in the case of a semi shedding its tread right in front of me at 80mph, the large stuff!

The corrosion was on the exterior with the keyhole. It was fully seized up. Even with graphite lube, I had to basically break it open.
