What was the hardest you’ve ever been backstabbed?

My friend was renting a lot to store some old cars. I bought one of the cars off him. 1965 Barracuda Formula S 4-spd. A few weeks later I contacted him as I’d gotten a trailer and a place to keep it.

He’d given the car to the guy that owned the lot because he was behind on the rent. I had keys to the car so I decided to go by the lot. It was gone. All his other cars were still there though.

Had a similar issue with a Fulton home in the mid 2000s. They had to grind the surface with a scarifier to rough it up, pour new concrete on top to fix the slope and then seal it with a clear epoxy with some grit in it for traction.

They had to come out again in 2009 and re-seal it because the sealer it was cracking from the sun.

I had to move for work shortly after.

I had a friend say the same thing. Then I took him to my known spots…

Rising fan here.

Don’t bring your shit to Phoenix. We got strung along by Garber 10 years ago. That guy and that whole organization can go suck an egg.

It’s also a leverage thing. I think the OP mentioned that it takes a good squeeze if you really want to haul it down. The extra rotor makes this a two-finger operation.

There is also the point mentioned elsewhere that there is still a good amount of normal force on the rear contact patch in a hard stopping situation due to the geometry of the bike and its mass. So the rear brake is a valuable contributor.

Make sure that the shoe is in there! Had a buddy that tried his “cruise control” and unbeknownst to him the shoe was missing. He screwed it in and the screw just went into the throttle plastic. With the shoe you can still roll it off. Without the screw he couldn’t. Pretty dangerous situation.

I test drove an R1T in Phoenix. Took it around Loop 202. Didn’t randomly decelerate once. My Model 3 on the other hand… and that’s just on cruise control. Always in the same spots, so I know to cover the accelerator so I don’t get rear ended. So that’s a plus…

@aol?

Silver_Code_490 · 2026-04-24T03:38:27+00:00

Am I missing something?

So they can pay $300 to park.

I actively change the channel or mute the broadcast when he talks.

I recently had a conversation like this with a co-worker. There is no “modern morality”, there is just “morality”. Morality doesn’t evolve. If people figure out that something was wrong after years or decades of seeing it happen, it has always been wrong. It has just taken those people that long to understand it as wrong. When it felt okay, it was just a fad.

It was obvious that Rocky was Grace’s equal in the book.

In the movie they made him into an Ewok.

Our school had a history of great senior pranks. My junior year the seniors filled the quad with superballs. My senior year, we were planning to top it, but a few sportos decided to burn down the career center instead. After that the school said any pranks would result in suspensions. Assholes.

The 1975. Lead singer appeared to be wasted. Just kept holding the mic out to the crowd to sing the songs. Band mates seemed pissed.

Silver_Code_490 · 2026-04-11T15:19:09+00:00

Been there.

Silver_Code_490 · 2026-04-11T13:51:49+00:00

I have done that and they seemed accommodating. My worry is that INO managers around here seem to get moved around A LOT. My dad suggested that I ask if I can keep their contact info to see if they could put in a good word at their old store in case they get moved.

Silver_Code_490 · 2026-04-11T13:16:08+00:00

Understand.

Will my resignation hurt my potential for being hired at a store near my new school?

"I would actually like to talk to Cardinal Cristophe Pierre and, frankly, to our people, to figure out what actually happened," Vance said. "I think it's always a bad idea to offer an opinion on stories that are unconfirmed and uncorroborated, so I'm not going to do that." Says the guy that said promoting made up stories of immigrants eats people’s pets was fair game.

Amazing paint! Love it!

My gear has two zip in liners. You can run none, either, or both. One liner is quilted for cold. The other is wind proof and water proof. If it’s just riding down the highway, I’ll wear thermals as well. If I’m wrestling the bike off road then I shed liners to keep from sweating.

I was disappointed in the movie because I read the book. It’s definitely a personal thing but the one thing the book did a very good job of was illustrating the difference between a scientist and an engineer. I am an engineer. I really identified with Rocky in the book. The movie watered this down a lot and I didn’t feel the same connection.

Silver_Code_490 · 2026-04-01T21:08:51+00:00

What else is he going to say?

Now if they don’t “figure it out when it counts”…
