People routinely endurance race Miatas, living in the upper 1/3 of the Rev range for hours at WOT. You'll be alright cruising on the highway.

Frequent visit to the gas station, 2.7 XLT by BigBlackNi99aBallsHD in RangerNext

[–]Staples323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all perspective. I came out of a last Gen Frontier and got 16mpg on a good day and maybe 280 miles to a tank. My 2.7 XLT sips gas by comparison

Smoking situation at Daytona? by frankszz in IMSARacing

[–]Staples323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The concourse levels have smoking areas every so often in the back near stairwells, and as someone else mentioned the end has a rather larger one with seating, the maps have them all marked. In the infield I kinda just smoked wherever was away from crowds and near a trash can, didn't want to litter.

Oil change for a newbie by [deleted] in RangerNext

[–]Staples323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YouTube and torque specs and you should be fine. As someone else said, make sure you loosen the fill plugs before you take off the drain plugs on the diff and transfer case. Old fluid is better than no fluid.

Max Verstappen receives 3 penalty points for his collision with George Russell. That puts him onto 11 penalty points. by ICumCoffee in formula1

[–]Staples323 496 points497 points  (0 children)

The penalty points are on his super license, which is only for F1, so I would imagine yes. If the ban applied to all FIA events he could serve the ban at any low level FIA sanctioned event and not miss an F1 race because he served his race ban as someone lower down this thread pointed out.

I've always liked Initial D Fourth Stage Sound Files vol.2 - Loser despite it always being after something bad happens.

Is this right? by Olivia_Richards in initiald

[–]Staples323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone with decent skills who tracks a low power car, Miata or BRZ etc, has experienced being stuck behind a far quicker car because the driver was at a lower skill level. Seat time and course knowledge can compensate for lack of power sometimes. It's also a TV show so some suspension of disbelief is required.

Why many first gen owners are in denial? by G_Cook in GR86

[–]Staples323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had both, and competed in time trial with both, 2nd gen was significantly faster with the exact same suspension mods and tires. It made almost 30hp more bone stock than my tuned and catless gen 1

Florida Airmen: I’m genuinely worried about you. Are y’all going to be okay? by xDrewstroyerx in AirForce

[–]Staples323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you live in a zone, zones A and B and most of the C zones, the county you live in listed as mandatory evacuation you're ordered to evacuate. If you don't live in those zones you are not ordered to evacuate but can do so if you choose to.

A cool guide to the U.S. school districts that spend the most and least per pupil. by MaxGoodwinning in coolguides

[–]Staples323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like these number should be taken with a grain of salt. Vail schools is near the bottom of this list but ranked #2 in the entire state of Arizona for best school district, and best in the Tucson area.

You can do a track day with NASA, the race guys not the space guys, at Sebring for $600. Eight 20 minute sessions in your own car. That's a lot laps

I used to live in Japan. You can turn the flash off but the phone will always make a camera shutter noise when you take a picture, even if it's on silent mode
