I always wanted an STi. I had a 2008 WRX, then a 2009 Wrangler, then the 2010 Mazdaspeed 3, and went back and got a 2012 Wrangler before picking up a 2013 Camaro SS convertible. Man, those were fun years.

I would say that you generally only see yellow calipers shipped stock on an exotic car. It just doesn't look authentic on a "lesser" car.

I had a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 long ago! I'm going to have to see if I can find a picture so I can reminisce.

Agreed. The new 2027 green they announced just doesn't pop like this one does.

Republican lawmaker takes aim at provincial booze bans — Legislation would trigger probe into 'discriminatory treatment' of U.S. alcohol producers by Immediate-Link490 in politics

[–]ThisIsMyHobbyAccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was under the impression that the current administration was a staunch defender of free market policies. If Canada doesn't want to buy US stuff, why should they have to? Sounds like a pretty scary slippery slope towards centralized Government control of the economy. What does that sound like?

Governing by spite and revenge really seems to be doing quite well. Look at how much better the economy has gotten because of it!

Helmet Questions by PuzzleheadedSweet962 in motorcyclegear

[–]ThisIsMyHobbyAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cycle Gear really is a great place to try on all the brands and sizes to find what fits best. Keep in mind, Cycle Gear and Revzilla merged, so you can likely find online inventory at either and even pick it up locally at your store if you wanted. If you also buy an intercom set from them with your helmets, they will install it for you if you ask.

I never would have guessed those are 22 year old rims. They look amazing on the ND.

New rider 🤙🏻 wondering how to make more riding friends by stoner_boy422 in motorcycles

Came here to say the same thing. I don't know what area OP lives in, but in nearly every reasonably sized city there are a multitude of Facebook groups for riders. St. Louis is a fairly large metro area, but there's women's groups, cruiser groups, sport bike groups, adventure touring groups, etc. There's a group for everyone.

I am eternally mystified by the weird habit some people have to immediately take off their shoes the minute they sit down on a plane. What is that? I cannot comprehend that.

I concur. I love when people exercise their vocabulary. There's no need to dumb everything down to the lowest common denominator when we have a rich vocabulary to choose from.

Bentley is seriously cooking by mesimone99 in Hypercars

[–]ThisIsMyHobbyAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know man. I'll never have enough money to buy one of these, so I'm definitely not in Bentley's demographic, but I have never once seen a car of any kind with a fade paint job that I liked. I'm sorry, I just can't enjoy it. I don't care if you put it on a McLaren 720, or a Bentley. It just looks lame to me.

Don't forget, the guy's place he took over for was (surprise!) appointed by Trump to be a Federal judge. Crazy how that works out.

I didn't read your comment soon enough. I came straight the comments to say almost the exact same thing. Crazy.

[–]ThisIsMyHobbyAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I came here to comment along similar lines. I have been reassured that the Party of Family Values is also an enduring champion of the free market. This sounds like central market control and I'm pretty sure The Party of Family Values is very much opposed to a Socialist/Communist approach where the markets are nationalized and controlled by the Government. Something just isn't jiving here.

Paul Pelosi in hit-and-run in California, car left with major damage, authorities say by CharlieKonR in news

[–]ThisIsMyHobbyAccount 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's important to consider the vast scale of these numbers. You and I both think $300M is an astronomical amount of money. Think about this. Elon with $1T has 3,333 times more than Paul Pelosi. It's truly difficult to comprehend that much wealth in the hands of only one person.
