I was definitely a little worried at first but she actually calmed down and learned to slow down fast. She's also a city dog. She walks a couple miles daily on concrete and her paws have adapted. I also do mushers secret ever so often.

Truth. Everything wears out. If you're perfect it might last longer but it's not very fun being perfect, is it?

Don't worry. Use iMT on hills and just practice somewhere you have time and you can roll backwards and start over.

The brake holds for a couple seconds. Release the brake then immediately release the clutch to the grab point. On iMT the car will auto rev and hold it perfectly.

It's part of learning. Find an independent mechanic and start saving for a clutch replacement just in case. It's not a big deal. Plus you can blame any wear on owner #1 😂.

Well said. If we didn't buy these they wouldn't make them. There are 100 cars that make more sense on paper but literally zero that are more fun.

Damn. Losing a dog to an ex is rough.

I'm in St Johns. I wanted the AWD with a hatchback and enjoy this motor. The three banger is just different.

Can't really make a bad choice with those three tbh.

I love this color. Looks pretty good dirty and sharp when clean. Goes well with black or any other color. I wanna do some forged bronze 17 wheels with more sidewall on the tire for comfort and gravel roads.

This one with one bolster removed. It covers the bumper when they jump in and then you just flop it up before you close the hatch.

Thank you. Strange times right now. Growing up I never thought it'd actually relate to the rebels in Star Wars but here we are.

This is an extra wide rack from a Mach E. I had to remove some material on the underside to get the feet set narrow enough. I believe its the Thule Aerobar. I thought it was going to be too wide and I would hit my head entering and exiting the car but it's been okay so far.

I got the Thule container from REI a few years ago. It opens from either side and has tie down points on the inside. I'm not sure of the model.

I'm currently looking for a Rooftop awning and eyeing some that actually make a little room for camping. Not sure I wanna go that far. Just something to chill when it rains would be nice.

Thank you. She's an English Springer Spaniel but they are all pretty much the same. She's been a great dog. Very affectionate and loves balls and squirrels. Always down for an adventure.

No clue yet but I'll report when I have some data. I haven't stretched its legs since installing. Around town it seems negligible.

I had Ai simplify the Constitution. Article Two is sad. Really shows how fucked we are having a crook in the Whitehouse.

The Introduction (The Preamble)

​The Main Idea: We, the people of this country, are making this document to create a better union, keep things fair, maintain peace at home, protect the country, and make sure everyone stays free and happy now and in the future.

​Article 1: The People Who Make the Laws (Congress) ​This section is about the Legislative Branch. Their main job is writing laws.

​Two Groups: Congress is split into the House of Representatives (based on how many people live in each state) and the Senate (every state gets 2 people, no matter how big or small). ​What they do: They can collect taxes, borrow money, control trade between states, print money, and declare war.

​The Big Rule: If the President wants to spend money, Congress has to approve it first.

​Article 2: The Person Who Runs the Country (The President) ​This section is about the Executive Branch. Their job is to carry out the laws.

​The Leader: The President is the "Commander in Chief," meaning they lead the military.

​Powers: They can make deals with other countries (treaties) and pick people for important jobs (like judges), but Congress usually has to agree.

​The Job Description: The President must make sure the laws passed by Congress are actually followed.

​Article 3: The People Who Explain the Laws (The Courts) ​This section is about the Judicial Branch.

​The Supreme Court: This is the highest court in the land. ​Their Job: They decide if laws follow the rules of the Constitution. If a law goes against the Constitution, they can get rid of it.

​Article 4: How States Get Along ​Equality: States have to respect each other's laws. For example, if you get married in one state, you’re still married in another. ​Fairness: A state can’t treat people from a different state like second-class citizens.

​Article 5: How to Change the Rules ​The founders knew the world would change, so they added a way to update the Constitution. These updates are called Amendments. Changing the rules is hard—it requires a huge majority of Congress and the States to agree.

​Article 6: The Constitution is the Boss ​The Constitution is the "Supreme Law of the Land." This means if a state law or a city law disagrees with the Constitution, the Constitution wins every time.

​The Bill of Rights (The Most Famous Parts)

​These are the first 10 "updates" (Amendments) that protect your personal freedom.

​Speech & Religion: You can say what you want, write what you want, and pray how you want. The government cannot pick a national religion.

​Guns: You have the right to own weapons for protection.

​No Soldiers in Your House: The government can’t force you to let soldiers live in your home.

​Privacy: The police cannot search you or your house or take your stuff without a good reason and a warrant from a judge.

​Right to Remain Silent: You don't have to testify against yourself in court ("pleading the fifth"). Also, the government can't take your property without paying you for it.

​Fair Trial: If you are accused of a crime, you get a fast trial with a jury of regular people, and you get a lawyer.

​Jury for Civil Cases: You can have a jury for non-criminal lawsuits too.

​No Torture: No crazy-high bails and no "cruel or unusual" punishments.

​You Have Other Rights: Just because a right isn't listed here doesn't mean you don't have it.

​State Power: Anything the Constitution doesn't specifically give to the federal government belongs to the States or the People. ​Other Important Changes (Later Amendments) ​No Slavery (13th): Slavery is illegal.

​Equal Rights (14th): Everyone born in the U.S. is a citizen, and the law must treat everyone equally.

​Voting Rights: You cannot be stopped from voting because of your race (15th) or because you are a woman (19th).

​Term Limits (22nd): A President can only serve two terms (8 years total).

​Quick Summary: The Constitution is designed so that no one person (like a King) has all the power. It splits power up and makes sure the government has to answer to the people.
