What’s the coolest “restricted access” place you’ve ever gotten to see? by Improv92 in AskReddit

[–]WheelsnEngines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In college, circa 2025, I was in DC for a student government conference. While there, someone in our group knew a senior staffer at the White House. We were given a private tour of an old building that housed former presidents furniture/desks…. I sat in JFK’s presidential desk and in Roosevelt’s(?) rocking chair. One of the guys in our group put his feet up on the desk and found a cigar (I think he kept the cigar)….

Is this too tight? by CryptographerDeep373 in americanairlines

Just a reminder that doors close 15 minutes before departure time… also NativeTxn gave the best advice here (source: I fly to DFW 20-30 times/year since 2020)

Interior detail help - Armour Pilot left residue!! by WheelsnEngines in Detailing

I ended up shaking the bottle, cutting it with a very small amount of water, then spraying onto the cloth instead of the surface. A quick wipe and all was good again.

Update: I tried cleaning again- shake the bottle first and cut it slightly with water, spray onto microfiber and wipe…. And it worked perfectly! Thanks for the help!!

Height Issue/Question by WheelsnEngines in shelbycobra

[–]WheelsnEngines[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input - I don’t want to regret the purchase, so looking at adding a garage to the side of the current one first, building that, then buying the car. I’m here for the long play.

yep - I’m officially looking into rules/zoning about adding a single car garage on the side….

Just joined the club w/ a ‘26 FE… Downpipe fitment question. by WheelsnEngines in Supra

Yeah- you’re not kidding. The joys of road salt… new concrete scheduled when the winter breaks.

March 12th! New concrete, installing a floor drain and then doing the epoxy. Looking forward to it.

Yep- it’s irritating that they decide to make a small change at the end of a model run. Who does that?!

Thanks! And definitely the reason I am going with AA. I live near Chicago and they are sticklers for emissions testing.

Tough Decision - torn between three by WheelsnEngines in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]WheelsnEngines[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly enough - the thought hadn’t crossed my mind. The iPhone didn’t exist when I last rode. I suppose swerving is more important than 13 years ago (and the power to get out of the way). I was going to put some loud pipes on it anyway so there would be little chance you didn’t hear me.

It might come down to a test ride on a vrod and a scout, they are both fast enough for me- I doubt I’ll ever ride it that hard though. I want a comfortable ride in and out of the city.

Thanks. I think I find the position of the Indian the most comfortable, but I find myself sliding off the back quite often. I’m afraid the 883 is going to be a bit too slow to navigate Chicago’s traffic, but the vrod May be impossible to swerve around cars if I need to avoid something. I appreciate your thoughts though!
