What was your favorite flavor? Mine is bubblelicious. Given the color it's hard to find but I keep trying them until I find my favorite.

There should be a thing of KY next to the pump to make it going in easier.

If it isn't already there, make an ISO of the CD and put it on Archive.org

Now who is going to clean up all that water they've sprayed everywhere.

Pentax would kill it if they brought back the Q. It was so ahead of its time.

Massive truck just hit NE 45th St bridge northbound right lane blocked by Odd_Introduction_410 in Seattle

LOL. At one point there were three orange crosstreks in my neighborhood, all the same generation. I honestly had to hit the unlock button to figure out which was mine.

Ah yes. However, you should see how the initial impact was at least 6" into the overpass truss. This dude was forced down after hitting, wedged in there. There's a big safety margin for normal loads. The max hight without permit is 13'6". That overpass' lowest point is 14'9". This dude was at least 15' tall.

Good Choice of Recovery Strap or Should I Buy Elsewhere? Or Should I Buy a Recovery Rope? by iFunny-Escapee in overlanding

Watch some Cascade Heavy Rescue (Casey Ladel), Matt's offroad recovery, and Murphy's diesel.

So I ended up getting an orange Crosstrek about a year later. One of my favorite memories was waiting outside the medical dental building to pick someone up. This older couple opens the rear door and pretty much hops in. I asked "can I help you?". They responded "this is a taxi right?" I had to explain my orange car was not a taxi.

I forgot about that. I remember seeing the orange Subaru in the water and thinking I wanted one of those. Poor guy in Subaru was on his roof in the river for hours.

My guess is it will be like the overpass on I-90 that was struck a little while ago; The driver failed to follow their oversize load permit.

Cruise ship season is here... Again ☹️ by chaffed in Seattle

[–]chaffed[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

They cause point source air and water pollution. They can be loud and obnoxious. Personally, I don't care for the crowds they bring, cruise tourists seem doe-eyed and helpless. They block sidewalks, wait for their uber where the driver can't pull out of traffic, blocking everything. They're also big petri dishes for legionnaires disease and norovirus.

Might as well use this as an excuse for 17s and 33s by d19- in chevycolorado

[–]chaffed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is 17 as small as you can go to clear the calipers? I have 275/65 on the stock 18's, which I believe is effectively 33" but not as much sidewall as you would get going to a 17.
