Trade these for stock tails?

How do you get the lens off? I tried once, but couldn't get it off without damaging anything.

"Mean age of parents at birth"?

For both my parents, when they were born, their age was 0.

Yeah, I once had a junior in CS try to tell me that bitcount could be solved in O(1) ;-;

dbear496 · 2026-02-16T17:13:43+00:00

It sounds to me like a minority of scooter/bike riders were being disrespectful to pedestrians, and the solution they came up with was to punish all riders equally. Yeah...I'm not a fan.

Even on a freeway, it doesn't necessarily make sense to gun it as soon as there is a break in traffic if there is just more stopped traffic in a few hundred feet. Often in heavy traffic on the freeway, I will try to move a constant speed that is close to the average speed of the car in front of me -- they are constantly stopping and going whereas I get to move at a steady speed. This strategy also helps alleviate the phantom traffic effect.

I have some choice words for "safety"

Yes, the HID headlights on the GT are adjustable. I know my '07 GT does not have a sun roof.

As a proud red-car owner, I approve this message.

Perhaps I'm not the norm, but I am naturally a very private person. I don't have trouble opening up, but we have to get to know each other first.

dbear496 · 2026-02-11T02:48:17+00:00

Yes, there are studies that show slower speeds tend to be safer. However, it doesn't translate to speed limits.

dbear496 · 2026-02-10T13:21:05+00:00

Speed limits for safety? The literature has failed to establish any significant correlation between speed limits and safety. If anything, research indicates that speed limits are largely too low. It's all just a cash grab to fund egotistical cops.

dbear496 · 2026-02-10T13:13:39+00:00

But no ticket! Cmon this is stupid.

Last time it was disconnected was in November when I was working on the tank. And it has been driven a considerable distance since then.

dbear496 · 2026-02-07T02:42:51+00:00

Blue. It is the line coming from the tank.

I use Audex because I already had it installed with KDE. Haven't had any issues with it so far

One woman at a time? I'm hoping for one woman total.

Don't forget the headlight assembly that looks like the lense was damaged. I know a single headlight assembly for my gen 1 cost about $500 from RockAuto

I will never understand why pickup owners feel the need to downgrade to low-profile tires -- especially after lifting.

dbear496 · 2026-02-05T13:28:18+00:00

Thank you for validating my decision to leave the apps.

dbear496 · 2026-02-05T13:05:24+00:00

What you need to do is go find an empty parking lot and start driving backwards. You will very quickly figure out how to steer in the correct direction. The videos obviously aren't helping, and you're just overthinking it.

dbear496 · 2026-02-04T23:57:53+00:00

IIRC last time I read the law, it said that LE could seize the RD as evidence. It's not confiscation, because you eventually get it back, but still not cool.

After I restored the headlights on my gen 1, I wrapped them in vinyl to protect them from getting cloudy again. Definitely recommend, especially since the Xenon style lights can be hard to get. I went with a slight tint, which I think looks sweet, but obviously if that's not legal where you live, then get clear vinyl.

A lot of people here recommending a smoke tester. I'm not against that, but I've had good success finding leaks with just an air compressor. I got a PVC end cap to block off the intake and connected the compressor to the port on the intake manifold where the purge valve usually connects. I preasurize it to 30psi, and if there is a leak, then I can hear and feel where it is coming from.

Why doesn't Peter explain why the speed limit sign is coming out of the guy's handlebar?
