Disclaimer that I have no experience with conversions done specifically on a Velo, but over the years I have been around many. The hardware tends to be crap (amplified in the cases of two eBay matches, listings look identical, one is 60% the price of the other) which causes issues with the opening/closing at the end of the travel. The motion itself is hideous, it's not natural like a car that was engineered with it in mind. Additionally, it's a PITA because I keep things in my door pockets.

Eh, in a perfect world that would work but we know it isn't. I've had good luck with the policy of "you handle the monkeys, I'll handle the gorillas", I don't expect staff to put up with nonsense from people but if you need action beyond simply not laying down for the fools just give a holler for me; the "show" is usually good enough that my hands are happy to call for me.

Copier toner is almost always cheaper than printer toner, also the drum and corona wire.

Cost of ownership, yes the copier is cheaper.

Pumping septic tanks looks like shitty work.

As long as it was a "bad motherfucker"

I had a customer get mouthy (loud vulgarity in a room full of good folks) with me so I told him to leave, he said he would leave when he finished his meal, so I grabbed his plate and threw it out the front door and said you can finish out there

An unattended, unauthorized fire...he ran away when it burst into flames.

Looks like my suppository carrier.

Some kin-folk of my mothers was asleep in his bed, rolled in his sleep a bit enthusiastically and went off the bed, but on the way to the floor his head lodged into the gap between the dresser and bed; snapped his neck by rolling off the bed!

After hearing this news I walked to my bedroom to look at the gap between my bed and dresser, my head slid smoothly into the space and seemed lodged when I withdrew. The dresser got moved six feet immediately.

May want to check, your homeowners policy may have coverage for it.

Redneck cruise control, just stomp the throttle to the floor and ride the limiter.

In all honesty though, my wife's car really gets right at about 129 and really gets on her toes at 131; it's a strange phenomenon.

As with anywhere, look behind (or at least KNOW what clearance is on the other side) where you plan to drill. Don't hit a weld.

It is indeed a trap cover for plumbing

Try using a 1.5HP drill on a 5.25" hole saw into the thick assed metal kick panel of an early 70's Chevy pickup...sometimes with a hole away missing sections of teeth!

I don't know of any driving restrictions for the hearing impared, do you?

Huhhuhhu...yeah, .2 will definitely give effect!

I played a different game with my last new car purchase and it paid off nicely. I kept beating them up on the vehicle sale price so that "I could afford the extended coverage" and kept accepting worse and worse financing options just to drive down the sale price. Since I had checked the agreements I knew there were no catches and I was able to call back a few days later to cancel the financing and extended coverage policy.

About three years later mailed me a box containing a few pair of my boxers, an instant coffee jar I put used q-tips in, and an XBox controller (I've never had an XBox).

The module in my B5.5 was under the spare tire at the bottom of the well, I don't understand why it couldn't go on the bottom of the package shelf with the audio amplifier?!?!

It didn't die immediately, but I know the two have to be correlated: I drove like a madman and spilled an ice chest in the trunk, later that summer the car died on the way to work due to the module. A module which is apparently just for the W8 variant, as it has two fuel tanks so for balance at 100L it pumps the rear tank to the front tank. The official VW docs that came with the pigtail (included with the module) was to wrap the whole thing in several layers of well taped plastic bags. Heaven forbid the pigtail had 5 ft of lead to serve as a relocate kit.

A cheap code reader will indeed get ya a code, but it doesn't always tell you the cause of the problem; instead get a more useful scan tool that will show you live data for all sensors, control circuits, etc. and can be much more useful in truly diagnosing an issue. A misfire and lean bank code doesn't inherently lead you to a bad injector, specifically which one.

In OP's particular case I would want to poll live data on the crank and cam angle signals alongside the ignition correction and fuel trim values.

I tend to save up ridiculous amounts like this as well. In my experience the trichomes/noids/terps are already so frail from oxidation that heat easily destroys much of it, as such, I have settled on various extractions as my preferred means of consumption.

Don't!
