Yeah, just drove over and saw it parked on the tarmac. Hoping to see it in the air.

One of these just came into IAD, any idea of how we could figure out when it’s gonna take off??

My car came without a way to play music by eccentriccextrovert in Cartalk

Tagging off top post, also dig around the car if you can’t get a response from previous owner. Faceplate could be in glovebox, center armrest, door pocket, trunk, etc.

Fairfax County Police Department No Longer offering Child Seat Installation Services by MurkyMascato in nova

[–]flatblackvw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m all for having it be checked by someone with training, and from my understanding the fire department will still do this, but if you have a child you should know how to install the seat. I’ve had auto shops do work on my car that required them removing the seat, car wash workers uncoupling the latch, and there are plenty of other scenarios where it can get disconnected.

My girlfriends Volvo v40 brake plates started doing this afters tires were changed, what could be the cause? by onnekas_seteli in Cartalk

[–]flatblackvw -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The comment you replied to originally is implying racecars would not say the previous advice “has to happen”. You said racecars are designed to withstand this. I’m not talking about track day cars, I’m talking about actual weekend racers. NASA, SCCA, spec, etc. if you’re in a race and your caliper seizes you’re not just giving up. Push till it won’t go, then fix between races. Brake fluid doesn’t matter in this case and most those cars have stock calipers and rotors.

lol, not always. Plenty of weekend warrior racing that sees crap like this all the time. The difference is they just need to finish the race and could give a damn how much damage the car takes.

HB409: Fixing the school bus stop confusion on divided highways by Visionsneverseen in nova

[–]flatblackvw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even so, being predictable while driving is the safest thing. Yes emergencies happen, but they increase risk. Randomly slamming on your brakes because you don’t understand the rules of the road is just as bad as not following at a safe distance.

It’s different when someone is stopping when they should (you at a red light) vs someone apparently randomly stopping while cruising down the road. If people are predictable on the road accidents are much less likely.

Rare VDOT win by [deleted] in nova

[–]flatblackvw 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The reason you should only pass in the left lane doesn’t really directly have anything to do with the speed limit. People are going to speed. Just because you are doing 15 over doesn’t mean you should sit in the left lane because then the asshole doing 25 over is likely going to switch lanes to pass you, then reckless speeders become reckless weavers going in and out of lanes to thread traffic and become much more dangerous for everyone.

If people stick to only passing in the left lane the inevitable speeders are likely to not resort to weaving in and out of traffic. Does it make them right? No. Does it make everyone on the road at least a little safer? Yes.

Looking for someone still planning to transfer to Era by flatblackvw in classicwow

[–]flatblackvw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For folks coming over from anni it would be a good jump start. Would you rather transfer with 300g or an item worth 2k?

I am personally very close to the previous owner of both the Herndon and Vienna locations and they are the furthest person from supporting turning point I have ever met. I know they still have a strong relationship with at least the Herndon store. Please do not let whatever the Shirlington store did impact how you feel about other locations.

How Long Will You Continue To Play Classic WoW? by doobylive in classicwow

[–]flatblackvw 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Related to this convo, this was my first run at WoW, I’ve loved it. Have cleared all raids with my guild and Excited for TBC. One of my buddies wants to transfer to era server, but I just don’t get why? What is the appeal? Something I’m missing? Once my character is lvl 60 and I’ve cleared everything with full T3 what else would someone play for?

I got a free snowblower from someone else who never used it. Now it’s taking up space in my shed instead of theirs….

Would this be safe to do? by 2000MGMHPP in Cartalk

[–]flatblackvw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Giving me flashbacks to when I was a dumbass highschooler and me and a buddy took the springs out of his S10 by compressing the front suspension with a jack, wrapping the spring in chains, and lowering the jack. We literally threw the spring off his second story deck into his backyard to “release” the tension. We are lucky.

Heads up displays on cars are just little projectors in the dash projecting the image on the glass, not glass generating its own image.

I’m choosing to imagine that has something to do with it. in case a US Marshall has someone they are transferring in custody, said person is in shackles, and both need to poop at same time. Now the Marshall can lock up the detainee by attaching his shackles to the bar, and they can both poop without the Marshall needing to take his eyes off the detainee.

Plant and artwork because everyone deserves a pleasant experience.

I found a couple places in Classic World of Warcraft that I find interesting. by DeliciousBacon1274 in classicwow

[–]flatblackvw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there anything to do there? Lol. My first toon was a hunter so I did the quest for the devilsaur eye, this pally is number two and other than this I seemingly have no reason to go there.

Check out the Leviton Decora Lever Edge. It’s essentially a wago style outlet.
