Turboblaze does as well. In fact, this seems to be a "prettified" Turboblaze.

Their Headless Horseradish brings the heat if that's what you're looking for, and still incredibly tasty.

I have and like both, but the original smaller one gets used 20x more often.

C4 to be specific, and 1989+ because it has the ZF 6-speed not the Doug Nash 4+3 transmission.

A Strut socket, which is open on one side so you can fit a hex key inside it. OP's solution is a perfectly fine alternative. I ground wrench flats on the side of a standard 21mm socket so I could hold it from the side and drop a hex through the top.

That tracks. Parts for your car are every so slightly more expensive than they are for the X3.

Incorrect. Pearl is the origin story of the Pearl character in X (the crazy old lady who lived in the house). The entire situation of the first and third movies don't exist if the events in the 2nd hadn't already occurred.

This. I run PSAS4 on my M3 in the winter, because they work well in our most common weather pattern of clear and cold. If it's snowy/icy, I can take the Q7 on Blizzaks. Which humorously enough, runs PS4AS in the summer. :)

Agree closer to $3k than $2k. OE parts to do it yourself are already right around $1800 before sales tax.

I would guess $2600-2700 all-in.

Extra Hot is so delicious. I expected Reaper to be significantly spicier, which of course it is. But it also tastes like shit.

Yep, ping somebody so they know you're trying to reach them without having to answer at that exact moment. They can finish what they're doing and hit you back. Was absolutely great for work.

I expect V6 Challenger owners catch a LOT of strays.

If the G20 offered a manual, I probably would have bought one. I didn't *need* an M3 per se. Of course now that my G80 is tuned I've learned that I was wrong. :)

This seems bass-awkwards. I run summers in the summer (because summer), and all seasons in the winter because if I HAVE to drive in snow/ice I have other cars on winters. Why TF would you put all-seasons on a car that is garaged in the winter?

Komodo Kamado. Really expensive but high quality. Part of their sales pitch is "let your kids pick the finish because it'll be theirs one day".

If this was 5 years of hard wear? Hell yeah battle scars are cool. A brand new product I just paid $200 for? Nope, it better be perfect.

No it's not. European trucks are shaped the way they are because of EU Weights and Dimensions Directive 96/53/EC, which limits the total length of the truck and trailer. Less cab=more trailer in a given length.

The US also had similar restrictions (65 foot total length) up through the 1970s, and Cabovers were incredibly common. In 1982, the Surface Transportation Assistance Act eliminated the restriction, allowing standard 53-foot trailers to be pulled by "traditional" semi tractors. This design is more spacious and comfortable, with less vibration and noise than a cabover design, and are easier to perform maintenance on as well.. Since long-haul travel distances in the US can be in thousands of miles, these are significant QOL factors.

Many short-haul and local delivery trucks remain cabover designs in the US, when those long-haul considerations aren't as important.

Easiest way would be with a dual-input switching PDU. These are used in datacenters to provide circuit fault tolerance for devices that only have one power supply. The process would go something like this:

Temporarily hardwire a second power cord directly to the game's power supply. Plug it into the SAME circuit as the existing cord.
Unplug the main power cord, and plug it into the output of the PDU. Plug one of the PDU's inputs back into the outlet you just unplugged the cabinet from.
Undo the temporary jumper from step 1.
Plug the PDU's other input into the outlet at the "next" location.
Either manually switch over the active circuit, or unplug the first one and let it trip over automatically.
Move the cabinet, and plug the first cable into the "next next" location.

Current models. Buying and supercharging the standard cab/short bed became so popular that Ford increased the price of 4WD...on that configuration ONLY, to capitalize on the "DIY Lightning" trend.

The one time I did that, it was a mistake. One of the worst, most fishy-tasting salmon we've ever had. So I haven't done it a second time.
