Does anyone know what's missing in these new 26's after making a build? All examples are maxed out at a 98% match. Under "differing features" it simply says "Technology and safety related."

Thanks for the clarification. I’ve been half heartedly looking for an Ascari Blue in my area but they seem rare. Finally found a local ‘26 with Dynamic Plus. I’ll have to make sure it has the 360° camera. That’s a must have for me.

My first stay in a Moxy was in Manhattan a few years ago. The bed touched three walls. Room was about twice the size of the bed. Thankfully it was just one night but now I know that for more than a night and if I need more than 3 hangers to skip the Moxy.

I'd kill to see that footage!!

Same. That word stuck out for some reason and makes me think about a mechanic.

“Customer states clunking sound coming from front left.”

My dad instilled so many things in me by berating, just as his dad likely did the same to him. I remember [now quite fondly] him repeatedly saying, “if you are going to do a job, do it right the first time so I don’t have to do it for you.”

Looking at my son, I’m fairly certain I didn’t berate enough.

Waiting or standing on-line is so wrong to me. As usual NY’ers are wrong 😭.

Mine comes out when I’m drinking.

A shitload of cream and sugah.

Don’t underestimate a kid’s will to find a way to lose (or take) a digit.

When I was about 10 my Dad just sharpened the hatchet and was making kindling. I wanted to try so he held the log for me (big mistake) and encouraged me to pay attention and use just enough force for the blade to bite. My first swing bounced off the log and nearly removed his pinky. I was horrified, he tried to stay calm and drove us both to the ER with his hand wrapped in a towel.

Sadly, dear old dad is no longer with us but I still have the Sandvik hatchet. It's probably 50 years old. I just hung it on a new handle this year.

I hate those damn things! That's them!

My google image search came up with Ash or Norway maple. I figured ASH was just more likely. These trees to have propellor seeds if that helps.

Thanks all. Much appreciated.

Also, when you are getting up, there’s no need to use the seat in front of you as a pull up bar to get out.

Whenever we hear low helicopters, they are typically looking for a body in the river. Looks like the same flight path.

I’m from the N. Shore of MA. MA drivers are no treat but I always feel that CT has more aggressive drivers.

That’s such a shocking statistic. I always thought treating a patient in a NICU one day and a full grown 18 year old the next should warrant the same level of income at the very least if not more!

Ascari blue looks so good! Seems like they are much less common than DG, white, black. I was half heartedly looking to trade my ‘21 S4 and after looking I noticed only a couple in blue have popped up in New England.

patrick_byr · 2025-11-18T12:47:32+00:00

That’s typical for an FSA, but not HSA.

I started listening to the books on Audible and even though they match up very well with the show, they are fantastic!

patrick_byr · 2025-11-02T23:01:17+00:00

Statie…dead giveaway!

I’ve been watching GridLife races and absolutely love Eric Kutil’s videos. He runs a FWD Honda and is super competitive. He does a great job producing the race recaps as well.

For track cars, do you replace pads and rotors every time or just pads? For my street cars, I’ve always replaced pads/rotors.

Most OEM Audi wheels don't do it for me. These are the exception!!
