  1. I didn't know a lot of guys in bands but in the small sample size of my first hand experience the drummers were just low key crushing it. I think girls want to date the singer, but like you said they have other thoughts for the strong sweaty dude with stamina and rhythm.
  2. He could have just stopped at String. If my daughter was to date a guy in a band, I'm most worried about the drummer.
  3. It was summer, the bug was old, and I was a poor high school kid who bought his first car. I also needed that car to get to work and over to friend's houses. Old Bugs have the battery under the rear bench seat Bugs are NOTORIOUS for having rusty floorboards especially under the battery My bug had a full internal roll bar Getting the bench out was a massive pain in the bollocks The first time I went to check the battery and see if it just needed water (does that ever work?) most of the floorboard started pulling up with the battery I knew I needed to get in there with a wire wheel until I hit good metal (lulz), prime, paint, and then screw in aluminum roof flashing so the battery wouldn't drop out the floor. You also need the right battery because if you get a taller one, the metal "springs" under the bench can cross the terminals. So it took me a while to get everything I needed so I could knock it out on a weekend I didn't have work.
  4. Incorrect. My 71 VW barely had a transmission, never mind anything automatic. I spent a month only parking on "hills" because I was too lazy to go buy a new battery.
  5. I get the ergonomics and the fold down stick is a decent idea, but it's just wasted build expense, complexity, and real-estate in my opinion. Chances are that 60% of that transmission tunnel is just molded plastic covering up air. (Also a pet peeve). As my dermatologist can attest, I usually drive with my right hand on the wheel and my left arm on the window sill. My tundra has a "gated" shifter. Next time I'm driving around I'll try to see if my hand rests there at all. I don't think I do that though. If I want to shift my truck, I'll just take the old mechanical analog FJ out and that'll get old after about an hour. I am intrigued how you're accidentally hitting the buttons, but it's hard to visualize where that is on the dash. Do you ever turn on the passenger's seat heater on a road trip... because if you haven't that can be mildly entertaining.
  6. I can out grumpy you on that... There isn't a reason to even have a shift lever. 99% of the new cars that just lever just activates electronic switches anyways. Just put the buttons on the dash and give me like 12 more cupholders to clean out. I mean we had this solved 50yrs ago...
  7. You think they'll care if "we" the US government finds out? I could only imagine they are saying these things because they extracted some value from saying them... Perhaps Macron's recent statements? Perhaps keeping their powder dry for SE Asia/ South China Sea/ Philippines/Taiwan? They are smart enough to see Putin drain his forces to their west and western forces expending $$ and armaments. I think they want Russia's folly to last a long long time and destabilize western resolve/unity. War weariness in the west will weaken Taiwan. But make no mistake, if Russia begins to falter I think you'll see them prop Putin up at the bar and order another round of tanks and arty.
  8. Taking that pledge with a big ol grain of salt
  9. Innocent until proven guilty and all that... but this is somewhat satisfying. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-65270387
  10. 12v pool light stopped working... want to replace the old bulb with LED. Anybody have a recommendation for a replacement? Amazon reviews seem mixed on the few I've checked out.
  11. The only Karaoke I'll attempt is Biz Markie - Just A Friend. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty good... you'll get the whole crowd into it... or die alone on stage there is no in between.
  12. I had countless opportunities to see Metallica back in the day.... mostly invited by girls I knew... young stupid Loco never put 2 & 2 together... talk about regret. furk!

    Led Zeppelin

    My car doesn't get youtube, and if it did my volume goes to 100
  14. Saw them play in Gainesville, it wasn't one of my favorite shows if that helps
  15. Imagine how convenient it would be for the "British" Crown Jewels to be displayed in NY, DC, Tokyo, or GASP New Delhi... so many more people would get to enjoy them! Is that a round about argument for having ~1/2 the Parthenon statues? If so Bra-fucking-vo! I mean that's quite the leap A question I think about occasionally, after 1066 is anything really English? What's left? I mean the French/Norman knights fucking wrecked shop and completely transformed the Island in terms of genetic history, aristocracy, and culture. You know those "English" castles? Built by Normans (in the French tradition) to subjugate/dominate what was left of the English. The Doomsday book details how the country was gutted in a way it would not recover from for hundreds of years. Is England a former French Colony? (Also this is a good way to troll blokes at the pub)
  16. I thought I read somewhere that Ukraine wanted cluster munitions to harvest for drone drops
  17. Commentary and more footage of the Tank & Trench video I posted up thread. Ran out of ammo so they just drug their tank nuts all over the Russian's faces
  18. Now and Zen was a good well produced album. Sounds great on a good stereo... Crank up Ship of Fools. It doesn't suck
