  1. Anybody have first hand experience with the Ford Mach E (electric Mustang crossover)? Thinking about this for my wife’s next vehicle now that the kids are gone. She just drives around suburban Houston and almost never more than 20-30 miles a day. I’m looking for the utility of a straight electric. Don’t like Elon and all his shenanigans, so am not seriously looking at Tesla. Like the idea of the federal rebate. Pros/cons? Seems like an electric fits our mission.
  2. Man, that's not funny and all. Can't imagine drinking a whole "box" of Black Box in one day. The headache the next morning can only be cured by more Black Box. Sorry for that, and the kids' experience.
  3. Ought to go over well.
  4. Old school hub and bulletproof wheel. Work of art really.
  5. FIFY: 83 was an aggy ass whipping. Rick McIvor holla.
  6. There are practical aspects to all the road cycling specific clothing items that once you’ve ridden a good distance over several hours, you will really appreciate those qualities, and you won’t go without after that. And you’ll get over the self consciousness feeling quickly. 90% of amateur road cyclists don’t have a perfectly trim shape like the pros. Nobody cares.
  7. Bookmarking this thread for potential June trip to include Yosemite and an Astros game.
  8. So is Bond a 1- year rental? What's his remaining eligibility? Size-wise seems similar to X Worthy.
  9. Jester has a certain early 60's Soviet architecture vibe (and smell) also.
  10. Sark seems to follow and embody the Saban leadership and accountability style which is great for our program. That’s a great foundation. Lets pay that man.
  11. Baller move. If anyone ever deserved to pull that, it's Saban. I'm sure it wasn't the first time it had been discussed at the AD level. There was probably an understood "let me know when it's time, and we'll be ready" from Greg Byrne.
  12. You think he actually walked out of a meeting in the morning, and into the AD's office after his lunch break and said F-it, I'm done?
  13. All these cheeky quips about missing bolts are funny and all, but I’m really interested to hear the root cause failure in this deal. Like mentioned above, the plugs are a commonly installed item and it’s not likely that the design has changed in decades so it’s unlikely a design flaw. Properly torqued bolts at 100 ft-lbs and improperly torqued bolts at 85 ft-lbs you likely won’t have any issues either, even though the under torqued bolts are “loose”. So back to assembly procedures and oversight by someone, company/contractor division of responsibility, etc. If my subcontractor screws something up in my product it’s still my fault for lack of oversight.
  14. There was an old saying on one of the bike forums: "If you NEED carbon wheels, someone will give them to you."
  15. From a practical standpoint can Alaska Airlines bolt in a new door and put that hull back in service?
  16. Shocking, I know: https://www.nbcnews.com/science/space/nasa-delays-artemis-moon-missions-rcna133126 I just have a feeling that this whole program will never quite happen.
