TIL my truck will happily shift through all 4 gears idling in drive with the tires off the ground. It also feels sketchy as berk when it does it.

I drove a 302 Miata today for the first time, so I would tend to agree.

The first time I saw that movie, I laughed so very hard... It is still funny, but doesn't hold up as well as I thought it would.

It wasn't actually today, but a few days ago I learned how diesel fuel (or probably any petroleum product) spilled on a roadway is extremely dangerous for two wheeled vehicles. One more reason to hate truck drivers. Keep your damn liquids contained properly idiots.

I just learned that over in France, at some place called LeMans, they race large diesel trucks, y'know, the kind that haul large amounts of stuff everywhere and clog up our roads. It's an impressive sight to see.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxSYcW9Wgo8

In reply to Jumper K Balls :

on your next embarrassingly frequent trip to that store, make sure you say goodbye to everyone as you leave, then just kinda hang out right outside the door and listen for the PA.   If they say "Elvis has left the building!" you know they love you.

TIL in Michigan you have to be 21 years old to buy spray paint.  At least at the Home Depot on my side of town you do.

TIL how to use a manual tire changer at the junkyard. I guess we looked confused because one of the employees came over and showed us how to use it. 

 

After that we got pretty good at it. 

 

I'll be honest, I've passed on wheels before in the yard just because I thought I couldn't get the tires off.  I love learning new stuff.

In reply to paranoid_android :

When I went to buy a guy's complete stockhouse of RX-7 parts in southern Indiana, he said that they would call the police on you if you bought acetone in bulk, probably getting stopped by them as you left the store.  Apparently it is important in the crack cocaine making process
.

 

I've bought gallon cans of acetone up here no problem.
