It was well known in my hometown that you could make it through the downtown stretch without hitting a red light if you went 10 over. If you went the speed limit, you'd hit the last light as they were all timed together. Spectacularly annoying.
Ours revert to the sensor in the pavement between 2100 and 0700 iirc. Also in WA and maybe other places if you’re at a red light and there’s no traffic you can treat it as a stop signQuote:

I got friends that are diesel tuners but not coal rollers. In their defense, they are mostly excavators that use their trucks at work, and pull heavy at altitude.
Winter is here and the posers are getting spit out left and right. Its a not so subtle difference of actually walking the walk. I went sledding last week. We were the only open trailer, dirty stock truck outfit in the lot. But we say no one and had the most fun. At the end of the day everyone else was bitching that the trail wasn't groomed, something wasn't right with their sled and so on.
FIFYQuote:

This applies to rolling coal and many other things. It seems like just being a blatant asshole has gotten a lot more popular.Quote:

Then there is braking distances, accommodating pedestrians, bikers, etc. Some streets could be raised, sure. But I could give a shit less about that brainwashed "I'm in a rush and very important' game that everyone here plays and nobody wins, ha.Quote:

Fucking work. I've been out on worker's comp for six weeks and just started back (one short day) on light duty.
"Did you do this yet?"
No, mother fucker I have not.
Oh - check engine light. Head to the auto parts store to borrow an OBD-II code reader. It spits out code for "slight evap leak." Internet says probably gas cap going bad. Go back in to return reader and buy a gas cap.
Head back out to the vehicle and pop the door - there's no cap at all. :rolleyes2 Now to find which kid last put gas in the truck. :mad:
The answer is right there. If I just finished four days of 12 hour shifts, living out of a suitcase, and got in so late each night that I missed Four Jacks and a Jill at the airport Ramada, work is literally the last thing I want to talk or even think about.Quote:

And most of it is routine and boring, but also once you've heard about one compressor stall and an emergency landing, they're all the same.Quote:

Grumpie's diesel ( ford specialists ) always shows on my FB for some reason and he does a vid about all those mods from and increased milage perspective with a cocktail napkin calculation as to why it doesnt really pay off and then he tells us the only way to increase milage isQuote:

Ha! That's a good one. My old pilots used to talk shop 24/7. At least they were damn good at their job so that's all that mattered. The guys that used to fly fighters off of aircraft carriers then transitioned to heavies and flew Delta in the civilian world always cracked me up. Was like "Top Gun: The Later Years." Always aced the aerial refuels like it was nothing tho.Quote:
