Can't get this song out of my head. Super catchy. Loving the music video too.

I hear ya, gravity. One of my goals in life is to have my own shop with a lift and pretty much all the tools short of an alignment rack.

So sorry to hear that, Harry. Your mom's rad. We'll be rooting for a speedy recovery and return home.

Perhaps some parents' issue is less the substances in and of themselves, but more the fact that their kids may be turning into douche flute sucking dorks.

I think I might be way more annoyed if I...

From the tech's perspective, I get that. However from a long term business perspective, it's also short sighted. If a shop can't prove their worth on helping me out on some of the smaller, less...

Pins lubed up well I'm sure? Maybe open em up, push the pistons all the way in, then do a full reset on them. I'm sure they're well bled too, right?

Gotcha. Will have to brainstorm that one a bit. Go test drive the Outback and see what you think. I think they're pretty good too, but might also feel like a tin can coming from an Audi. They're...

If you're used to an Audi interior, handling, and overall feel, it's going to be REALLY hard to transition to a Toyota.

Not quite. I wish it was as simple as not using the apps, but unfortunately these "influencer" dorks, TikTok dweebs, and InstaHoes are EVERYWHERE. You can't go to a beach, a trail, or anywhere...
