      I know every word to Dr. Dre’s removed Niggaz, but you have to be in my car to experience it. I’m not breaking that out at karaoke.

    For those of you driving stick: Don’t rest your hand on the stick, it wears out the synchro rings. Also when standing still, don’t keep it in gear with the clutch pushed down, that wears out parts of the clutch assembly. Just put it in neutral and release the clutch.

    I don’t know if this is actually true, but my mechanic friends keep banging on about it. In my experience other parts of the car wear out much faster. And most people don’t keep cars around more than 5 years. My own car is 11 years old and we have done SO many repairs on that thing. My girlfriend’s car is over 30 years old tho, we’ve kept that thing in tip top condition. It’s much simpler than my car so repairs are fast and cheap. It’s a Toyota so it should be good for 20 years to come.

      Another great way to preserve the life of your clutch is to walk to the store. _

      Yes, if you ever replace your clutch and forget to put in the clutch bearing, you can hear how much of a difference is made by touching any part of your transmission controls.

      Also, be gentle with your clutch pedal. If you break your clutch fork, you’ll possibly be unable to shift at all, or you’ll only be able to engage the clutch by manually lifting the pedal with your foot. If this happens and you have an adjustable clutch, you’ll find yourself shifting by navigating the longest clutch throw known to any consumer vehicle and end up with the world’s beefiest left leg.

    I always get a chuckle when I’m listening to 2Pac on the train to work, because I am a nerdy white dude, and if people knew what I was listening to they’d laugh.

    When it comes to dyspepsia and unseemly bloating, there’s no such thing as halfway crooks

      As opposed to what? The number of places that have a store that sells Pepto-Bismol is far higher than the number of places that can afford public transit.

      The hell you talking about.

      I have a car but I also walk most places. If I want to take my car to the end of the street I think it’s my right. Only got a car at age 40. Previous 18 months to that I had a 3-4 hour each way commute to work. Sick of you lot shaming cars when some people make efforts to be environmentally friendly whilst balancing the need for a fucking vehicle.

      Yeah delivery is great especially when you don’t feel good. I can get otc tummy pills to door in less than 2h usually, and most scripts within 24, but sometimes need it sooner.
