Still on the table are:
- Ethanol - More of a pain in the ass, but it adds a lot of power and I have the maps for it. My BMW neighbor runs it in his car all summer.
- $500 high pressure fuel pump....

I can't claim to understand it all. My understanding is the extra line pressure reduces unwanted wear from slipping. They say "improves overall driveability and longevity".
There are modes I can...

That is cool. If I was invested in Milwaukee batteries, I'd get it. :)

It's 65ft. Only $188. It's the 'giraffe' brand, which I've read is dog shit for their packaged wall pressure washer units. But this hose should be good enough.

For pressure loss, that is caused by...

Still LOVE this car. I finally got launch control figured out. It was kind of face-melting, no delay. I bet I can go from 4.0 to 3.8 0-60 now. I'll test it. Hope to get the 60ft from 1.85 to 1.75 on...

I think the tire inflator above is plug in, if it's like mine. You set the pressure and it auto-offs.
I've never tried the battery powered ones. I'd imagine they're great for bike tires, but slow...

I have that tire inflater. It's great!

I like my pressure washer so far, so I'm doing a wall mount deal in the garage to avoid carrying the unit around when I'm washing my car.

And this...

Art. You’ve posted fast art. Love the ass.

Black, then spray it with bedliner. It'll stay black and won't get blown away.

At the hose outlet, more pressure going into the sprinkler equals more flow and more distance coming out of the sprinkler.
I'm def over sciencing it and it doesn't matter for most ppl. :)

For anyone interested, I found some GPM facts for different hose sizes. I have 70psi pressure at my house (while flowing).

Flow results at 70psi hose inlet pressure:
1/2" 100ft hose - 9 GPM
5/8"...

I like that place. And the location. It'd be a haven for kids as-is haha, or the ultimate 2,800sqft car showroom/man cave. Too bad there's only 1 current enclosed garage spot.

1/2 hose I see.

I just got this 5/8 hose one (more flow), for $179 on sale. I suspect the quality on the unit above is better, but we'll see how mine works. I'm actually mounting it inside the...

Pressure washer. Claims 2gpm. Free shipping from the US. Hope to make some foam!...

More. Took the C10 out for the first drive of 2024. Found a jazz club in the SW (Mahogany). Even had a blind singer (actually), so I knew it was legit.

Yea. They’re gonna tune it up. Apparently they worked on it 10+ yrs ago.
For my bmw lowering, it’s the fender gap I don’t like. I’ll get a taller sidewall on my next tire.

It’s the x3 I wish were lower. Actually I love the c10 to be lower too but bags seem like a pita.

Back to cars we own/drove

My friend let me drive his newly acquired '79 930 today. Bigger turbo, cam, etc. Only 2,600lbs. Took it to World of Wheels today. Just from my butt, I'd say it'd trap...

My 2023 Turbo Freeride 154 is running out of the 2 year warranty this year. These engines are $$$$ to fix, replace, so I'm scared to own it out of warranty.
So a 2025 model is coming in the fall. I...

Did a little winter towing today.

I was lucky to be invited as a driver in the US 24 hours of lemons when I lived in Texas. Sooooo fun.
My Calgary friends caught wind and have been doing a 3 hr dirt version for 7 years or so.

This is a good thing.

POS racecar for Saturday's rally. As team "Shark Week", a tampon will be sailing on the top fin.

I have one. Good value and battery life.

I appreciate that. I ordered a 24 pack of misc sea creature figures to glue everywhere. If I can think of any 3D printed accessories I’ll holler!

I picked up this beauty for $900 last night. It's for a 3 hour derby. Automatic, but only the first 3 gears work. The seller drove it here from Airdrie, so it's somewhat reliable lol. My Subaru Justy...

I like this property. 10 acres is great, and it's all forest. House inside looks good (to me). ~50 min drive to DT (with no traffic) and airport drive is a PITA tho.

As a now-BMW driver, it's part of who I am.

Just a dirty car with a supra motor.

Red tow hooks, FTW.

NOMA 50 Pint Energy Star® Dehumidifier. Product #43-0754-4
$250.

It's fine. I have it drain into my garage sink. It's automatic. I mainly got it bc I have no drain in my garage. My under-car tarp...

I always assumed ppl kept their garages at ~20C, same as in the house. I have a 3 car, 850sqft, 12ft ceilings garage with a gas heater. I added a ceiling fan and dehumidifier. Not that y'all asked. I...

Looking at the uncle weiner link, it looks the exact same. Like exactly. Even the lights, the stake pockets, the dolly mounts, the fenders.

I've logged thousands of km with a traditional sled deck on the back of a pickup. I find it really safe and stable. Lots of grip on the rear tires too, with 1500lbs of weight in the bed. I just can't...

Thanks, that's a good start.
I find their rates to be robbery though, haha. Starts at $37 per tape at Costco. $20 at London drugs down to $17 per for extra tapes. My Mom has like 40+ tapes, that'd...

Hi my folks have a bunch of vhs, digital 8 tapes, and mini-DV tapes they'd like converted to .mp4 files.

Anyone have a suggested service in Calgary that can do this for them?

Thanks

I can affirm this review. Saw it yesterday with family. Super boring. 4 of the 6 of us literally fell asleep.

4x8 aluminum trailer to drag the turbo sled around. I'm def going to get made fun of parking in Revy with this setup.

Bought and assembled this 4x8 ft aluminum trailer to put my sled on.
It folds up, which I love, and tilts.

Added:
- Aluminum decking. Aluminum rivets.
- Sled ski guides.
