Carplay in the beater is nice. My 2002 Acura feels great with it. Gonna drive it into the ground. Atoto makes an okay head unit for the cost.

I think I squeezed a few more years out of my girls Camry by adding a backup camera for her. Not too expensive, $150 bucks maybe…

May you beat your beater for many miles!

My buddies company shuffles chips around the west coast, some deliveries are a few million dollars. They shove the chips into the truck, then shove a giant movable wall, leaving about an inch or two gap around the perimeter.

The truck has multiple drivers and private security.

I’m kinda surprised that more people don’t have this keyboard. It’s pretty expensive I guess.

My buddy and I did a California BAR swap of a k20a2 into a civic EG. The things a ripper.

We also had to bring over all the emission EVAP stuff, for the evap on the RSX tank (plastic irrc) we bought a new EG tank and welded all the necessary fittings to get it to work.

Very engaging car to drive.

for me its the outside angle between my wrist and my forearm. When I any of my splits it removes the angle entirely, and the pain for me is gone.

At least we have the knowledge (and introspection) to work towards stopping this behavior.

I ended up copying Steph's layouts, I added some Github actions that pipe out files that have specific tags in them and create blog posts in another repo. It works very well for me.
