Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Ok so note to self: maybe try to get a job by NDSU lol

 

I really rather stay here tho lol. I have too much of a life down here

I get it, hard to up and move across the country. I only came up from the Minneapolis area, so not a big jump for me. 

 

I got it pretty cheap cuz it needs a little work. My plan is basically to get a renter or two in it, then do the renovations over the next 4-5 years then sell it. I dont really have a desire to become a real landlord, but the housing market in Fargo has seen some pretty over the top growth in the last ten years, so I wouldn't mind making a few bucks off of it.

If i had a job lined up i'd totally be interested. Because unlike @bcredeur97 i have no life. xD 

Then again my debts keep me chained to this country. (Not really i could bolt and not give a fuck. But i'm an honest man) 

Maybe next time when you've become a real estate mogul.

My neibghour has two Vespas . I got a ride on one as a reward from helping him fix it up . Its a comfy ride but it likes to tilt to the right side since the engine weight isnt balanced by anything. 

I've ridden one. But i don't think i remember that particular one being side heavy.

Wish it was that easy . Or at least that manufacturers properly display information about their cases . 

 

Im searching for an ITX case , and i find a perticular one that fits my needs : 200x55x200mm size (LxHxD) . Perfect ! its small , uses a power brick for power and since the thing will run ubuntu ( TS3 / printer server ) its like 15W max under load . 

 

But wait a second , none of the cables are shown only the jack for the power brick on the back of the case . And i cant find a single picture or reference to the internal schematic for the 24pin / 4pin EPS cable .

Wouldn't it use a pico psu?

It seems to have a PCB for that purpose inside it . But there is also a version of the case that is identical but comes with the powerbrick needed . So i wasnt able to find if the non brick variant comes with the PCB or not

What car is this? I'm thinking some sort of triumph but it looks too big to be that lol

 

Also the side pipe makes me think cobra but I don't think it's that... But I've also never seen a cobra with a soft top I don't believe lol and it looks a bit different to me...

Yup. Scooter friendly. 

I'd rock a vespa. If hipsters hadn't ruined them.
