Right i'm legally not obliged to store the previous tenants stuff anymore so i sent her a message stating that

If she doesn't come pick it up in two weeks i'll build a spectacular bonfire. 

I hate people that do that, enjoy your bonfire more likely than not.

Speaking of foul weather it's been shit in the valley and amazing on the coast. Usually the opposite

Weather here has been generally great lately. Little bit warmer than I prefer during the day for late October but it's cooling down. Mornings and sunsets are awesome though.

If it's not in gear it shouldn't be too hard on anything but if you're in gear you'd be doing the equivalent of dumping the clutch, the car will leap forward and stall. Hard on stuff but shouldn't break anything unless you hit the guy in front of you

so it would stall if it's even gear, even if you have quick reflexes and give it gas?

Not car related. But I'm looking forward to the Overwatch World Cup this weekend.

Your tools are not organized by size or named. So no. You are not

and the hammer is the whackwhack. 

Can you imagine how frustrating it would be for someone if you had actually given your tools people names.

"Could you hand me Geoff, Geordie and Stephen?" 

-"The what!?" 

 

Just imagined someone using a torque wrench to tighten a bolt that doesn't require a torque wrench and the owner going.

"PUT ALAN DOWN!"

I already looked online it was really cheap, I'm 23 and I have a flawless record, it was 56$ a month for liability on the 600cc and smaller bikes were about 40$.

 

I ended up getting a gorgeous 2008 ninja 250 with 6000 miles on it for 1700$.

nice, make sure you get some good gear and have fun riding

Hell no. No. Fuck no. No. Nein. Nej. Non!.

He set it to the needed torque, tightened until the wrench went "click click" retried "click click" *mumbeling about the wrench being broken* and then proceed to set it to its Max torque and jump on it...

hey @vetali quick question

 

let's say i was holding the clutch while the engine is running and the car is moving, and my foot accidentally slips off the clutch pedal, causing the clutch to deactivate. would it cause any damage if my foot accidentally slipped off the clutch, because i'm assuming the clutch plates will smash against each other when you release the clutch pedal suddenly. just asking in case it ever happens.

there is a chance of dislodging a spring and/or separating the clutch inner hub from the outer friction material depending on how hard you drop it and what RPM/how fast you are going.

Kind of want Artis to do a car for me at some point. 

A pattern that isn't quite as deeply stamped in the metal

And then a coat of paint over it. So it would be really subtle. So at first glance it looks like its just been painted. But when you look closer you notice it.

so which way could possibly cause more damage? when you're at a stop and you start off  and rev in order to slide the gear into first, or when you're on the freeway and you pull, and you shift from 4th to 5th at near freeway speeds?
