    i got into biking for a hot second because my late wife was into biking. 
    i completely rebuilt/restored/modified three bikes, all of which I got for free. (old bikes people were giving away)
    some old chinese steel frame knock-off thing for her to ride. (blue one) 
    a schwinn twinn that i inherited from my grandparents for us both to ride (yellow one)
    a cheap mongoose hybrid steel frame from the 90s that i turned into a cyclocross style bike. (couldnt find a picture)
    i stopped riding because of numb feet and threat of personal harm to man bits. i do really enjoy it though, and thought cyclocross might become a hobby.

    if you build a stadium in a toilet bowl, even if its made of solid gold, you still have to wade through shit to get to it.

    also a warning:  that door is just about the most insecure door you could have.  glass panes near the door handle are a target for thieves. someone can in that door in about 2 seconds. i installed sheet of lexan on the inside of a door like this in the past because it is nearly shatter/impact proof. the deadbolt is also in a very narrow piece of wood since the glass lite is right next to it. it could easily be kicked in without reinforcement.

    "I hereby attest to telling my friend @Achman that, due to my being deep in a “House” marathon (“everybody lies”), it would be funny if I ended the story that way even though I DID believe him, and that he DID actually say “I’ll take one for the team.” :^)"
    what? yup, business as usual with the useless posts and trolls.

    i will still be car hobbying, just on a limited basis. an engine tune or set of wheels here or there. but one vehicle for me only. i've been driving the volvo a lot even in the summer,  sometimes even choosing it over the e30 for the turbo noises.  
    thanks! 
    sane = overly pragmatic.  i try not to cross the line from sensible to boring, but i definitely do sometimes, lol.  
    I get more joy from the home projects since it makes two people happy (me and the wife) and more people get to enjoy it (friends and family). plus, hobby time all year means a nice, warm, well lit, indoor shop space.

    well the journey of this car will be wrapping up next year. as i pull the car into the garage for the season, it's with the intent to fix a couple things over the winter and post it for sale in the spring.  wanted to say it out loud to help make the idea real.
    I'm finding myself drawn to other hobbies instead of the car. Also, I'm getting weary of maintaining 1 bazillion motorized appliances. The list has grown and needs to shrink somewhere.

    my guess is that its designed for Karens. If a Karen's BMW jerks or stutters or bogs or do anything unordinary, they are going straight to the dealership to demand to know whats wrong. They dont know how to properly apply throttle, so this nanny was applied. Comfort Throttle Mod

    the grill/ugly appearance should be talked about. i think what's terrible is that people will excuse how bad it looks because of how well it performs. it IS possible to have both.
