    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    I'm genuinely curious if that post was positive and approving. What were the comments like? NFW I'm signing up to read them.

    Torque wrench suggestions?

    What have you done to your car today?

    I'm starting to think maybe a crack in the fitting. I don't see anything, of course, but it wouldn't take much. The MB parts pictures are maddening for the PS system. There are two part numbers for - apparently - the same part. One is labeled "high-pressure line" and costs $300. The other is an...

    What have you done to your car today?

    I have no idea. Are you thinking that maybe something failed? I found someone on zuckerbook with the exact problem last spring but no follow-up and I have to be approved to post to the group, which is a 50/50 proposition in my experience. Fingers crossed.

    What have you done to your car today?

    Well, this thing continues to piss me off on my daughter's SLK250. I replaced the o-ring and it still leaks. As soon as I start the car, it starts seeping. The manual helpfully suggests "replace o-ring" whenever you pull the line. I'm beginning to wonder if there's another o-ring that gets...

    What have you done to your car today?

    So.... Today I spent some time cleaning the hell out of everything, put some parts back on, then I started up the car and moved the steering wheel back and forth. To my great embarassement, it looks like a $5 o-ring responsible for the leak. Dumbass. I had convinced myself that it was OK.

    Right? She was very excited when we got it.

    What have you done to your car today?

    Not quite yet! She doesn't even have a permit even though she's old enough. Kids... It's a '15 that we picked up from my dad in FL late last summer and road tripped home. My parents gave me a 1984 Chevy Celebrity when I graduated college.

    What have you done to your car today?

    I've been pulling the power steering pump on my daughter's 2015 SLK250 for about 10 days now. :) I stare at it, curse a little, stare at it some more. The engine bay can hold a 5.5L V8 but somehow a 1.8L 4 fills the entire space. My hand is all cut up from loosening the air pipe to the...

    New E-bike legislation in NJ

    That dredged up an old memory. I registered my Fuji with my town police (Hackettstown) when I was a kid. I don't think it was required, it was so I might have a chance of getting it back if it was stolen.

    E-bikes are a thing

    We have a local guy who people were flagging as being on an e-bike when he showed up. He was not, he was simply a beast. I wonder if he got any KOMs pulled.

    Why would they walk? Don't they have an Escalade?

    The Indoor Cyclist's support thread

    For starting, the laptop and HDMI is the easy button. If the laptop has an actual video card, it may even be decent.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    Just gonna leave this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalition_casualties_in_Afghanistan TL;DR; Denmark had almost as many deaths per-capita in Afghanistan as the United States, with the UK just behind.

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    I've probably told this story before. Some of you may know that the Chief of Police in Sea Bright is an enthusiastic rider. He had a pro MTB license back in the day. He was over my house one day (he was a Captain at the time) when a local Middletown officer stopped by to ask about my neighbor's...

    Bring a Trailer - OMFG or On Topic

    Got the BCM wet in my old Volvo V70R. All kinds of random stuff stopped working. The windows being the worst.

    What have you done to your car today?

    They look good to me. I can't find anything that looks/feels loose or worn under the car. It only has 45k miles on it and was garaged until we got it. Worn rear shocks seems crazy too if I'm honest.

    Gas powered bikes?

    And...Norton received. Spent some time with a friend this morning. Lots of minor half-assery but the basics are solid. Starts right up and sounds healthy.
