Litigious.
Going to try to put a guy down tomorrow. Knocked him out on Tues, but now he's back on the stand with a photographic memory whereas he had Alzheimers on Tuesday. Problem is his newly remembered story is so good that it doesn't match his old story.
We'll see how it goes. I'm tired.

OMG it's raining cats and dogs out there!
And just after it started I remembered I'd left the window open on minivan #2 the other day. And I had a battery charging in the garage and a mostly dead battery in the car. I was cursing as I put on a flannel and my rain shell imagining lugging batteries to and fro, and dealing with the PITA side mount terminals because I don't have a ratcheting 8mm end wrench..

Luckily I didn't have to mess with that at all tonight.
It's new battery time anyways, as the two batteries in question are an El cheapo Walmart battery from 2017 and one without a date on it that came with minivan #2 when we bought it about 3 years ago and looks pretty aged.

Did another race tonight. This one was short, like 4.2 miles. Came in 3rd, but ZwiftPower DQ'd me for "W/kg". First time THAT has happened! In fact they DQ'd the first 3, so the guy who came in 4th 'won'. I can't complain, because I've 'won' that way. I guess I should start riding the C races and start hating racing because I'm always getting dropped.

Cheaper to manufacture doesn't translate into cheaper to buy...it translates into higher profit potential.

It's a Porsche. Cheap It will never be. But I agree with your statement anyways. I'd love to stuff a 6.2 litre turbo Cadillac engine and trans in it just for the looks on the purist faces.

It does if they're trying to gain market share.

I don't think this is realistic, or at least not realistic compared to current conditions. I rode a section of the Pacific Coast Highway this past summer, and if this happened today the kid would be road pizza within 30 seconds.

Delco is a place unto itself. This treats it nicely:

The comedian who rote "The Five People You Meet in Wawa" is from Delco. Funny book, at least if you are from these parts.
