    Bubbleawesome, I see your signature says you FOLD here. Anything entirely organized? I'm a free agent dripping power like a leaky seal.

    great, I have a completely ruined/flat rear tire. As I was driving home from work, somehow a pair of office scissors found their way into my tire, and when I when I say into, I mean into my tire. All that you could see of the scissors before I pulled them out was the handle. The blade was in my tire a good 4 inches.

    now I have to use the stupid looking tiny donut wheel and tire till i get a new tire

    I thought they had full spares? Or is that just Crown Vics?

    Space savers are gay.

    Fullsize spares FTW

    Also, I just bought a police interceptor badge on Amazon because I needed a few more bucks for free shipping.
    I have no idea what I'm gonna do with it.

    Optional full-size spare.
    All police interceptors came with full spares, but it was just an option on Towncar/Grand Marquis/Crown Vic lx.
    The one pictured would be up on the shelf, but some idiot took it out at one point and, by the looks of it, ran it under inflated for a while.
    The bracket thing that holds it in place is nowhere to be seen.

    I wore my stronger pair of thrift store eyeglasses today when I at the zone with my best friend Obershnider. The glasses I guess were about -7 diopters. I could see very well in them. I played skeeball and the big bass fish luck game. Plus I went to the bar at The Zone and got 2 glasses of coca cola on tap and chicken tenders.

    I thought I got a crappy 4670k when I got it, but I think my cooler might be the problem. I got new fans today, and set up a new system and now p95 is only hitting the high 70s. Used to love to hit the high 90s. Going to leave it for a little and see.

    Woke up hallucinating (nothing new to me). What did I hallucinate? I hallucinated that my blanket 'exploded', it literally just got larger and larger until I realized what was going on.

    More blanket is better. No exceptions.

    Being a person with over 70 euros worth of CSGO items, i get that pretty frequently. Alredy got like, a dozen.
    Luckily i run linux so that is basically no harm possible for me, even if i ran it through wine.

    fullsize spares you don't see and don't consume your trunk space are the best.

    My car should have a fullsize spare from factory. For some reason its gone AWOL and I have a pre-facelift corsa spare which on a facelift model is not full size (its about 3% smaller and I think is the same width so is fine traction wise and only a minute difference in rolling speeds).


    Never put a non full size spare on the drive wheels of a car. Correct procedure in that scenario would be to put it on a non drive wheel and then put the non drivewheel in place of the flat. So rwd vic, spare on front only and swap a front wheel to the back to replace dodgy one.
    Can probably get away with the ones that have barely any size difference like mine.

    While I certainly question the sensibility of drinking Listerene, I have long thought that both the idea that alcohol kills brain cells and, in turn, the idea of brain tissue never growing back were urban legends. Like the life choices version of the faux association between masturbation and blindness.

    Did you by any chance buy your blanket from Orville Redenbacher?

    Ethanol and brain cells, not much happens. Methanol and quite a few other alcohols (listerine isn't just ethanol) do cause some damage within the body though.

    Ever heard the one about fake vodka making you blind? Not urban legend. Fake vodka often contains many alcohols you'd never think of drinking (including methanol actually) which do damage the optic nerve and retina.

    I wonder why all cars can't do that. It'd probably work out at an extra £10 per car to draw the steel an extra couple of inches deeper.

    It doesn't consume much of your space when it's in the right place. Sits up on the trunk shelf.
    The space gained by not having a false bottom in the trunk is much more than having a wheel tucked up in the trunk.

    That being said, Ford did offer a false bottom type thing that sits in the trunk as a factory option. I'd like to get one so there's a dedicated space to keep whatever materials you'll need in a mechanical emergency. A quart of motor oil, anti freeze, set of wrenches, etc.
    They're extremely hard to come by, and when you do find one they go for an arm and a leg.

    That beauty of a boot could hold an arm and a leg. You could always build your own false out of some carpet, light particle board, and gorilla glue. Sure it wont be stock, but it'd be custom for what you want.
    I'd never think that engine block would evaporate some of its oil.
