Somehow the TikTok algorithm had put somebody that actually lives on that road that is a car guy and films them (and completely gives away where they live in the process). So if anything there will be even more of these cars/bikes up on Crescent road to rev it going by his place.

Back to the original gear grinder, I do shutdown at the drive-thru order board, since I can barely tell what they’re saying at the best of times, but I’m sure not putting it in park and shutting down 5-10 times as we creep forward to the pickup window. I’m stock, so as quiet as a diesel can be.

I thought those auto-stops were only on gas engines?

My quick google suggested that they were available of diesel engines as well now but sounds like with some options they don’t have it.

Nope. Metric, city and colour etc are just playing silly small shows in a tent on site. So lame. Basically a half size cowboys tent. C'mon, you had the perfect opportunity for a fun, unique outdoor concert experience. You can't be that dumb?
You’d destroy the grass putting a concert on the field. Them wanting real grass and not wanting to share with anyone is why they are out there in the first place.

Pfft. And you call yourself Reaper? More like weak, bee-keeper!!

Soft-ass, woke, liberal, pansy.

It is exactly the right punishment.

And why do motorcycles need to warm up for 45 minutes in the driveway before they can be ridden? At 8:00 am. On a Sunday.

Kill them all.

See. This is the spirit. Good to see Trump's goons haven't silenced you yet. Or are you posting from El Salvador?

1. Why does the plus 15 by Simons always smell like ass?

2. I hate Brookfield with a passion. It’s brighter and hotter than the surface of the ####ing sun. I shouldn’t have to wear welding goggles to walk thru your ####ty building. And turn on the AC you goddamn cheapskates. Or buy some goddamn blinds.

Diagonal walkers crossing a street.

Point to point you f'ing idiots, if you reduce that angle anymore you'll just be walking in the middle of the road.

Also, if I am trying to make turn on a green, the crosswalk is finally clear and you try to start crossing while the countdown has already started, I'm blasting you with the horn and proceeding. What you're doing is illegal, it's not your right of way any more, so sayeth the goddamn law.

Had some dickhead on a scooter fly in front of me like this. I've seen so many of those idiots get creamed by people who had the right of way and then some scooter doing 30 KM/H decides to fly in front of them.
