Don’t overlook the basics, like your frying pan or your dinnerware. If you’ve been getting by with hand-me-downs or less-than-stellar pieces for the past few years, you may want to consider overhauling them for shiny new tools.

They said in one of the reveals somewhere that the shifters have been improved for better braking and modulation. I say who has complained, and who really cares because the current levers work just fine. I don’t believe that one. They are using the same hydraulic calipers. I say we demand satisfaction and Sram be held to a higher standard which would mean loyalty to the customer base. They included a USB Dongle in the group package for upgrades, what, now they are just saying screw that idea? I am currious to see what parts of the AXS group can ultimately wind up being compatible. Only time will tell once home mechanics and tinkerers get their hands on it. Obviously Sram isn’t going to tell the truth.

Yea the last thing a prospective owner of one of these cares about are bed features, towing, payload, price, onroad manners/ride/comfort/noise, efficiency, and even to a large extent quality. This is ALL about being different, cool and most of all FUN.

Free-climbing documentary “Free Solo” won the award for best documentary. “It has been an incredible year for non-fiction films and we’re just proud to be a part of it,” said co-producer and co-director Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi. The film is already U.K. documentary specialist Dogwoof’s biggest hit in the market having grossed £1.7 million ($2.1 million) and will enter the all-time top ten highest grossing documentaries in the U.K. this week.

From there, it’s all about flesh detection. The REAXX wins out over SawStop in this category thanks to quicker recovery, a two-shot activation mechanism ($99 per cartridge, $49.50 per shot), and keeping the blade from damage. The initial saws to go out also come with a code to get an extra cartridge for free when you register the REAXX. Like I mentioned earlier, the unknown is still the actual reaction time compared to SawStop.

Spring has sprung. The temperature is rising. And tops are dropping, as convertibles start to emerge from winter hibernation. Take this Fiat 124 Spider Urbana Edition, for instance.

On the performance side, the Colorado is more versatile than the Gladiator and can be equipped with three different engines. The base models use a 2.5L 4-cylinder that develops 200 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque. This is the only engine that can be combined with a 6-speed manual gearbox. A 3.6L (308 hp/275 lb-ft) V6 comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a 2.8L (181 hp/369 lb-ft) diesel engine with brake on exhaust and a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Force-feedback wheels use motors controlled by signals from your chosen racing game to provide realistic physical feedback from the car’s steering. Get into a slide and you’ll be fighting the wheel. Put a tyre on the gravel and you’ll feel the rough ride through your hands. Force-feedback wheels give you a better connection to the car and the track. They even give you a better sense of speed.

The deals you’ll find Monday will be pretty similar to those from Black Friday, so if anything, consider it an extra day to save at all your favorite online retailers — like stores where you can buy everything from TVs and laptops to household supplies and clothes (Amazon, Walmart, Target) to niche specialty shops and startups.

All kidding aside, as far as I understand all configs have “integrated” (i.e. impossible to replace) chainrings. This is for the market that changes bikes when things get worn out.

This post celebrates them all. We celebrate the Porsche restomod shops and their fanatic founders. We applaud every RSR clone and hot-rod 911 and we support people like the R Gruppe, a counter-culture band of hot-rodders in Southern California that builds hot rod Porsches, purists be damned. We stare and smile at RAUH-Welt Begriff (RWB) Porsches, nodding in awe at Akira Nakai’s designs that harken back to many of Porsche’s early race cars with huge power, preposterously wide rear fenders, and massive wings.

During the prosperous mid-1990s the S10 and Ranger sold like hotcakes despite being pretty average trucks. I have not forgotten that the VERY stale Generation-one Colorado and Canyon were head and shoulders better than the 1990s versions of the S10 and Ranger. That tells you how hungry buyers were for compacts back then.
