First, it's Toyota; second, it's a NA engine; third, it's a very low-output motor for the displacement by modern standards. 16k is probably pushing it a bit, but not terrible. It's different for turbo motors, though. Having had a turbo for the past number of years, and recently swapped for...

That one winds, so no need to do the Seiko Shake (unlike the Sellita SW-200, which can self-destruct if you hand wind, any owners be warned). If I recall, it keeps excellent time for an auto, too, only picks up about 3 seconds/day, which is COSC territory. Lools great, though you may find it...

She was amazing on SCTV, never overshadowed by the incredible amount of talent on that show. Every time I drive through Orangeville, I tell whoever I'm with that that's how they got the name Melonville in SCTV, and the other person invariably looks at me with a mix of confusion and mild irritation.

100% guaranteed he got sick of the constant "You want HOW MUCH?" messages and marked it sold out of pride...

I think the title of that article is a bit misleading, as the sales of the Santa Cruz weren't the main reason for the cancellation, though I'm sure it was a factor. It definitely didn't compete with the Maverick, which has been a smash hit for Ford, but was selling well enough. Not far off what...

Home Depot vans and trucks are way nicer and much cheaper that UHaul, especially if you want to do kilometers. But the big problem is rentals aren't guaranteed, and if the guy before you doesn't bring it back when he/she says (which does happen because renters are often small-time contractors)...

Because the video is pulled from ads. These cars exist, believe me, I hear about them regularly in the office when someone comes back from a visit to China.

Things are changing fast. A Chinese-Canadian co-worker just sent me this, and it gives some sense of what you can buy in China (assuming you can handle the hyperbolic enthusiasm of the narrator): I still have my doubts about long-term reliability, and a lot of the gadgets hold zero appeal for...

I love the bowing and scraping to the zillionaire language, like how the little claymation model of the rich c*nt in the middle 'symbolised stewardship and responsibility' for a dude with a private zoo accused of mistreatment of animals.

I work in an office that's at least half originally from China, and the excitement for these cars is palpable. They're all looking at lists and wondering which brands and models will become available. As a corollary, they are firmly of the belief that Chinese EV's are now vastly superior to...

I think there's no payment from YouTube unless people watch for a certain period of time, so I would imagine they overdub the commentary to keep people watching long enough to get their penny. Just the video in silence would tip people off pretty quickly that it's not a real race. They also...

Ha! Tell me about it. One tip: make sure to sort by 'New' rather than popular. Some of the nicely priced stuff sells fast, like within an hour, so you want to make sure to see the freshest posts...

People record video of the MotoGP video game and post it up after a race with the race date and title as click bait for people looking for a free replay or live broadcast of the race. Yet another example of the ongoing enshittification of YouTube.

I was wondering if your love for divers would trump your disinterest in Seikos. The Samurai is a unique design, definitely doesn't owe much to the Sub, unlike 90% of divers out there. I posted on Bookface, Kijiji, and r/WatchExchangeCanada on Reddit. In perhaps a sign of the times, I got one...

I did mine myself, and if I can do it, you don't need to be a GP mechanic or have special tools to sort it out. Any reputable shop should be able to handle it. Hardest part was getting the valve cover on the front cylinder back on without twisting the rubber gasket or getting silicone sealant in...

Not if he has anything to do with it. And I don't recall the last time China openly threatened to invade Canada, or posted a picture on social media showing a map of Canada and Venezuela with a Chinese flag over it, or directly threatened Canada at a global forum. A democratically elected...

This is why I'm selling. I have more than I wear already, so bought myself a watch box with 12 slots, and promised myself that I wouldn't own more than I could fit in the box. The problem is I'm now getting to the point where I'm having so sell some pieces that I really love, but I guess that's...

Pending sale on the diver from Reddit, and pending sale on the UFO here. Happy at least one is going to a good home...

This is what makes me laugh when people get worked up about Chinese spying. The US tech giants are no less malicious, and have at best rolled over for, and at worst actively aided, Trump at every opportunity. As an Android phone owner, Google could almost literally know everything about me...
