theres not enough alcohol in beer to sterilize a substantial volume of water
they werent retarded, they would just boil water
beer (and wine) were then and are for now getting tipsy all day.
Yeast can only make so much alcohol, before they die in their own alcohol. So beer and wine are safe to drink because of the alcohol, but they have just barely enough alcohol to kill microbial life.
Beer and wine were often watered down so you wouldnt be hammered all day.

>>29039025
And thats if you ferment until the yeast die. 13-15% at the most abv.
The alcohol making process starts with boiling. Wine and beer are both acidic. The role of alcohol as a sterilant is hugely hugely overblown.

Ah yes, the knockoff E-Class. Honestly, there's really nothing wrong with the car itself, it's just not a standout winner in any way. But it will always get you where you need to be, which is something people can no longer take for granted, given the early failure rates for many newer cars these days.

I have literally never gotten my tires rotated.

If you drive more than a few minutes your tires rotate, like, thousands of times? Need to rotate them the other way, just drive in reverse a few hundred feet.

You look up "tire rotation" and its some utterly deranged shit like pic.
Like, you're gonna take my tires off and rotate them back and forth and, like, fucking side to side? Do these room temp morons not know that tires were literally made to rotate only the one direction?

>This oil is synthetic, so I can double or triple my interval!
Oil companies want to advertise that their oil lasts longer on the bottle. Car manufacturers don't want their used cars to cannibalize new and CPO sales.
Can they last 15k between changes? Sure, but it's worse for your engine than a 5k oil change. It will always be better to change oil sooner.
Synth is better, but it's not THAT much different, people act like all the rules of nature don't apply anymore.
The only maintenance most have to do is oil changes, it's really easy.
I do 5k NA, 3k turbo, with synth, and I will continue to do so. You do you.

ok. well. Your tires last less useful tread, and give you greater stopping distance sooner than everyone else.

Hey guys any thoughts on fitting the monkey wrench racing tvs900 supercharger kit on my 1zz mk2 lotus elise? Using a black emu ecu.
Concerned about heat and conrods.would be all stock internals.

I'm informed it will reliably increase power from 140 to 220 without issue. The ecu will retard ignition on heatsoak.
Its recommended to install water/meth injection but I'm concerned about legality and complexity

Buy literally anything with a Toyota badge and it will exceed your expectations. My Corolla is nearly old enough to vote and only has 1000 miles to go until it reaches the moon and I feel there's a real chance it'll make the journey back to earth in another 17 years.

I'm shopping for a practical CUV/SUV that's economical and reliable. I've found several Lexus RX300/330/350 models nearby for around $6,000, with mileage ranging from 150K to 250K.

Currently I drive a 2015 Nissan Altima with 100K miles, and I'm looking to move up to something capable of handling mild trails and car camping, with room for light upgrades like a roof rack and mudflaps. The Lexus RX seems like the strongest option for affordability, reliability, and fuel economy, but I haven't seen it come up much in discussions here. Anyone have experiences with these?

Are there other vehicles I should be seriously considering alongside it?

Fishing poles, camping gear (tents, sleeping bags, chairs), gas cans, etc., are best stored outside of the cabin.

I imagine getting some vitamin D for yourself may help you sort out your snarky attitude.

I'm sorry you don't live in a place where incorporating functional additions to your vehicle for the outdoors is useful.

It's also a matter of taste.

Pre 2010 to 2014 Subaru Outback with the 3.6R 6 cylinder boxer engine. They switched to a CVT in 2015, the head gasket problem was a thing of the past by 2010 and the 6 cylinder engines never had head gasket problems anyway. The H6 gives you about 260 horsepower and still gets me around 25 MPG and Subarus AWD is pretty much the best AWD you can get.

If any richfags are out there, I'm looking at a no title bike. Based on what the guy has told me and his facebook profile, I don't think it's stolen, but I want to be sure before I shell out $1,000 for it. NICB says it's not stolen or totaled but I don't know anything else. I also suspect the odometer may be wrong because swapping the speedometer and odometer on these bikes is extremely easy and he said he had a parts bike.

>on a run of the mill, 24 year old metric cruiser
Why would you waste your time with this bike? I guarantee you there are dozens of alternatives out there with clean titles. Without a title, you don't own shit, which means you can't register it and you can't get insurance.
>inb4 I'll run from the cops on when they pull me over
Not on a 500 pound, 50hp bike you're not.

Also, NICB doesn't tell you if it's stolen or not. NICB is an insurance database. If the guy the bike was stolen from didn't have comprehensive coverage (and why the fuck would he on a $2000 bike) that he claimed against, then it's not going to show up in NICB checks. If he reported it to the cops, then you wouldn't know until you got pulled over and arrested for possession of stolen property. You can take the VIN to the cops to see if they'll be nice and run a check, but still won't help you with the no title bullshit.

>>29040518
We have Trucker Path that people can use to report parking availability at a truck stop or rest areas.
While Massachusetts does have more than two truck stops, the one that anon is referring to are major chain truck stops that hardly ever has available parking, due to them being located at major travel lanes.
