Load is pretty much how much resistance the flywheel sees, and I think it's relative to the maximum power at a given RPM. When cruising, a low amount of power is needed which is why we can comfortably stay in the low RPM range. But since the low RPM range maximum power is low, a high percentage of it is being used.

Definitely, man. Make sure to stick your cock in the hole after each fillup!

I am not really a scotch drinker, although I would say that I like single malt better. I have found myself recently trying premium bourbons at a local restaurant/bar here...coincidentally named Bourbon Brothers.

Depends on the size. But, you can get a JW Blue for around $200CDN. It's pretty good but, IMO...overrated.

But, peeps think it's like the GOLD standard of whiskey...I'm like...yeahhhh, sure. And I'm sure they have no freaking clue on what scotch truly is supposed to be like.

Brand whores.

No booze worth that...max for booze is $34.50.

Poontang not even worth $200 or $500.

A larger set with some limited edition crap...yeah. Can be. But, why? Standard bottle of Blue is around $200CDN...so probably a few bucks less down in the US.

Wait wait wait. Not true.

I'd easily cough up $500 to try out Natalie Portman's...poontang.

Well, you either like whiskey drinking or you don't. But, I can say that you can easily develop a taste for it...just don't start with Isley whiskies. That's probably more advanced and only after you've started with the milder Highlands stuff...

IMO.

As my wife says, if it's expensive, Yumcha will like it. Yeah, I do have a weird thing for anything $$$...not on purpose. I love cars...watches...nice clothes...good alcohol...art...food...

So, yeah...if I were as rich as Altegris, I'd probably be pretty happy because I believe $$$$ buys happiness.

Out of the premium vs regular thread too.
Enough time wasted, nobody intelligent enough but 6spd-GERCO to play devil's advocate.

Hopefully nobody passing by believes it is safe under all conditions to use 87 in a TL based upon a misinterpreted owner manual quote, the answer from an Acura pawn and data collected in specific situations.



So anyway, eating some breaded haddock tonight. Not sure what with though. I need me some suggestions.
