Reset my MGB's in snow storm with a dime and a match book. Used the dime to loosen. The striker to clean the points (needed a new capacitor) and the cover to set the gap. Drove it a few more months before I did the full tune up...

Actually built a 1984 HD Softail, pulled the electronic ignition out and replaced with points and condenser. Last of the four speed with kick and electric start.
Points and condenser made it easier to kick start and ended the battle with the crappy electronic ignition.

When the last time you bough bicycle tires they were on a rack not in a box...

It's the bike that's hybrid. Part road, part gravel, part commuter, etc. The tires are made for anything except the most extreme conditions.

You know you're old when...you see a new Mercedes E Class and C Class parked next to each other and really can't tell the difference without looking at the badging.

When you go to work wearing a shirt given out at a conference and one of the staff points out it’s older than they are are 😀

You know you're old when you prefer driving in Eco or Comfort mode because otherwise the car accelerates faster than you need to, and the suspension is too rough in Sport mode... (confession, that is usually me...)

I'm old, but I'm not that old. Sport and Sport + all day, every day.

I drive in sport mode 99% of the time. The only time I might take it off sport mode is sometimes when I'm on the hwy. I also like to hear the exhaust, so I have to have a performance exhaust on my cars, either OEM or aftermarket. When I'm driving I like to know that the car is working, if I can't hear the exhaust I start to worry that something is wrong Even the wife's X5 has an M performance exhaust, and I think she likes it |
