1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Water is quite a bit colder up here...

The good thing though is beaches are dog friendly

 

Polar bear swim it is!

 

Those don't appear to be unibody. The first gen Honda Ridgeline's were though.

 

Ok fellas, Hondra Ridgeline vs Subaru Baja.
If you had to pick one to drive for the next decade...

 

Baja all day long. Easy.

 

They are both way smaller than what i'm use to, so it would probably come down to my comfort in the driver's seat... I hate cars/trucks that have a center console that encroaches on my right knee or that force my leg to an awkward angle toward the gas pedal...

 

Neighbor had a Baja when we moved here. Has a Santa Cruz now. I rather like the Baja to be honest. But Subaru is just a little quirky overall. An MT Forrester is probably my top choice if I had to own one.

 

T-Mobile shut down their 3G network summer 2022. They might give you something free but with it being so long I wouldn't count on it.

 

It's a unibody.

I wonder why they bothered separating the bed from the cab then? Maybe to trick our brains into thinking it's a truck haha

 

Who knows? You can even get them in FWD only. Absolute garbage.

 

This. Center consoles have gotten aggregiously large and annoying in modern verhicles.

 

Actually I’m wrong, my Nokia 6103 flip phone is a 2g phone. Somehow though, they stopped coverage in this area long ago but were unwilling to offer me an upgraded 4g LTE phone unless I bought $100 worth of minutes. Maybe because I’m prepaid on their network? Dunno.

 

This all sounds like caveman speak to me

 

The Smithsonian might want to put that on display

 

The range/reception on it was awesome. I rarely had issues getting at least one bar in a building. I’m a little sad it’s unusable.

 

I bet that thing had a 0.8 watt or better radio in it. Older cell phones had stronger radios due to fewer and farther apart towers. Now the towers are everywhere and the radio in the phones is down around 0.4 watts or so. The old bag phones were up around 3 watts! Fry your brain.

 

1G -Boomer phone
2G- Gen X phone
3G - Millennial phone
4G - ???
5G -Zoomer phone

Maybe this? (Don’t quote me for accuracy) lol

 

@FirstGenVol get freakin ready. We doin this.

 

This adventure sounds fun! Bedapolooza 2023

 

4 dudes and 6 beers is gonna get awkward in about 5-7 mins. Guess you could leave the other 2 with the seller and the helper since you have to drive off after.

 

That Sir is an impreza, but I like where they went with it. Far cry from the stock FB20

Baja with the flat 6 & manual. Plz.

 

Ridge line with sliding rear doors and under bed trunk storage with grocery hooks plz

 

Garbage motor. Only Subaru motor worth a shit was the EJ25

 

I just want the noise. Eff the supercharger i want itb's.

& the robin eh29 is pretty decent. Mine would float valves going downhill & not care at all.

 

Hey, i need an adult. Can someone help me understand the tables at the bottom of this page? Aside from the fart smeller, yall are smart fellers.

For a 36 pole motor, whats the star rpm & delta rpm? Pretty sure the motors coils stay stationary, and spinning the ring of magnets, & i know delta means 'change'...i'm just a little confused, trying to figure out the best way to wire a junk generator out of a washing machine motor.

 

Out of my realm. Last time I was messing with motor circuits was circuit analysis 2 back in college. Suppose I can relearn that stuff once I retire and we’re all driving EVs as a daily driver.

 

This is why I could never own a Rav4, Highlander or such....

The wife's '22 Forester is nice, but it has a similar design so I can only comfortably drive it for short distances....
