TIL about the "Whiskey Wars" between Canada and Greenland over a .75sq-m rock. The trolling is strong with this one.
Quote by the BBC " Both Canada and Greenland sit 18km away from Hans Island, allowing them to claim the rock under international law, and in the end they decided to settle the dispute at a later date. But in 1984, Canada made a bold stake for ownership when it landed troops on the rock. They swiftly planted their maple leaf flag and buried a bottle of Canadian whisky, before returning home to a country now larger to the tune of almost one square mile. Denmark's minister of Greenland affairs couldn't let such a provocation stand. Weeks later he set off for Hans Island, where he replaced the offending Canadian symbolism with a Danish flag and a bottle of Copenhagen's finest schnapps. But he went one step further than the Canadians had, proudly leaving a note that read: "Welcome to Danish Island." " |

TIL the supercharger on the new Escalade V is 35% larger in displacement than the engine in my FRS. Sure sounds good though...

TIL That although my wife's Ascent, that was ordered in January, has arrived at the dealer they "hope" to have it ready in a week or so since they just ordered the trailer hitch parts yesterday.
THEY HAD 6 MONTHS!

Timelines are still horrible - my sisters car was destroyed but a replacement is still "any day now, really..." - here's me wondering if they're not just trying to sell it at even more profit before finally giving it to the person who ordered it...

Timelines are not going to get any better for at least another year or at least that is what our big brass is telling us. Pretty sure the hitch issue has nothing to do will supply chain and more when they started to prep the car they had an OH SHIT TRAILER HITCH moment.

Lol, from my perspective it's a race. Can a Toyota dealership get a MT GR86 in stock to test drive before someone figures out 2.4 swap kit for the FRS?

Yes. Just order the new car. The swap is not going to be cheap or very DIY.

Plus, I'm still on the fence about it. I am 100% sure a swap isn't going to be less expensive or straightforward than just buying a car, but I'm sure I could figure it out given enough garage time, and it would certainly be interesting to do. |

Any reasonable priced swap is years out and will hardly be worth the time and money by then anyway.
