Glad you seemed to have an enjoyable day and drive! Might need to check out that winery myself.

Where'd you get them put on?

La Nibbia is a little place on the south side of 92 about where all the nurseries are. They have a cute little tasting room and a picnic area behind with tables, lots of flowers, and 2 bocce courts. We take our picnic basket there a lot and get a bottle. My wife loves their sparkling wine (about $17). They charge $10 for tasting, and you get to keep the glass. They always let us split a tasting. We also really like their muscats; orange and black. They are so good over vanilla ice cream. The rest of their wines in my opinion are just ok.


I got the panels and install at Mann Engineering while my car was sitting there for weeks waiting for Rotex to send my new SC. Panels were $250 and $75 install.

Strange plague sweeps region. Only affects owners of The Twins! Complete recovery is expected tomorrow.

My '13 has them (EU spec) and although I haven't given them a thorough inspection lately, they have obviously been doing their job.
I drive on gravel quite regularly so those protective panels are a blessing.

On a scale of 1 to 10, are there any women in here that taught their training bras any tricks when they were younger?

Welp, I am become full millennial

A friend recently bought a roomba and said it's pretty useful for general cleaning, and my apartment has really shitty carpet (perk of getting it for extra cheap rent when I was a college student) that hasn't ever cleaned well with a normal vacuum.

So while I could've just bought a fancier new non hand-me-down vacuum I decided it'd be interesting to try a roomba since I'm fairly busy during the week.

Got a cheaper model on sale during black friday weekend and it finally arrived. Seems interesting, but will have to let it run for a few days to see how useful it really is.

My mom bought me a roomba, I spent about $300 keeping it going with brushes and a new battery. I finally threw it out when the front sensors quite. Great idea, not there yet.

Which model was it and how long did you use it for? I figure it won't be able to clean _everything_ but it'll be decent enough for the empty sections of carpeted floor and hard floors in kitchen/bathroom for regular debris.

Let's not forget the Woomba

Well IIRC the self roaming vacuum (what became later on as Roomba) was invented and first demonstrated at a trade show around 1996 in Hong Kong.

But of course these days you will never find this info on the interweb.

Like who even remembers that Segway was originally codenamed Ginger and was shown in secret to Steve Jobs at the very beginning before commercialization.
