  • I haven’t learned how to make my own 3D models yet, just slightly modify some existing ones. My fiance and I are planning on enrolling in s class for 3D modeling so we can both learn how to do it. There are still so many useful things you can find though. I was surprised how much more than just download the file and hit print there was to it.

    The Samurai is like a smaller Jeep Wrangler. I like going off-roading a lot. Mostly got the Samurai as a backup vehicle for when I’ve got bigger projects on my 4Runner going and can’t drive it.

    I’ve considered getting a bike before but would rather put the money into my other vehicles. We’ve had a few bikers in my town learn the hard way how dangerous it is to not be careful. One of my coworkers pulled out in front of someone thinking they’d be able to accelerate fast enough to avoid them and ended up getting t-boned, luckily the bike was more hurt than he was. Another coworker left work in the rain and tried to take off super fast out of the parking lot, lost control, and rear ended a parked semi. He broke both legs and his pelvis, it will be 10 weeks before he can start putting weight on them again, and then he can start physical therapy to learn how to walk again. I’ve seen 2-3 other news articles about similar incidents the last couple months too.




  • Newer vehicles would not be too much of a difference depending on how much you let your vehicle warm up before driving during the winter. It runs less efficiently when cold but that would be offset by using the air conditioner in the summer. My primary vehicle is an 1988 4runner, it increases the idle when it’s cold to get to operating temp faster, I don’t have a/c. During the winter I get about 10mpg pretty much regardless of whether I let it defrost before driving or not, during the summer it goes up to about 15mpg. My fiance’s 2003 Jetta only varies by about 3mpg between summer and winter though.
