    48k miles, and I have done a fair bit of towing and more than a couple emergency stops at 50+ thanks to idiots like these.

    edit: almost all the towing I've done had been with trailers that aren't equipped with brakes.

    Oh hell no. Laser engraver. I crank the power and it carves out the pattern on the board, then swap to cut mode and it cuts out the insert. A little scraping and cleaning, glue, clamp, sand down.

    That sucks. Hope you kick it's ass fast and feel better.


    Also, NGL, I totally thought that was a different kind of test before I read anything.

    Ooof, sorry 'Wolfe :pout:

    In other news at least it isn't 2020 where this would cause a mass panic. I've gotten it twice, if not 3 times. Wasn't too bad. I mean, it wasn't pleasant, but a couple days of shitty.
