How does this happen!??!?!? One day, I’m out enjoying a ride with my dog, the next day I am customizing a ridiculously expensive bike and picking out ulta specific parts and contrivances with interlaced interworking feelozometers to give me exactly the something I am desperately trying to get. But now, through no forethought of my own, I can appreciate the positive rebound of a VPP, the lateral stiffness of cross laced zircon spokes, and the effect a head tube angle might have on my facilitation of a rock garden, either ascending or descending.

I bought a car the other day with 1 hr of research and 2 hrs of shopping. I’ve spent about 6 work weeks researching and building a new bike; countless posts and post reviews; minutes and hours from many people have been burned in thought, dialog and consultation. I spent about an hour on the Yeti site picking my way through a review in French to see if the thru axle performed well on moderate climbs vs. a qrv axle. I spent an hour on kia, hundai, toyota, honda web sites combined and bought a car.

Upon the arrival of my new car, what discrepancies and remedies did I feel were in order for my two existing cars: Acura: deep clean and buff $250, Truck: new stereo and vacuum out the dog hair $150. My Blur desperately needs and cannot live without: new shock, wheels, disc breaks, and seat for over $1000.
