Quote from Kia: No special break-in period is needed. By following a few simple precautions for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you may add to the performance, economy and life of your vehicle. Do not race the engine. While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&client=ubuntu&q=kia+running+in+engine+recommendation The manual specifies the first service is at 15,000 km. IIRC, I asked for a link first, which has not appeared.

Doesn't matter, as long as I am comfortable. My GF doesn't seem to mind.

I agree, it helps a lot to be able to talk in Thai. And listen.

Horsepower may be fairly useless unless the vehicle has AWD or traction control. Back in the day, I used to enjoy myself taking my Honda Civic with 1.2 litres of engine up Arthurs' Seat, with cars having three times the engine size trying to catch me. They never did. You're right, there's always something faster on the roads - in a straight line.

Mark the hole, then drain the tank to below that level. A bit of two-pack epoxy or silicone sealant is probably all that is needed.

In high humidity, when we sweat there is very little cooling effect. OTOH, sweating in low humidities creates a cooling effect as the sweat evaporates from the skin. 35 C in 100% RH can be intolerable, whereas 40 C at 10% humidity can be reasonably comfortable. Hence dehumidifiers are useful.

I set the aircon at 27 C. Stay in the room almost naked.

Your opinions are 1/10.

She is in Thailand, and probably talking in terms of Thai baht.

For once, we are in full agreement.

Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe? I'd agree professional fighters seem to attract a certain type of woman like flies to honey. All that testosterone shrieking at the estrogen.

His ad lib with the electric razor was pure comic genius.

Women are attracted by power, intelligence, money, and looks. IMO money wins in a canter. Intelligence probably comes in fourth.

Yes she is, and you think I don't know the photo you posted is from ThaiFriendly or OnlyFans?

Visit an ophthalmologist, you need a new prescription.

You first.

Send me your bank details please, I want to buy your book.

I'll have to tell my 56 yo GF that, 41 kg of cute and shapely. Nothing wrong with the Thai diet, it's the Western junk food that turns the ones who can afford it into fat slugs.

IMO Tudge and Robert should be in jail for what they did during Robodebt.

Perhaps you have not noticed many Thai women age a lot better than Western women. If you want to troll me, you will have to lift your game considerably.

The first question I get asked here is " Where you come from?" The second is " You have wife or GF?" If I say no to the second question, 90% of the time I will get some kind of pitch on how they would be a good companion, and take care of me. I am old, and not handsome. That doesn't matter, I get propositioned because I am seen as potential support. I get a lot of interest from women in the 40 - 50 age bracket, still beautiful. Their future is bleak if they do not find a partner. Many get discarded by Thai men once they hit 30; the government pension at age 60 is 600 baht/month. You need to get out more.

There are more than 35 million Thai women. How many broke backpackers do you think there are?

Back in the day, there were starfishes, and women who enjoyed sex. The starfishes did not get a second chance. I have a GF now, probably because I got tired of sorting the wheat from the chaff.

It's not trolling when I ask a question in relation to a speculation of yours. That's simply a deflection. You can't know what was said unless you have the full transcript, you just don't want to admit it. You are reminding me of a guy who claimed he remembered everything. I asked him "How would you know?"
