? I don't know what that means.

[–] raynethackery@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Since that is a full stop, maybe it means having to stop all that weight when braking?

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

In that case AWD and ABS are more important than curb weight.

I was putting that comment up to come back to see what the guy above you answered your question with.

Have you tried the "star" feature? That does exactly what you're looking for, but without useless posts.

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nope never have. I'm using boost app. What is it,

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It saves the comment/post, and you can find them later by going to your profile.

Here it is in the mobile version of the web app, it's the star. Click that, and then you'll see then under your profile -> saved.
