So they want to give me this promotion at work. I’d go from high level engineer to managing a team of 17. So that’s the good news. Bad news is based on the pay they want to offer me, it would be a $2k/yr pay cut. So. I told them what I make now which surprised the hiring manager, and they’re going ...

I'll trade it for a GTI when the Prius lease is up, don't worry.

How’s the Prius treating you?

Whats your point? Using less gas is using less gas. I prob did this a handful of times in the volt. I think outside of road trips I only put gas in that car a handful of times. Some people like the idea of hoping in the car and driving across vast lands on a whim. Or not having range anxiety. Or vi...

Got the itch for something I haven't done before and enjoy driving the Jeep with the roof down. Quickly landed on an ND. More quickly landed on an ND2 for the telescopic steering column, and the bonus of higher redline and more power. The Club obviously for the suspension and diff. Clubs have been ...

Truckster update Lisa rammed it into a curb in the school pick up line. Wheel is pretty trashed (scratched and gouged badly). If we care it will need to be replaced. I don’t know if we care. Got hit by a rock due to penndot’s glorious repaving efforts and it spidered pretty bad. I might just call sa...

How old is the munchkin? Around 1 yo we started some bigger trips staying at airbnbs. Worked pretty well. You have to pack a lot but you have a truck so I’d assume you have plenty of ability to bring shit. 8 months of pure joy Yeah you’re in the thick of it. Hopefully you’re getting longer stretche...

8 months of pure joy Met up with my buddy, his wife, and their 2.5 week old baby briefly at a farmer’s market yesterday. They’ve had a rough start with baby life. Kid wasn’t latching. Lost more of his bodyweight than he ought to have, so their doctor had them waking him every 2 hours to feed and pu...

Anyone doing anything with the long weekend? Buddy is coming down from Seattle tomorrow to stay for a few nights. He’s getting more into gym stuff and hired a coach recently, so we’re just gonna be meatheads and lift, cook, and eat all weekend. Wants me to take him through some stuff in the gym to ...

I’m with you that it’s not acceptable, but this does reinforce the point. OEMs are asking these insane prices for regular old vehicles. Stellantis did this exercise with Jeep. And now they are sitting on 300 2023 300 2024s and 100 2025s at my local dealer and a wranglers are 15000 off… the consumer...

I’m sorry coogles. Sounds like he was a great dog.

So the guys that repaired the upstairs system quoted replacement of the downstairs system. $15,000 for just the outside unit with the compressor. Keep the 30yo air handler that’s likely leaking. Holy hell. We did our whole system - 4 ton variable AC unit and a two stage, highly efficient furnace - ...

How does this compare? Quote #1 was $30k -2 air handlers -2 outside coils, one of which was a heat pump -...

Great pics looks like a lot of fun!

That’s a nice ass car Melon!

The college kids around me are loaded and drive range rovers.

A couple rich college kids that live in my town have those baby blue M2’s with the boxy front. I totally dig it. Looked stupid as hell in pictures but it’s way cooler in person. I've softened on them a bit and I think the adro grille makes the front significantly better. A simple vertical kidney gr...

2 is a lot less than 7

I feel like this is the real answer

I remember carpooling was a "'making a difference" thing not too long ago I mean it really is though. It took me 1.75 hours to drive 30 miles in CT yesterday morning :disgust: We've got to get fewer cars on the road somehow. I drove in to work yesterday. It took me 1 hour to go 11 miles h...

Thanks for the input tiny sports car oxcart transmission lover. Huge swaths of America think dickswinging is all about dat BEEG SUV lyfe despite only transporting themselves in it. I would include myself in this analysis except my SUV mostly stays parked in a garage but for road trips. I mean I get...

M3 is M3. Toss that one. I guess I just do it myself or go to cheaper mechanics that you and your friends. I DYI... as do my friends... or take it to some shit shop... but JP doesn't wrench. That. I have no interest in spending what little time I have on my own getting covered in liquified dinosaurs.

A well engineered RWD sedan will be infinitely better than a FWD accord. YES. JP, no reason not to consdier a low mile 330i Sport Pkg. Reliable, seppuku-free, pretty dang good gas mileage. Yeah. Not a bad pick. Compared to an Accord the back seat is a lot smaller and good gas mileage is somewhat er...

Looking at prices of used Camrys and Accords is mind blowing. $25k for a 2021 Accord with 50k on it that was $26k new is insanity. When you can find piles of BMW 330i, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Audi A5 Sportback etc for that same price with half the miles. I simply don't understand the used car market sti...
