We had a similar thing happen to us. AC shit the bed the year we moved in. Turns out all the refrigerant leaked out at some point and it was that old stuff which they couldn't replace. Ours was about 25 years old so we just replaced the whole system. that makes sense IF ITS LEAKING / BROKEN. Rippin...

So my heating bill on the new house has been in the $400-500 range a month during the winter. Couldn't figure out why. Just figured the system is old as shit and pretty junked at this point. Got quotes for a new system from 3 people. Still waiting on the 3rd to make the final call, but one of the c...

:plac: finds v2.0: Moar gold on the crangslist

I’ve taken my toddler to rooftop bars. Just gotta go early is all.
The feeding schedule is tough but if you can work around that and bring a bottle then you can go nearly anywhere with them.

I am very much anti airbnb, considering the fact that you pay 190$ for cleaning fee and you have to leave spotless. Unless maybe there isn't an accommodation I can find outside for intended destination Yet somehow there are 100s of thousands of them in this country and they are generating iNcOmE an...

35-50k in todays world is not "expensive" per say since the average transaction price is 48k. :disgust: I keep waiting for the shoe to drop but somehow the average american family making 70k can afford a 48k car and a 470k house and many vacations as AIRBnB is thriving... I just don't get...

20 on the van is pretty bad but I guess it’s a rolling shipping container. Weird the atlas does better on fuel. Did you test a 2.0T one or just the VR6? I wonder how laggy that motor feels in something this large. Not surprising that it drives better than it should. Nice to hear. And I keep reading ...

Yes we have talked about the cost and know we need to cut it back. You only have bits of information and I’m really not going to share more about that since it’s a sensitive subject for her. But yes as I mentioned if that can be cut back the options open wider. Wifey has been pushing to sell the 86...

You guys have an Atlas too, right? What's your assessment on that vehicle versus the van if you're only using the first two rows regularly? How it drives, ease of use, MPG, etc type daily use.

I had a CX-30 as a rental for a week. It was great for what it was. Mazda gets a lot correct with their cars. Their infotainment being knob controlled, no touchscreen, widescreen, and in your line of sight seems like a no brainer. Yet, they're the only ones really doing that. Also, the old six spee...

I demoed a rim brake carbon setup a few years ago and the braking was horrible. I can't imagine it in the wet. Did some cycling this weekend. I have a tradition of riding 2X my age on my birthday, turned 35 Saturday so went out and did 71 miles. I hit about a 40 mile group ride and then 30 solo, I ...

I’ve asked that but it’s related to lady parts and pelvic floor. She needs a lot of one on one troubleshooting with the physical therapist every session.

We stretched the budget way too far to get this house and I can’t afford an additional $150 a month for a less fuel efficient vehicle.

Not a bad suggestion for longevity overall but will have old car bs problems, and likely will get about 10 mpg. Yea but it won’t have a 40k car note … 40k at todays 5.5% is $183 a month probably enough to pay for gas and repairs. And I’m not even using the cost of borrowing and depreciation. Gas co...
