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...

I don’t want a fun car I just want one that won’t be a problem.

A basic bitch bmw 3 series is pretty solid these days my dude

Yeah and they’re readily available at $25k in perfect condition with AWD and stuff like memory seats.

But if not for family, why not just get an M2 that is $50k less and better? 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 ex...

ND miata colors have been garbage, especially recently. White, gray, black, red, primer, and sand? A dark, dark blue only on club? Who is deciding sand, primer, and dark blue over a fun color? They have not been great. And as nice as the red is, it’s impossible to color match if you need a bumper r...

What’s your all in electric cost per kWh? We are about $0.20/kWh in Philly area if you include all charges. 35 cents per kw when the car was charging. It is 66 cents per kw at peak! Wow y’all take it in the ass. Solar really pays off then. Out here it doesn’t. “Filling” a Tesla for example is like ...

Confirmed leak on downstairs unit on the cooling coil. Needs a new coil or a repair attempt. So that’s a full vac out and refill. $4,500. Upstairs unit is 2 lb low on refrigerant. So we are going to re charge it and add dye to find a leak if there is one. $1,370 for that. We will just do the re cha...

We lived through a kitchen remodel with just a dog and cat. Dog was sent to wife’s parents house. Kitchen was fully unusable for like 3 weeks. It was a lot of take out food. No way in shit would I do that with a kid. Our AC quotes are for two zones, one with a gas furnace and another with a heat pum...

I have to say, the Elantra is kind of dope. I filled up the tank and got 38 MPG hand calculated. The handling and comfort are quite respectable, it's super comfy and just a nice place to chill. I've weirdly gotten compliments on it from TWO people. 86 gets more but I would expect this to blend to n...

It’s been exceedingly stressful The deck is 2 years old and was a selling point of the house. It looked great when we moved in. Now boards are actually rotting and many have warped. It looks like total shit. Every “upgrade” the prior owners did caused major damage to the home. This is the case with...

Yeah I dunno. The outdoor units are 20yo. The air handlers are 30yo. Dudebro coming next week. Hopefully it’s able to be patched up. If not I’m going to replace with a similar setup because frankly I’m done with this pile of shit house. The latest saga is my brick pointing is literally crumbling an...

They’re not heat pumps 2 outdoor compressors and 2 air handlers. 2 full zones. Heat is supplied by a hydronic heater “boiler” that brings hot water to radiators that are inside the air handlers. Why they ripped out radiators in each room to do this is beyond my comprehension. So heat is water. Cool...

Just pulled right in front of you? RIP bitchin' Camaro. Glad you're mostly OK> Yeah, I had the green she must have had a left on green light, and she didn't see me at all. Just turned in front of me. She didn't even try to slowdown or stop. Holy shit man I’m sorry. That must have been terrifying. G...

Hold off on until you find out where the leak is. Maybe you'll dodge a bullet.

:fingerscrossed:

Maybe I’ll just go buy window units. They seem more reliable anyway.

So my reward for the air duct repair was short lived. The air handlers have two radiators in each. One for heat one for cooling . The heating system is all working great and delivered hot air quickly to the house when it got cold out. Yesterday was our first hot day with the house at 87F. AC went o...

Is a CVT 1.5T accord total seppuku? Would you at that point just go for the more expensive used Camry Hybrid?

I have a feeling I’m going to need to quickly buy a car in the next 3 weeks and have been looking at what’s available. Used prices are still insane. $20 grand doesn’t buy much.
