OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away
I don't envy those fertility clinic visits, eventual pregnancy, first few months with baby, sleeplessness for months, postpartum lingering for years, financial constraints which inevitably follow... etc etc My two boys are 11 and 8, and they are healthy and thriving. School is going great, and both ...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
I'm 375 miles into driving the Prius Prime in 5 days. It's rated for 39 miles on a charge (XSE has 19" wheels and loses 3mpg and 5 miles of range over the base car) I charge it overnight at home on a standard 110 outlet and it takes about 9 hours for a full charge. I have a 48 mile commute 1 w...

Yeah too bad you're not here, we'd be discussing gig dates. Sandro the guitarist would love to dip out of vocals.
Like you said, it's hard to find like minded people with the same commitment level.

So I bought some useless junk recently...
I played a ton of Metallica, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Tool, etc. I think now I would honestly just love to be in a 90s cover band playing Blink 182, Green Day, Weezer, Fall Out Boy, New Found Glory, other fun pop punk and emo that would be pretty easy to learn and sound good on. I'd ultimately enjoy ...

Nice dude! I always wanted an acoustic bass when I played.. my parents were surprisingly cool with me thumping on mine through the little 100W amp that I had at home though.. Trouble didn’t come until later when I bought a big ass 450W hybrid Marshall amp with a 4x10” half cab to play it through. I...

My wife has been struggling with the thumping of my bass guitar through the walls. Maybe the 150 watt amp has something to do with it, even at vol 2 the ampeg lays down some LOOONNNNGGG soundwaves that reverberate through two floors. I use headphones as often as I can, but they can be annoying at ti...

The purchase price is sig higher than I suspected. Here are the colors available here. I like the yellow in person. https://i.postimg.cc/18yp7088/Screenshot-20230917-083147-Samsung-Internet.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/svdP7Cy9/Screenshot-20230917-083709-Samsung-Internet.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/gnVVKt2...

I saw a yellow one parked up the other day and ended up doing a double take. I like where Toyota is going with this.fledonfoot wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2023 9:14 pm Prius Prime acquired. Drove it home and used no gas.
It’s actually kind of quick and the 20-55mph full throttle mash in hybrid mode is legit
Congrats on the new whip!

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
Whale, it looks like I might have a buyer for the tires and wheels together. I can recoupe 100% of the tire cost if I sell the factory wheels with it for $400/set. That puts the winter set back on the T-reg, they are a gloss black that Nicole kind of likes better esthetically. We are still working o...

Thanks folks, wife says the truck sounds like an airplane on the freeway lol.. she will try them for a couple more days, and if she doesn't like them I'll just take it on the chin and sell them gently used. We don't care about MPGs on this rig. It's already an abysmal 17 avg. It doesn't go far daily...

It's great when dealers charge fairly, I don't mind spending a little extra for the expertise. I've asked numerous times, trans fluid is lifetime, apparently. I don't remember what the deets are on the transfer case, but I'll look into the service history tomorrow. Thanks, I'm totally happy with how...

Sorry, the heating element in the seat went, the power stuff still works. Getting that pad out requires it to be removed, and taken apart. It's a lot of labor for a fairly cheap part.

Will do, no air suspension on that thing. Btw can you post up some deets on your ownership experience ? It’s a 2016 vr6? How many miles? How has it been over time ? Just a water pump ?

Based on what you are saying here, the wife will probably get over the new/cool factor and make me put regular tires on her truck. It's getting older (we bought it in 2016) so she will probably only want to keep it for another 3yrs. I don't really want to buy two sets of tires, so I'll need to find...

Ops, sounds like I bought too much tire. They're pretty sick, but the wife may hate them. We'll see, I would like to keep them if she isn't opposed to it, they can handle snow and shit so maybe I'll grab a summer set next year, she really doesn't drive much anymore, so they will likely hit 5 k every...

We were looking for tires on the T-reg, wife was cool with buying something badass that can stay on rain, snow, or shine. I think I might have gone a bit overboard, BFG K02s :facepalm: :lol: They are really cool looking, but I'm a bit worried that the wife will think they're too loud. https://i.post...

I would pump and dump, buy near end of warranty then dump after warranty expires. I don't trust the Defender personally.
