I washed my car by hand yesterday. I'm "washing" mine as we speak. It's raining. Exactly. Meanwhile the air quality in the Coachella Valley is atrocious. Dust has filled the skies for the last two days and will continue into tomorrow. Spring in the desert is straight up Grapes of Wrath du...

The custom emojis are pretty key. They are fun to use.

Why would an oil change on an Audi cost $345?

CaleDeRoo wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 10:46 am Man the employee discount saved my ass on the S4. Diag, new master, new slave, new lines, and oil change for $700 all in. Non employee oil change pricing alone is $345.

I'm getting all OEM Sachs parts too.

Hendricks? That is a GREAT deal.

We bought ourselves a bit more time, but we may need to revisit the discussion of overall next steps. Server errors persist, none of us have the time or expertise to trouble shoot or keep the backend up to do date, so it's probably only a matter of time until we have some sort of catastrophic failu...

You need to talk to a few contractors. You will save money doing it all at once, but that’s a pain in the dick, especially with a kid! No website is going to accurately tell you costs for any of this. There are personally preferences you’re gonna have to factor in. For instance, tile can be $1/squa...

HOT. The fking questions people are asking the dude are a little over the top. It's a used car doods.

Yes please. https://www.penskehondaindy.com/inventory/used-2004-honda-s2000-base-rwd-2d-convertible-jhmap21414s001292/ https://vehicle-images.dealerinspire.com/bee7-110005296/JHMAP21414S001292/a5f1c8a064b8697d5d39687e387f75fb.jpg https://vehicle-images.dealerinspire.com/8aad-110005296/JHMAP21414S00...

My bro had an '85 Cab with the Mk1 GTI motor and trans. It was a fun little picnic basket. Really solidly built, too. Dat Karmann Coachworks That's how they came from factory, with all the GTI goodies to make up for the extra weight. But critically as a young male driver, without the GTI tax for in...

Then you would have two electric cars and no gasser. Fuck that.

Just tossing shit at the wall here... no decisions have been made. Was trying to see opinions outside of "EVs SUCK DIESEL RULES" here.

Don't you have some brahs up there who have some recommendations for contractors. HVAC should run you $13-15K. What kind of "new electrical" Bathrooms 1 at a time ok. On the kitchen Brad has a SRS point. I do have one... but he is somewhat based in a more expensive location and his quotes...

Yes. Regardless of people saying you get used to the control layout, I just find it heinous looking. Yea... the singular screen is not my favorite either. I can say that the center screen and tesla UI as a counter point... is superior to any other car infotainment. It is incredibly intuitive, easy ...

For those of you that have done a major reno, can you share some guidelines? And how you went about doing it? Given the price of real estate around here and the lowerish mortgage rate, it seems cost conscious to do a remodel vs buying a nicer property. I have seen something around $450 a sq foot ou...

Yea I don't think anyone is going to read/listen to any of it... They'll see EV and proceeded to shit all over it because reasons. :iono: Camisa specifically said that 0-60 is irrelevant as is the HP # as of late... given the super high EV performance figures for those. You of all people who have o...

Wait. We are supposed to discuss the pointlessness of the full battle cry of a highly boosted BMW straight 6 with the man pedal because Elon has put bigger electric motors in his cheapest piece of tupperware? Pretty short discussion. I suppose you missed the big dick brakes, pretty nice seats, adap...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xj0R4MyDhE Jason is saying the M3 is pointless now that the NEW model 3 Performance exists. I am :notsure: how I feel about that... in a way he is right... if you were to actually DRIVE 1k miles a month the Model 3 is far superior... but for tactile feel/manual/look...

And I bet they won't have any issues selling them. Can't forget about adm as well. I'm assuming the trailhunter will be about the same price too. :disgust: Yes they will. But depends on production numbers too. If they make 500 of em, They will find suckers. 5k + doubt it. The new Tacoma that just l...

It WAS better, but I could never bring myself to plug the vibrating puck back in.

Have to agree with this. To add insult to injury the cost of a decent hotel room has tripled.

I wash my cars on weekend mornings @ 6 a.m because that's when the shade is. I would hardly call it fun at the level of of repetitiveness that is required. I would say I have it down to an exact science, like doing laundry. Even if I was retired, I would not wash my cars under the glare of the orb....

Pretty lucky here for car washing in that we have a north facing driveway and are far enough from the equator that it is shaded most of the day. This is not a good thing during our annual ice-week since our driveway does not thaw.. it was, however, my south-driveway-facing neighbors who managed to ...
