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....

The duct had fallen and totally separated in two spots. It is a foam board duct (common) but wasn’t stapl...

Most of us are not self-employed :waxer: s who have the luxury of grabbing an hour or 2 of free time in the middle of the day with zero consequences from The Man to do fun chores, and whose weekends are generally filled with necessary chores/errands, etc., forcing unfortunate priority choices. :( I...

Nursery is coming together. Refinished a FB Marketplace dresser last week and got it set up in there yesterday. Finished the peel and stick wall paper on the opposite wall, and then put together another FBM found crib today. https://i.postimg.cc/tZK7mGBm/IMG-1927.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/rdYDxrxT/I...

These infrequent car wash stories blow my mind. In the desert, having no precipitation but also having wind that blows the desert floor upon your vehicle, frequent washing is essential unless you want to drive around in squalor.

That's a lot of car for 22 grand.

It's really a nice toaster to live with day to day. One is that the fuel capacity shrunk from 18.5 gal in ours to only 14 in the current ones.

That's dumb. Gas tanks these days are by and large just too damn small.

I think they may have canned them in Cali or I can't find any available... Weird. I see a bunch of new 24's on autotrader. They must be arriving now. 34 Grand for a car that pulls 1g and traps @ 106 and has a 10 year/100K mile warranty and can actually fit family members and stuff is an inflation b...

Mid-year performance review went great. Exceeds expectations across the board with notable growth in taking on more of a headship role with my contract actions instead of setting to my contract officers. Cash pool for bonuses is low this year with budget constraints, but I got the $500 max, plus a ...

New Camry just dropped …
It’s nice but not 40k nice. Toyota is off the rocker

OF COURSE. But no lease deal on a Model 3 is going to move me to action, even though it should by pure green visor car hater economics.

Just shows that I don't have enough money to not give a fuck about $140K. But I do have enought money to not give a fuck about $40K. You should give a fuck about both OF COURSE.

I'd consider a Prius Crime a long term hold. Also, shelling out $40K for an acceptable appliance that gets 50mpg is fine with me. Paying $140K for a Porsche when that money spins off 5.5% is less fine. :amazing: compare. Just shows that I don't have enough money to not give a fuck about $140K. But ...

Leasing poverty electric tupperware for $299/month so I can commute to my jerb. No thanks.

Fully loaded Prius Crime is the same price as the starting price for a Model 3, $39K $299 a month lease bruh. Buying is for suckers at the moment. With 7% interest rates and savings accounts paying $5.5% I'd consider a Prius Crime a long term hold. Also, shelling out $40K for an acceptable applianc...

Buying experience may be part of it too. Aren't scumbag :dillerman: marking up primes too? My brother in law is trading in his 3 for a Y and the process is so easy. No :bs: Yep, I'd rather have a Prius, but I think a Model 3 is quite a bit cheaper at this point. Also, I drove a 2014 Prius the other...

Right. Never going to buy a Tesla. Your red Model 3 above with the custom wheels is a major outlier. My weirdo neighbor and his wife across the street appear to be some sort of COVID refugees from El Lay....they have a white model 3. My ride from LAX to home in the back of a newish Model Y getting ...

Now a Lucid Air Sapphire..........that will work. My neighbor who was an early adopter doesn't have great things to say about em... car was out of commission for longer than the LemonX but he has more patience than someone with a 7 month CF. The Sapphire is the bick dick one with 1200hp that looks ...

5N looks good to me. Model 3 is a heinous crime against everything good and holy. Agree to disagree. The Model 3 is a better looking car IMO. The Hyundai sometimes looks better in pics, but in person it is a pretty awkward semi SUV shaped behemoth. I find it to be a very unoffensive and neutral des...

But then you would have to drive a model 3, which is pure seppuku.

How is a Korean EV any better ?

Eh … the new model 3 “plaid” is around the corner. Likely 1000lbs lighter and a far cheaper and easier to own alternative

It could've looked so much better if not for the golf clubs requirement. The E-Ray 5 spoke wheels are so hot though. They ARE good looking ramz.....the E Ray is a cool piece of engineering and so much more practical than a Z06.....but the base price is close on paper (I assume there is a zillion do...
