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. I kept the Jeep and Elantra clean, but it was in the form of “touchles...

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...

I actually really enjoyed doing it this past week. It had been years since I hand washed a car.

Always wanted to throw one of these decals on the Jeep, but just never pulled the trigger. https://i.postimg.cc/18y0K27K/FF5-E1-DB3-9-BEC-40-DE-8256-A8111119-FFAF.jpg And yeah, car is dirty again. Had her parked outside for a few days while I refinished a dresser in our garage. Too lazy to clean the...

Hell yeah dude! Nice work. Hopefully that feedback makes it up the chain at the acquiring company and they know you’re one of the good ones going forward. I’m honestly kind of excited about the acquisition. I for the most part do enjoy what I do, the company/management/strategy has just been a bit ...

Thank you sir! Nice way to close out the week for sure. :fuckyeah: Nice job man. Feels good to get some positive recognition. Both my boss bro and VP acknowledged anything could happen with this acquisition but said I’m one of the best talents on the team and they definitely see me as critical to k...

:ohdang: will keep an eye on that for sure! Thanks for the heads up. Mine seems to be dropping steadily as I drive, but some quick napkin math shows ~36mpg, which seems high and is 8 higher than than the 28mpg the onboard calculator is showing. First gen supercharged ones did a bit worse than secon...

Yeah the owner’s manual says 13.2 and my first full fill up I put 12.419g in it, so I think that’s accurate. Driven 120something miles this week and still showing 3/4 of a tank which is :nice: I’ll probably fill up again next weekend, even though I should drive way less next week with Michelle bein...

13.2 in this bad boy. But that at least makes sense with the size/weight of the thing. Really ?

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.

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 ...

Saw a bunch of motorcycles out today, and now I wanna get a bike again. I get this itch every spring. I’ve been looking at FB marketplace motorcycle listings for the last 20 minutes. I’ll probably change my mind once I see another Charlotte driver cut off a motorcyclist and almost kill them. But I ...

Come on over, let’s do carbro things in the driveway.

on my way see you in 4 days

Finally hit Napa. Intake and cabin air filters replaced, and picked up an oil filter.. probably change oil next weekend. Windshield washers weren’t spraying, so I bought fluid and topped the two reservoirs off. Still not spraying, and it turns out they weren’t empty. I can here the motor of the pum...

TK, while you’re staying in El Segundo, if you guys want to go out for some nightlife, just down the coast you’ll hit the Hermosa Beach pier. Lots of bars, jam packed every night, generally good vibes. Haven’t been there in a while, but The Underground is right off the pier and has pool, shuffleboa...

Damn.. maybe their commission plan will actually make sense and not fuck you over?

Yeah I may grab that 2 ton low profile..

I know there was some shit with their hacks or stands a while back.. are their Pittsburg jacks any good? They have the 3 ton on clearance for $90 or the 2 ton for $80..

Looks great. What floor jack did you go with? I need to grab one and some stands so I can start turning wrenches again. The jack and stands I had disappeared between when our movers loaded the truck from San Diego and when they showed up here to unload it :mad: Was considering grabbing some ramps f...

Summer mode engaged! These wheels are going to be a MAJOR pain to clean that’s for sure. New floor jack is 5/7. And it’s nice having those little adapter puck things. Recoded my headlights with bimmercode. Gonna mess around with ambient lighting too since the standard options kinda suck. In the pic...
