It's like... :mk6: -esque in size by my estimation. :dat: The caddy and alfa are about a class size down in rear seat space when compared to a 3 series which is why they got dq'ed when I was looking. Yeah it’s out. Realistically I’d never buy one anyway due to premium fuel but too bad nonetheless.

Ah balls. Yeah way too small for the child fortresses that are rear facing car seats. It's unreal how big those things are. Our last infant seat was a Graco. It seemed ok. Well new crash reports came out and that used to be ranked high and now it’s awful. So we got a new one since we needed a new s...

https://i.postimg.cc/4YhfJg3P/IMG-4242.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/kDfXssZQ/IMG-4243.jpg Back seat in the Alfa was pretty small, I’d be pretty uncomfortable sitting behind myself for more than 30 minutes. I could ride behind myself in the 328i all day. I’m tall but my legs are relatively short and I s...

How’s the back seat space behind you? Usable by a toddler? I love these cars.

:dat: The whole :tits: can't drive :manuel: like once/month or whatever is such a :bs: :pout: :seriously: argument. Like, my mom is the worst driver I've ever ridden with and daily drove a manual in Lake Effect PA winters for decades. :whocares: I'm not asking anyone to 'suffer through it' everyday...

Most of it. Both fenders need to be redone with the badges pulled so it's done correctly. Roof to get rid of the dirt underneath and because it's peeling up at the corner. Fix the weather stripping on the roof which he didn't do and the b pillar bubbles. The think the front bumper is okay despite h...

Yeah if you want / require a manual there’s not a whole ton of options that aren’t old as dirt. I’d probably off it and find something with a real back seat that could sling a kid around occasionally. This might be a dumb suggestion so go ahead and laugh me off the forum. But what about something l...

So far it's radio silence from Covrgard. I messaged them on their site and emailed them. Detailer of doom thinks I'm just dropping the car tomorrow for the b pillar. Should I give him a prior warning for all my issues or ream him out in person? Was planning to do it in person but then if he says he...

Covrgard website says you can pressure wash it…

Chalk it up as a loss and have it redone by someone competent maybe. Could call the local high end dealerships and see who they use. They likely contract that out. I'm already about $2800 in the hole with this dude. Pay another shop to remove + install more film. Woof. It would all add up to be abo...

I don’t have some super powerful pressure washer but whatever. I’ll make sure to keep an eye on the b pillars from now on.

This ppf guy sucks

I did see an Ineos yesterday and it looked quite :neat: I’m still at 0 of those. They seem shockingly well built for a brand new car company Seen a few hanging out at the Ferrari dealer. They seem.... decent? I dunno. The side attachment rail things are stupid. But otherwise the truck seems decent.

So I’m making a list of sports cars that would be within each price bracket that are decent … 1. GR86 (30-40k) 2. Type R Shitvic (40-50k) 3. M2 (60-70k) 4. C8 (70-80k) 5. M3 (75-85k) 6. Carrera T (130-140k) I ran the ownership numbers too … cheapest is GR86 (duh) at $793 a month Carrera T is $2230 ...

Borrowed my mom’s Honda Insight for a trip with the kid. It’s basically a civic hybrid. Maybe a bit too small and typical Honda poor assembly quality. But 62 mpg is pretty dece and it’s not awful to drive. Handles ok. Hybrid is clunky in operation. Maybe an accord hybrid would be good as a dad car. ...

Saw a couple cyber trucks recently. Wrapped ones look hilariously stupid. The stock stainless looks alright I guess. Certainly unique. I wouldn’t buy one but whatever.

I’m meh on it.

You know what would have been helpful? Leading with this information to give context as to why I should limp a 30yo AC system along. This is something I did not know and is very helpful knowledge. I see all sides of this. I TOLD Brad about this shit. I was real mad dropping 7400 on 410 when I found...

Hydronic heat system that uses a boiler to heat radiators in two air handlers. The air handlers also have the AC coils. 2 outdoor condenser units. Air handlers are 30yo Condensers are 20yo Boiler is about 17yo - needed $3k of repairs as soon as we moved in I can’t for the life of me figure out why ...

You are right. Brad is :wrong: 30 years? That is fucking ancient. Thing is dead man walking. Control your environment. Control your life. :dat: 30 years is boiler life span, not furnace. Fortunately, our boiler pissed the bed (sprung a non-fixable leak) in the summer so we weren't under pressure to...

Gonna be rearranging some shit in the house this weekend to prep for :baby: .. my office will move down to the big bonus room downstairs, Michelle will move her office into my current office, and her office will become the nursery. We picked up a dresser of FB marketplace over the weekend, and have...

Alright well Johnny gonna be real fucking mad when he finds out r-410a is also being phased out and he has to pay 300 a lb for refrigerant in 8 years on a system top up. I'd take that 2 year gamble on a working system. Hell... I AM. my r-22 ac is real fuckin old...like 1987. Im hoping to not put in...

We had a similar thing happen to us. AC shit the bed the year we moved in. Turns out all the refrigerant leaked out at some point and it was that old stuff which they couldn't replace. Ours was about 25 years old so we just replaced the whole system. that makes sense IF ITS LEAKING / BROKEN. Rippin...

So my heating bill on the new house has been in the $400-500 range a month during the winter. Couldn't figure out why. Just figured the system is old as shit and pretty junked at this point. Got quotes for a new system from 3 people. Still waiting on the 3rd to make the final call, but one of the c...
