What’s your all in electric cost per kWh? We are about $0.20/kWh in Philly area if you include all charges. 35 cents per kw when the car was charging. It is 66 cents per kw at peak! Wow y’all take it in the ass. Solar really pays off then. Out here it doesn’t. “Filling” a Tesla for example is like ...

Confirmed leak on downstairs unit on the cooling coil. Needs a new coil or a repair attempt. So that’s a full vac out and refill. $4,500. Upstairs unit is 2 lb low on refrigerant. So we are going to re charge it and add dye to find a leak if there is one. $1,370 for that. We will just do the re cha...

Remodeling costs/finding a contractor etc
We lived through a kitchen remodel with just a dog and cat. Dog was sent to wife’s parents house. Kitchen was fully unusable for like 3 weeks. It was a lot of take out food. No way in shit would I do that with a kid. Our AC quotes are for two zones, one with a gas furnace and another with a heat pum...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
I have to say, the Elantra is kind of dope. I filled up the tank and got 38 MPG hand calculated. The handling and comfort are quite respectable, it's super comfy and just a nice place to chill. I've weirdly gotten compliments on it from TWO people. 86 gets more but I would expect this to blend to n...

Yeah I dunno. The outdoor units are 20yo. The air handlers are 30yo. Dudebro coming next week. Hopefully it’s able to be patched up. If not I’m going to replace with a similar setup because frankly I’m done with this pile of shit house. The latest saga is my brick pointing is literally crumbling an...

They’re not heat pumps 2 outdoor compressors and 2 air handlers. 2 full zones. Heat is supplied by a hydronic heater “boiler” that brings hot water to radiators that are inside the air handlers. Why they ripped out radiators in each room to do this is beyond my comprehension. So heat is water. Cool...

Just pulled right in front of you? RIP bitchin' Camaro. Glad you're mostly OK> Yeah, I had the green she must have had a left on green light, and she didn't see me at all. Just turned in front of me. She didn't even try to slowdown or stop. Holy shit man I’m sorry. That must have been terrifying. G...

So my reward for the air duct repair was short lived. The air handlers have two radiators in each. One for heat one for cooling . The heating system is all working great and delivered hot air quickly to the house when it got cold out. Yesterday was our first hot day with the house at 87F. AC went o...

Is a CVT 1.5T accord total seppuku? Would you at that point just go for the more expensive used Camry Hybrid?
I have a feeling I’m going to need to quickly buy a car in the next 3 weeks and have been looking at what’s available. Used prices are still insane. $20 grand doesn’t buy much.

General Economic chit chat/updates.
If one doesn’t “oversimplify” you get nothing done and write 10000 page regulations on how high to cut the grass and if birds fart. Facts are facts. Our younger generations are being fucked into oblivion and carrying the golden geese into the retirement Homes. It’s a bit more troubling than just wh...

Also, Cleveland airport had a very poor selection of rental cars, I opted for an Elantra with 400 miles on the clock. I can see why people buy these things, for the price it is quite loaded out. The newer interior is :nice: , cool looking off white leather semi sport seats, sunroof, lots of tech, h...

State seems like a good deal but just know quality will be pretty spotty. A friend of mine had one and the head tube separated from the down tube on him. He was riding MTB trails but still. The all city has been good to me overall. It takes a beating and keeps asking for more. I treat it really poo...

With careful tire selection they’re not worlds slower than a road bike. And yes you will be under-biked on MTB trails so you have to select the trail carefully, but honestly that can be kind of fun. It certainly makes most trails feel way more gnarly and wild. I dunno. Dan’s use case is exactly how...

I still really want a gravel bike but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger as I don't know how much use I'll really get. The main thing would be there's some really fun/fast MTB trails down in SC I can get to from my house almost entirely by paved greenway. It's about 12 miles each way, so it's a slog ...

I actually went for a road ride last week. It was nice out so I went local to some good roads and such I used to love riding on. I’d like to say it felt great but I had no power and could hardly do the hills. I have lots of catching up to do if I even want to hang on the casual shop rides. Hopefully...

I think the proportions of the C8 are off. So it only looks good if the color and all is just right.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 2:30 pm I saw another C8 at the Costco gas station last night. Crappy wheels...the square exhaust, WHITE.... Everything has to be just right with these or it's a no go.
