Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
So the 1.4 in the fiata is a tune away from ~200hp, 180 wheel. :dillerman: :nice: :wasteful: :tubeman: :math: All the journalists and YouTubers shat on the 1.4T Fiata versus the ND. I really liked it. Driving the Fiata six speed on Angeles Crest was a highlight of my entire driving career. The sun ...

:lolol: but cruicialy not 4x or 10x as you stated 2 posts above. I'm not saying its good, but its not as extreme as you imply. It depends on area too… some areas went through extreme price appreciation while others are down. Ex Ohio is likely in line with historicals or down . Sure. And some for no...

people forget the boomers had to deal with a sometimes 10%+ fed funds rate which effectively meant 15%-25% interest rate for access to credit right as they were coming to age in the 70's trying to get their life going in their early 20's. Not to mention that rate was so high because inflation was g...

So I agree with Melon's 'hand being delt analogy'. The absurd inflation piece that boomers benefit from has to do with irresponsible government. Also really like the 'Don't hate the players, hate the game' comment above. people forget the boomers had to deal with a sometimes 10%+ fed funds rate whi...

Nursery is 99% complete. Wallpaper is finished. Dresser, crib, rocking chair, and rug are in. Crib needs a mattress because we didn’t want to use the one that came with the used crib, but that’s about it. Just keep stock piling diapers from Costco for the next several months. Her parents want to bu...

I will say, the ND does kind of stomp the BRZ86 in that way. Everyone acts like they're basically the same, but the gap between the miata and BRZ is about the same as the gap between the BRZ and the rest of it's competitors. I'm praying the NE stays the same weight as the ND, has 1-2" more inc...

Ah, got you re: system design. FAWK. That sucks man. I'd encourage you to try and find someone that can maybe just do the a-coils, might still be significantly less than new system(s). If the compressors were making pressure they may still last another 5-10 years. Your lack of cooling at this point...

Another example a boomer born in 1960 and retiring in 2025 is slated to receive $2885 in social security ... me at the same age in 26 years is slated to receive $3800. I will be getting about 34% more than the boomer. The buying power of a $1000 26 years ago... is $1925 today. Meaning in order for ...

I don’t know that taking money from people who saved is an answer though. It would be a bit too much regulation for my tastes but limiting the number of homes people/companies can own and not selling our houses to non citizens would maybe be a help for prices. Like not having Chinese corporations a...

re: bold, :wat: thats not how heat pumps ive ever seen work; they share the same a-coil and the refrigerant cycle is just reversed. You also say "both systems" um, do you have 2 outside compressors? If you only have one compressor and have seen this with your own eyes you have a highly un...

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...
