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 ...

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.

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.

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...

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.

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 .
