Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
How’s the back seat space behind you? Usable by a toddler? I love these cars.

Turn Signals Optional: Gberg’s M3
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...

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...

:plac: finds v2.0: Moar gold on the crangslist
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.

Carrera T (130-140k) I ran the ownership numbers too … cheapest is GR86 (duh) at $793 a month Carrera T is $2230 ...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
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...

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...

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.

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.

I’ve taken my toddler to rooftop bars. Just gotta go early is all.
The feeding schedule is tough but if you can work around that and bring a bottle then you can go nearly anywhere with them.
