Re: So I bought some useless junk recently...

We've been lettin' the CC action fly in the last week or so. A hutch to hide the automatic cat box. Cat shitter was in the guest bedroom but we sold the bed and are making it an office slash game room and don't want to leave it open to the cat when we are not around. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com...

Nice wagon! You should have tried to get a two-fer deal and buy that Elise also.

Barneys Track Car(MK4 R32).. How do i drive this?

Off the top of my head, in addition to ABS not functioning properly, any level of traction control is likely to just not work. I'm not sure how it impacts the Haldex system. On one hand, I know that the stock controller sends power to the rear based on slippage from the front, which I would imagine ...

free realestate? Was $4k over like 60 months or something stupid. Rather keep my money and give them $50/mo. I will say its my favorite mattress I've ever had and I dont sweat any more.

We both had king beds when we combined households, one with a Casper and one with a Purple. Both did okay through Texas summer. We decided to keep the Casper and are selling the Purple since we're turning our guestroom into an office/gaming room. Minor comfort differences in the decision, nothing yu...

Turbo Moostang rental review. Satisfactory powah. Will do triple digits to pass without a problem. Still a big footprint and I loathe that you cannot see the corners to judge where you are in a lane or pulling into parking. Exhaust note is a mixed bag. At some points, it sounded like a Subaru flat-f...

A step backwards from the Mk7 IMHO. Mk4 still keeps the crown as best looking (and sounding) one.

This update makes more sense here rather than in the house thread. Got some garage cleaning and organizing done. Amazed that we've been in this house six months and I've made a mess of things. Having these off the floor is great. Weight load is still on the ground, hooks keep them on the wall. Used ...
