Re: Chop shop
Alright, an update since its been a while. I got a b6 audi quattro sport with thr 3.0 and 6 speed. Im chasing a lean run condition which is inversely correlated with engine load, and only on one bank. Reading the data and identifying the correlations are easy, but trying to figure out what would cau...

Re: The Chophouse
Mostly done with the bathroom in the old house, just some finishing touches now. Light, ceiling anf floor trim, window/door and we're done. Good riddance that was a fuck ton of work. I am not too happy with the finishing job once the paint was on, but itll have to do. It is passable. https://uploads...

Re: OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away
I graduated in 09 and it was pretty dismal. I was lucky to have had a wfh internship that I had continued from 2007, but I think employment was under 50% at graduation. That is probably skewed too since it was a pretty good school. I was making about 35k and it was enough to pay the bills and chuck ...

Bunch of my coworkers here in philly dont have cars either, but we are kinda NYC jr. Some also have cars that literally get used once every couple months. Tbh while weve been in the suburbs here my wife and I barely used our car(s), we walk everywhere. I take the train to the office and we can grab ...

Re: OT 20: rotisserie roller coaster
And like. I had to turn off 3 circuits to finally kill the power to the ceiling fan in the one bedroom. Turn any one back on and it would register hot again.

Re: OT 20: rotisserie roller coaster
I think it's about the same humidity wise, we may be slightly warmer, like a couple degrees on average throughout the year. I do wish the coast was slightly more accessible here, it's 3 hours plus depending on where you want to go. My favorite is probably the Outer Banks which are quite far, 6ish h...

Re: JP’s Family Truckster
Volt would be SICK for a suburban commuter. Charge at home, drive to the train station, and then drive home using no fuel. Yeah that would be ideal. Wouldn’t even need to charge it every night. A lot of PHEV vehicles are still pretty expensive. 1st gen volts can be had under 15k. There seem to be p...

Re: JP’s Family Truckster
I wouldn't hesitate to buy an older GM vehicle. It will likely run just fine for a long time, the main downside will likely be the interior will be kind of meh. That said, I'd rather have a 3-cyl Mini. They do seem to live up to their reputation as one of the least reliable vehicles :doe: The 3.6 h...

Re: OT 20: rotisserie roller coaster
Renting a house is nice, a lot of the beneshits but less responsibility - you're off the hook for repairs and such, worst case you have to mow the grass. I think it's a smart move, this has been the furthest from a buyers market I've ever seen. There are signs that it will get a little bit better, ...

Re: OT 20: rotisserie roller coaster
It's rare that I go to any restaurant these days and leave satisfied. Quality in both food and service everywhere has gone so far downhill where I am that it's easier/better to just cook at home. Yet prices are sky high and demand is still crazy (drive thru traffic at any fast food is constant, 40 ...

There are so many good delis in Philly. I have no idea how Wawa has so many customers here. Convenience and consistency.

Yeah, Wawa hoagies aren’t as good as they used to be. Sad! It's been downhill ever since they changed the chicken parm sandwich from white breast meat on a kaiser to chicken tenders on a long roll. spot on. This is also where the wife and I remember as the point of going downhill. Damn, its oddly s...
