My rental mustang vert windows did not seal. Was a Le to return it for the 330e I had back in October. I’ve had about three of the previous gen, one was such a POS I returned it for the Mercedes I murdered the buck with in Utah. All three the rear windows didn’t seal, and I’m not talking a little w...

A good friend of mine just got promoted at work. He wants me to take his position as plant manager. Job upgrade incoming?!? What kind of plant? LNG Its a plant that is always on call but essentially never operates. I think its been used twice in the last 3 years. Downside is its all hands on deck w...

New house is around the corner from a high end shop with nothing but LOOK, Pinarello, Time, and Cinelli bikes. Lots of wallet draining eye candy and tons of great gear. Can’t wait to buy some shit from them. They’ve got one of these in the window right now. Pina has them on fire sale. It’s tempting...

Thanks dude! $350-400 seems to be the going rate for these bikes out here. Are disc brakes and 1/2x shifting things I could upgrade myself, or would they be more hassle/cost than they’re worth to swap on? Better to keep looking until I find something in this range that has them? I’m in no rush to b...

I don’t really know what something like this ‘should’ cost but it looks quite well maintained and will be robust AF. It’s missing some modern conveniences like disc brakes, 1/2x shifting but for commuting around, it’s not critical at all. If you ride in the wet, disc brakes do perform better. I dig...

I still have it. Last bike I shipped was about $100, might be a bit more now due to Covid price increases. You might be better off getting a local bike for a gym beater. Size may work, I’m about that tall as well. I have a shorter inseam though. 7.5 miles each way isn’t too far but you’re looking a...

Johnny, you still sitting on this? Is it too small for me? Just under 6’2” with ~35” inseam, 230-250lbs.. would mostly be used for commuting my 7.5 miles to/from gym. I think you shipped a bike to Desert before, what do shipping options and costs look like? Guys who bike, is 7.5 miles a reasonable ...

I'm casually looking for stuff. #2 gets removed from her cocoon in 2 weeks and I think shits gonna hit the fan with only one vehicle. Front runners are wagons of some sort, but I can't afford shit because of this dumb house. A Volvo V60 would be high on the list. I dunno. I like the CUV experience ...

I’ve driven your wrang, and thought it handled just fine. 20 years of tech and jeep really made strides! I think you still don’t quite get it since you’re such a two door sports car kinda guy, but it’ll click when you’re cruising in that buzz one day. It’s funny about functionality, because for you...

Anyone doing car related shit here or are we all breeding and or attempting to breed ?! :rage: I'm casually looking for stuff. #2 gets removed from her cocoon in 2 weeks and I think shits gonna hit the fan with only one vehicle.

Well the ID buzz is probs a year away … might be a nice derp mobile around town. But you guys road trip… and evs are not for road trips :dat: Maybe in 2-3 years it'll be different. I do like it. I like the ID Buzz. I find it confusing though. Minivans are epic road trip vehicles. But an electric ro...

Doing it right.
I usually owe a little bit. This year I expect to take it up the ass because I sold a lot of stocks to buy the house.

My second tax deduction should be applicable for 2024 tho.

Yeah I agree. It’s a bit annoying but it’s just a sticker. It’s unlikely to be perfect.

Lisa was in the hospital for 2 days because she was having steady contractions. She’s at 34 weeks so too early. She’s also got a placenta previa meaning the placenta is over the cervix. So it’s an automatic C section. Thankfully the contractions stopped and she’s back home. But man shit got real for...

Yeah it’s somehow not overly real until you can see them.

Michelle wanted to make a cute little valentines thing to announce the pregnancy on socials: https://i.postimg.cc/SX42pFD6/IMG-5063.jpg 12 weeks today, ultrasounds this morning all looked great. Was wild to see the difference between this and the 8 week one where she was just a blob/flicker. That’s...

Integrated stems look so good but kind of seem like a pain the ass given lack of any adjustability. I hope something you manage to try works out! I’m starting to get excited about my planned Ribble updates and subsequent gravel build. Anyone have much research into the current carbon wheels on the ...

STI was an old car that you could buy new. It had pretty massive turbo lag, a notchy shifter, hydraulic steering, and the gas mileage of an old car. To some people, that's unique and endearing, to others it's inefficient and slow. On a back road, it's not like the STI was going to get left complete...

It was entertaining to watch. NFL is a company after all, selling you a product.

The Madone is LAID out. Phew. I hopped on one while cross-shopping the TCR and that had to be the least comfortable bike I've ever been on. It's so long up top I probably would have needed a 52, but then the drop to the bars would have been enormous. Yeah a lot of the bikes seem to be going that wa...

Went to the local Trek store to put little dude on a 16” bike since his 12” balance bike is reaching its limit. Looks enormous for him so we might hold off for a bit. 14” bikes seem to be tough to find, with the more major brands only doing 12 or 16. I talked to the sales dude about a test ride. The...
