OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away

Yea there are about 3X as many homeless in SD over Chalotte. But I'd venture to say they are isolated to certain areas ... tends to always happen that way for ease of drug use. I guess that's the downside to the epic weather. Lax policies and liberalism more so than the weather. Our state is very F...

Remodeling costs/finding a contractor etc

For those of you that have done a major reno, can you share some guidelines? And how you went about doing it? Given the price of real estate around here and the lowerish mortgage rate, it seems cost conscious to do a remodel vs buying a nicer property. I have seen something around $450 a sq foot out...

OT 21: DFD Giveth and DFD Taketh Away

Have to agree with this. To add insult to injury the cost of a decent hotel room has tripled. Thanks for sharing, y'all. We have discussed visiting SD on numerous occasions, :tits: has never been. She is more and more uncomfortable in big cities, around homeless, etc. for some reason. It's funny, s...

2024 plac thread !

I may end up on this list. So tired of the old POS. I drove a Carnival yesterday and honestly liked it quite a bit. It was the LX "with seating package", and for being a total poverty spec it had everything I'd ever need. The only thing it was missing was a power liftgate, which is pretty...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

The single screen minimalism bs? Yes. Regardless of people saying you get used to the control layout, I just find it heinous looking. Yea... the singular screen is not my favorite either. I can say that the center screen and tesla UI as a counter point... is superior to any other car infotainment. ...

Theoretically speaking... outside of the "noises" what makes an M3 superior.. they are the same size and weight. And arguably the Tesla has far better weight distribution and weight balance for a "sport" sedan, so in theory it is dynamically superior. And it doesn't come with BMW...

Cars generally don’t appreciate regardless of inflation. Especially mass produced VWs
but the money is de-valueing.
