Car Talk 4: Cars for the Poors

Yeah, I do understand. We went to :tits: dad's new mountain house in VA this weekend. It is in the middle of nowhere, no cell service, nearest gas station/store is like 15-20 minutes drive, but beautiful place. $130K furnished with 4.5 acres of land. I loved it, she was :notsure: ... we will probab...

Waxer's Haus of Wax

FYI. I'm doing this this year. https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/mayo-clinic-executive-health-program/sections/overview/ovc-20253196 If you are going to the MN location I spent two weeks there last month and might be able to answer some questions about the area. I hit the Scottsdale lo...

Waxer's Haus of Wax

Quick-ish health update for anyone interested. So, a couple weeks ago I went to my cardiologist and was to perform a stress test with EKG. They told me to quit taking one of my meds prior to the test, so I complied. Went in and failed the stress test. I could not achieve the required heart rate to ...

The kid lives in the candy store. When it doesn't cost you anything, you sample the wares. But this an excellent all-rounder and he does have towing needs. 13-18.

Brad's Garage, It's not easy being Green

Could you get in there with some brake cleaner and spray around to find where it could possibly be? We did this on the Meowta yesterday and found 2 spots that were causing my surging. When I sold the GTI to the guy and his step son, I told him it would throw a code for a vac leak but I could never ...

Car Talk 4: Cars for the Poors

This kind of crap has been my biggest issue with buying anything new. It's hard to justify it when other people are going to ruin the thing unless you never drive it. You just have to accept that 12 bucket method and 9 layers of ceramic coating are pointless for a DD. Cars get used... you can do 10...

Could be. Or it couldn't. Wife's sister just had twins. The misery is insane. It's all we hear about from her and my mother in law. Whatever.

Unlike you, the OP has actually DEALT with all of this, he doesn't just wake up with cold sweats at 2 a.m. and then say "Oh Coleman, it was all just a horrible dream." And yet he suggested it. When the power steering pump groans, take it in and fix it. You've imagined this 3 child thing t...

Buy the LS400. Strong like bull. You're going to fly out and help the man change a power steering pump because he's got 3 tiny humans excreting all over him on maybe 2 hours of sleep?

I'm still 5-6 months away from having to make a decision, but now that I'll have a 3 car garage the wheels are turning. Not to rehash too much, but I can't fit an infant seat behind my own seat in the GTI and you can't fit the two infant seats next to each other in the GTI because they're too wide,...

This sounds delicious

Basically the same as Honeygrow in Philly
My dad enjoyed it. Especially since there was one a couple hundred feet from his hotel. Beers at the hotel pool followed by Genghis Grill.
All of these dad activities are 5/7, would party again with Cale Senior.

It's Not Easy Being (a darker shade of) Green

It's sixty bucks. It's a lot better than wax. Plus it forces you to make the car as perfect as possible to coat, which is part of the value. How is it better than wax if it lasts just as long? I guess if you're going to make the car as perfect as possible anyway, sure...but I wouldn't expect it to ...

I was completely underwhelmed with ceramic coating on my ZR2 that spent its entire life outside. It really didn't last much longer than a normal wax. My :poorvette: however, was fantastic. I ceramic coated it once in 3 years and even to the day I sold it, it looked :mindblown: awesome. I've conclud...
