It's 90F and humid today and I want to kick a puppy because we don't have AC.

Us either. Was pretty sweaty at work because it just so happens that I had to MIG weld today.

Get a window a/c unit. Mine isn't in yet and I can't sleep any more naked

I took the dog to a giant 9 acre wooded dog park today where she ran around like a retard chasing squirrels and playing, and got her to jump in the lake and actually swim!

Then came home and had a phone interview.

Now just pounded a bowl of cereal.

:notbad:

Our poverty windows crank open instead of sliding, window AC doesn't fit. Fuck new york.

Talk to me about oil changes when you get original engine/trans vehicle to 405k miles :mindblown:

Why not try 14k miles just to see what happens? You have nothing to lose.

Car is not driven enough much anymore... also based on the values below it’s very close to being over. But yea.... now 14k miles takes over a year since my dad splits the miles between cars ... but maybe it’ll be my replacement vehicle since I can’t make up my mind

Got a ride in a CX5 to a friend's BBQ party this weekend.
-Really quiet
-Decent I guess interior
-Stereo wasn't bose and wasn't fantastic
-Ride was pretty horrible over shitty south Jersey tar snaked roads
-Accelerated to highway speeds fine with 4 of us in the car
-AC worked

I was really surprised at how bad the ride was though. Maybe because I was in the back seat. But I don't understand why you'd have a ride that rough in a CUV.

it was nice otherwise.

Which trim was it ?

A CUV is no different from a sedan as they all share platforms anyways. So if mazderp threw giant wheels on it, it would ride like shit.
So if you make something handle nice, you kill ride quality ... zoom zoom bang

Yep, that plus full passenger capacity weighing it down will really impact ride.

holy hell! you still have that car?! Amazing. I think 10k is a really fair thing to ask if using synthetics. I went to 5k intervals on the 2.0ts.

Yep, looks like it popped yet another Chinese coil. I hate non oem parts with a passion... why did I get them you ask ! ? Oem lasted 280k miles.... I bought a shitty set for $80 vs $280 for oem since I thought they only need to last for 100k tops :wrong:
