That seems to be it, then. Normally after even just 5 - 10 minutes of idling the heater would blow nice, toasty warm air. Now it's basically lukewarm at best. Ah well, cheap and easy fix, glad I have you guys to point me in the right direction!

So Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans is on sale for $1.99 (Kindle edition only). I snagged it. Haven't started reading it yet, but hey, $2 for a day or two. Preoptopus posted:It also shorts out the entire circuit if used in tandem with the microwave. A microwave is pulling 1000-2000 watts on its own, depending on output (you can usually expect output wattage to be 60-70% of input). My own microwave is a 1000 watt unit - the data plate shows it pulls 1650 watts to produce 1000 watts. There's also a significant inrush above that when it first turns on as well. Most toaster ovens pull 1300-1600 watts. So that alone is 3250 watts, assuming similar units. At 120V, that's right at 27 amps, before factoring in the inrush current for the microwave. You're likely running that on a 15 or 20 amp circuit. Of course the breaker is going to trip. Preoptopus posted:In my state its illegal to drive barefoot. So the real skill is putting shoes on as fast as you can while being pulled over. Except it's not illegal to drive barefoot anywhere in the US? It's illegal to ride motorcycles without shoes in many states though. T1g4h posted:That seems to be it, then.

So that guy on craigslist with the beetle with "title in hand"? The one I've scheduled a time with a week in advance? The one I moved my work schedule around for so I could drive two hours to pick it up tomorrow 0800? "Can't find the title, sorry. You can still look at it if you want, though." Words can't express the rage.

Your response needs to be a little something that someone on a course I'm on told me: Drive to his house without him knowing and, after a suitable period of observation, find a way inside when he isn't home. At this point, produce the plastic bag of your own faeces which you have frozen the night prior. Distribute it all over his carpet, couches etc with a cheese grater and enjoy the festivities.

I'm supposed to be meeting a guy to sell a truck this morning and I had a 2 AM panic attack that I hadn't actually seen the title for it in ages. It turned out to be exactly where I thought it was, but I was seriously worried I was going to be That Guy for a good several minutes. Went ahead and laid hands on the titles to my other vehicles just to be sure.

Well crap someone wants to trade my 928 for a nearly completed R1 powered lotus 7 clone. I am very seriously saying yes and I would daily drive the hell out of 1100lb 180hp death trap. I would most likely die a very happy man wrapped around a tree. I'm waiting on photos and a list of what "nearly complete" actually means.

Renting in my town sucks. 99% of it is student garbage and every 6-12 months, when an affordable, reasonable quality home comes up, it's a shitstorm of 150 applicants and it's off the market in 30 minutes. I'm top of the list for one now, but they want a year lease and I might be getting a part or full time job offer in a different city the next few months. My current place sucks balls and my landlady wants to move back in soon, so I need to find a good situation soon, but the liability of a lease is huge.

I am dealing with the exact same bullshit right now, except for the fact that there are plenty of nice houses around if you want to pay $3k+ a month for rent. I keep seeing the same people at all of house showings I go to, and they all keep showing up before their appointments. Nothing better than setting a specific time with a realtor and having 3 other couples show up early and monopolize the realtors time and then leave before me so they can get their application in first. At least I think we beat them to the punch yesterday and should have a house secured, just waiting for the realtor to get back to me with the final decision. More rent than I would like to be paying, but at least we like the house and location. Worst part is there is no garage, and I have no idea wtf I am going to do with my celica.

Terrible Robot posted:I would offer storage space but I'll probably be having to find a new place to live in 6 months and will be in the same boat wrt Celica storage. Thanks, but something tells me the shipping from seattle to where ever you live would make it not the best move. The house has 1 off street parking spot, but I am concerned about pissing off the neighbors/realtor by parking it there. The lot next door was split into 2 semi townhouse things, so the house I will probably be renting and both those houses share a driveway, so the car would be kinda right out in the open. I am probably going to do it anyway, and just get a car cover for it. Worst case some friends rent a house nearby that has big fenced in parking lot, so I can prolly pay them to let me park it there. I think I have a buyer for my e30, thanks to my brother. I really just need to bite the bullet and sell the celica. There are a couple nice AW11's on CL that I would rather have and sink money into.

Phone posted:Google Drive loving sucks. Our dearly departed catte, a 25-lb tabby named Gromit, had a protective streak in him. He was an indoor cat mostly, but he would come out in the yard if we were doing light yard work or something. The neighbor's harmless, dipshit dog Chopper (big, fat beagle mix) came trotting up to say hello and Gromit immediately went into "GET THE gently caress OUT!" mode, got down as low as he could, ears back, fuzzed his tail, and charged that dog. Once he took off, all I saw was a trail of leaves flying and his tail sticking up. Chopper ran for her life and never set foot in our yard again. This is the same cat that was laying in the sun on the sidewalk one day, when a chipmunk (being toyed with by our other cat) actually ran into his fat rear end and he just looked at it and did nothing. He just watched it run off into the brush, the lazy gently caress. I miss fat boy

BraveUlysses posted:if anything you should dump the celica and keep the 318 for fun. Honestly I have thought about it. I have all the parts to fix the body damage, the clutch is pretty much near, the tires are new but the suspension is pretty worn. Some new struts/springs/bushings and it would be pretty well setup, but then I would start thinking of motor swaps. What it really comes down to is I just want another aw11, I know its not the best car ever but I love them too much. After my last 2 aw11's were totaled I went got a different car that is well regarded. First was my 91 miata, which was a great little car but I ended up getting a killer deal on a aw11 and I never drove the miata again. Even on nice sunny days, I was out in my black on black mr2 dying in the heat while my white miata just sat in the garage since I would rather drive the mr2. When that one got totaled I ended up getting the e30, which I really did enjoy and was amazed how nice it was to have back doors on a car after driving 2 seaters for so long. Now that we have a JSW, having a sedan fun car doesn't do me any good since the wagon is way more practical, so I might as well buy another 2 seater. I have been tossing around the idea of buying a s2000, but I don't like the attention they get from cops/other drivers. After driving the girlfriends dad's e36 m3('98? low miles ultra violet with vaders that he is making perfect), I started thinking about buying one but again they get more attention than I like. Also have been thinking about first gen rx7's since I have always loved how they look, but rotarys scare me. Or maybe a sw20 mr2 or mr2 spyder. Or maybe another miata, mine was dead stock/worn out so that might have tarnished my thoughts on it since it was being compared to nicely upgraded aw11. To many cars that I would like to have.
