If it's for his X1/9, that's actually better, they're something like ET35 standard. Edit: I am wrong InitialDave fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Jun 10, 2017 |

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I really like driving this piece of poo poo PT guys. It's just mindless and I don't give a gently caress if somebody hits the doors.

Why does it have to be illegal for me to have wheels that extend literal inches beyond the actual body of my car? Once I'm not phone posting, I'm going to find a geometry calculator, because this is getting hard to visualize, and being able to doublecheck my assumptions would be nice before I spend $150 on half a set of E30 wheels And yeah, stock is 24/25mm offset for the Croms, depending on your specific wheel

Do we have a concrete cleaning expert here? Is there a coating I can spray on my driveway that will be invisible but keep fluid leaks from soaking in?

NitroSpazzz posted:Look up hydrophobic coatings, appears there's several on the market. Phone posting so didn't dig into them much... It's not Rhyno's driveway, I wouldn't risk something that changes the color/surface of the concrete. Especially for a pissing PT Cruiser.

It's not just the PT, the 6 was spitting transmission fluid all over the place from a bad seal. I just don't ever want to sit out there with a wire brush ever again.

Evenly coat the entire spot with used oil, making sure you get right up to the edges for a nice consistent colour.

Owwwww my back. Laid down sod out front to replace a stupid planter the previous owners put in that was just a nasty weed pit. Vibe was so weighed down that I bent the tailpipe backing up the driveway, lol.

Hopefully the sod takes, that stuff is a bitch to install. Looks pretty good so far though In non-wheel chat, either I've suffered a recent traumatic brain injury, or my clutch is on its last leg. The already mushy bite point has just become a gradient of unpredictable responses and metallic squeaking Also, this one very handsy guy comes into my work every couple of weeks and always requests me as his server. Last night, he very firmly grabbed me and sat me down with him for a picture with his arm around me, without asking or explaining until I was in the booth with him. I'd like to tell him to stop because it makes me super uncomfortable, but I got $60 extra in tips from his table for putting up with ~5 minutes of being hit on and occasionally touched nonsexually, so I guess that works out in my favor

A dude showed up to C&C in an pristine '90 Protege this morning and I forgot to take pictures. Reminded me of how much I love the BG chassis and how when I think of a small sedan it's what I always picture. Basically this but the paint was like a mirror and the interior looked brand new. Had some nice wheels on it as well.

Bicycle people, I call on you again. My wife has tried some new bikes and we're thinking of going that route. The two she likes best are: Diamondback HaanJenn Metro, $550 at REI which means we'll get $50 back at the end of the year (https://www.rei.com/product/108765/diamondback-haanjenn-metro-womens-bike-2017) Cannondale Quick 4, $500 at the local Trek store down from a normal ~$700 (here's the bike at REI https://www.rei.com/product/108565/cannondale-quick-4-bike-2017) The Diamondback has disc brakes while the Cannondale has rim brakes. The Diamondback is 1x9 gearing while the Cannondale has 3x7. They're both quite light and comfortable. Is there a reason to go with one brand over the other? Are the disc brakes a big enough enticement to pick the Diamondback?

I have the Corvette and bike when I want to go fast and have fun, but having an appliance-mobile is just great. I'd honestly kinda like having a Vibe. Toyota Matrix without the Toyota price tag. But both of them have gotten really hard to find in decent shape.  I have a friend who bought a base model Matrix brand new in ... 2005? Still has it, has really low miles for its age (75k last time I saw it, which was a year and a half ago). I might start asking her when she wants to get rid of it. The paint is trash and it's full of parking lot dings and has a bit of hail damage, but she's fanatical about maintenance and keeping the interior clean.

Vibe/Matrix is a right cool car. My ex bought one brand new (she wanted a fuckoff SUV but I talked her out of it) and it was fantastic. She promptly traded it in when we broke up and she bought a Nissan Titan.
