I've learned I'm passive aggressive nice. Your solution there is sugar free Haribo Gummi Bears. SO, in an effort to eliminate the squeaking in the belt drive in my Crown Vic, I bought both the idler and the tensioner pulley. Changed out the idler pulley first, since it's easier, to no avail. went to swap the tensioner pulley and realized that I'd managed to bu the "smooth" version of the idler rather than the tensioner pulley (tensioner pulley is 70mm, what I bought is 90mm.) Exchanged that with Amazon last week, eating $8 in shipping, for the correct one, Gates 38006. Well, Gates did NOT pay attention to ford's design. The Ford (and everyone but Gates') pulley looks like this:  Gates' looks like this:  Note the larger tapered depression in the Ford style part. that's important to clear the casting of the actual tensioner arm. You can't mount it the other way, because the bearing is offset, and the pulley will rub against the timing cover, making an awful racket (ask me how I know - this is, incidentally, why I now can't send this piece of poo poo back to Amazon, as it's scraped up but good.) I guess I will try to press the bearings out and swap them, then get a Dayco that's the correct design when that fails. I thought I could trust Gates. Fuckers.

Chiming in to say that Baby Driver did indeed kick rear end. The only part I didn't like was the writing for Jamie Foxx's character. Felt overdone to me, and a bit shallow. Otherwise awesome movie, great soundtrack, great driving.

Since my wife and I don't want to be financially obliterated by a minor emergency we're just going to keep watching the Sheriff's auctions for a seized meth lab and/or murderhouse.

I am looking at places that are about 2x my income because I feel over exposed if it is too much more than that.

I never really thought about the ratio but I bought a house 4.bit x my annual income but I put down about 1 x in equity. That's not terrible I think? And I want to do the sugar free gummy bears thing but I'd have to tell the people I do like not to eat them and why and then it'd spread and I'd probably get told off.

House chat: when I called a mortgage company to see if they could compete with my credit union the guy was surprised how low of a price range we were shopping. He didn't take long to try recommending we shop in the 3x or more salary range at which point I nicely hung up on him. At our max limit we would be able to afford it if one of us lost our jobs, with both of us working and having good jobs it'll leave plenty left over for vacations and race cars.

We did something similar, but since my wife is a Marine it was easier to get a loan for that since we didn't have much liquid money on hand at the time. We've socked away quite a bit of cash since then. We also did that because we're about to stop being a dual income household for the next ~6 months. Being able to have savings, take vacations, eat out when we don't feel like cooking is rad.

When I called the Credit Union about a mortgage they were the same way:  "What are you looking at?" "Houses in the 175 to 210 range" "With your credit you could go a lot higher, why not look at houses in the 300s?" "...because I want to be able to afford it even if things don't go 100% right forever and ever?"

In most of Los Angeles, $450k currently buys you an iffy 3 bed/2.5 bath with a non-permit addition on it to make it "4 bedrooms" and it'd be 20 minutes from a freeway entrance, or a 1 bedroom 1 bath condo near the freeways/cultural centers. I'm pretty glad I bought in 2003. That house Rhyno linked would be about $2m in the desirable zip codes here, and $1.5m-ish in lesser desired locations. The difference is the desirable zip codes will see 5% value loss in the inevitable Trumpcrash (assuming it follows the pattern of the Bushcrash) and the other places will lose 50+% because rich people still gotta go to work in the studios and it's good to be near them.

So, developing story in the local auto scene. Dude just got his car repossessed by the bank. He claims to have arrived home to find the notice in his mailbox informing him he was six months behind on his payments and had legally forfeited the car. Which was all news to him as he owned the car outright and didn't have an outstanding loan on it. He doesn't even do business with the bank that's on the paperwork so he is a bit puzzled as to why they would repo his POS daily driver. Edit: Ahhhh it was a 2006 V6 Charger, former police car. He believes they were after his neighbor with the 2016 Charger. Rhyno fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Jul 6, 2017 |

Some dude on GRM got a hell of a deal on a last generation 9-5 from a dealership, then found out the dealership never paid the auction they got it from. Auction repos the car right out from in front of his house, shitstorm ensues.

This afternoon I found a curly-haired terrier in my yard, he's a friendly pooch and freshly groomed. There's no collar. We gave him a bowl of water and the wife put a picture on the local Facebook pet group saying that we'd found him. We got messaged immediately and the family comes by. They asked how much they owe for finding him, we say "Nothing, nothing. We knew somebody was missing him." They insist, press some bills into my wife's hand and leave. We look at the money when we get in the house and it's three hundred freaking dollars. Guess it pays to do the right thing!
