everdave posted:What are you looking for in a vehicle? Looking at a $9k 9 year old vehicle I'm kinda wanting to suggest you look into putting 5-9k down on something new in the 15k range. The big things are AWD/4WD and either an SUV (preferable) or a truck. My real preference would be either a Subaru or Toyota but in my price range those tend to have have LOLMILES. This MKX has about 90k vs. upwards of 160k on some of the other stuff I looked at. Like I said, this is replacing a 98 Accord and on a considerably earlier timeframe (by a good 1-2 years) than I was hoping so I'm actually going to be financing up to $10k with between 1-2k down (depends on what we end up with after the Accord's totaled out). Also, I prefer buying used vs. new.

$2300 (after tip) and 12 hours later, the majority of my things are now in the new house! I have no loving clue how I managed to move everything by myself before... It took 3 very large dudes plus myself and a whole lot of pain to get me into the new place. Granted, when I did it solo, I moved a little bit at a time over the course of a week, not everything in a 12 hour sprint. Most of the stuff came straight off the truck and into the garage so I'm still gonna have to move it in later. But it's done. Utilities are all set up, and I'm ready to get comfy. Last night, I even got to sleep in my own bed for the first time in 5 months!

 I found this thing on the road, so i took it, naturally. It's got a gearbox inside and a bunch of spiders/hornets. What is it, besides cool?

Specifically for a center console boat. Its pretty close to the one on my flats boat, minus the (terribly cracked) windscreen and throttle controls. And storage cubbys for radios of the "mayday halp" and music variety.

Has UPS and fedex gone up in price recently in the US? Ordering parts from the US to AU right now and it's even more pricey than usual. Two little suspension links* are $80-90 shipping with UPS. In the past I've got medium size boxes from pelican parts for about $55 fedex. Also I often used FCPeuro because they were $40 UPS (and even only $70 for a huge heavy box with 4 control arms, sway bar links and steering - a full front suspension rebuild). Now fcpeuro want $90 US for two little rear pitman arms sent through UPS. Pelican parts aren't even offering fedex shipping for them, just $65 USPS. Best deal I can get right now is a bav auto and it's still $57 USPS (or $90 UPS) The parts are cheaper there than pelican anyway. So have prices gone up generally in the US, or have these shops just got a new bad deal with couriers for international freight or something? * I can buy from ebay or local or other shops in europe for ~$20ea but they're all generic ones. If I want lemforder or meyle or a brand name for ~$30-40 I still have to buy from the US, (or local dealer OEM which would be $150ea) Fo3 fucked around with this message at 09:53 on Sep 20, 2017 |

Catching up on AI project threads is always a great reminder why this forum is so amazing. Trucks in a field, ridiculously huge motors in small cars, mindblowing metal work on an old van, Audis stacked in driveways, Jeeps of all kinds in various stages of disrepair, unexpected four door American muscle, Corvettes and Type R Integras, Ferraris and Lotus Europas, MR2's, enormous piles fo RX7's in a garage or in a field dependong on location let alone WRC.

23 years ago I had a cassette tape of an album called "a real live one". 3 days ago my kid said he was afraid of the dark. For the last 3 days I have been going insane with the remembered song "fear of the dark" - solos and crowd chanting and singing with everything that makes it superior to the studio record version IMO. I haven't been able to get it out of my head, I remember it all. I just had to listen to it again, hoping it would put an end to the madness in my head and put it to rest. Now you have to as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlwANsLSaJk

Is anyone familiar with or have contacts with the Key Largo/Tavernier area? I have a friend down there who has lost everything and I am trying to get him supplies. Literally nothing he needs is available at the WalMart for me to purchase and him pick up today. Please let me know if anyone knows of anyone or resources, etc...

So I'm on a consultancy trip to another plant in France with a bunch of randos and the Russian continent have bought a translator with them and she's the cutest thing and pushing all my buttons so I'm trying to reign in the creep and focus on work, then she went and asked for my room number earlier which I ducked, then she mentioned really wanting to see the privilege suites (guess where I am) and we managed to convince the Russians to go to one particular restaurant and we went elsewhere and she said she was disappointed not to join us and why do I find Russian accents so loving sexy? Basically why did life wait until I was very happily married before it started throwing gorgeous women at me? Most important though hire car is a diesel manual fiat 500 with the worst throttle response around town.

It's simple. When a person is in a relationship there's zero neediness. Like how you ducked the room number question, that is the opposite of needy. Would you have done that as a single man lol

It's a well known factoid: Stick a ring on a man and he becomes irresistible to women. Stick a ring on a woman and she becomes invisible to men.
