The only good one I've ever been to is Ground Kontrol in Portland. The rest have all been expensive, lovely places.

Japfest was ok. I think they charge a bit much for entry, and while there was a good number of cars, a lot seem to be a variation on the theme of "lower too far on stretched tyres, then rev it up while parked and blowing vape clouds out the window".

Have any of you ever used a stop leak product that works? My experience is limited at best with the last product I used being 20 years ago and they were crap at best back then.

The fundamental problem is that stop leak is designed to gum up small holes. Like, say, the fine ports in your radiator and heater core. So either it's ineffective, or it first plugs the outside leak, then the holes you want coolant running through. In p71 news I finally get it towed over to my mom's (where my tools are) and ofc its loving raining. I'd grin and bear it but I don't want water getting in my exposed intake ports with the manifold off. Can't use the garage, because since I moved out she's put carpet down as a full floor rug and this is a messy job.

I've seen people here use old throw rugs, but they treat them as disposable and don't care how much fluid gets on them. Even then... Carpet has no place in a garage.

I can see carpet tiles being good. They won't have much effect on rolling stuff across them, but still offer some insulation/padding, and it's easy to change individual ones as and when you trash them.

I meant for oil, not water since I didn't originally specify what type of fluid. I decided last weekend to grab my Mini from it's winter garage and it left me a nice surprise.

The AC in my car took a poo poo like 3 years ago and I've just lived with it. Bought a recharge kit on clearance and gave ti a whirl. CHarge it up and when the compressor clicks on I can hear it leaking from the high pressure side. Should I futz with this repair myself or take it to be repaired? I've never used a UV dye kit to trace a leak but it looks simple enough.

Seat Safety Switch posted:What did that take to accomplish? I know I've seen people clean fresh-ish road paint off a bumper with WD-40 but I assumed that was because it was oil-based. Did you just polish it off? I softened it up with the Dr. Colorchip second step, then finished it off with some Goof Off, then a buff and polish. Cannot tell anything was ever on it. They were going to take it to the body shop next week, I don't know if the body shop would have tried to remove it, or just told them a respray was in order... IOwnCalculus posted:Carpet has no place in a garage.  I've had a pair of indoor/outdoor woven carpets in my garage for over 10 years. The runner goes in between the two cars during the non-Winter months and the large oval one goes in front of the shelves. The carpet makes it nice to go out there without shoes, and the runner is easy enough to move when I need to do actual work.

No, instead I had to find a goddamn bar that was actually open on a loving Sunday and thank God it was a loving brewery so I could carry out a crowler. Wait, WHAT? I thought Texas was bad - on Sundays, you can't buy beer until noon, and no liquor at all. The rest of the week, alcohol sales are 7am-midnight (Sat is 7am-1am). Bars can still operate 7 days a week, but last call is generally 1:45am, they can't serve after 2am, and all drinks must be consumed or poured out before 2:15am ("cups off the table"). Also, car dealerships have to close for one weekend day a week - either Saturday or Sunday. Carmax tried to get around that, but lost. We have some other weird restrictions. Some counties are dry, some cities are dry, some cities are semi-wet for retail (beer/wine only), sometimes only parts of cities are wet (for years, the city of Dallas was dry for retail sales north of I-635). There's a shitload of "private clubs" in Texas where they swipe your ID on a credit card style machine that prints up a "membership form" that you sign before you can order alcohol. https://studybreaks.com/culture/texas-alcohol-laws-cant-live-with-em-pass-the-beer-nuts/ breaks it down pretty well. Then you have some oddball places that got grandfathered. There's an old drive-in where you can order a burger and a beer to your car. Normally that's an open container violation, even if you're sitting in a parking lot (and possibly a DUI, depending on the cop - people have been popped for DUI when sleeping in their car just for having the keys within reach of them). That place used to be awesome, then the owner died and the sons took over. When pops Keller was around, there were always awesome cars and motorcycles there, daily, and it was loving packed. They officially banned motorcycles, unofficially classic cars are banned too if it looks like you may be congregating with others in the (MASSIVE) parking lot. Texas is weird. Queen Combat posted:Didn't Subaru have an "official" stop-leak for the EJ25? GM did for the Northstar; it's standard practice to throw it into any Northstar cooling system after doing the head gaskets (they're not an if, they're a when on the Northstar, much like Subarus). They're relabeled Barr's Stop Leak tablets. nice. About time. Pretty good chance I'm seeing A Perfect Circle in October.

Not barcades, but for classic games, the pinball hall of fame is literally the only good gaming in vegas (I hate gambling). There was a good classic arcade is Astoria, OR, but apparently they went under last year. Also, gently caress pollen. I want to rip my eyes out of my sockets and wash all the pollen out. Fuuuuuuuck. Also, my Kleenex budget is huge.

They take pretty good care of their stuff too. We have Barcadia here, but they didn't have that many games the last time I was there (aside from skeeball). The game side of the one in Dallas seemed more like a background than anything, though they do have a life size Jenga (which is cool as poo poo). There's another bar I used to check out occasionally that had several pinball machines, but the last couple of times I was there, they were unplugged. Staff told me they were having trouble finding anyone to maintain them (seeing as Barcadia and Free-Play have pinball machines, along with a few bowling alleys, there's obviously someone that maintains them locally - betting they just don't want to pay for it - cool bar otherwise though). nm, wanna go halfsies on a

Just finished painting my flat roof with sealant to try and stop it leaking. It appears that this stuff is like POR15 and I probably should have worn long sleeves and trousers not shorts and a T-shirt. just wearing gloves was not enough!STR posted:nice. About time. I have never been a massive Tool or APC fan but I love the new APC album. I only started listening to it at first because a song got into my discover playslist on Spotify last week and it has animated art on Spotify and I'd never seen that before.
