This seems really irresponsible behavior by both the cops and suspect.

With 2, you could still go either way (SUV or van) and have great utility. Most wagon's these days still don't have the space for a rear facing seat without impacting the driver/front passenger, which blows. If they still made the mazda 5, I'd push for something like that in your case. That said.. man.. even with just 2 kids our '15 odyssey is great. Loads of space for anything, and while not the most powerful engine in Honda's lineup, is still great and quiet/smooth. By comparison, our rental '18 grand caravan for a trip to New Orleans was hot garbage in every way. Good luck, no matter what.

I knew nothing about them. 250hp ain't much, but at a $30k buy-in with a 4-year warranty, it certainly looks the part. I was just talking about this the other day with my dad. I seriously don't understand how Buick even still exists tbh. I heard that the brand does really well in China?

Nah, I'm down in coastal VA now. I appreciate it though.

Looking at about 3k for the first couple days. I never say "zucchini bread" to people that haven't had it. I just tell them it's the most moist, delicious spice cake they've ever had, because it is. My mom will die with her recipe, because she's a dick and refuses to tell me the alterations she's made. Just like her spaghetti sauce. meatpimp posted:Super poo poo bout of luck there.

I knew nothing about them. 250hp ain't much, but at a $30k buy-in with a 4-year warranty, it certainly looks the part. It's an Opel Insignia wagon that's been tarted up by slightly higher ride height and plastic fender cladding.  Otherwise it has a decent engine (2.0 LTG turbo). I'm a bit annoyed that you have to get the highest trim to get heated seats, though. Oh, and nobody is buying them so the incentives are pretty decent. $11k off MSRP is pretty enticing. I can't imagine it'll be for sale much longer, sadly. Beverly Cleavage posted:Most wagon's these days still don't have the space for a rear facing seat without impacting the driver/front passenger, which blows. This is my main concern as my current GTI has this problem. If it doesn't meet this, then that's a deal breaker. My wife's Outback manages it just fine to have the rear facing kid seated behind the driver, even with 6'1" me driving. This thing sounds pretty comparable size wise but I've yet to get serious about testing it out since we're nowhere near ready for a 2nd anyway. It's just going to be a lingering thought until then.

Good man. I wired in a new socket I put in on the landing then replaced a dimmer that no longer dimmed the living room lights, a couple of hours later the new one failed the same way, turns out the only bulbs I have no spares of are on their way out. I had to replace 3 1000lm 6000k bulbs with halogen bulbs temporarily, the room feels dark and orange in comparison.

The Insignia has gotten pretty good reviews in Europe. Not as good looking as the Insignia with the plastic cladding and so on, but still cool. Certainly beats the CUVs and SUVs and does stand out a bit in the US.

During which someone hit and runned my father's car that he had lent me. Buckle in, it's not fun. Here's some HAUS progress  Paint finished, I was just messing around with how the flooring would transition into the bathroom and suddenly I'd used up 3 boxes.

I will reinstall it so it rests directly on the flooring and it should look pretty good. This room is the priority since it's where we'll be sleeping but I'm on track and should be able to knock out a could rooms by friday. This flooring has the underlay already attached.

Hope everyone that got hit has un/underinsured coverage because I seriously doubt the Cobalt's policy is going to pay on that (assuming it was insured at all/not stolen) and the cops' qualified immunity will indemnify them and their department from liability.

Are you doing something different there? Also, you probably know this already, but make sure when you lay it that the floor isn't tight against the wall, there should be a bit of a gap there. The baseboards will hide it. That built-on underlay isn't great but it's better than nothing. You might want to get a piece of thin underlay and try the floor with/without it and see if you prefer it with. A flooring store might give you a few sq/ft to try, or even if not buy some. It can make a pretty big difference. e: It also helps if your subfloor isn't perfect slidebite fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Dec 17, 2018 |

Rumor's of Honda going electric in the next couple of years, but unconfirmed. Also VW working on the ID Buzz, but I doubt that'll be big enough. Just seems like the perfect use case to me. Huge wheel base to throw batteries under, and if you can put the range to 150mi+, then I don't see any reason most families couldn't get one. We'll see what shakes down I guess.

T-Square posted:I definitely get "gently caress I need a Culver's burger" cravings, but Kopp's is the poo poo. Giant rear end burger and they always have dope custard flavors of the day. Also, re: fried cheese curds, Cousin's Subs cheese curds kick the poo poo out of Culver's, and their fries are better than anyone's too. I don't like Culver's crinkle-cut fries and I've never been a fan of 5 Guys fries. It's great to have options - Culver's is great to me though because they're all over the place. Can't argue against Kopp's or Oscar's though. Applebees Appetizer posted:Culvers burgers are meh. Their ice cream (custard) is really good tho. Still haven't had anything that really rivals 5 guys yet, haven't tried smash burger but it sounds like that isn't going to impress me either, oh well. The Culver's burgers that really take it up for me are the pub buger special ones - there was one they were running for a while that was built around pickled onions and beer cheese sauce on a pretzel bun (I mean in addition to the patty and stuff obviously) Also was introduced to Georgie Porgie's the other day and would do that again. Yay Wisconsin! There's a reason why we're fat!

Honestly that comes up like every month around here. Also...there are  four days left to get your Sheep Game answers in...I've heard from 35 players so far, which is short of my goal. The more people who play the better and more hilarious the result, so why not play? If you've never played the Sheep Game before, come give it a try!

They are technically great and no doubt its skilled driving but I get bored after like the third donuts around a thing with the back end inches from another thing, especially the slo-mo cuts. I can't stand slo-mo anyway, roadkill does it a lot too and ugh, it's so cheesy. The F150 is awesome so I just skipped to that to see and hear it.

Since we're under a slight time crunch we'll throw down some drop cloths and paint the window frames and doorways. Hoping to do that on Wednesday. My wife got the entire basement into it's second coat of primer and got the ceiling painted. So we're ready for finish paint down there and then all the trim. We might actually pull this off!

Cops should have never deployed spike strip in a res neighborhood that is against anything smart I know plenty of good cops. We just got a 5 guys and I have nothing bad to say but the price. And I know some Wendy’s are not good but local one is and the $1.79 cb deluxe is something I only treat myself to every few months but ya gotta just eat it the second you get it

Applebees Appetizer posted:Looks like he tried to avoid the strip, over corrected and lost control. Bingo. He nailed the strip (you can see it go flying up in the air if you watch frame by frame), but tires don't instantly deflate when spiked. That was 100% driver fuckup. Geoj posted:Hope everyone that got hit has un/underinsured coverage because I seriously doubt the Cobalt's policy is going to pay on that (assuming it was insured at all/not stolen) Even if that was the named insured driving, insurance generally says "lol get bent" if the incident happened during the commission of a felony. And if they're after you with spike strips, you dun' hosed up good. In TX, evading arrest can be a misdemeanor or felony - it's automatically upgraded to a state jail felony if you use a vehicle trying to get away. I would think most other states are similar. So there goes your insurance coverage. Applebees Appetizer posted:call my mom Probably caught a face full of dashboard and was dazed/concussed. Judging by the chiming with the engine still running, at least one airbag went off too.

So I don't think I need an excuse to go to a car show, but I'm trying to get some buds to go to Radwood in Austin next February the 23rd. As far as I know it's at Driveway Austin Motorsports as far as I can tell right now. So anyone in Austin or around there (I'm going from Houston) we can meet up for 80's-90's car whatnot. Entrance is ten bucks, to show a car (1980-1999) is $30. Kids 12 and under free.
