Fucknag posted:I've never heard of being able to buy pads for a single wheel, I'd imagine it's a full axle's worth, ie 4 pads. Unless something's really weird on your vehicle (miata? i forget what all's in your stable) Yeah, every box of pads / shoes I've ever bought has been an axle set.

some texas redneck posted:48k is something to be wary of? No poo poo. Aside from the K24, the transmission is the regular Hondamatic that they sorted out years ago, and while the TSX is nicely equipped it doesn't go overboard on gadgets that might fail like a Mercedes or BMW. It's a badge engineered and loaded up European Accord Wagon.

mariooncrack posted:That's good to know. I think I'm going to go take a look at it later this week. Anything that I should be wary of on these? I've never owned a luxury car before. Honestly, nothing. My brother-in-law had a TSX sedan for a few years and the most trouble it ever gave him was I think some speaker issues - though I can't say that wasn't user over-volume induced error either Like I said, it's not a luxury car in the same vein as anything European, or even a high-end Lexus. A regular Accord with all of the options checked will be extremely similar in features, just in a bigger car with an H on the front instead of an A. You're never going to have to deal with GOD drat COOLING SYSTEM, vacuum-operated anything, timing chains on the wrong side of the engine, etc.

How many letters does your state allow on plates? Is "ODIFRUS" available?

Live sports is the big reason to keep cable these days; if you can do without that in one way or another then you're well ahead by cutting it.

One other huge benefit of Hagerty - you get to skip the emissions test. InitialDave - the big insurance companies tend to treat classics much the same way as they treat regular cars. If anything they treat them worse since in their view, old = worthless. I'm not aware of any of the big-name auto insurance providers that write a decent classic plan. Hell, I think Geico just tells people to go to Hagerty. The smaller guys like Hagerty that specialize in it, actually get the value of the vehicles. They do place some limits on how the vehicle can be used (some providers require mileage limits, some require type-of-use limits) and almost all require a minimum driver age of 25. It also gets hilariously cheap to add another vehicle to it... you know, if you feel the need to go a bit more Jay Leno. IOwnCalculus fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Jun 6, 2014 |

Do post up on how well that works if you build it.

Is there no RV storage you can rent a space from anywhere near by?

Friar Zucchini posted:This happened Saturday night. Started it Sunday morning and it was still ticking. Started it again Monday evening to show it to the tow truck driver and it sounded like... uh, a tired old small block. Totally goddamn normal. So he just drove it up onto the ramp and I parked it at the shop as if nothing had happened. Three days in the shop and they tested every goddamn thing and said they scoped it (guessing that means sticking a camera in it or something) and drove it 44 miles and came up with exactly nothing wrong with it apart from too much oil.

That looks like a lot of the same hardware that's on my smaller / older Costco compressor. It has to refill after taking off one wheel's worth of lugnuts with the IR rattlegun I got off of JnnyThndrs, but it refills quickly enough and hasn't ever complained. It did develop a minor leak somewhere in the manifold / valves when I wasn't using it for a long time... and then fixed itself when I used it more often than once a month for a while. Don't know, don't care.

I bought an Evo 3D because of the shutter button. Sight-unseen, of course. Problem was, the butter's actuation was so loving stiff that taking a picture using it guaranteed you'd shake the loving phone. loving HTC.

We don't get anything approaching a proper ute up here anymore, but there are plenty of people who would like something that has an open bed with the driving dynamics of a car. Now, whether that thing is any good, is another story.

Yup, but it's not like you can just park your car and go watch for most of that time either (not that watching 14-second+ cars is terribly exciting). You'll spend most of the hour inching forward like it's I10 in Los Angeles.

trouser "13 Inch Biturbo" chili Godspeed you glorious bastard. I've come close to making some terrible/awesome purchases this past month; the first I just plain didn't move fast enough on, the second I got cold feet because the seller went unresponsive.
