Back when those were new, Lexus had a comparo that I went to -- they had all the current mid-level competitors from Benz, BMW, Lexus, Jaaaaag, something else that I forget. You could drive them any way you wanted to in a huge stadium lot. The Benz was surprisingly the most fun of the bunch, but that Jaaag... it was horrid. That model was based on the global chassis that we got in the US as the Ford Contour... and it was every bit as bad as a Contour. We used to see them pretty frequently here and I always pointed out the Contour Jaags because they were so obviously badge-modified only. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Jan 8, 2015 |

rscott posted:Um excuse me I'll have you know that the countour svt compares very favorably to the e36 m3 I'll have to take another look at the E36 M3, I never noticed that they were plastic rattleboxes that felt like they were going to fall apart at any moment. (I have looked at the SVT Contour on the used market, they're interesting for what they are, but they are not comparable to anything of quality, except for straight-line performance... and maybe the number of wheels they have.)

I don't think the comparison was meant as a current one, because while there are E36s still on the road, all the Contours have thankfully been returned to their base metals by now. rscott posted:You guys don't remember that thread a few years back when someone claimed that very thing?

fjelltorsk posted:i am actually really impressed by how intact the passenger compartment remains. wish they had let me have a peak in the footwell tho. With the new small offset tests, it looks like the companies are changing to more of a pointed capsule in the front, like a much wider F1 car, where the outside corner is sacrificial and the car gets pushed to the side more than crumple. Very interesting stuff. Also, after watching a half-dozen of the small offset tests, it looks like the tire/wheel combo factors heavily into the crush zone... every one destroyed the left front wheel, fully broke them to pieces... this seems to be a new crash behavior.

Motronic posted:It's way cheaper to leave a burner prepaid on a charger (or an extra dump cell phone on your account - most are like $10 a month when added) than to pay for a land line. Not necessarily always... I've had an Ooma hung off my router for a few years and it's been nothing buy awesome. Less than $3/month for taxes and fees and I have full landline functionality -- multiple wireless handsets all over the house, voicemail and caller ID from each of the handsets, etc. For a family, a landline (or landline-esque) setup is still a viable and worthwhile thing... common number to get in touch with us, as people or parents, and it's convenient. Edit: now that I re-read the second part of your post, it sounds like we have a similar setup, except mine's packaged and you rolled your own.

Motronic posted:Yeah, sounds like it. Rolling your own is a good idea if you care about international rates, because they are usually way cheaper. I'm also not sure you can port your number to Ooma, and you are dependent on them staying in business/not getting any more scammy looking. I ported my original number to Ooma without issue years ago. They just use Google Voice, so as long as Google keeps that free, Ooma will be around. Hopefully Google keeps it free, because it's been super-stable. The only thing I don't get with the cheapest Ooma package is names for Caller ID, it only shows the number, but the phones I use have a phonebook, so it's a one-time thing to add a caller's name.

keykey posted:That too. I get calls from friends occasionally saying "WE HAVE TO GO SEE XXXXXXX!!!" I usually don't know what the hell they're talking about, I youtube it and go.. Aaah.. heh.. ok. Although I'm not opposed to going to our local theater these days since they upgraded the theater with a beer/wine counter with appetizers, etc.. you can get a full on meal there now. Also, all seats were upgraded to essentially motorized lazyboy recliners with snack trays and and cup/beer holders. That's been our go to place for movies the past year. I haven't seen a movie in a theater for a couple years... and I primarily stream series from HBOGo or Netflix... is it heretical to say that a lot of the contemporary series have as high a production value as film, but with the extreme length (in relation to a 2 hour movie), they actually do a better job of in-depth storytelling?

Again, the practice is becoming somewhat less common, but even so, 30+ years ago there were no penis justice warriors bringing the horrendous effects of slightly diminished sensitivity to light. It's not like parents of that age were horribly mutilating their children, it was the accepted medical practice and was SUPPOSED to be better for the person in terms of cleanliness, healthiness, etc.

What did I miss, was there a deleted or edited post? As it reads, he says if you're 1/64th aborigine it would be easier to get services... hell, I'd say the same thing about the US... if you've got a percentage of Indian blood, that opens you up for a bunch of government dole. It's not racist, it's just the truth. Let's turn down the SJW sensitivity on your robot boxes, okay?

bolind posted:Also, meatpimp, didn't you order a set of PDR tools some time ago? What ever happened to that? Yep, got a nice set of about 30 tools this summer. It's something that you can see requires a "feel" immediately. It's definitely interesting and learn-able, but it takes completely open blocks of time where I can completely concentrate on what I'm doing and right now, those times are few and very far between. I need to get a random panel from a junkyard to practice on, I'm too hesitant with my own cars to be able to fully work things...

Easiest window to replace ever. You can probably even reuse the window rubber. Get a new window, wrap a long piece of strong twine into the window channel, put it around the window, get the assembly in place from the outside and slowly pull the twine inside, which will pull the sealing flap of rubber back inside with it, boom, done.
