I need to check my expectations: Group of three go for lunch @ 1pm on a Saturday. Restaurant is reasonably busy. Stand and wait. and wait. Check #1 - how long is it reasonable to wait at a host station before being acknowledged before you just walk out? About 5 minutes later we are greeted and seated, waiter will be with us. Check #2 - how long is it reasonable to wait on a waiter before walking out? About 10 minutes later, we walked. Never did see a waiter.

IOwnCalculus posted:Homeowner chat: how much does it typically cost to do a preventative termite treatment / is it worthwhile? We've never done one (bought about 8 years ago) and have been a lot of the little bastards in the area recently. We got the house inspected and while they didn't find any indication that they've actually infested our house, they quoted us $600-$800 depending on the treatment we go with. Reasonable or assrape? Yep -- that's about right, and if they're in your area it's absolutely worth it. Part of that cost is for the policy to repair any damage caused by the critters. Expect another $100/yr to retreat the house and renew the damage policy.

I'm converting some VHS for a friend - found an episode of the Price is Right where the showcase prize was an '85 Biturbo. Of course the contestant loses, although it could be argued she won by losing.

Let me tell you first hand about the 2000 Ford Focus I bought new as a college graduation gift to myself. That Ford bought back in 2001 because it literally was falling apart. Literally. 13 recalls, random stalling, grenaded clutch, broken drivers seat, inop A/C and radio, leaking master cylinder, jammed seatbelt, suicidal interior trim, key eating ignition, door glass shattering when slammed POS that spent 36 business days at the dealership in the first 12 months. I bought a used 97 Miata after that debacle.

IOwnCalculus posted:I suspect there's probably a rule written to exclude any test-only behaviors, whether on every car as-produced or on specially built cars sent to the EPA, otherwise I'd agree with you. Especially when VW has not tried to refute this at all. Late to the party, but skip-shift is a straw-man here. Skip-shift games the gas mileage, and was deemed allowable as is the auto stop/start systems. The biggest problem for VW is they exceed the pollution standards in normal operation outside of the special test mode. Which is a really big deal, if they find the EU models have the same trick. We may just be watching VW implode. Goober Peas fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Sep 21, 2015 |

Buying anything over $100 on eBay makes me nervous these days. I've had P-P-Powerbook-esque experiences both buying and selling in the last 24 months.

scuz posted:Anyone have any AMC Eagle anecdotes? They've intrigued me since I was younger, and now that I can buy one like a Big Boy, I'm curious as to whether they're a nightmare to work on, or very rewarding as I suspect. This crazy motherfucker is an inspiration; popped a 6-speed manual out of an '06 Wrangler to replace the auomatic on an '83 SX/4. Find one of the rare 88 models that were Eagle Eagle Wagons.
