scuz posted:YES! Ahh, poo poo, I remember this. Thanks, dude. Gotta love the use of a color-based question to thwart photocopied game manual piracy  I played Street Rod II, I could get to the King fairly reliably but could never beat him. I think I managed to get through to the Mulholland race against him once, and got pulled over.

It is very apt, and my kid has definitely been an easy one to keep in line. She's also convinced that just sitting in my C10 is just about the greatest. Can't wait to actually drive her around in it at some point

I'm all for going to the optometrist regularly (hell, I've got two in my family) but I'm done buying glasses through optometrists. My vision insurance coverage is loving laughable at how little actual coverage it gets me; a set of glasses from Zenni are cheaper than my after-insurance rate through any major chain. I spend far more on premiums than I save in the optometry visit, too. So, AZ goons, everyone still in one piece?

The downside is that you'll have Walmart techs installing your tires, who range from "competent" to "barely alive, let alone conscious". You can have Walmart install TireRack tires too, though I think they just recently upped their install fee for this. If you have a Discount Tire / America's Tire nearby, they're very difficult to beat on price or service. 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?

mafoose posted:Woah. I don't know how big your place is, but I think I spent around $400 when we initially bought the house, and I think it's $75/year. I think it's through terminex too. Not all that big (~1400 sq ft), treatment is through a company our regular pest-control (which doesn't do termites, I guess?) recommended. I guess the $6xx one would cover two years, $8xx would cover five. I'm thinking I might get a second opinion from Terminix or someone else just to have another reference point since I doubt your place is any smaller than mine.

I also injected it under the concrete slab of my porch. poo poo is nasty though so you have to be careful, I had some splash on to my face and it made my face numb for a few hours lol. Tempting thought, but the ground here is rock loving hard so that's a hell of a lot of labor. Did you have to drill any concrete / what did you patch it up with after drilling if you did?

InitialDave posted:Right, this VW diesel thing. 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. Skip-shift is an interesting comparison, but the conditions required to trigger a skip-shift are broad enough that they can be encountered during normal driving by many people. It's also very obvious when it happens, you even get an indicator light. If you could only trigger it to skip by driving in a very specific EPA-test-only manner, maybe it wouldn't have passed. It also did nothing to the mapping of the engine, it simply forced manual drivers to do 1-4 instead of 1-2. I would love to find out more about what exactly was required to trigger this EPA mode, and what exactly it did to the car while in this mode.

InitialDave posted:You can bet there will be now! The lovely thing is they'll need to make that verbiage extremely clear - a car that massively neuters itself only when specifically being tested by the EPA is bad, but you wouldn't want to also make other forms of adaptation illegal. I guess when you have to have a standardized test, you will always have people designing for the test, and this is just the most egregious form of it yet. We've already negatively experienced it by the fact that the US largely lacks start/stop on non-hybrids because it doesn't show a benefit in the test. trouser chili posted:Never did I think I'd be happy to say I traded my TDI for a Honda Odyssey. I wonder what the long-term impact to owners will be. It seems like this would be a recall you don't want, since there's going to be at least some negative. Either the car is going to perform worse (reprogramming only), or they're going to add some sort of urea injection (more expense / maintenance), or both. But yes, you probably made out pretty well not taking whatever hit TDIs might get in the used market thanks to this.

Goober Peas posted: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. Continuing this, Jalopnik / Consumer Reports seems to indicate that the programming kicked in as part of the same mode that lets them test on a two-wheel dyno. So unlike skip-shift, the trigger that would allow this (enable dyno mode so the car doesn't freak out seeing zeros on the rear wheel speed sensors) would never be seen in any actual driving. That's a remarkably simple trigger, and one that the EPA can prevent from ever working again by doing all tests going forward on four-wheel dynos.

Geirskogul posted:I bought these. I know people say that the bus needs "C"-rated 8-ply tires, but the only ones I can find that fit are trailer tires with lovely tread patterns. I already have 205/75-14 car tires on there, and these are a real, non-chinesium brand, and whitewalls. I ran that exact tire in a 215/75R14 on my Ranger for the last year I had it. They were perfectly fine, though I ran mine whitewall-in.
