Larrymer posted:Guess the footage I was watching wasn't great. The Aston kissed it coming back on the track when it made the first pass and I wondered if that gave the Vette a slow puncture. He gained a lead initially from his better run off that corner but then poo poo went haywire when he missed the chicane. I didn't see the wall hit but makes sense when you saw the lack of front light on it. Thought I saw something where the team said he had a rear puncture, but all I could really see was the front left locked up and flat when he crossed the line. Yeah, I don't know the details for sure, it was tough to fully flow with the way they were presenting it...

Rhyno posted:I've been looking for cool cars locally, nothing has cropped up that I can afford or that checks the boxes. I feel that somehow this is an elaborate ruse to try to show that you did your due diligence before telling us that you really love the PT Cruiser and are going to keep it as your sole car. And soulmate.

Enourmo posted:Sooooo... 16s? Lol. I was looking at buying a new '87 or '88 Festiva (long time ago, I forget which one). I was pricing it out and comparing the worth of the stock 12" versus the upgraded 13" alloys. Eventually, I said "gently caress that noise" and bought a used Camaro instead. The only logical choice.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:I mean, I'll be happy when it gets here either way, but it's still annoying. OTOH, I guess that explains why I didn't get hit with any tax. Not sure what's going on there; googling the name that showed up on Paypal shows they're based in Michigan. I have no idea in your case, but over the past several months, I've seen that several times on cheap eBay crap. Order from a seller supposedly one state over, thinking shipping time should be quicker. Then, a tracking number comes quickly, but no tracking info. Several days later, there's movement and a couple days after that, it shows up. WELL after a package shipped from the next state over would arrive. From what I can put together, the sellers are mostly ESL and I think they do bulk ships from China, break the bulk, then "ship out from warehouse 'x.'" Definite bullshit.

Their business website makes it sound like they do their own rebuilds though, so hopefully the quality will be a bit better than your typical parts store reman.

My girl and I built a birdhouse with some scrap pressure treated lumber. I got tired of waiting for her to paint it and just nailed it to her playset with the Paslode. Sparrows in the spring. Boring. Just got new neighbors -- Bluebirds. Super cool!

Olympic Mathlete posted:I like how the wheels on that cost more than everything else on the bike put together. I just feel bad for the energy expended in ensuring a proper fade, only to be blown up by the rear wheel spokes being red when they should be blue.

Olympic Mathlete posted:I enjoy how few fixies I see these days, I'm glad the fad is over. I've got a BikesDirect Motorbacon single speed with a flip flop hub and sometimes I ride it to work. It's a nice challenge to make you pay attention to everything... your cadence, your stopping distance, how long it takes to clip out, etc. It's certainly not a fashion statement, bit it's good as a skill-maintainer.

Adiabatic posted:what in the gently caress BikesDirect sells cheap bikes with good components and slaps legacy company branding on them. The companies have often been long out of business or relevance, but still have name recognition (so their trademarks can be bought very cheaply). In this case, Motobecane. It is a single speed bike with a rear hub that can be run freewheel (allowing it to coast) or flipped to run fixed (where the chain is fixed to the front and rear gears, making the pedals turn all the time the bike is moving, no coasting). Basically, it's a cheap bike that I picked up to try for less than the cost of the SKS fenders that were on it. It's a p good bike.

ilkhan posted:Who cares? It's your money. Tell the first dude to pound sand and the sales manager exactly why you requested somebody else. Agreed. You have no moral responsibility to give a commission to the first person you spoke to. In fact, if your second salesperson was good, I'd just escalate to the general manager, burn the first dickwad and praise the second one. "Losing" the keys is complete bullshit.
