Cars and coffee here is actually pretty cool because lots of rich people with exotics live in the area, so showing up with a Mustang is pretty lame in comparison. One time this dude showed up with a riced out POS e36 and parked between a Ferrari and a Lambo it was awesome.

Geoj posted:Given how cheap it usually is and how much damage comprehensive actually covers its silly to not carry comprehensive. My wife and I both drive cars that are 10+ years old and have over 150k on the OD, but it literally costs $10/month for $500 deductible/$0 glass comprehensive coverage on both. This. It's too cheap not to have it.

A friend of mine had lasik done and it hosed up her eyes, she has constant dry eye problems now and regrets having it done. There can be complications, so it's a risk just like any other procedure.

Not even needing that, just doing a clay bar then polymer wax just because it's easier to apply and remove. Along with the entire interior completely detailed being OCD about it with early onset arthritis, my joints are hating me right now. Time to find a good local mobile detailer.

ExplodingSims posted:Holy gently caress laying down pavers is terrible, terrible work. After doing the fence by myself I said gently caress it and hired somebody to install irrigation and sod. So many people saying oh you can do that easy yourself, well gently caress that for about $400 in labor the irrigation guys were in and out in four hours, and for another $300 more than I would have paid for five pallets of sod myself, the sod guy is coming in tuesday and doing all the labor totally worth the $700 total to save my back and sanity.

My son is scared to go to the Iron Maiden concert next week because he's worried about somebody bombing it. When he told me this I had no words.

InitialDave posted:That's a shitter. How are you going to play it? Tomarse posted:I hope you have explained to him how he needs to go there and to have an awesome time. I was kind of shocked when he brought it up to me because we don't really watch the news much, but it made me realize he pays more attention to it than I thought. The only thing I could come up with at the time is that it only happens in Europe so we'll be fine. It's sounds lovely but unfortunately it's pretty accurate, I can't imagine living across the pond having to worry about that poo poo going to every event.

InitialDave posted:We don't. I would never worry about it for myself. But when you have kids you worry about everything Tomarse posted:He will be fine. There will be security who will check bags or likely not even allow you to take bags in. Maiden will be great. I know, the chances of it happening here are even less than it happening over there. It's just sad that it's affecting my son to the point he felt the need to tell me about it. Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Jun 4, 2017 |

Anyone recommend a good low profile floor jack that leaves room to lift low cars? My 1.5 ton HF is too short/tall to use under my LS430, it fits under there but I can't move the handle enough to do squat. I'd probably be better off with a 2 or 3 ton anyway.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:Maybe get a couple chunks of 2x12 to drive up on? It'll only get you another inch and a half, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than another jack. The one I have is pretty old and has a hard time with bigger cars, it barely lifted my brother's truck. I think it might be time for a new one if I'm gonna be lifting heavy vehicles now. BraveUlysses posted:HF has a low profile steel jack that has really good reach I wonder how heavy it is  I don't have a garage, so I have to transport it between my carport and shed.....Could probably use a hand truck to move it though. Gonna go to HF and check it out thanks.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:96.8 pounds according to Harbor Freight's website. Jesus Christ. Yeah that isn't going to work, gonna have to go with lowest, longest aluminum jack I can find I guess. One of the things that pisses me off about mine is the bolt that secures the handle to the jack is on TOP of the jack handle and effectively takes up more than an inch of clearance, every other jack I've seen has it on the bottom of course.

SCA Enthusiast posted:I think the main trick is to only go forward with craigslist deals where the potential buyer is able to communicate in complete sentences. This, it's simple and the last five or six cars I've sold on CL have been pretty much headache free, although I chalk it up to selling mostly cars around 5k or less that are econoboxes and a few Miatas. I can't imagine trying to sell a WRX or something that has a giant ricer following with most looking for joy rides. Selling boring cars is a hell of a lot easier I would think.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:I have a huge yard and I much prefer electric. I have corded hedge trimmer (600w) that will mangle just about anything you choose to put in it's path and electric trimmers (battery and corded) otherwise. Electric garden tools really have gotten so much better over the last few years. I'm honestly surprised just how good even the cheap Ryobi stuff is these days. I'm considering electric lawn mower next but for a yard that takes a good 1.5 hours just to mow...... maybe not. I got the Ryobi mower and it's loving awesome. Way more powerful and efficient than I thought, super light and quiet. It's bizarre and I'm still not used to it yet but i love it. I'm completely electric now with all my lawn tools, never going back to gas.

Somewhat Heroic posted:I am getting the itch to buy a new lens for my camera to tinker with. It is a crop sensor Canon. I have a 50mm/f1.8 which gets a lot of action now. I am considering a pancake lens, the 24mm looks fun and cheap. I am wanting to mainly do portraiture and take pics of cars. Should I go that path? I am not ready to hurl $700+ on lenses until I master my crop sensor camera and equipment. I will one day like to go bonkers with L glass and a full frame camera. I just am not there yet. Get a 10-22 for cars it's perfect for that, and use your 50mm for portraits, wide open preferably for maximum bokeh.

Pham Nuwen posted:For portraits, you will generally want to go with a longer lens. I hear low 100s of mm focal length tossed around. I used to own a 135 2.8L, by far the best portrait lens I have ever used and I regret selling it.

nm posted:Re: Thunderstorms. Yeah, you'll have to drive those days. Just rain? Get a decent jacket and some rain pants or just drive I guess. Still at least 50% of the days better. The problem is in FL, especially inland, thunderstorms pop up at random during the summer and it almost impossible to predict. And it's not just rain, the lighting is horrible and kills people every year. Commuting on a bike during the summer in FL is dumb not only because of the brutal heat, but because of the unpredictable storms as well. I can't count how many times I've ended up at a 7-11 or something waiting out a storm in the summer it's a pain in the rear end.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:I have to laugh as the woman who just broke the world reord for kms on a bike did it all on Florida and is right now riding to break the the 100000 mile time record... 400kms a day. Yeah she sounds a little nutty doing it this time of year, pretty dumb actually when the other non summer months of the year the weather is perfect to do something like that. But no, lets do it at the worst weather part of the year! Bonus points for not getting killed by lightning!
