I invite people out to get trashed every year for my birthday. That way I control where I end up and don't have to go to some lovely burger joint with dirty counters.

Sweet, Cooper approved my rebate so I can go get those new tires mounted and I've got a handshake deal to sell the old tires for $100. That makes the new tires $144 not including installation. A good day.

I used to think Rolling Rock was good but I was 17 and a loving idiot so what can you do. I think Jack & Coke is the apex of booze even if I no longer drink it. IPAs are garbage beers for garbage people.

I've now owned like 8 Escorts across three generations and I will adore them and defend them until I die. Hell I want one now to DD because of where gas prices are going again. WARM FUZZIES When I was a kid Dad won the lottery. Not a ton of money but enough that Mom & Dad got totally out of debt (except for the mortgage) and had enough scratch to pay for a new car after a trade in. So Dad being the uber nerd that he was went for a brand new Japanese car despite being endlessly mocked by his coworkers. And while watching Stranger Things a near perfect copy of his car shows up and I just can't stop smiling as it's the car I learned to drive in. And what with everything Dad just went through it just makes me happy that he's around around and I can show him neat stuff like this. 1984 Toyota Camry Liftback. Dad's was all red instead of 2-tone but this is pretty much his car.

Somewhat Heroic posted:This seems perfectly sensible! My neighbor picked up a brand new one early in the summer for a pittance and he loves the thing. It makes fun whizpop sounds when he drives by my house even at low speeds. They are really good looking little cars that seem to be really engaging when driven. His family affectionately refers to the car as "Zippy". I think that when my beater Mazda6 finally dies I will get a used Fiesta ST for winter driving. The current plan is to sell the MS6 and probably the Miata for the ST and then in the fall of next year I will pick up a dedicated winter car. Probably an XJ Cherokee or if gas prices are insane again I'll find an Escort with as little rust as possible.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Have you actually sat in or drove a Fiesta yet? I was seriously thinking of buying a new Ecoboost Fiesta until I sat in the car and realized how small it actually is. And if you're going by just the front seats your Miata will seem bigger in comparison lol. I'm tiny dude! 5'8" and I just lost 42 (and counting) pounds. My good buddy has one and I've driven the poo poo out of it and I adore the car. I've wanted a hot hatch in this size since the Mk1 Focus RS debuted and I still remember how bummed I was that it never came to the US. And I love my Miata but I don't think I need to keep it in the long run. If it came down to it I'd keep the MS6 if possible but I just want to start simplifying my life a bit. I've been selling off tons of my nerd poo poo this year, time to do the same for the car stuff.

Man, my weight loss has stagnated and it was kind of bugging me until my friend pointed out that I've probably put on a bunch of muscle from lifting all the heavy things. Now I feel awesome again.

Might be selling the MS6 in the morning. Dude messaged me again and his offer isn't all that far from what I want out of it. When I told him I had a set of brand new tires for it I think it locked him in. And I'd keep the blizzaks for the Miata over the winter. Ugh, not sure I want to DD the mIata over the winter.

I've never run the 18 inch wheels on the Miata so I don't know how well that's gonna work. Bolt pattern is the same though.

That sucks MGS. I wish I had something more constructive to say but that's a unique situation and I don't know what else to say. Fiance told me today that if we want, we can move to a larger apartment in the next phase of the community when it's ready. It's only about 40 sq feet bigger but we'd move to an interior unit which would have a few benefits. A relocated mechanical room which would increase our closet space. A larger den area which would let me move my nerd space into a room with a door so nobody has to look at it but me. And the new design would offset the garage further into the building and with a shared wall it would mean I could potentially insulate the door and bring the temp up quite a bit in the winter. This would let me move the exercise gear out there and free up a ton of space in the actual apartment. New place is also all laminate except for bedrooms so cleaning will be a fair bit easier. And the new place will only be about $50 more per month. I think we'll definitely jump on this when it becomes available. New floorplan. I am told the entire left garage wall is insulated. So with a garage door insulation kit I can probably make it fairly nice in winter.

I am stunned. I called Comcast a few weeks ago to complain about my account not being changed and still be charged for services I had canceled months prior. I was also being billed for a Cable box I had returned ages ago and had a receipt for the drop off. Well I went to pay my bill today and they fixed everything, every change was retroactively applied to the date I had made the call and all the surcharges and fees were refunded to a point that my bill is credited and I don't have to make a full payment til January. I think I may have fallen into an alternate reality where Comcast has actual customer service.

IOwnCalculus posted:Nah, they'll just find a new and even more amazing way to cock your account up worse next year. WHen Comcast brought cable internet to town I had an account with them and I set up auto pay. They then billed me for TWELVE months at once and they just offered to credit me for the year instead of giving me my goddamned money back as i had fuckin rent to pay and poo poo. I told the CSR that and it may have swayed her to helping me a bit.

That last 10% though, those ones who have only been a franchise for like <10 years, or they have a franchise owner who is crazy about what he does, those ones, you get a Western Bacon $6 and eat yourself grumpy. I've had it once this year and my fries tasted like they were cooked in WD-40.
