I have managed to gently caress up so much; nearly everything I've tried to do that's longer than a one-day project so far on the Spec Miata build. Class-illegal bushings purchased, stripped brake bleeder screws, missing seat side brackets, $500 belts that require $100-per-side, wield-in brackets. I even had to reposition the roll bar padding. Here's to hoping I can get my poo poo together in the new year.

What's everyone's opinion on a 4-year old Cayenne as a racecar tow vehicle (and DD) VS. buying a 4-year old top-engine'd "light" truck?

InitialDave posted:Did you get the V10 TDI Touareg in the USA? Yeah but I'm not interested in a 12+ year old car. I can pick up a 2016 Cayenne at the same price as I can a 2016 V8 tow package F150 - both will suit my towing needs, but I have a feeling the Pepper will be a lot more nice to live with.

Ninja-ish EDIT: ^^^ Yeah, my weekday mileage is around 4. I bought a used car as my DD in April of 2017 with 27K miles on it. 30K miles in Oct of 2017; it has 35K now. $100 oil change is more than a "normal" oil change, sure, but acceptable.InitialDave posted:I didn't realise they were that old now. Time flies by without you noticing... I've done some guesstimating but I don't actually know what the trailer will weigh. The trailer I'm looking at buying would be a 20'-er weighing 3500lbs with 7200lbs payload capacity. I expect the car to weigh 2500 lbs wet, and (the weakest part of my guess) there to be between 400 and 800 lbs of tools, accessories, and race equipment - jack, pancake air compressor and tank, hand tools, spares, pop-up, seat. That brings me up pretty darn close to 6800 lbs towing needed with my very-shaky guesstimate. The Prong Song fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Jan 3, 2019 |

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:So.... basically an rear end in a top hat with a blog that quotes what appears to be a pretty poor study. Yeah nah. ...are you objecting to the source, or are you actually trying to say that more people living in an area doesn't drive up rental prices?

Darchangel posted:Don't you hate when you like/love a job, but management spoils it? Sorry that you had to nope out to make it better. Could've been worse - you could have become management! My management team just decided to change how on-call is handled, to the point that I'm going to be on-call once every 4 weeks. They haven't really considered that that equates to being unable to leave town or be more than 15 minutes from getting to my laptop for OVER ONE QUARTER OF THE YEAR. For a whole $2000 extra. Don't you hate it when you order some specialized parts from an online company that you really need to get your build done, at the cost of over a thousand bucks, and they don't bother providing anything resembling a delivery date? Just nothing at all other than an e-mail receipt?

(Not always the worst thing, though.)

Is this not one of the best judgement calls you've seen? Just BARELY enough brakes and steering input to miss the cat, but not a spare MPH wasted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5cJd41EHPw&t=1005s

Rhyno posted:I have an end of service letter and confirmation number from Comcast with a final bill total of $45. When I moved state-to-state, years back, I cancelled my Verizon tri-pack service over the phone. A year later I get a phone call from Verizon, asking me if it's OK to transfer my service to the new resident. I said, "Transfer? What do you mean, transfer?" Yeah, they tried to charge me for 11 months of service at an address I'd moved out of, after canceling the service a month before I left and turning the equipment in. After much back-and-forth and paperwork-showing their best, GRACIOUS offer was to reduce the something-like-$1600-in-bill-and-late-fees to just under a grand. I ended up just telling 'em to gently caress off and to send it to a collection agency because they wouldn't budge. My credit rating took a hit but frankly, gently caress 'em.

tetrapyloctomy posted:That looks amazing. With four loving cats it would be wonderful for making both litter and cat-hair tumbleweeds go away. One more thing to design into the house we'll never build. We accomplished this by buying two Roombas. It works fine, despite having to empty the bins every three days.
