Applebees Appetizer posted:No way I would drive a Kei truck/car on public roads they are loving death traps. Yeah an old cheap F150 isn't the safest vehicle, but it's gonna have an airbag and not cripple you in a fender bender. 1) that's a Chinese car (not that a Japanese one would hold up just a whole lot better 2) jokes on you! A JDM Kei will have the steering wheel on the other side - problem solved (unless you're the passenger...) 3) every motorcycle ever made from the dawn of time until now has even more risk associated with operating it, and people still do so. 4) Automotive Insanity opengl128 posted:I saw a first gen Intrepid the other day on the road and stared as I passed it like it was an exotic. Something definitely wrong with my brain but it has been probably a decade since I last saw one and it was looking really cool? Is this what boomer brain rot feels like? It's not that they looked bad, per se, it's that they *were* bad. It is kind of an achievement for one to have survived this far. Ether Frenzy posted:Hey Kaker or Dave - I need some OEM keyblanks for a 1992 Miata which seem exceedingly hard to find in the states, any idea if these are something you can get through your importing connections? The one original I got with the car has a crack in it and isn't safe to keep using. Should be the same key for pretty much any Mazda of the Era, including RX-7s. Sadly, MegaZip doesn't do OEM Mazda parts -I was able to find a wealth of parts there for my Toyota AE86 Corolla. Two Mazda dealers with parts departments online show the keys in the Google Ad results, but they're search on their site (both use the same back end...) don't search earlier than 2006 or 2015, depending on the site. That said, Mazda part # FD0176201 has been superseded by FD0158492. It's supposed to fit, but that is the round-head later key, apparently. I guess it fits, but it cosmetically different. LAY276201 is correct, but it's the plain key without the rubber on the head. LA0276202 appears to be the valet key, and also plain. everdave posted:Have you been to/have access to a small hardware store in your area that does keys (not lowe's or anything). I do and have no problems getting keys made for early 80's and 90's Japanese imports. I bet somewhere like that would have something that works. I have never owned a Mazda until a fire truck I bought recently and it won't be here til march or April so I haven't had to go see if they have key blanks for it. That one is the LAY76201. The hardware store isn't going to have OEM keys.

Completely unrelated: How terrible are those ventless combination washer-dryers? If they're decent, I would like the reclaimed space n my garage. If they're terrible, I'd rather not spend $1800. I'd rather not spend $1800 on a washer-dryer at all, if I'm honest, but the wife asked... I figure that there's just more stuff to break.

We could hang, but my wife complains about dust or pollen or something, then erects the goddamned portable clothesline in my garage. Whereupon they get dusty from, you know sawdust or grinding dust, with the added bonus of being massively in my way. loving hell I want a workshop. Or a laundry room. Preferably both.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:can you not stack a washer and dryer in the garage? Pretty sure that the upper one would either be too high for my wife to reach comfortably, or, if I remove the drawer pedestal, the lower one would be too low. Also, I just finished putting cabinets up and I don't think a stack would fit. Ours are full-sized Whirlpools. I actually have a solution for re-arranging - it was just an idea floated out when my wife discovered the existence of the all-in-ones. I already told her I thought it would be crap, but would ask knowledgeable folks (that's you guys.) Also, stacking them still doesn't get them out of my garage.

Rhyno posted:Holy gently caress! One of our engineers has a huge scar on his face from a wire whip years ago, it makes me want to wear a welding helmet every day. My beard is pretty long now (basically seeing what it will do now) but is definitely not a part of my identity or something. I wouldn't have let it get this long if I were working around machines every day. As it is, it's probably going to get whacked when it starts to get warm again. Also, I try to keep it groomed and clean. I wore glasses from 3rd grade, so a lot of the time didn't have to think about safety glasses - sort of had them already, right? I know that they weren't "safety" glasses, per se, but I've almost always had polycarbonate lenses, so some protection. I got Cataract surgery and LASIK last year, though, and now I have to remember to get my safety glasses/goggles/facemask. I *want* to. I spent a lot of money to not wear glasses all the time - I'll wear the PPE some of the time to keep that! Not to mention my hearing, lungs, etc.

I want one (or a pickup) because I occasionally do truck things - cargo, and pull trailers.but so far, not enough to step away from my sedan (which, since it's a Crown Vic, isn't all that much better in terms of size or mileage...) At least I have enough confidence in my driving abilities, to paraphrase the article, that I have few concerns about driving my little AE86, or, when it's running, my '79 RX-7. There is no denying that I like the power of the V8 in my Crown Vic or Cutlass, for sure, though. The Prong Song posted:While true, you just know that's not going to happen.

There were 9 other feedbacks like mine with the same problem but I couldnt leave feedback since it was way too late by the time I found out how bad the part was. Were these sold as new or rebuilt? That would definitely be a problem. And, as far as I know, you can leave feedback for some time after the sale.I don't leave feedback until I've verified the item, and sometimes that's a month or better. And sometimes I flat out forget to go back and leave feedback, so do it later when leaving it for someone else, too.

Or at least according to what I've seen, which was on the internet, so to be taken with a grain of salt, but it definitely feels like Dems are close to where the GOP was, say, 30 years ago, and the GOP is starting to infringe upon Stalin's territory.

Why the gently caress do you need a house phone? I still have one connected to an Ooma VOIP, but the Ooma box recently decided its Ethernet port no longer worked. So, basically, I have the equivalent of a Google Voice number. Never rings at the house, but we get the voice mail notices. And it’s finally been long enough not giving out that number that no one has left a voice mail for months. We still use that number for emergencies and bill collectors, though.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Makita is better quality and more expensive than Ryobi. That’s basically my view on it. If I were a pro, my tools would be Dewalt or Milwaukee or some such, but the Ryobi stuff is holding up fine for homeowner stuff. It doesn’t hurt that you can buy the older NiCad tools and use the LiIon batteries with them, making used tools viable. Almost all of my Ryobi are the old blue tools. I bought a big set on eBay a couple years ago for cheap.

It's sort of my wheelhouse. That's reason enough for me. jonathan posted:One nice thing about Milwaukee is that high quality cheap Chinese counterfeit batteries are plentiful. Ryobi off-brand batteries are also plentiful, and about half the price. I've had excellent results from the pair of no-name 5.0 AH batteries for Ryobi I bought some time ago. They're holding up well.
