A skyline turbo is at least not going to depreciate like a rock the “new” or newer 370 is, especially if the “new” z that comes out is retro and fire. I do t k ow the markets for r34s I have only been able to buy r33s bc of USA laws but it is still possible to get into a R32 or 33 GTR FOR 35-50k us or was 6 months ago. Prices are going up on everything cool daily. In the UK can’t you buy used cars rather cheaply? I’d be getting a hot hatch or something for nothing and getting a na r33 or something g to go wild with

An equal amount of dipshits are obsessed with the hero fantasy. They honestly think they will save the day if poo poo goes down.

We have a fuckstick that open carries at cars and coffee and he is very confrontational. He heard someone making Mustang Driver jokes so he confronted the dude and when the joke maker refused to back down our resident fuckstick rested his hand on his gun. The entire mood changed immediately.

I HATE guys that open carry.

That is “brandishing” or very well could be in court I’d ban him

I love guns and have lots of guns and never talk about it as well. But when some chucklefuck is open carrying and you know he is just a big dipshit trying to show off it ruins the mood. PLENTY of people carry here that need it or have to ha e it as part of their job in normal clothes or are very discreet about it if it’s open carry like you’d just think they had a big otter box on. The guy with the giant revolver is just a tiny dick loudmouth EVERY TIME.

drat Spyder that can be horrible make sure to get the sheriff involved lots of people try to squat.

I have guns and I’ve had to pull one out more than once in Nashville and my town now that maybe could have been ok with a bat or crowbar but maybe not. Both ended with the cops coming and taking the people away. No shots fired.

And I’ll just go ahead and say it. I don’t talk politics and I accept and support all people but y’all make it terrifying to be a Christian person who goes to church. Seriously would y’all do that to some car weirdo who is Muslim? Anyways I go to church and I do t give a poo poo what you do or who you do it to.

Also I went to a pull-a-part today my ex was supposed to get the kids and I was supposed to get another week at the beach. Guess what she flaked! Anyways at my moms in Nashville went and had a good score they had a previa surprisingly I pulled the flip out cup holders, had an ls400 that had the rare ac part I need that I paid way too much for on eBay but I didn’t get bc I’ve had one ac blow up on my face, had some. I’ve old Toyota so pulled some visors and ash trays for future imports, and pulled the climate control from the ls bc a backup or to change my Celsior to English but at this place if you just dump a bunch of shot on the CPI tee like this they are like $10 so dumb not to. If I had my tools I’d have pulled some stock yota radios but I only took my stepdads little ratchet with 10/12 and a flat and philips and wire cutters that was enough for most

I’m confused by this, do what to them? If anything talking about helping the poor and homeless and supporting social programs to lift the destitute and those in need of help seems like that would be right in line with Christian values?

Personally I do not have faith, but I hold nothing against anyone that does, of any sort of faith. As long as that faith doesn’t start infringing on other’s wellbeing and rights we are all good and that faith should be protected.

I do have a lot of issues with the institution of the church and how it has functioned throughout most of history though.

Make fun of them talking to a sky man or being stupid. I don’t give a shot I just want to talk about cars

I loathe mega churches and the like, and those who prey on people agreed. I’m way beyond not a good person but the churches I’ve went to and go to I’ve never paid a cent to and I’ve had the best food ever and a place to go when I felt hopeless. I don’t talk religion if you are atheist or whatever I’m certainly not gonna talk on the car forums to change your mind.

Mega Churches, false prophets the whole bible beaters can go burn in hell. I go to a church of Christ church now when I can with the kids kind of weird that they dont allow music but you can sing whatever. I am southern baptist and if you go to a church that makes you feel bad you are in the wrong place. Believe me I’ve ate enough potlucks and chili dinners where I am surprised they can pay rent. And the local CoC has awesome Halloween trunk or treat for the kids. I am equal walking distance to 2 bars and 2 churches. Shameful I spend more time in the bars it’s just good to be there at church whatever. It’s not for everybody and guess what that is perfectly fine but if anyone ever wants to visit we can drive Japanese cars and go to church with hangovers.

This might not happen but...preparing you I might... get to drive a testarossa this week and film a drag race with my Atrai kei turbo against it... it’s I the works I can’t make promises but it looks like it is going to happen

Okay that's a later first gen Testarossa, so it's still got the k jet engine. The phrase "never meet your heroes" likes to get bandied about when it comes to this car but it should be an experience either way. Have fun!!

Honestly if it has the gated shifter I’ll be ecstatic and if I can even sit in it I’ll be happy but I should at least get a rip in it for a minute.

Home speaker derail -- I finally got everything except the subwoofer set up and wired through the cabinet/ceiling/faceplates/etc.

I have always had a 5.1 setup, and never took the time or energy to set up a 7.1. Man, was I wrong. Now that I've got 7.1, I can't see going back. There's so much atmospheric presence added with the two side channels, I'm a bit floored.

Still so much work to do, though.

I know this is AI, but there's a lot of computer-touchers in here.

Dead hard drive recovery service recommendations? I know they're expensive, but I was using a friend's laptop and the HDD just up and died - heard the windows "hardware disconnected" noise, then... dead. Drive isn't recognized at all even in an external enclosure and just makes sad HDD noises. The PC's BIOS occasionally sees "Hard drive" on the first SATA port, but nothing else (no model, no serial, etc) - most of the time it just says nothing is connected. Apparently there's some Very Important poo poo on it.

No backups, natch. 8 year old WD Black 2.5" with very low hours on it. Tried it in another laptop, and an external enclosure, both just occasional show some kind of drive is there, but can't identify it (or that nothing is hooked up). It ded, just sounds like the heads are seeking several times before going totally dead when powered on, and doesn't sound like it's spinning up. Friend's laptop is back up and running with a new el-cheapo SSD in it.

I own a tiny computer store and don’t try to save them for people unless we are acquaintances anymore. If it’s not the click of death you can try things like freezing or getting the exact board (and I do mean exact) to swap in. That was easier for me when I had hundreds of hard drives laying around. Otherwise drive savers but that’s gonna be $1k at least

Agaonzing annoying pain now 2+ years later. I don’t think my doc would give pain meds he is an addiction specialist but can they ever like give you a numbing shot or something in that local area?

Also STR I know drive savers doesn’t charge if they don’t recover your stuff. I have only had two people ever opt to send it to them both were over $1k. Might as well try swapping boards and everything before you do they recover fire stuff and poo poo that’s been in the lake for a year I doubt you will do much more damage but as others said be ready if it lights up to transfer right then it might not ever connect again!

What do you need it to do? I ask because their are surprisingly quite a few small, underpowered win 10 tablets.

I still daily a now almost 6 year old surface pro 2

I can look at the office today if you tell me your needs and budget for one a couple of years ago their was a flood of $79 windows 10 tablets bc Microsoft was licensing windows for free if the screen was under a certain size

That's super generous and I appreciate the kind offer, but it's a gift to someone so probably not appropriate :)

That said, not entirely sure what they are doing with it but I am sure they have ~reasons~ as to wanting a windows native tablet instead of Android. Just don't want to buy woefully underpowered junk if I can avoid it. Probably go with an 8GB M3-8100y unit, unless there are better/more affordable options.

Their are windows tablets around for $200 or less that have 4gb of RAM and the pentium, but if you are going for the m3 8gb that is really the best bang for the buck, other than a used Surface Pro if you got lucky and found one locally with the i5.

So dumb bike question...

I have a Huffy women’s Walmart beach cruiser style bike my 10 year old 6 foot tall daughter won’t ride because it has flowers all over it.

If we paint it or sticker bomb it can the curved handlebars be changed for straight normal style? What do I search for?

24.5mm seems likely. 31.8mm is the other likely candidate -- it's more common in adult road bikes and mountain bikes, but my bike has a 25.4mm bar.

The bike is 25.4 indeed measure after you buy that’s my saying!!!

Can anyone ponder or follow this trouble:

JDM HiLux Surf (4Runner) 2l-te diesel 2.4 engine. The one I couldn’t get to start. Shop said gas was in it drained and starts and runs but had ZERO power. They said we think it’s this MAP sensor.

Bought one that looked close (discontinued by Toyota) and had power but turbo light stays on unless it’s spooling then check engine light then back to turbo light.

Ordered the exact part # from AliExpress and same thing.

Tried real non turbo or wrong Toyota map sensors and no lights but ZERO power.

What do I do?
