    life was more fun when I was younger.

    Well that isn't quite true. The key is not being so agreeable. It's part of being confident. I'm too nice as well, but I don't let people walk all over me, and I'm used to that mindset because of my job and making decisions. You can be a nice guy, but also set boundaries with women and...

    life was more fun when I was younger.

    Yup, gotta ask for the number my man. It's easier than you think. You don't even have to be direct and say "what's your number?" I've had good luck with "you seem cool, you and me should chat over coffee sometime". Yeah unfortunately you can't be too nice these days. Don't be a jerk, but if...

    life was more fun when I was younger.

    It certainly helps, but it isn't a complete deal breaker. Look at all the attractive women who date low lifes. If women like you enough they will make it work. Women don't usually care about the car you drive or how much money you have, they just want someone who makes them feel a certain way...

    life was more fun when I was younger.

    I've dated a few horse girls...horse girls are the female version of a car guy. :LOL:

    life was more fun when I was younger.

    I'm 34, and I might have just as much fun now as when I was younger. It's all perspective. I like to think of the high school years as a lot of fun, but it was because life was simpler. I had a lot of friends, just got my license, and rode ATVs for fun. I also had a minimum wage job, zero...

    If you could only keep your car garaged during winter or during summer, what would you choose?

    Winter 100%. I'm fortunate that both of mine are garaged, and it's nice in the summer being able to leave the top off my Wrangler so I don't have to switch back and forth and can just leave it in the garage on rainy days. With that said I hate when vehicles or equipment have to sit outside in...

    Can you Tell The Quality of the Shop By It's Appearance

    This. Personally I'm very organized and my toolbox is clean and drawers labeled. I have a friend whose dad restores antique cars for a living, and is one of the best mechanics I know. The quality of work is top notch, and he has literally turned rusty junk sitting in a fence row into a...

    Leave the 33's or go down to 31 on tj wrangler

    What gears does yours have? Mine is a 4.0L/AX-15 with 3.73 gears and I can easily keep up with traffic with a 1" lift and 31x10.5's.

    Leave the 33's or go down to 31 on tj wrangler

    31's are the max size I'd go with a 2.5L.

    Great experience with Safelite

    100% dependent on the installer. My friend who lives on the other side of the state about an hour and a half away has had nothing but nightmare experiences. I've had all positive experiences so far. 🤷‍♂️

    2024 ram 2500. Any reason to buy a factory warranty?

    It's not a one size fits all situation. I buy used vehicles, so it never applies to me, but I can see how some would view it as an insurance policy. There are many factors at play. If you keep your vehicles for 5 years probably not a big deal. If you plan on keeping past that and drive a...

    NEW FRAM TOUGH GUARD TG-8A CUT OPEN

    I've been favoring the TG's lately. Most of them seem pretty decent without having to spend $16 on a filter. Also regarding the dent, it's crazy how many filters I come across that are dented or otherwise damaged. I stopped buying from Amazon, because they pack them in plastic bags which...

    Cheapest way into a long-term windows system?

    +1 I'd buy a used device over that $129 one. 4GB of RAM is nothing these days, and Windows is full of bloatware that runs in the background. Being the family IT guy I've often been tasked with finding cheap computers for family members and their kids. I've had good luck buying lightly used...

    NEW FRAM ENDURANCE 3614 cut open

    Obviously not the best spacing, but at least the media is strong enough so shouldn't have any tearing issues. Do the Donaldsons you use have a silicone ADBV? That is my one hang up with a lot of the Fleetguards, Donaldsons, and Baldwins. Some of them can be quite pricey depending on size, and...

    2024 ram 2500. Any reason to buy a factory warranty?

    I'm curious what vehicle you feel is so flawless that an extended warranty doesn't make any sense. Modern vehicles are complicated, even Toyotas and Hondas. IMO the value of an extended warranty depends on what it covers, and the terms around that.

    Honda Gas Mowers Still Available

    +1 Nice mower! Air filters are very important on lawn mowers.

    Went looking at new Corolla's with/for a buddy. Nope, not happening.

    It's the fault of the dealer not Toyota. All manufacturers have dealers that do this. I see this with farm equipment as well, and tech distributors I deal with at work. I wouldn't buy a different vehicle only because of a bad dealer, I'd simply find a different dealer with the same car if I...

    Driving Dynamics vs Reliability

    Don't buy something that is so unreliable you can't afford the maintenance, but at the same time buying a vehicle based ONLY on reliability is dumb. Everything has problems, even Toyotas and Hondas. Lexus parts are very expensive if they don't have a Toyota cross. Life is short, a good...

    Anyone else miss the regular old carbureted atv's?

    Fuel injection wins as far as easier starting, fuel economy, etc, but good luck if you need to work on it. Everything is packed so tightly into those new ATVs and side by sides, the labor rates are quite high.

    Went looking at new Corolla's with/for a buddy. Nope, not happening.

    Lol $400 for tints? Doesn't even look tinted to me, and $300 for mats?
