I usually rely on a 8.0+ IMDB score before I plunk down money to see something in the theater. Project Hail Mary was the last one I saw on the big screen. My son saw Obsession with a group of friends, and liked it enough that they went back to see it a second time. Having said that, there are...

I have had one for a couple of years now. Revs to the stratosphere and arguably the best shifting transmission. You would fit perfectly (I'm 5'10"). Tons of online support, and Honda reliable. Fun and easy to work on. If you get one, there are a few common things to address, but if you...

Yeah, that is the biggest thing. It is like they get pleasure from doing stupid things with money. They have always had a shopping and hoarding problem. In fact, the house they built a few years ago has a four car garage. Two spots are just to store stuff they bought eons ago. I fear having...

I don’t. My wife (their daughter) tells them, but for some reason they are more likely to listen to her younger brother. But only selectively in this case. They bought the new car, but didn’t eliminate both existing which kind of killed any logic for this transaction. And all the dealer...

To clear things up, I’m not after inheritance. I have plenty of my own money. But I don’t do stupid things with it. The bigger concern is that they should be saving for their own care as they age. I’m not sure if anyone has shopped for mental care facilities, but they aren’t cheap. I’m not...

Anyone had to deal with parents that are older and that aren't smart with money? I never realized how bad my in-laws were until now. I knew, but this is really something. Part of it is that my MIL may be starting to have dementia and she is extremely resistant to change and has weird phobias...

Taught my 19yo son to drive manual when he was 12. He won’t drive anything else for life.

Yeah. I’m Indian American, and any decently well off family in India has someone to cook, clean, do whatever. Basic labor is so cheap. We aren’t neat freaks ourselves, but I try to live in a way that doesn’t burden others.

Good on you! Everyone should chip in. I'm going to rant here. I don't know how we as a society have become such pigs. When I go to a HS football game, everyone just leaves their trash under the bench when there is a bin just ten feet away. When the game is over, they just get up and leave...

Sell the new 4 and get a 5.

DCs are just another commercial thing. No different than an auto plant, refinery, semiconductor fab. Do we want to export all of our industry to China as we have been doing? Give them all our mining operations, oil drilling, oil refining, chemical production, auto manufacturing, chip making...

The sidecar racing is crazy stuff

I don't think in the relay attack that they are even bothering with programming a new key. They just use the relayed signal to allow them into the car and to start it up and drive away. They probably make new keys later. They leave quick.

Yes, something that makes a base F-150 attractive. Still uses a switchblade key that you insert and twist to start.

Older cars that were truly off when parked and locked could go several weeks. Modern cars with all these always on systems, I wouldn’t trust for more than one or two weeks.

Yes, my 2020 RAM was likely stolen that way. With the RAM trucks, they fish a hook through the grille to unplug the horn so that when the alarm goes off, only the lights flash. This is common and the proximity-key relay is another way.

These guys would laugh at that being a total loss. Would be fixed in ten minutes with a hammer.

Consider adding an additive like Lubegard. There is a red and newer platinum variant. People swear by them. There is some debate over which is appropriate and better. It may help shifting.

Perhaps Mitsubishi should have stuck with WRC:

The only thing I might want is a better designed drain. Like maybe a removable grate over that trench. Or better yet a narrow piece that matches the floor that goes almost to the wall to allow a gap for water to go under to that drain. I have seen stuff like that.
