They have a now-discontinued battery pack/light/compressor that was the same story. I had one of their super-duper special coupons once, and picked up the small 12v compressor for a whole $6.

Welp, even though it happened on private property, my homeowners doesn't want to cover damages to things which are not the home. They covered the fence, but won't cover the loving vandalism? Better get out my agreements, because I actually had that increased specifically for vehicular coverage a couple years ago- and I'm still paying for it.

I scored a complete set of 03 LPT 16" wheels for $50, just because they were so goddamn ugly nobody wanted them. They made good winter tires. Had sleep paralysis once or twice. Thats nothing big (anymore). The hardest part is just trying to keep yourself calm. Huh, that '96 850 is up for auction this weekend. Bet it has a reserve of $600 or so. Anybody want a Volvo?

mafoose posted:Parts can get expensive quick and they aren't worth poo poo to try and flip. Thanks, but I wasn't actually serious. There is no way in hell I want a '96 850. I've had one good '96, and it was an NG900. A complete loving turd that I fixed up for somebody who was without a car. That $1500 car ended up costing me nearly twice that by the time it was fixed (perfectly, natch, since it was getting CARB'd). I want a hatch again.  The '99 Saturn SC2 is a 5 speed and probably has a reserve of $600, too. Power started getting fucky last night (Rain to Snow to Slush to OHFUCK). Went out for good this morning about an hour and a half ago. I'm not too worried. I have two laptops with good batteries, my amazing noname UPS can run the router and cable box for 10 hours.. and as for heat? I've got a gas stove. I'll just light it carefully from a match clipped to an antenna with an alligator clip.  I would like to listen to a bit better audio than the $0.25 radio I picked up a few years ago to flip because it was branded with a local event. Never bothered, because it isn't worth all that much.

Extra posted:Real life I don't think any video game featured the zx2 and if it did that's p hilarious. There are always ZX2s popping up here for like $1000-2000 also this looks pretty fun and is a thing I would like to do I'll reiterate what a friend told me when I got my ZX2, so many years ago. "Nice car. Does it come with the strap-on vagina, or is that separate?" It was pretty fun to SPIN DEM FRONT WHEELZ in first from a stop light but once you hit second, yeah, it was almost overtake time. Plus the high rear window made it a bit of a bitch to parallel park until you KNEW how large (small) your drat car was.

BraveUlysses posted:Paying down the principal is good but it will have diminishing returns after a while. I think the main goal should be to pay it down enough that if we had another lovely housing crisis that you wouldn't be underwater should the value of your house plummet suddenly. Sure, it isn't great- but what exists that rent isn't higher than a mortgage now? Hell, my shithouse has gone up almost 30% since 2006 (which it had dropped nearly 50% from in 2002).

blindjoe posted:I think rent here is a lot cheaper than a mortgage (Vancouver). I own because Im dumb, and I like being tied down and forced to pay for maintenance and upgrades. My predicted housing drop after the olympics never happened, I figured everyone would figure out it rains all the time here after a few years and want to leave, but they didn't. Well, Canada isn't the real world. Good luck with catching up with the rest of is. It takes Australia about 10 years, so you have maybe another 8 left. Good luck! -- Just got a call from a relative looking at a car. They wanted to know if everything was period correct. I asked them what wheels it had on it (ugly 3 spokes). They said they knew that they were period correct for a '99. Yep, the DI was correct color, too. What the hell did you call me for, then? Does this.. this.. SAAB thing travel upstream or something?

OFFICER 13 INCH posted:Are there any internet providors that do a monthly use billing or is it pretty much all contract. Not very common on our part of the rolling sphere. 'Tis the season for new DSL and cable, so check with your local providers. Charter Business was offering a no-contract phone+cable+internet bundle, but it'll probably be just as difficult to get out of their billing cycle as a customer as it is NOT being one. I think you may have "Clearwire" nearby, but their throughput is abysmal, even compared to bargain basement DSL.

Mat_Drinks posted:The tough spot I'm in too is that I kind of don't like the way the picture on most 120hz TVs looks because many, to me, appear ultra sharp and ultra real in a bad way. I don't want to see the pores on peoples skin. Or maybe I'm just sitting too close to the TV Take off your glasses. CRT-lite! I have, well, all Samsungs. I had one with lovely caps - and they sent someone out to fix it about a year after the warranty expired. Still works perfectly, even if it is only 1080p. The speakers are complete poo poo, but I don't watch stuff that needs loud explosions, so I could give slightly less of a gently caress than if it just had audio out.

Mat_Drinks posted:I have a Samsung DLP that's served me well for about 8 years now, but the bulb is going. Well, or the color wheel. But from what I've read I won't know until I start replacing parts or have someone come out which quickly gets more expensive and difficult than it'd be to just buy a new one (that'd be better in most ways than my current TV anyway) Yes, and no. HDMI is the new USB. They all plug into the same looking ports, but not all things work- thanks to different revisions. My 2008 is godawful in that it takes at least 3 seconds of signal to get its poo poo together. By that time, many consumer devices say "gently caress this", and stop talking. I actually returned a Blu-Ray player because no matter how I gave it 'FALL BACK TO 640i BITCH' commands, it tried to sniff the TV, failed, and shut off. I have a combination of HDMI 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4. If I try to swap cables to do a test, I need to make sure they are compatible. Yeah. gently caress This, indeed.
