I've had my eyes out for another XC90, but I stumbled on a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero nearby for dirt-cheap. Aren't monteros plagued by piston ring issues causing them to smokescreen constantly? My Dad had a 98 montero and it was pretty alright at the time. I have to say, I love subaru AWD in houston rains. It just doesn't give a poo poo. With my old focus, I'd spin front tires on road paint. In my Miata, I'd have to make sure I watch the revs because vtak would try to kick in, yo. With this subie, it just goes. Awesome.

Small engine repair would be interesting. I have a Kawasaki FC420 on a walk behind I haven't figured out yet. It starts great and runs OK until it warms up, and then it starts missing and knocking. Parts are stupid expensive, so far I have removed and cleaned the carb, adjusted valves, gapped the coil, wrapped up the plug wire in heat resistant electric tape, and power washed off the cooling fins. It's a little better, but still acts up.

Okay Cat I know this is going to the most American thing you hear all day but ever since I started watching MCM Moog's face just seems "off" to me. Then I finally figured out what bothered me about him. He's got high cheekbones and his cheeks sink in on the side of his face. When he talks his lips pull back from his teeth a lot. Couple this with somewhat sunken eyes annddd... Yeah Moog looks like dead. Yeah yeah I know, "fat American doesn't know what a healthy person looks like, blah blah." I get it, and you're probably right. But from seeing too many gore videos and pictures linked on these forums thru the years Moog looks like some of the people I've seen near death from starvation or some who just recently passed. I dunno if anyone else sees it but go watch some MCM videos and tell me if Moog's face doesn't look slightly sunken in while he's talking.

Gonna take a look at this Jeep for my brother after work. His budget is quite a bit higher ($4k) but for a reliable daily driver with 4WD and can haul things, I think it's pretty slick. I'm also hoping to hear back on this Subaru but the mileage has him scared. edit: what do you guys know about Nissan Frontiers? CornHolio fucked around with this message at 15:05 on Sep 2, 2015 |

They are meant to break away. No loving clue why. They are horrible. It's literally a piece of paper with like a Z pattern inside but is mostly hollow with another strip of paper on top. Never seen anything like it before and these tiles are inly used in the lobby while the rest of the building uses normal tiles. It's absurd to be honest. I can't even use a sheetrock saw to cut holes out. I need to use a loving razor blade. Super Aggro Crag fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Sep 2, 2015 |

A bunch of the bigger ones are snapped off, and I'll likely have to cut a few to get it out of the ground, but there are still a bunch coiled around the bottom of the trunk in a ball and those ones look alright.

Trim a lot of the uppermost branches and the widest branches to match the loss of the destroyed roots. Water heavily but don't overwater to the point of rot when re-planting.

T1g4h posted:The hell you say. I picked the only correct option since Wild Hunt is the classic Interceptor, son I picked the '32 Ford looking thing, just to be different. I thought about Wild Hunt, but it's not the BoB, man (rear side windows aren't right). Besides, you can change bodies later on, I think. I almost got the Rolls body, just because offroad Rolls. Note that the diecast that the Game Stop preorder came with is a Wind Hunt, though. Enourmo posted:17+ EXCLISIVE COLLECTIBLE VEHICLE RATED M Also, on the back, it says "THIS IS A COLLECTIBLE NOT A TOY" on the back, in big, bold capitals. The GameStop guy found that humorous and pointed it out. It's cheap Chinese, but the casting isn't bad. I don't like the generic weenie wheels it's got on it. May take it out of the package and hack some nice Hot Wheels wheels into it. Or find a second one on eBay, if they're not stupid expensive.

Darchangel posted:Also, why not? I was pretty sure I'd like the game after reviews, who made it, etc.  MustardFacial gets in a huff about the games industry.....again. The reason why you shouldn't pre-order games is because the publishers want you on the hook before the embargo's drop and you find out the game is a big piece of poo poo. They want their $60 from you based solely on the marketing and hype train they've managed to generate. Ever wonder why video game advertising seems so much more sensationalist than anything else? That's why. These companies want you on the hook before anyone has had a chance to warn you off it. Want to know why there aren't demos anymore? This is why. The onus is no longer on the game maker to convince you they're making a good game, when you are so willing to plop down $60 months before it's out. Do you want games to be stable on release? Do you want new IP? Do you want the content of the game to justify the money you spent? Do you want GOOD games again? Then stop pre-ordering. Publishers have exactly ZERO reason to ensure any of these things happen if you keep pre-ordering games. The same game you pre-ordered will still be there on release day, yeah you probably wouldn't have gotten the hot wheels but the fact that they're willing to include something like that (and charge you extra for it) shows how badly they want your money upfront, right now.

But I know very little about commercial building stuff. Maybe they're so a bunch of water doesn't build up on top of them in case of a leak. Seems like a useful feature if they're in a room with a lot of paper or electronics inside. Then a small drip causes an immediate and noticeable problem before you drop a few gallons on your records or whatever. Why someone would use them in a lobby is a mystery.

Agree with MustardFacial. If you want to think about how absurd game pre-ordering is (especially, but not solely, in this digital era), replace "game" with "box of cereal." It just wouldn't make sense - you'd want to taste the cereal first, or at least hear about how friends liked it, before you bought it. E: it turns out my favorite woodworker on YouTube (Jimmy DiResta) just bought a 71 C10 and may start a series of videos on it.
