Friend of mine drove her HHR through a salt water flood during our little hurricane and stalled it. Turns over but there's no knocking. Had it towed to her mechanic and he said the valves might be bent so he's gonna take the head off and check......Is it even possible to bend just the valves and not rods after ingesting water?

Hurricane just went through us and saturated the ground, now there's a giant line of thunderstorms rolling through and everything is under water. Never seen my street flooded like this, holy gently caress.

I'm gonna sell my two old cars and get one newer car because I'm sick of constantly fixing the old ones. I want to do nothing more than oil changes and rotate/replace tires for the next five years dammit. And brakes are ok too I guess, but that's it I'm over it

Am I the only one that still listens to CD's in a car? Maybe it's just me, but in a decent aftermarket system CD's sound better. Never really liked loving around with music files in a car either. Maybe I'm just old school and used to CD's I dunno.

scuz posted:They'll still play your CDs, though, every DVD player will. But see I like listening to an album (CD) order the way it was intended. For instance listening to Duran Duran's Rio out of order just doesn't sound right, but that's only because i've been listening to it in the proper order since 1982. And more recently, Tame Impala's Currents flows perfect in the intended order, and sounds WAY better on pressed CD in my car than the files did off my phone. Also I have so many loving Cd's it's just easier to throw a bunch in my car and rotate them now and then. It's just easier and sounds better imo.

As soon as I walk into work today, had to confront some drunk dude trying to molest the house keepers and have him arrested for assault. Oh and theft for stealing poo poo out of rooms, he went and tried to hide in the McDonalds across the street and they found all the poo poo he stole in the garbage. Dude was sitting down eating a big mac like nothing happened playing dumb.

blk posted:OK AI, what's the closest thing to a 4 door Miata that's daily drivable (no stripped race cars), is not an E30 or FiST and is available and repairable in the States? What nm and Phone said. I haven't driven one yet, but from what I've heard a Mazda 2 is the closest thing you can get to a Miata with a roof and four doors.

You can get excellent bokeh with prime lenses just fine. My Canon 135L produced the best bokeh I've ever seen and I've had Leica setups before. Zooms are great if you need them, most of the time you don't.

I've still got one of my 20D's from back in the day, works just fine. I made a lot of money off 10D's and 20D's, it's the glass that really counts.

Sweet tea is terrible when people don't know how to make it and it ends up tasting like sugar water. Made (brewed) correctly with a modest amount of sugar and it's awesome.

Darchangel posted:Trailing edge gaming is where it's at. My trigger price point is $20 or under, for console games. I don't have a ballsy PC or Mac, so I don't do too much PC gaming. Just really old stuff, or simple stuff. Same here with a PS3. Just picked up Dirt3 for 13 bucks, and got the last MotoGP for around 20 bucks. Hell I got the IntialD import super cheap too. I really don't see the need for upgrading to PS4 or to start PC gaming.

Appreciate the offer man, but it's gonna be a get in/get out kinda deal since we both have to work

There is nothing like the worry and anxiety of having a child in this world where literally anything bad could happen to them, but at the same time trying not to shelter them and letting them figure out some poo poo for themselves.

IOwnCalculus posted:I was a mess when my wife went in for a gallbladder removal and it took about 3x as long as predicted without receiving any updates at all. Everything went fine but the reason for the delay turned out to be that because it had been misdiagnosed by multiple doctors for so long (chest wall injury? really?) that it nearly required converting from a laparoscopic procedure to the much more involved open version. It thus turned into a two or three day hospital stay instead of the one that was planned. Exact thing happened to my wife, diagnosed with ulcers multiple times, and ended up with emergency gallbladder removal when she collapsed in pain on the floor one day. Could have killed her if she hadn't made it to the emergency room when she did.....My son was 3 years old at the time and was contemplating life without my wife and my son without a mother, it was not good there for a bit.

slidebite posted:We have relatives (NOT MY SIDE) moving from the Caribbean back to Canada next weekend. The wife refuses to put the 2 cats in the cargo hold so she and her husband are putting them in carriers and bringing them in the cabin for the entire flight from SXM-YYZ-YYC. I've taken cats on 2 day road trips and on planes. They usually freak out for a few hours at first but then calm down and stay quiet. By the time I had gotten to the airport he was over it already and was nice and quiet for the plane ride. It really not that bad, most cats travel ok unless you have a basket case cat which is entirely possible.
