Yeah, you mis spoke. This is clearly what happened. Anyways, here's my lil buddy!   He's a little sweetie but he only likes three pets. Four pets gets you a nibble. You can see his clipped ear tip that notes he's been fixed and gotten a round of shots at the vet before being released. As much as we'd love to keep him he's loved by a few neighborhood kids so we're just going to make a temporary insulated box for him and maybe build a nice little kitty home for him so he can be safe and warm.

Car shopping really sucks. FINALLY think I've found what I want, but on closer inspection, the only low mileage example around is a base-model with barely any options in a color I don't think I like. So now I have to wait and see if something else pops up, or spend another week agonizing over what I can get in my price range that I won't hate. Unless I just suck it up and buy the base trim in silver. Sad!

Ether Frenzy posted:That's two recommends in two days on this, I need to watch it since the actual races are, uh, shall we say.. not as dramatic as they could be. They did a really good job of having a narrative for the overall season, the tension in the teams and delicious drama that we all crave. It was a nice way to condense the season down and get some good side stories otherwise lost in the shuffle of who is on top. In other misc stuff I randomly googled the VIN of my old Mazdaspeed 6 to see if it is out in the wild. I found it https://www.iaai.com/Vehicle?itemID=30872177&RowNumber=25&loadRecent=True Died at the hands of a rollover  and it appears to be recent as well.

Reminds me I recently did a massive dump of old files and papers but kept some old registration info. Need to google the VIN of my old 300Z TT and a few others see if they are still around 15-20+ years later for some.

fakeaccount posted:How does that work? It deflects the wind rather than having a big open chamber that just sort of collects it? Basically, yeah. "Active grille shutters", since if you don't need the air for cooling it is less of a drag penalty to push it around the car instead of through the radiator and engine bay.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:it was really well done. Oh, hey, I forgot I was going to ask you: Do you have a hook-up for vandy parts? I took your advice and spent a little bit more to get a pair of 2Ci, but one of them has a blown/clunky woofer. I haven't de-socked it yet to see what's going on in there, but if it's not something that can be re-foamed (the Ci should have neoprene instead of foam anyway) or re-glued, where do people generally get parts?

I know this is super basic to everyone here, but next week I'll be doing stuff on my car for the first time myself (well aside from putting water in and swapping wheels). I've booked a diy garage to change oil, oi and air filters for a start. However the car is nearing it's 2year/30000km service interval, so more will be needed after that. Does anyone know a good format for a log to keep track of all the things you do? Like that doesn't only show what you do but where you can eeasily see when the next item is due?

What kind of car? Some automakers have a service history online, and you can put in your own entries. That's what I've been using. GM offers it in their owner center for all GM customers, not sure about other makes.

I got nowhere else to say this, but I got completely hooked by one April fools joke this year. My friend posted on FB that after 4 years, he's finally finished his project Corrado, with accompanying shiny car photo. Of course I should have known, nobody ever finishes a project car.

beep-beep car is go posted:36/10? Ugh. Spring for the 12 at least, then you have a nice round "1000 miles a month" budget. Yeah, this is what I did and I'm coming in just under my mileage, although I assume the Hellcat would (maybe?) not be a daily driver, so. Wisconsin's swing-state-ness can be fuckin' stressful sometimes, almost every election comes down to the wire. Just had our election for Supreme Court Justice last night and the Conservative candidate came out .4% ahead or something like that with a few precincts and early votes to be reported yet. Might be a recount, but it looks like our Supreme Court is going to get even more stacked towards the right. Worst part is this guy was Walker's attorney, and was previously appointed by him as well.

Maybe, I don't commute and last year I didn't put 12k on 2 vehicles combined so I doubt I need it. T-Square posted:Yeah, this is what I did and I'm coming in just under my mileage, although I assume the Hellcat would (maybe?) not be a daily driver, so. Yeah, certainly not a must-drive-this-every-day car. meatpimp posted:How much down? What residual? $21k is a lot to pay for something to just give back at the end. I wouldn't put anything down other than the first payment and an acquisition fee, putting cash into leases up front (especially for decreasing the capitalized cost) is a fool's errand. Money factor is something very low like 0.00012 (.288% APR!) and residual values are likely between 59-63% depending on the term/miles, trying to get confirmation there as Chrysler Capital may have updated their rates yesterday but of course dealers are reluctant to share any details.
