That’s like the time me and the wife spent 5 days in Savannah GA in June. It hardly ever got above 85 and humidity never touched like 40% the whole time. It was unbelievably mild, and I spent the whole time telling her it should not be like this (I grew up there).

Yeah I thought the same thing. “I could probably manage a down payment up to $10k” tells me that his budget should be MUCH lower than $40k-60k. If he’s having to scrape together to get $10k, his budget should be $20k-$25k. I’m generally in favor of putting the smallest down payment down to keep from being underwater…

Dunno about financing a classic car, but I can tell you Lightstream has been great for us. They gave us the lowest rate (not sure what the guy above is referring to, we had no issues) and it was unsecured so there is no lien on the title.

That thing must be HUGE!  It simply dwarfs that fully grown woman, making her look like a little child.

Funnily enough, I bought my FoST new for the same reason, a brand new ST3 (~24k) for just a couple grand more than used base models. Also pertinent to this discussion, I sold it 13 months later for a not-huge loss because it ended up being stiffer than I want in a DD and I could never get comfortable in the Recaros. …

Holy hell, I can’t believe you name dropped Weaverville. There aren’t many singlewides there, as the land it would be sitting on is worth 5x the trailer.  Now if you had said Hot Springs or Burnsville or Mars Hill (where I lived for 6 years), now THAT would make sense.

Meh, sometimes my time is more valuable. I’d much rather spend what little spare time I have with my kids (who are not yet old enough to help me in the yard).

I recently purchased a different bidet on Amazon, and my take is this: unless you some insane water pressure, a bidet like this should never replace TP. Plenty of times I have ‘washed’ after going and then a quick wipe will reveal what the bidet did not get.

Great! Now my wife will get to hear me yammer on about this on our 12 hour drive back from the Keys tomorrow!

I think your math is off by a factor of 10.

It looks lifted because of the non-stock bed on the back. The wheel gap over the duallies is HUGE, but it is needed to line up with the beltline on the cab. I wonder what this would look like if someone designed a pick-up bed that more closely resembled the stock back-end.

So what happens when the plane leaves the jet stream? Is it a sudden decrease from 800mph to ~560mph (almost like hitting a wall of air)? I couldn’t imagine what it would feel like if a plane essentially ‘hit the brakes’ like that.

This

45 isn’t that bad - sometimes the page hangs when I try to load more comments, and the adblock counter will be racking up numbers while frozen.  I’ve seen it as high as ~800 or so before I have to resort to killing Chrome and reloading the page from scratch.

Can someone tell me what these are for?  The obvious answer of putting them on your keys or in your wallet doesn’t work for me - who the hell loses their keys frequently enough to need to buy into the Tile system?  I guess I can stick them on a dog collar (or sew them into my kids’ clothes)?

The destination charge crap bugs me, but not nearly as much as what Jeep does. On the Summary page of their build & price tool, they list a ‘Selling Price’ after an assumed 10% down payment.

Jesus, do these boots come with a 10 year/100k mile warranty?

I’m certainly not a tall person, but was specifically looking for something large + roomy for our last purchase. Durangos specifically feel claustrophobic inside, I think it is a combination of huge B pillars + minimal leg room in the backseat.

I am ‘that guy’ for my in-laws’ white elephant gift exchange. Usually I gift the tackiest christmas item I can find from an antique/thrift store (and inevitably one of the in-laws will love it unironically). One year I wrapped an insanely large box of Totino’s Pizza Rolls from Costco.

It is really weird how they chose that 40,000 sq ft. lot to put a 39,000 sq ft. house. The town is TINY, there are acres upon acres of open land a stone’s throw from their house, I’m amazed that a couple that one would expect to love the ‘outdoors’ doesn’t instead have a massive ranch 100 yards to the west.
