    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    It's actually a deliberate set of rules in the banking channels to have different processing times depending on whether or not it's going into a bank or out. Essentially, if it benefits the bank, it's processed with the hour. If it's money leaving the bank they intentionally delay for a few days...

    Trim and nothing else, ever? Then you won't need anything particularly heavy duty. Do you have any other pneumatic tools or would this be a first? I'd personally rather not have a random assortment of pneumatic, or even just one piece.

    Z3. The Z8 also existed, but it was a very expensive V8 halo car for BMW and not many were made. Can't believe you would just leave cars stuck in the mud, lol. After the first time I would have figured he would say that's enough.

    Correct for the vast majority of rentals. Except when it's a sports car that someone can rent for a day but not usually afford to own. It will be driven hard. I rented one in Atlanta a year and a half ago (Camaro SS) and its rear tires were bald to the cords and leaking and the engine...

    You're thinking about bankruptcy over a $15k-$20k car? That's like someone having a hang nail and deciding to just cut off their hand. You go BK and you can forget about credit and decent loans on future cars for 7 years.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    You're right, compared to bikes it'll definitely feel pedestrian. But, there are still plenty of options for a fun manual. I always tell myself I'll go mild with mods, but its very hard to resist. Some how, the mods always win...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Despite what all the JDM weebs think, the 370z does not have the GT-R engine. It's not going to handle boost the same way and it's not going to be as robust. It's a deep, dark rabbit hole of money if you are trying to make that car uber fast. You may as well start with a better platform...

    How many times will you have to replace the ruined wood (and deal with the hassle of replacing it) before it would have been better to go with synthetic? Will the wood last 3 years each time? 4 years?

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Kind of thinking "fuck you NFL and fuck all of the entitled, whiney, rich-as-fuck-but-still-acting-oppressed players" for at least this season. I'll read on Sunday instead. Thanks for ruining the one sport I looked forward to all year.

    For kids, you're definitely better off not going too high. There's an important safety factor to consider. I would call it the interior wall of a dormer as well (like that picture) but some Google searches of indoor climbing walls should yield great examples of complex angles without too much...

    Had a neighbor who built one into their fireplace, which rose up 2.5 stories through the main room (hearths on two sides). It was probably 7 feet wide and 20-21 feet high. The hand-holds were built in, not movable. The house was taller than usual, not a typical floor plan.

    This is the big take-away, lol. I had issues like you are describing on a Subaru back in 2004, which is why I suggested what I did. However, it literally could be anything in the line that controls car functions. The only reason I skipped over battery is because you said the car started, its...

    I'd check fuses and coil packs. Neither like tons of heat or moisture and given the car's age, either could be compromised.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Hopefully. Nissan is in dire straits financially, however. It would be pretty terrible if they cut corners and went cheap on things as a result. But, a 380-400 HP, RWD relatively small/light sports car would be cool, if there's a manual option. Price it well ($39,000 roughly) and it should sell...

    Always a rush on first year releases (unless its a dog). There will be mark ups because they can get away with it. If you aren't in a rush, you'll save a bunch long term, but you already know that, so that's good!

    They messed up the GT350 engine pretty bad for the first several years. Every manufacturer has misses. That's what warranties are for.

    I want one too. But, I just saw the price on the Ford website: $49,000 (starting) for the model I think I'd pick. Holy shit man. Big engine can only be had with the automatic transmission. Well....never mind then.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Agreed. I'm very interested in a 4 door, manual, TTV6 Bronco. Hope it has a decent interior (like the F150s) and drives well. Have a feeling dealers will have ridiculous markups for a year though.

    I'm trying to decide between a few fun cars for weekend/track use and I'm leaning towards the less powerful, slower one that also costs 10% more, because I've told myself I don't need as much as I used to. WTH? I'm also rustled because this probably falls into the "you know you're getting old...

    Damn, that's giving property away. It's $500-$1mm per acre here without a house on it. Add in 3,200 sq ft and you're talking $1mm-$3mm. That's pretty tempting if the surrounding area is nice.
