Apparently they rust pretty quickly if the body panels aren't meticulously maintained. Some review videos on YT that are pretty hilarious, not very practical for doing actual truck things. Plus you get that characteristic Tesla bad build quality, and recently they had a recall on all of them...

I completely understand your situation, I moved from Colorado to Georgia just about a year ago for similar reasons and am much happier here. I wouldn't rule out GA, less hazards for hurricane stuff and cost of living is very low. Just stay away from Atlanta, obviously. The Carolinas are nice...

Bullet train in Japan.

The vacuum advance canister diaphragm acts against a spring. Adjusting the canister increases or decreases spring tension so the diaphragm moves a different distance for a given amount of vacuum being applied. When vacuum is released it only takes as long as the spring can push the diaphragm...

@RustyRatRod thank you for posting results on this (oddly) controversial topic. I for one don't understand why this topic gets so heated, it's almost as bad as what oil to run or Edelbrock vs. Holley carbs. A lot of this hobby is about experimentation and making things work for your specific...

Gotcha, that's true then and won't be an issue. And also true, the buy-in isn't what it used to be. I got my Duster for $3k; solid rust-free from Cali, bone stock 318 auto old lady car. Now the same car would probably be worth $6-8k. Reminds me I need to grab a late B-body before those get...

Makes sense but also, where there's a will, there's a way... I guess instead of dumping $20k+ over the course of 16 years into my A-body I could have saved that money and bought a nice 6-speed S550 Mustang GT. But I like building stuff myself and going off the beaten path. Buying an...

Lol that's a neat coincidence. I guess it's a good thing in a way that I'm the "lone wolf" gearhead in my family, don't have a parent or any extended family that wrench on cars so I was able to choose my path freely. I was bummed when Roadkill was taken off YT but for a few years now I've been...

I've thought about building a sim rig, it's very tempting. I always think about being able to put the money into my Duster though and I live about 2-3 hours from Road Atlanta which is one of my "dream tracks" to drive on. For your second point, thankfully we have guys like Freiburger and...

I think what @Princess Valiant is seeing is limited to her location and I can say that because I moved from CO to GA last year. Big cultural shift in CO over the past 5-10 years with all of the transplants, most of them coming from more expensive parts of the country so demand for everything...

Is that the only internet provider available at all in your area? That sounds like a terrible deal tbh. I also don't think providers charge for the amount of data you use, they charge based on how much data you can download over time (Megabits per second). IIRC my service through Xfinity is...

It's like any new idea that comes along and then gets capitalized. Streaming started out in the 2010s as a cheap (sometimes free) way to watch specific shows and movies you wanted anytime, anywhere with a plethora of options and services. Then when it started catching on and companies realized...

Best way I can describe it that makes sense in the simplest way is you're basically using your TV like a "limited" computer. On a computer you open a web browser and go to YouTube or any of these streaming sites like Netflix, Hulu etc. and watch movies and shows. On a smart phone you download...

Any form of media where I can't skip, block or otherwise avoid big corporate advertisements gets a hard pass from me. I forget how much I hate cable TV until I'm out somewhere that has it playing.

I've watched foreign movies here and there with my dad since I was a kid so anything not originally shot in English I just use subtitles. Can't stand dubbing. I also sometimes cheat and use captioning for shows where the English has a heavy accent and is hard to follow.

I've been wanting to watch Boardwalk Empire for a long time, thanks for reminding me lol

Past: Resurrection: Etrugrul (Turkish series about the beginnings of the Ottoman Empire) Salem Breaking Bad Better Call Saul (only got through the 2nd season though and never got around to finishing) Sopranos (first 2 seasons) Lonesome Dove Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood (Japanese anime) Attack...

Informative thread here. When I relocated I had reps from US Bank, BoA, WF etc. all crawling up my *** to get a mortgage through them, felt so good to tell them I didn't get a mortgage because I essentially bought my house with cash (made a deal with my dad, he bought it cash and I make monthly...

Coming from a younger person (I'm 32) that movie holds up really well today. I watched it for the first time earlier this year and was impressed, especially with how many scenes there are with long periods of Japanese dialogue.

Cool video about how they're operated

I got a couple of those too earlier this year. So much better than conventional extinguishers, not that I've had to use one yet but the many demo vides out there convinced me. SO much smaller and lighter too.

Pearl is awesome. I'm 32 and had all that stuff causing me grief trying to date and find a good long-term partner, then I decided about a year ago to move to a different part of the country with more "traditional" culture and also focus solely on women who shared my same religious beliefs. As...

I'm definitely not going to try anything on my own, I already figured it was a shot in the dark to ask that in the first place. I definitely know my limitations lol. LOVE that movie btw.

That's what I ended up doing last night. If I left it on normal heat mode it would run the blower for a long time waiting for the pump to kick on which obviously never happened then finally kicked on the emergency electric heater. I tried leaving it set to 67° but that was too cold for me to...

I'm going to call the company that installed the system since the previous owners of the house left that information here. They'd better be legit, I've already reset the unit a few times so I could get A/C back when we had some hotter days recently. I'm going to let them know I did a little...

I did some more poking around as it seems my heat pump still isn't working right. I took the panel off the outdoor unit and saw that one of the LEDs was lit up; it was indicating the system was in "high pressure lockout". I found an installation manual online which said that if the high...

IMO this disappointment is just the norm for pretty much anything offered by a large, long-standing and nation-wide company. I'm only 32 so I've never really known of a time in my adult life living independently when you could trust big companies to actually give a damn and I make choices...

Pardon my language but that's bad-f***ing-***, lol. You've got some serious balls for something like that. Peak manliness! My hobbies aren't that "unusual"; gun stuff, vinyl records. I'd love to get to a point where I can start collecting older machinery and engines though I just love...

I have Nationwide for auto and home, they're like 65th on that list...!! I'm gonna hit up some of those top 5's see what kind of quote I get. My premiums seem "good enough" but it's for liability-only coverage on my Buick and D200. Duster is on Hagerty, I might switch the D200 over to that...
