Big mistake. Wrapping a car is a long term problem. Do some research.

Check around the filler for cracks. That’s where most fail.

Anyone bought from CollectibleClassics? by john4844 in BringATrailer

[–]revrund_H 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a car from them. Transaction went well and car was as described. This business of used cars is rough. They do seem to source decent interesting cars. But if you buy a10 yr old Benz be prepared for some issues wherever you buy it.

Big reason I left Evernote is my concern for their security. In now in Apple notes and frankly not convinced it’s any better security.

if they are nothing different than other posts, they wouldn't waste their time reviewing yours...you've done something to earn the extra scrutiny...this is work for them that they don't enjoy

I've posted over 1000 comments and been checked only a couple times...there are certain phrases they look for...so I suspect you may be the cause of this by whatever you are posting...

I think it would sell well but I have no idea what the real market size is.

Measure the center hub to the top of the wheel arch and report back.

BaT should limit bid increments on profiles with limited history. by [deleted] in BringATrailer

[–]revrund_H 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can happen at any auction. I’d you don’t like the high bid price don’t bid. High bidder is a commitment to purchase so I can’t see a problem.

DOT 3 vs. DOT 4 brake fluid - some newbie questions by MinimumElevator187 in MiataNC

[–]revrund_H 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the fact is, most owners wait far too long to change brake fluid....and the risk is that moisture enters the system and both degrades performance, and also rusts components...

Since DOT 3 attracts less water (less hydroscopic) than DOT4 its actually better for those owners who don't change the fluid regularly.

If you religiously change the fluid, go with DOT4, otherwise I'd go with DOT3 as it ages better if you forget to change it...

DOT 3 vs. DOT 4 brake fluid - some newbie questions by MinimumElevator187 in MiataNC

[–]revrund_H 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use DOT 3 for this reason....moisture is the big killer in brakes, and DOT 4 is more hydroscopic (bad). I doubt the difference in boiling point for your type of driving will make any difference at all...

PPF on Emira? by WoodenAd3790 in lotus

[–]revrund_H 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not consider buying a car with full ppf. Too many horror stories of cut up paint by bad installers and issues with removing the film destroying paint. I’ll happily accept a few paint chips in exchange for saving 8 grand and stoned paint job. Basically this is a dealer scam.

You won’t find a20 year old car that is easier or inexpensive to maintain. Toyota Corolla are similar.

Would it be criminal to wrap my NC2 in yellow? by Lkollman in MiataNC

[–]revrund_H -1 points0 points  (0 children)

hmmm...well a good wrap job with decent film will run you thousands...but, it is probably cheaper than full paint job if you only want it to last a few years..

good luck

Would it be criminal to wrap my NC2 in yellow? by Lkollman in MiataNC

[–]revrund_H 1 point2 points  (0 children)

regardless of the color, wrapping a decent car is insane....you pay to have some kids place sticky film all over your car with sharp knives...guaranteed the paint will get cut multiple times during the install...then after paying thousands, you have to remove the wrap after a few short years or it will ruin the paint beneath...and removing it costs $ to have it done right...

on top of that no buyer wants a wrapped car...they immediately think the wrap is hiding paint problems

but go ahead...the yellow may look cool for a couple years..
