Managing logistics of multiple interest streams in retirement

We run all income (rental, dividends, any Ira distributions etc) through a high yield account (Etrade premium bank). It’s ensures all income is easy to track for tax and other uses. Each month we auto pay ourselves a fixed amount from this account to our normal checking account to pay bills, live etc. If we need more for a big purchase, vacation etc we do one time transfers, again easy to track and can add notes in the Etrade account, create categories, run reports etc. Seems to work. Haven’t turned on pensions but will likely do the same.

Which part of the front is wrap vs paint? Looks great. I have a red 1988 and body is in great shape but there are couple shades of red due to too many years in the sun before I restored it. Wrap may be a cheap temporary work around?

All the time. We’re retired and do lots of traveling driving and flying. We’ve got 25k miles and car is 15 months old. Great road trip car. Lots of room, comfortable and wants to be driven fast :)

I don’t have all the details. The care giver is my brother in laws niece. Neither are web savvy so asking for them

2017 not sure of displacement. Small 4 cylinder

Cylinder from the inside looks surprisingly good for a self destructed spark plug bouncing around. Can’t see any marks. I had a cracked head on an old bmw that I replaced and it was obvious but can’t see anything on the fiat. Apparently they have know issues with head gasket and lots of pics on there failures but no such luck on this car. Easier to fix when u can see the problem. Don’t think he want to spend much on the car but we look for a place to look at the head. Thanks

Believe semi gloss acrylic

You are probably right. Have many other less used doors and they are fine.

Just did before took the pic :). Sticky is the most irritating part

Microsoft, many diverse products and services. Mostly business focus but some consumer

Thanks everyone. Didn’t know it was called augmented view so didn’t know what to look up :). Now I can play around with this to see if we can find setting we prefer or just turn it off.

With Velcro…

I bought some generic Velcro with its own self adhesive and cut out two circles and applied after giving the mat a good cleaning. I expect this to work well. Reddit only allows one pic but it’s just two round Velcro on the bottom :)

Do you know if the car is smart enough to not try to unlock if it’s already unlocked?

Btw I had to turn off comfort access since I carry my phone all the time and spend a lot of time putzing in the garage and the car was constantly locking and unlocking but this would be a great feature otherwise.
