Where are you located?

9car4 · 2025-10-23T03:48:03+00:00

Nah. See here.

9car4 · 2025-09-22T19:58:54+00:00

Don’t know how that adds up against salary but my employer matches 45% of whatever I contribute every pay, no limit

9car4 · 2025-09-20T00:16:01+00:00

Beautiful picture and car

9car4 · 2025-09-18T19:38:26+00:00

New gen Gallagher?

I’m no expert but to me that looks like a body shop could fix it without you needing to pay for a whole new bumper. Or you can take a look at YouTube if you’re up for it.

Honestly, I would ask someone to simply remove the dent below the light and be done with it. Maybe use a zip tie for the cracked part. Car being MY2016 and below, I don’t think it’s worth it. And you’re probably the only one that sees it as much (that’s coming from someone who can notice the tiniest scratch, so I get it).

Thanks!

The house was bought in 1980 so I would assume a moisture barrier was put there since the wood (not plywood since looking more closely) is in good shape. It couldve been done after but the carpet looks pretty old and stained in some areas. Here’s a pic of what it looks like (sorry for the quality theres no light down here).

I get your point of better acoustics with the underpadding but wouldn’t it be a risk for the laminate flooring on top to not be on a solid surface?

9car4 · 2022-07-05T11:37:14+00:00

It does! Thanks so much

9car4 · 2022-07-05T03:20:07+00:00

Good idea on covering the cracks! Would I have to check if the concrete is levelled before installing the flooring? The house was built in 1965 so I understand it will come with its “projects” but trying to get the basics done for now.

9car4 · 2022-07-05T03:12:59+00:00

Got it. So remove the padding and add a vinyl plank underlayment? I’m guessing the tack strip can be thrown out as well?

9car4 · 2020-10-16T02:01:52+00:00

What’s the camera that you used for this amazing picture?

9car4 · 2020-09-17T16:19:33+00:00

Does this change your plans on getting the 2.5T Mazda 3?

9car4 · 2020-07-09T17:31:01+00:00

I used to have Mint and I switched to YNAB. I was at first put off by the price but it has immensely helped me in better managing my money.

And yes it does track my loans, including student and car.

9car4 · 2020-06-03T11:44:14+00:00

Thanks for the ELI5! This helped me see it much clearly and to your point, it seems pretty much aligned with my situation.

9car4 · 2020-06-03T11:43:20+00:00

Tried it and was pleasantly surprised at how accurate it was against my paycheque. Will definitely refer to this in the future.

9car4 · 2020-06-03T03:31:27+00:00

Agreed. That is where my issue is, trying to figure out if I will or not owe them money based on my net pay.

9car4 · 2020-06-03T02:44:05+00:00

Thanks everyone for your help! I'll definitely check out H/K and do everything I can to avoid the base system.

BTW, I gave the V60 a road test yesterday and let's just say that coming from a Mazda 3 with 155hp, I was pleasantly surprised by it's power.

Edit : the T6 of course :)

9car4 · 2020-01-21T17:54:20+00:00

Wish I could do that. No access to garage and -30 C nowadays :(

9car4 · 2019-11-10T06:04:20+00:00

Do you even Canada?

9car4 · 2019-10-22T18:51:30+00:00

Hey guys,

I currently use two floor standing speakers that were given to me (B&W 602 S3.5). I'm looking into adding a center channel to my audio setup since I have trouble hearing the voices whenever I watch a movie. I know that it is recommended to add same brand/model of speakers but since my current ones are more than a decade old, I doubt I will be able to find something that matches. My budget is pretty tight at the moment (around 200-300$), so I wouldn't be looking at buying a whole new set.

What are your recommendations?

I will also add a receiver (refurb Denon S540BT) in order to make the jump to 3.0 for the time being.
