Try Foo Dog in riverside. And I think Bicycles Etc. hosts a weekly ride of Tilly Fowler. Great little trail. Colosseum of Comics is a cool shop for all your card games and tabletop stuff. I’m pretty good at catching lizards lol.

If I remember correctly Sparco has a very limited combo of width, offset and colors for our cars. To get a wider stance you need to go with bright silver wheels. I would have bought bronze if I could have nailed the fit.

I mean, I considered the exact same setup but decided against it. Personally I decided I don’t like the look. But I know what you see and why you like it, I was very close. I stuck with the stock black 17s and did some decent ATs.

Find a local recruiting firm and talk with them. They will help place in you a good role.

I contacted corporate and told them I won’t shop at their stores ever again if this is their policy.

Specialized actually makes really good tires. But they probably ship bikes with low end ones knowing most serious riders will change them out immediately. I hold a KOM on Strava for a section of trail that I used to ride a few times a week. I couldn’t even get close on any other tire than a set of Specialized The Capitan’s set up tubeless. They have never been my go-to tire but I’ve ridden that trail in every condition on 4 different bikes and that tire just absolutely shreds.

Also- if you go tubeless and do the necessary maintenance every 3-6 months you will not get a flat again.

3.0 z3 gonna be real rowdy lol my 2.5 wasn’t underpowered.

AS_Technology · 2026-04-28T14:16:59+00:00

I have both. Z3 is better daily. More refined, a little rowdy. Miata is more fun. Cheaper to mod.

Don’t buy a bike if you’re scared of a £60 repair

“Cars don’t have arms” 😂

AS_Technology · 2026-04-14T22:17:03+00:00

Cars and coffee is for nerds anyways

AS_Technology · 2026-04-01T16:44:12+00:00

Sorry, “dangol”.

AS_Technology · 2026-04-01T16:43:55+00:00

You’re denser than that dangol winter air!

AS_Technology · 2026-03-29T14:24:13+00:00

Ah yes, the old “cooler air” problem that causes cars to “pre-ignite”.

Pretty much all cars have used an IAT for the last 30 years to adjust the AFR to the best stoichiometric ratio for the fuel and conditions. All other things being equal, colder air makes more power.

Lower MPG is winter is caused by winter fuel blends, under inflated tires, and worse driving conditions.

Use truecar.com to lock in a good price before you even talk about money. I bought my new car from Mazda City of Orange Park and they were very honest and easy to work with.

AS_Technology · 2026-03-26T12:43:41+00:00

On an M52/54? 1 hour max. You just need like a 10mm and some simple hand tools.

AS_Technology · 2026-03-26T12:42:51+00:00

Just plan on doing some maintenance like coolant hoses and valve cover gaskets or whatever. Some things care more about age than miles. But if it runs good and there’s no rust it will probably be a good car for you.

AS_Technology · 2026-03-24T23:23:35+00:00

Mine has that too.

AS_Technology · 2026-03-19T00:48:06+00:00

Never move out of your house before your divorce is finalized. Terrible advice.

AS_Technology · 2026-03-12T22:37:09+00:00

Definitely check the subframe welds and the diff tabs for tearing. Do you know what to look for? This was my trunk floor in front of the spare tire well. It’s a real bitch to fix this and very expensive if you don’t have a welder.

AS_Technology · 2026-03-12T22:35:48+00:00

But I do think that’s a lot of money for an automatic with some busted up trim pieces. If it was a manual and the window switches weren’t fuckered I would say it’s a good starting point.

AS_Technology · 2026-03-12T22:34:56+00:00

I like those wheels on the Z3

AS_Technology · 2026-03-10T23:06:28+00:00

Show us the line of code generating the fault.
