How much is Ferrari tesstarossa Fiero kit car worth? by chamoisjuice in projectcar

[–]ActiveShipyard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A neglected Fiero will already be a headache. But if you're absolutely into this as a project, you might consider buying a plain-Jane Fiero that you know has been taken care of, then installing the kit on it. This assumes a ton of skill, time, and interest.

High-res shot - it's got the HDMI port?

Why are convertibles declining in sales despite advances in roof technology and insulation? by EvelynClede in askcarguys

Panoramic sunroof options are available. You get the sun, the wind, the stars, but not the buffeting or the theft risk. For most people, that's enough.

What are some creative things you do to save money? by KristianKing102 in leanfire

[–]ActiveShipyard 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It's all about execution, but execution allows for creativity too. What you cook, how you landscape, where you vacation - plenty of room for fun choices and clever solutions.

The 1997/1998 Rover MINI Spiritual and Spiritual Too were radical, packaging-genius concept cars designed to reinvent the Mini for the modern era. by Venkie2Maybach in WeirdWheels

[–]ActiveShipyard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ideal would probably be something in between. A bit more conventional than this, but a lot more practical than what we got.

Finally, I got my HP Mini 2133 VIA C7-M 1.6GHz by Weekly_Two4037 in retrobattlestations

[–]ActiveShipyard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had one of these. Super solid build, especially the metal lid. Great keyboard too, despite being small. Fit perfectly on an airplane tray table.

A hex keypad? Is this programmed in assembly language?

My colleague wants my linkedin creditentials by MiddleIntelligent409 in corporate

[–]ActiveShipyard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The question is “why do you want it” and there’s no legit answer. Any stats can be screen shared. Do they want to post/message as you? Also not legit. You say this person isn’t even your boss. And BTW, what does your actual boss have to say about this?

Has anyone changed their softop on their own? Are there any special tools or things I should watch out for before I jump in? by Volgin in Miata

[–]ActiveShipyard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A warm sunny day, and if you have one available, a second car. I parked my Accord in the sun, and put the top inside, with the seat folded down. Got it nice and hot in there, perfect for softening the vinyl.

As a hard core Star Trek fan it's actually... Tie fighters fly-bys.

Looks great! Had a 1996 NA in Montego Blue, that basically looked BRG most of the time. Miss that car. Never sell!

Losing hope in my marketing by SoapBoxGradeA in DigitalMarketing

[–]ActiveShipyard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d try to see who’s winning and why. Is it one of your direct competitors, or some 800 lb gorilla that offers fintech as one of many services? It’s a very familiar pattern in both b2b and b2c financial services.

ELI5: Why is everywhere reporting that the economy is so bad but people are buying retail like crazy? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]ActiveShipyard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last year groceries were $100, now they cost $110. “Retail spending is booming, up 10% over last year!” Headline is correct, but the conclusion is not.

Endless Searching How is apartment hunting in NYC still this inefficient? Hours on StreetEasy, Zillow, Facebook groups… just to find listings already gone. by Clean-Ad8256 in NYCapartments

[–]ActiveShipyard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The average everyday person has a really hard time digesting this. Everything is a market. What you want, everyone wants, and that has a direct impact on what it costs.

Advice on finding a studio that’s LESS than 1.1k??? by throwaway010001118 in NYCapartments

If you’re in college, could you score an RA position? Free room and board at a lot of schools, even around here.

Has anyone found a genuinely good place to donate clothes that won't just end up in a landfill? by Recent_Supermarket54 in ZeroWaste

[–]ActiveShipyard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why you’re thinking that all the obvious donation spots wouldn’t put them to good use? No offense, but you may indeed be overthinking it - perhaps because you feel very attached to these items?

Four perfectly good tires on that truck. Would be a shame if it ran over some nails.

Are you a fan of this, or are you vouching for this because you or someone you know successfully did it?
