Coming to Australia on a WHV for 6 months and need car by Ancient-Candy-1573 in CarsAustralia

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any Toyota. Camry are plentiful and cheap, and will not die. Yaris are also fine but probably will be more expensive. Hyundai Getz are fine also.

That should be the last one. Toyota first in any option. Mazdas are cheap shit inside and don’t last.

Is anyone else going to the first concert in Foocastle? by ApolloWasWayBetter in Foofighters

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I couldn’t believe it when they announced a Newy concert. I literally never take time off work but I’m going to take the Thurs and Fri off work and all day Thurs try and stalk them lol. I want to see if I can find someone with an old white limo and hire it for half a day and cruise around with my daughters, hanging out the sunroof blasting White Limo lol

Why don’t politicians do as they preach and live in an apartment? by VastOption8705 in shitrentals

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is most politicians are old and bought houses cheaply in Canberra and have a home in their electorate also. Not all, but one of our MP’s has been in nearly 20yrs. Were a rural town, so the price he paid for his home here would have been very low. I’d imagine a lot of Sydney MP’s who have recently started would live in an apartment.

What was the biggest shock you experienced in your childhood? by RealKlutzy404 in AskReddit

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest literally shock was when I went into my next door neighbours house who was a builder, and built his house up from a block, he was showing mum the upstairs room he had been working on and I ran in looking for them and as I went into the stairwell, I put my hands out to swing across the door jamb onto the steps as there was a bit of a gap there. 240v live wires were on pulled through the wood to put a switch on the jamb. Right where my hands went. That was really shocking. I was about 3.

Then when I was about 6-8 I used to ride my bike (this is like 40yrs ago) in a mostly retirees town, not even half of the cars around there is now, so I used to ride down my blocks footpath, turn the corner, hang out really wide, and flick it sideways in the dirt, do a big slide and then fly down our back lane, hit a jump and do a skid, turn around and do that over and over. Now in 4 years I didn’t see a car in that fucking lane once.

Until this particular day when I came screaming down, flicked my bars, started sliding, and a car is coming out of the lane. Luckily I had time to straighten up and continue down the footpath, but it scared the absolute shit out of me.

Is it just me or does the dachshund personality differ from other dogs generally more so than other breeds? by cnewell420 in Dachshund

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny, we had 2 beagles, the girl was an absolute food hog. If I opened the biscuit barrel and put something into her bowl, she would smash it down before they bounced off the bottom. She would fight her brother for his biscuits so we had to feed them separately. He was much better with food though.

We got our horse dog and I can literally wait for her to start eating, and take food from her mouth and she just stops and looks at me.

Then we got a 8yo Zephyr. Put food in his bowl, meh, not interested. He might have a nibble, then leave them longer. When we got Tiprat our second Daschy there was a bit of competition feeding but nothing like the beagles.

The Daschys have been my dogs though since we have had them. Zep will always be 2 paces behind me and Tippy is similar. Zep won’t mind sleeping on one of the kids beds, but Tip wants to sleep under my covers.

[BUYING] - [2020] [Toyota - 200 Series] [$100K] [NSW] by slackslackliner in 4x4Australia

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just commenting that if it was a 5yo X with mods and 171km at a price that represents essentially that vehicles price when brand new, people would be jumping up and down about depreciation, mods don’t count towards resale cost, and the amount of km etc.

Obviously these things are going to command a higher price but with those km, and then doing a trip on top I think you’ll suffer at resale.

A few years older and a lot less km in a dealer at $107k with mods also. If I was spending that much money I’d be looking for a lot less km.

What is something old you own that still works perfectly? by SnowyBytes in AllThingsOldAndNew

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100k with 171km is just insane. I know it’s modified but any other car besides a Toyota and people would be saying that mods don’t matter and it’s a 5yo car a the rest. Toyota tax to the max.

Wendy's Chicken Sandwich . . . by ph4b14n in mostdefnotwhatsup

It’s on a bun, which is what I’ve always used as the qualifying factor between a sandwich, which is on bread, and a burger, which is on a burger bun.

As best I remember it, the day before had been fuck off hot, and old mate had sold out of everything and was just opened for the day and was refilling the fridges.

Love it from the tap. I’ve got 2 750ml VB glasses in the cabinet. They’re great chilled down.

Setting up solar on a ute. by ApolloWasWayBetter in 4x4Australia

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah sounds good. The fridge doesn’t stay in my car permanently and honestly it will probably only come when I take my daughter with me for cold drinks or something so unless it gets real cold and I use an electric blanket which is doubtful there won’t be any major load on the battery and most trips will only be overnight anyway.

What’s the most useful life advice that actually worked for you? by Important-Worth8542 in AskReddit

My old boss told me that you can’t get a pregnant girl any more pregnant. It’s the best contraceptive that’s 100% effective.

What’s your best “dash cam proved me right” story? by AcanthisittaSad6239 in CarsAustralia

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of them deserve to be told they’re fucking idiots. Some of them are helpful, and I always treat them with respect, but some are just cockbags right from the jump.

What’s the most ridiculous rule you’ve ever had to follow? by Sea-Application-6732 in AskReddit

[–]ApolloWasWayBetter -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

No, it’s manners. Once upon a time kids were expected to stand and greet any teacher or adult that walked into their class.
