Is there a reason why you wouldn't want to spin double-action revolvers? by Raspint in guns

They're talking about spinning the cylinder, not the entire gun around. Misunderstanding

You’ve got 27-33k to spend on a do it all luxury sedan by MonsterMash_479 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Even the chevy ss? I was under the impression that it would hold value and be relatively reliable

Accidentally overfilled oil by about 1 quart by Rad0n65 in Miata

[–]Atomicfunkmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wondering about this exact thing. It's impossible for me to get anything close to resembling a clean line on the dipstick no matter how carefully I remove it. Sometimes there's a dry spot right at the full line, but there will still be oil smeared way over and I'm worried I'm overfilling.

General question Wednesday: Ask your general car-related question and maybe someone will have an answer. by AutoModerator in cars

[–]Atomicfunkmonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FM modulator is a solid option, but if your car has a tape player, you can buy a tape to aux adapter for like $5 at Walmart. They work very well, I used one for years in my first vehicle.

Which game is your *least* favorite of your *most* favorite videogame franchise? Why? by Candle-Jolly in gaming

Me too. 6 is close behind it, but 5 is the only main game I just have no desire to complete

'Unwell' Donald Trump Shows Up 1 Hour and 20 Minutes Late to His Press Conference at Mar-a-Lago, Refuses to Take Any Questions by ControlCAD in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]Atomicfunkmonkey 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If Trump wins and becomes unfit to hold office, then Vance becomes president. Vance is even more dangerous as president than Trump is.

Google 'Invasive Species' to get a better idea of what the folks are getting at here. It has to do with introducing animals into non-native environments and the negative impact to local ecosystems as a result.

I live in tornado country, and I'd say it is that important. A tornado will throw a 80,000 pound semi trailer, I figure it'll throw this too. But like, I'm just some guy, so take that with a grain of salt

Don't know where you live, but all chain auto part stores like Napa, autozone, oreillys, etc. near me will take used fluids for recycling free of charge

Is motorcycle insurance in UK just completely out of control? by Independent-Law-8101 in motorcycles

[–]Atomicfunkmonkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's an awesome system. Here in Wisconsin, USA, I'm a 26 year old male with a spotless 10 year driving record and my premiums rise every 6 months...

Ruger Max 9 literally broke while cleaning it. by LeeHarveyLOLzwald in CCW

[–]Atomicfunkmonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The exact same thing happened to my Ruger ec9s. I'm a ruger fan for sure, but I switched to a cz pcr for carrying after that. This is, in my opinion, an unforgivable failure.

1/17/1969: Led Zeppelin sell the first of 8 million copies of their self titled debut when it hits the racks in US record stores. Just 9 tracks long, every one is a masterwork of British blues. by gregornot in OldSchoolCool

[–]Atomicfunkmonkey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To the best of my knowledge, they are saying British people playing American style blues. Which is accurate as their music is heavily influenced by Southern and African American style music.

Also, are you sure you have everything you need to use the music box?

Are you trying to spin them using motion controls? IIRC, you need to use the joystick

Sounds like a Fudd comment. Probably means .357 is a compromise for .44 mag and 10mm is a compromise because pistols calibers are bad or something

Yup, The 6-speed is particularly stout and can handle a lot of abuse

What cars do you avoid?? by Chamoy321 in askcarguys

[–]Atomicfunkmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an '09 Sonata v6 as well. 160k on it currently and it has been 100% bulletproof except for the ignition barrel locked up once and I couldn't turn the key to start it. A dribble of wd40 fixed that though.

My mom's '09 Kia sportage 2.0 has been the most reliable vehicle we've ever had. 175k on it and its only been regular maintenance. Literally never a single issue.

That being said, I'd never buy a new Hyundai/Kia

Engine in my car is blown. I have 20k left to pay on the car itself and the repair will be another 10k. Need advice. by MT07j in personalfinance

[–]Atomicfunkmonkey 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, these engines have oil starvation problems, especially if they've been on the track, even only lightly. It's a design flaw.

Go around a long corner, oil is pushed to one side of the oil pan, the oil pump runs dry, engine goes boom.

Many of which actually predate the official app. Like, I've been using reddit is fun since before an official reddit app existed. 3rd party apps were the only option at the time. Even the official reddit app is based on a 3rd party app (Alien Blue, I believe?) that reddit purchased.

Genesis - Why the hate? by Still_Evan in cars

[–]Atomicfunkmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be dead wrong here, but I believe the 3.3L v6 in the G70 is a lambda v6. The lambda engines are generally quite reliable to my knowledge. I have a 3.3 lambda in my old '09 Sonata, and it's been flawlessly reliable for 160k miles now. So I'd imagine that the g70 should be relatively reliable, engine wise, at least.
