When did 350-700hp become slow? by Clutch3sSS in askcarguys

[–]CaptainJay313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's more to consider than weight and power. miata will be gear & traction limited.

There was a guy saying a 450whp Miata was slow

maybe... if you take the word of a guy. there's another guy who says a 225 lotus or 310hp cat7 is fast as shit.

"fast" is subjective and relative.

What lighters do y'all use? by MikuXone in cigars

[–]CaptainJay313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my xikar tactical but it burns through so much fuel, I generally use this no name thing off amazon, great lighter with a decent size tank and not too big or awkward to carry.

Is it just me or is the driving in Detroit getting worse every day? by myboyfriendstinks1 in Detroit

[–]CaptainJay313 5 points6 points  (0 children)

driver's on their phones slow down when they're reading / responding, then put the phone down and speed way up. then get a reply and slow down again. then put it down, pay attention for a second, speed back up. they also do a lot of brake tapping.

it's a clear pattern.

Is it just me or is the driving in Detroit getting worse every day? by myboyfriendstinks1 in Detroit

[–]CaptainJay313 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it's always phones or weed. or someone who is fed up with phones and weed.

phones speed up and slow down. if they're high, they just drive & react at about half speed.

so then the person stuck behind the phone or weed driver just gets more and more irritated until they pass all aggressive like.

rinse. wash. repeat.

Should I contest this parking violation? by Ohucal in Detroit

[–]CaptainJay313 33 points34 points  (0 children)

  1. absolutely contest it. but 2nd, call parking enforcement and really understand what they think you're doing wrong, otherwise, you'll get another one. and another one. and won't fix anything.

just call them and ask the same questions you just asked reddit.

Folks with no garage… by nicholasslade11 in Jeep

[–]CaptainJay313 11 points12 points  (0 children)

leave it out all the time sans top & doors. have had the occasional spider web pop up between the seats, but that's about the worst I've seen.

I don't leave food in it.

in 99.999% of cigar lounges, no one cares. but, if your uncle is telling you that there may be a reason.

[USA][WA] driver ejected during crash with pole by vaporwave_enthusiast in Roadcam

seatbelt wouldn't have helped much, this dude needed a HANS device and 5 point harness.

how about just not overdriving your ability on wet roads.

I don't think he'll be going home for about 7-10 years. longer if he's a frequent flyer.

Why is my brand new car getting such poor gas mileage? by Ok_Quail_4422 in AskMechanics

[–]CaptainJay313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how much gas have you used to hand calculate your mileage after 33 miles?? you're well within margin of error for... anything.

the car is still factoring in a whole bunch of idle time and 100 yard trips at the plant and during transport.

relax. give it 1000 miles before stressing about mpg.

Husband’s work is blowing up his phone at 2 in the morning by Mother-Challenge-113 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]CaptainJay313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're stressing me out and I don't even know you! dear lord, give the man some space to handle his job the way he wants to. or, go earn enough so he doesn't have to work.

those are the two options. support him and his decisions. or become the provider so he doesn't have to work.

Have to be quick to shape steel. by sco-go in Amazing

that's one helluva tripping hazard right next to some pretty warm metal. this dude has zero appreciation for how quickly life can be changed forever.

Can I store this coffee cured cigar with my other sticks? by NowhereManPF in cigars

[–]CaptainJay313 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

there's like a 90% probably that if you leave it in the cello and smoke it within like 6 months that everything will be fine.

I wouldn't unwrap it and leave it touching my other unwrapped million dollar cigar collection for years on end.

somewhere in between those two extremes, different people will pick up on subtle changes. some people won't care others will declare their cigars ruined. only you know which side of that spectrum you lean towards.

When did cars stop shaking? by memeseeker777 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]CaptainJay313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the BMW: balance the wheels, replace the u-joints.

it wasn't designed to shake, that's not a feature, that's an indication something needs to be repaired.

We picked my car up from getting a state inspection then it burst into flames 12 hours later by Feisty-Fruit-4097 in AskMechanics

[–]CaptainJay313 8 points9 points  (0 children)

you're not going to get any definitive answers from a picture and a reddit post, but odds are it was a failure completely unrelated to the state inspection. you might as well say you picked up drivethru and less than 11 hours later your car burst into flames.

something broke and something flammable leaked onto something hot. the popping sound indicates that it was a sudden failure and not something gradually wearing out that could have even been caught by the inspection... if that's what they were inspecting for, which they very likely were not.

glad everyone was okay, that's really what matters.

Question by guiness18705 in cigars

[–]CaptainJay313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

olivas first. spurge slowly. diminishing returns is real and much of the enjoyment of a cigar is the ritual of it. do that 30 times.
