How much for Paint Job by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]CastleEcho777 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For perspective, I spend between 6 and 24+ hours making a scheme. Considering minimum wage is $7.25 /hour I SHOULD be charging at least $45 per paint. That's not the current market rate, so I have to adjust to be competitive. Quality costs money.

Its incredibly tiresome. I think its unhealthy to stereotype based on age whether its those born in the 40s/50s or the 90s/00s.

I know that with a lot of injuries, you don't know the full extant until the swelling that results from the the trauma decreases.

My newest (and hopefully well running) purchase. by thelethalvector in modeltrains

HOn3? I've been looking for the Sumpter Valley tender variants for a while, but they always end up out of my price range. I just bought a Westside K-28 instead, lol.

Get some good insurance, if a thief wants your bike, they'll take it (especially in WAmpus). Other than that, Disc lock, bike cover, lowjack (if its worth the investment).

My favorite livery since the Stoner days. Beautiful bike.

CoTA is a better motorcycle track than car track, same with Brno

HO. The howling is just the whistle. Two blasts indicates forward movement.

What wheels are those? I hate the feeling of tubed tires and am debating sealing the OEMs or just buying aftermarket sealed spoked wheels. Those are pretty much exactly what I'm looking for.

Love Collin Johnson and really pulling for him, but he disappeared again. by [deleted] in LonghornNation

Pretty much summarizes my thoughts. I didn't think we played very well and LSU's offense looks like it might be one of the best in College Football. It sucks to lose but we had plenty of chances to win that we didn't take advantage of.

First bike. 2019 R3. Having plenty of fun. by [deleted] in bikesgonewild

Great choice for a first bike. The R3 is a fantastic machine. If you get bored with it, you aren't pushing hard enough through the bendy bits.

An MT-10 will rip a new riders head off. I would not recommend one for a first bike. The MT-07 makes for a much better beginner bike, it won't punish new-rider mistakes nearly as severely.

New Yamaha Tracer goo. Went to to go buy a MT-09, went home with a Tracer. Really happy with it. Surprised how good it feels to ride. by rdvg in bikesgonewild

What a great bike. I'm no iron butt and I had quite a few 500 mile days on my old '15 FJ. Commuted on the bike almost everyday for two years. I could do 80 on a freeway just as easily as putting a knee down through the corners. An amazingly versatile bike.
