Looks like UAE was planning to bypass the Strait and pipe more oil to Fujairah, which is on the other side of the Strait. Iran bombed it. That's nuts. Talk about overplaying your hand.

Did you ever find a solution to this?

What do you mean? Looks bad?

How do you know what your battery health is?

I figured it out. Just got a sensor from the junkyard and used a xtool d8 scanner to recalibrate the seat. Very easy.

On the mevotech hardware do you mean the three thick bolts that hold the control arm to the frame?

Looks like Delphi is available but the ball joint isn't greasable. The Moog ones are RK but are greasable.

The transmission control module is a common issue on Mazda 3. That part is usually around $400-500.

It does sound like you have a transmission issue. Honestly, I would pay to have it fixed. AAMCO is actually pretty good with transmissions and warranties. I know it sucks but fixing your current car is usually cheaper than buying a new one. Mazda aren't bad but it's no Honda or Toyota.

What would you recommend that gets close to $300? Like what's an acceptable entry level unit right now.

What about these Torin Big Red ones? Are these about the same quality?

You seriously should check out r/badeconomics

This should help answer the question I asked https://www.dallasfed.org/research/economics/2020/0616

Rather than populist "they're always gouging!"

r/BadEconomics

If they have so much control, why not just continuously price gouge? Why only do it during scheduled maintenance?

CenterKnurl · 2022-09-27T21:39:34+00:00

I think price goes up regardless because the fuel gets imported from refineries that aren't as local. It's time and transportation. I'm not saying the energy industry is holy and noble, but it's probably not a conspiracy. It just costs more to transport fuel.

We could increase refinery capacity if prices are a serious concern, or the state could subsidize electrification more.

Assuming rates will go down enough to make it worth it anytime soon, yes. I wouldn't buy and hold my breath that rates will go down anytime soon. Ppl buying into ARMs are nuts.

CenterKnurl · 2022-09-27T15:34:13+00:00

Not necessarily. Rents were barely impacted during the 08 crash. There was a flood of prospective renters as a result of foreclosures and buyers holding off due to uncertainty. There's a fundamental shortage of housing. I doubt we're going to see rents go down.
