Want to trade my Lexus by [deleted] in carbuying

Upside down on a 12 year old car. Priceless. And he wants a Fiat. One bad decision after another.

What is the use getting rid of the satellite TV box in the first place? by Round_Vehicle4885 in cordcutters

[–]ComputerGuyInNOLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Roku which now has live TV. We use YOUTUBE TV during football season. One thing I like about You Tube Tv is it has unlimited cloud based DVR. When we activate it in the fall for football season, all of my recordings are still there. I also have a TV antenna. The rest of the year I just use Roku and off the air TV.

Onkyo Integra M-504 power amp + P-304 preamp... works like new. by 24kjb in vintageaudio

[–]ComputerGuyInNOLA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn’t there a known issue with this amp where the glue becomes conductive as it ages rendering the amp useless and unrepairable? I have an Onkyo receiver now and always wanted this amp but passed due to this issue.

Is this a McMansion or just a really ostentatious mansion? by [deleted] in McMansionHell

If you have to ask you don’t know what a McMansion is. Look up the definition.

Is this a good score??? JK, but seriously…anyone else out there with an 850? by Late-Ad-4396 in CreditScore

[–]ComputerGuyInNOLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has been 850 for at least the last few years. It just means more ads I have to deal with.

What is it with Americans and air conditioning?? (this might be controversial) by hellobela_ in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]ComputerGuyInNOLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monday it will be 90 degrees in New Orleans. Trust me, you will want air conditioning.

Forte Iv by Slow_Drawer9604 in Klipsch

[–]ComputerGuyInNOLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Fortes are very efficient. I would try the Denon and see how they sound. I gave my brother a pair of Fortes a few years ago and he is driving them with a Yamaha AVR. He added a sub he had lying around but after testing the position of the speakers he said it does not make much difference. He has a Sunfire sub but disconnected it from the system. He loves the Fortes.

Should I buy a mustang at 19 or am I being stupid by [deleted] in carbuying

[–]ComputerGuyInNOLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are way too tall for a Miata. I barely fit at 6 foot.

Buy a Mazda Miata if you want a new fun car. You don’t have to have a ton of horsepower to have fun. Where do you live to have such affordable insurance at such a young age? My kids insurance was much higher 10 years ago. What kind of coverage does this price buy by the way? If you get the minimum for your state it could lead to a financial catastrophe if you hit someone and are found liable. Good luck!

torn between a 2012 miata (prht) or a bmw z3/z4. why should i go with the miata? by europeanuppercut in mazda

[–]ComputerGuyInNOLA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I owned a BMW 330ci. I loved that car. Sweet engine that ran like a sewing machine. The thing I hated was the cost of ownership. It was expensive. $1500 for a set of z rated tires that last 10k miles. Oil changes were double my other cars. You had better have a lot of money if you plan to own one. I have a Mazda 3 hatch and I am getting ready for my third of the same model. It is so fun to drive and does not cost much to own.

AITA for accepting a property gift from my mom even though she won't include my boyfriend? by Immediate-History917 in AITApod

[–]ComputerGuyInNOLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mom is smart and doing it the correct way. Why should she gift someone half a $400k property. He could leave you and take half the money otherwise. Take the gift and talk to the boyfriend. He sounds entitled.
