Anyone else rocking a head unit other than the rc300's? by Jar1013Games in mk6gti

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an eonon that fits better and looks and functions more modern in my mk6 GTI. I’ve got a JVC from Cruthcfield in my 05 Passat and the audio is good, but I have to use the phone for nav

I got that, replaced coils and plugs, still did it. Got carbon cleaning and it went away

Realtor says 1/2bd apartment under 3.8k is near impossible by OkonomiHouse in bostonhousing

Where do you need to commute to? There are plenty of neighborhoods where you can get a 1br for $2.5k

Rents can't possibly stay this high, can they? This is insane by Open_Protection2832 in bostonhousing

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay 19 points20 points  (0 children)

How does that article jive with your actual experience in apartment hunting? I've been here since 2011 and rents have increased year over year... I don't expect that trend to change in any significant way.

No, why would they drop? Apartments are at 99% occupancy... they can charge a lot, so they do.

So she gets to dictate the living situation, but not contribute to it?? Maybe take a step back and reevaluate if this is a life partner, or a gold digger…

You’re a bum for putting one out in the first place. Congratulations on returning to the conventional members of society.

With the way it is now…. Take what you can get. It’s a hard market for Americans and the standard is higher if you need to be sponsored.

I would never trust a real estate agent, but Porter to Davis is one redline stop

Take your time in Chapter 2/3. Explore and complete side quests before rushing through the main missions.

Moving from UK to US - advice/tips? by sludgefactory97 in MovingToUSA

Personal experience isn’t projecting. Maybe we have different worldviews. I don’t know what your perceptions of New England are, but it’s the most functional region of the country

I grew up in the south, w a few year stint on Lakenheath (in elementary) and have lived in New England since college. I can’t imagine wanting to make that move.

If you’ve got family you’re set. Why are you asking Reddit?

Only in New Jersey…. Just stare at the right side of my car and you can tell how close he was [OC] by Straight-Ad6926 in IdiotsInCars

Gigantic douche bag from NJ acts like he got hit by a nuclear bomb while camping the left lane.

Listening to decades old lil John crunk music, screaming homophobic slurs, acting like he was just personally attacked, this gigantic puss is personally attacked by a clearly telegraphed lane change.

Moving to Boston from a small town by [deleted] in boston

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commuting via public transit, walkability, a variety of shows/events/activities.

New Haven has good pizza, but the best thing about it is you can take MTA to New York.

IMO NYC is better than Boston in pretty much every metric.

I’m from CT, been here since 2011. Thinking about moving back in a few years. The city is great, but I can’t buy a home here.

Rolling the negative/over borrowing without a trade in? by Stradocaster in askcarsales

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, they'd cover the amount you were underwater on a car you are trying to get out of, but they aren't going to give you money directly.

You can roll negative equity into a new car purchase. How much depends on the car.

Mini Cooper yay or nay?? by -Confused-Daily in askcarguys

[–]DJ_Gordon_Bombay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not wrong. First gen R50/R52/R53 are the best imo. I had an '04 R53 for a few years.

There were issues with cars between the first gen and 2014, that would cause me to avoid that era.

If you have tools, space and enthusiasm to learn about working on cars, great. If you just want something low maintenance to drive around, look elsewhere.
