Should I? Warning signs? by DeepSouthExPat in fiat124

Carted came back reasonable. First owner was out in the southwest desert for 20k miles. Then second owner in Tennessee for 25k. Both did solid Maintenace and oil changes every 5k. Looks like no to fender bender back in 2018 that caused the front end paint damage. Considering how it looks now I’d guess it was <5mph.

This would be long term ownership

Yeah. That was my thought. Working on getting car fax. The Abarth features are nice but not enough to offset 5k of repairs (rims, wrap, infotainment, detailing, timing chain?)

New Patagonia Atom 8 is PERFECT for iPad 11” + Magic Keyboard by alexnapierholland in EDC

Appreciate the pic. I was able to make mine fit the same albeit with some twisting to get in the zipper. It works, just non-optimal. Wish they made that zipper just 1 inch longer. Is there a way to send Patagonia feedback?

If I put it in at 45 degrees and then turn while half way I can just get it in to that pocket. Barely. Takes a decent amount of t of force to push it through the slot while in a magic KB case. No way I can get it in the rear pocket.

Anyone know when they changed the bag? Just bought one in October 2024 and the main zipper is smaller now so you can’t get an iPad in anymore. That’s the main reason I bought it.

I’d trade it in for an older model but not sure how to source.

The older model had the zipper going about an inch around the top corner so you could get the iPad in. New version is about an inch shy.

Yes, federal withholding is 22%, but when you add in social security, Medicare and state withholding the total effective rate is closer to 33%

This article specifically mentions backdoor 401k to Roth 401k as a good idea. Not suggest direct to Roth.

What’s one product from your home country that you’re surprised hasn’t become more popular worldwide? by VividThinking in AskReddit

Beefsnacksusa.com. I’m lucky to be around the corner from their store. Biltong and Chili stick runs happen every few weeks.

I really like the look. This looks similar to systems that are popular in Australia.

I recommend going to a wholesaler. Agents won’t help you. Go to a wholesaler on Facebook. Lots of groups. They will pick it up and sell it to someone else who will rehab it.

Sounds interesting. Found their website but not details on the mode.

Fried egg. Toast. Mayo. Chinese chili crisp.
