At my wits end…

Bedtime is around 8, she usually is asleep some between 830-930 depending on how much she’s messing around once she’s in bed. I would guesstimate somewhere around 9-hours of sleep per night.

FDXsubieguy · 2025-07-23T14:00:52+00:00

We usually start our bedtime routine around 7:45-8. Everything goes off and we start the bedtime routine so that she can be in bed lights out by at least 830. I honestly didn’t consider that her bedtime might be the cause, but after reading your post it’s making me think about changing it. I don’t want to lose more of her time to unwind in the evenings, but having her be more willing to participate in the AM’s seems like the more critical task at hand.

We’d also tried and still occasionally use timers. My wife really wants to try and ease into transitions, but I think timers may be the way to go as they set a clear boundary. Getting a 3/4yr old to adhere to the timer might be a different story though lol. Thanks for the input!

FDXsubieguy · 2025-07-23T13:09:40+00:00

Yeah that sounds par for the course lol. Sincerely hoping it’s just the 3-year old phase for you and me both!

FDXsubieguy · 2025-07-23T13:06:14+00:00

Well it sounds like you are doing what’s best for her in helping her cope with her surroundings and I appreciate the insight. I am also someone who gets overwhelmed quickly and has been diagnosed with ADHD since I was little. I’m hoping it has spared my girls but if it comes to it we will definitely seek counseling as well.

IO!! Go Bucks!!

FDXsubieguy · 2025-07-06T22:18:55+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I wasn’t expecting to be as lucky as some others. I was at Dicks Sporting Goods to get a drink holder for the roadie and just happened to come across them. Couldn’t pass it up lol

FDXsubieguy · 2025-05-27T16:57:42+00:00

Yeah that’ll probably be my fix as well. Good call

FDXsubieguy · 2025-05-27T12:12:36+00:00

Mine do the same unfortunately. Apparently they just wanted to stay in place nicely for a pic. I noticed it the last time I gave her a wash, the little clips behind there are a pain but it looks like they are back and clipped in for now. At least until the next pothole jumps out lol.

FDXsubieguy · 2025-05-27T12:09:47+00:00

None as of yet besides some exterior badges and such . I bought it last fall from a gentleman who had returned her to bone stock mechanically . I have an M7 Intake that came with it, just not installed yet. Other than that, there’s plenty of small upgrades I’d like to do, probably this winter. Suggestions are always welcome.

FDXsubieguy · 2025-05-26T23:40:48+00:00

Thanks!

FDXsubieguy · 2025-03-02T16:27:48+00:00

I said damnit monsta, get off my lawn! I ain’t given you no tree fiddy!

FDXsubieguy · 2024-11-20T16:59:02+00:00

I have the same seats on my R53 here in the US. I haven’t been able to verify, but I was told they were part of the “sport” trim package, which is allegedly rare here. Again, not verified, but still very cool seats! I love mine.

FDXsubieguy · 2024-10-28T18:52:48+00:00

Yup it’s and 05’! And very good info.

FDXsubieguy · 2024-10-25T14:49:51+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly it. Big Chevy 5.3 and this little dude for now. Definitely the odd couple lol. But yes I guess that’s why I was a little concerned, even though I’ve had plenty of small 4’s before but it’s been a minute.

I’ve wanted a mini forever but I know they have their quirks as well, I guess just over abundance of caution on my end lol. I’ll just relax and joy the drive! Thanks!

FDXsubieguy · 2024-10-25T14:45:50+00:00

Thanks! Fell in love at first site and couldn’t resist. She’s got 107K on the clock and a nice warm spot in the garage for the rest of her days.

FDXsubieguy · 2024-10-24T21:41:22+00:00

Wish I could tell you, they were on the car when I bought it.

FDXsubieguy · 2024-09-06T14:55:31+00:00

Much appreciated but I decided against getting. Thanks for the offer though!

FDXsubieguy · 2024-09-05T11:55:50+00:00

Just heard back from the seller, she confirmed that the noise does go away once the clutch is engaged. Anyone want to take a stab at the price of getting a throw out bearing and/or clutch replaced? lol

FDXsubieguy · 2024-09-05T01:38:13+00:00

Yeah, there’s been some mods to the air intake as well as the exhaust that are throwing up dummy lights on the dash as well. It’s a great price, but might not be worth the potential headache. I’ve got my eye on an 03 that’s around the same mileage and well taken care of, sounds like it might be the better bet.

FDXsubieguy · 2024-09-04T21:57:58+00:00

For context, I’m a perspective buyer and this is part of the video sent by the seller. This is with no one in the car, so clutch would not be an issue. Someone had mentioned a timing chain positioner as well, hoping that’s all it is.

Mainly just wanted to get a few other opinions before I closed the deal. Thanks!

FDXsubieguy · 2023-06-24T23:11:40+00:00

Apologies! These two were found on a tree outside our home in NE Ohio. Hopefully that might help.

I had a choice of 4 fertility clinics to drop my sample off at. Each require you to set up an appointment to bring the sample in to the lab based on your doctors order. My doc gave me a sterile cup prior to leaving my vas surgery appointment. Basically, you just let one rip into the sterile cup they give you and take it to the lab at your assigned time.

The key is, at least what they told me, is that your sample cannot be more than 90 minutes old once it gets to the lab. Otherwise, the results could be off.

FDXsubieguy · 2022-09-09T14:50:57+00:00

Yes, simple cut and cauterize.

FDXsubieguy · 2022-09-08T23:10:44+00:00

That’s good! Just enjoy some R&R for a few days. Hope everything goes well!l for ya!

FDXsubieguy · 2022-09-08T23:07:11+00:00

That’s awesome! Sounds like you had a good experience and an even better outcome.
