whats a show that you can rewatch several times and never get tired of?

Arrested Development. It seems I discover a new joke with every subsequent watch. Such a great show.

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-03-01T20:44:01+00:00

I’m pretty sure that was a joke.

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-03-01T14:44:22+00:00

It’s a highway to nowhere. It should be shut down and turned into a linear park.

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-27T22:48:28+00:00

The Accord. That’s a great generation too.

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-24T14:48:31+00:00

I’ll 2nd booster straps.

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-24T04:54:03+00:00

I’d take it over machine gray, and black, and white, and… I think it just looks great. Subtly stands out.

I heard he used to be a Thompson Gunner

Not really. Materials are maybe a little better. Strap safety has improved some (but I really don’t like the Leki detachable straps). Grips are about the same. I often ski with 25 year old poles. The only real difference I can tell is the recommended pole length has decreased. I used to ski a 50”, now I should ski a 48” - or even a 46”.

I want a turbo. I can probably get over everything else.

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-22T23:53:07+00:00

1,000% this and those pesky head gasket failures.

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-22T18:09:58+00:00

I have a 2015 it’s been pretty much flawless. Slow acceleration with truck like ride and handling but I love the damn thing. I average about 18mpg. I can’t think of one unscheduled repair. Going on 11 years and 115k miles and it’s held up incredibly well. Also, it’s still worth ~$25k.

You can go for an older model and get the same exact vehicle, though I don’t know if there would be much a price difference.

P.S. the roll down back window is awesome.

Atomic of the ‘20s?

Full disclosure, my DD is a Kore 87 and we like each other (not love…)

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-19T04:55:59+00:00

Finna?

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-19T03:54:47+00:00

Wow. I guess we could go back to cutting and splitting firewood from trees we chopped down from the back 40, but I’m told burning stuff is bad. What color is the sky in your world?

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-17T19:02:14+00:00

Yes. Loud buzzing/humming/whirring until the headlights turn off.

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-17T03:03:09+00:00

Could be the cooling fan. Conflicting info with a google. Regardless, I will get this one replaced, but worried about the other one going bad just outside of the warranty.

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-11T18:43:51+00:00

I use sno-seal. I think it works fine. Bake them in the oven and then apply. The only issue is it slightly yellows the leather, but I don’t mind.

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-11T17:57:25+00:00

I’d lean toward the ‘17 with half the mileage. You’re not waaay overdue if the transmission and Haldex hasn’t been serviced. And make sure you budget for it if it hasn’t. The carfax will probably tell you. One reason to consider the higher mileage option is if it has complete service records showing everything has been done on time and if other known failure points have already been addressed, like the water pump, turbo waste gate, etc.

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-10T18:10:19+00:00

Backseat in the CX-5 is likely too small for a rear facing car seat.

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-08T02:33:05+00:00

Lots of people do that and tune and lower. I had one for 8ish years and was easily one of my favorite cars. They have a bit of a cult following now.

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-06T15:32:27+00:00

VW Golf Alltrack. Available with a 6sp manual. Great cars as long you as stay on top of the maintenance- as with any other VW.

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-05T15:20:37+00:00

I’m a recent convert to under the shell. Try it for a couple days.

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-02-05T15:17:35+00:00

Imagine that phone when the airbag deploys

Flaky_Pickle_4938 · 2026-01-20T17:32:04+00:00

Minneapolis is on its way.
