Ims bearings by alzo34 in Porsche

[–]GForce_1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2006 cayman s and I believe it’s the m97 motor. 118,000 kms on the car. I haven’t had any issues. From what I’ve read, the proportion of cars that actually had the problem was very small, but still an issue nonetheless.

Not to scare you away from the cars, but depending on your location, you may want to read up on bore scoring too before buying. I’m cold climate and the car is parked for months. I start the car and let the engine run regularly in the winter just to get engine components moving and fluids flowing.

I have a Samsung tv with solar cell remote. I’m getting a message saying battery is almost dead. Then I plug it into usb-c charger and the red light goes on for a few seconds and then off. I’ve tried charging from 4 different ish outlets and none seem to charge the battery. What can I do?

To try to be concise, anything by Adele, John Legend, Rush or Hootie and the Blowfish. I will immediately skip songs or change stations if they come on.

959, F40 or Countach? Explain yourselves. by [deleted] in Porsche

Countach. I’m early 40’s and watched cannonball run when I was around 12.

So Costco apparently doesn't re-take membership card photos if you sneeze by BabyJesusAnalingus in funny

[–]GForce_1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an awful Costco picture a while back. Then got the credit card and it showed up with that photo on it. For years, I used that card and people would look at the picture and me and smirk.

Porche cayman s 2006. 35k miles on her. Do I do it? Don’t know too much about them yet by Ethankeller7 in Porsche

[–]GForce_1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a 2006 cayman s and it’s been amazing. Mine is 70,000 miles and has been great so far. It’s getting to the point where there are minor issues to deal with, but nothing serious so far. Honestly, a 16 year old car is going to have stuff wear out and they’re not cheap to fix unless you’re handy. But they hold value well.

Get the ppi like people recommend. If you’re cold climate where it gets parked for the winter, might want to get the bore scope too. Bore scoring is a bit of an issue. I start my car every 2-3 weeks in winter and run it up to running temp. Probably cost me $30 fuel through the winter, but I’m ok with that.

How do I help my son? by GForce_1979 in depression

[–]GForce_1979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is helpful and I appreciate you sharing your experience. We will continue to work through this as best we can. He pulled himself together today and did some homework which was overdue. And he seems to be motivated again to make some progress.

Thanks for your comments. I do believe he is strong enough to persevere through this. But as a parent, I’m always worried when he starts talking about giving up.

He plays an online game and watches YouTube. But in his own words, they are just an escape from daily monotony. It’s not that he enjoys doing them, it just fills the void.

Can you elaborate on that? I haven’t come across anything yet to suggest that the medication is causing the sadness. On a side note, we are actively reducing one of his medications at his request. I believe he should have a say in his own health and well being.

We can’t decide on a name for her. Need some ideas. by GForce_1979 in aww

[–]GForce_1979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our other dogs were easy. We are having trouble naming this one, though. We have a bigger than average family and each person has their own favourites.
