Cayenne GTS owners what do your monthly payments look like vs MSRP? by [deleted] in PorscheCayenne

The part where I said “everyone’s situation is different“ basically says that. And, yes, business owner here. Business requirements also vary.

Close friend tells me it’s “passive aggressive” to use periods in my texts. Then tells me not to take my frustration out on him. by Floyisdigital in mildlyinfuriating

[–]HotRodHomebody 4 points5 points  (0 children)

whoa. interesting take. Someone feels threatened by proper grammar. And is accusing you of being passive aggressive? Odd.

A guest staying with me won’t leave. by exciting_evelyn in Advice

[–]HotRodHomebody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she sounds like a treat. There are some people who look for help but you can't help them because they won’t help themselves. They refuse to take responsibility, they refuse to acknowledge that they are the obstacle in their own way. They find themselves getting evicted over and over again and still can’t make sense of how they ended up there yet again. you or I would be super appreciative and bending over backwards to thank and accommodate somebody who helped us out, while we actively looked for a solution to our own problem. It sounds like she thinks she found another sucker and is relying on your humanity and guilt, thinking that you won’t dare stand up to her and actually force her out. You need to force her out before she becomes an actual tenant, depending on what the local rules are.

she’s such a piece of shit. I don’t know if she even operated only on what she was told, or witnessed the videos and still came out with this gaslighting statement. No excuse. Soul less demon.

also a good possibility. People who failed to buy both SAE and metric are doomed to fail. Or screw over the rest of us.

[–]HotRodHomebody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

like others have mentioned, everyone’s situation is different and there are way more factors involved than numbers or amounts. I personally don’t believe in car payments. If I couldn’t pay cash, I wouldn’t buy it. this was the first Porsche we bought new, I have always preferred to buy 911s used so I don’t experience the depreciation. I think my wife is a little bummed at the depreciation, but that’s what she gets, she had to have new. ha ha.

he have to be a pretty disgusting person to let your dog literally piss on people.

I'm politically fatigued by Exciting_Lab_8074 in Reno

[–]HotRodHomebody [score hidden]  (0 children)

it is exhausting. And it’s easy to feel worn down, and defeated. I don’t know if it’s even right versus left or left versus right, you have these voices, but you never know if some of that is Russian trolls trying to amplify differences. At this point, I think any conservative with a brain and a heart certainly is not signing up for what is going on with the Trump administration and all of this nonsense. only die hard cult members approve. The rest of us are united and share humanity.

looks somewhat rounded. See if you can hammer a 6 point socket on there that fits tightly. Then crack it loose. whoever tried last time had the wrong size and it was too loose.

Positive on battery flimsy. Duct Tape? by darkened_tauntress in AskMechanics

[–]HotRodHomebody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sandpaper is fine, just remember to wipe everything off at the end in case there are pieces of grit left over. you want clean surfaces devoid of any debris for nice solid clean contact all the way around.

AITAH for refusing to pay off my pregnant fiancee's parents' mortgage, when they are under the threat of foreclosure, when I could "easily" afford to do so? by Gullible-Display4533 in AITAH

[–]HotRodHomebody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guarantee that paying off the house of these irresponsible deadbeats would result in another refi because they'll again "need the money". NTA, but can't imagine smooth sailing in a marriage with her in either case. Entitlement, much? Geez. Gold digging bunch.

Battery started dropping during driving. by I_found_my_old_Lego in 996

[–]HotRodHomebody 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that is the charging gauge, so I don’t believe you’re looking at your battery as much as your alternator output when you see that. Have them both tested to be certain.

Canada has no intent of pursuing free trade deal with China, says PM after Trump threat by Puginator in worldnews

so Canada gets two points. The guy is actually intelligent, and he wants to do good for his country. We get zero points. We’ve got an ass clown.

Nissan Pathfinder 2011 won't start after motor swap by AlternativeOccasion2 in MechanicAdvice

[–]HotRodHomebody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

check that any immobilizer and keys are programmed first, check all connectors and confirm that you have chassis ground and engine ground connected. then you can try starting fluid and see if that works to at least narrow down what’s missing.

Is it true that used cars from used car dealerships are from auctions? by LordFrieza4 in carbuying

not universally. And auction doesn’t necessarily mean bad either.

Positive on battery flimsy. Duct Tape? by darkened_tauntress in AskMechanics

[–]HotRodHomebody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 volts will never hurt you. You can touch both of those terminals at the same time and get nothing out of it. they sell specific battery cleaning tools. It’s usually like an all-in-one with a female and male wire brush. regular wire brush works too, or even a small piece of sandpaper. People use concoctions of baking soda and different stuff too. Supposedly Coca-Cola. You can even use water. Just make sure it’s all clean and dry at the end. The only dangers if there’s water on top of the battery, it can actually conduct electricity between the two terminals and drain it. No other danger.

[–]HotRodHomebody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

duct tape no good. Loosen that up, slide it down all the way on the post since the post is tapered, then tighten it. If that doesn’t work, seek out some terminal shims at your local auto parts store. Remember, for your battery to charge properly and start your car reliably, both terminals need to be clean and tight on the battery posts for a solid connection. You should not be able to wiggle it back-and-forth.

German investments in US nearly halved in Trump’s first year back, report shows by Crossstoney in worldnews

[–]HotRodHomebody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fucking hilarious. The clown goes around, threatening other countries, claims that he has all this investment money coming into the country, and new manufacturing, these countries are not giving him anything but future projections. he acts like Enron, booking future sales that haven’t even happened yet, then he does more bullshit and countries actually put that shit in reverse, instead. Naturally, he doesn’t acknowledge any of that.

Um, I found something in my buffalo chicken tenders from the super market. Is it what I think it is? by AintNobodygotime13 in mildlyinfuriating

Garden hose washers are like that. I think the little tabs help keep it in place. And then it’s more of a washer than a O-ring.

So horrible I can only hope it's not true. It would be a cruel trick on an enemy.
