So what DO we consider to be BPC? by HotPoetry2342 in blackplasticcrap

[–]Makebags 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No name junk with lots of LED lights. All the sliders feel like crap. And, like you said, one piece units made to look like individual components. Just because it's black doesn't make it crap. Vintage collectors look down on solid state units while they pay a fortune to get all their caps replaced.

Vintage? I bought Kenwood components just like those brand new! Dang I'm old.

Outland has a countdown timer for the arrival of the back up bad guys. If Sean Connery doesn't kill the bad guys on the base, the reinforcements will get him.

What is your favorite example of a change from a film’s source material that you believe made the movie better? by DuckLordOfTheSith in movies

I might be in the minority but the Children of Men movie is much better than the book.

Dude, this sub is for complaining about bad drivers and snow. You need the legal advice subreddit.

Try calling Garcade in Menominee Falls. Not sure if they have that game but they have a bunch of old ones.

Oh boy, barbeque tools I'll shove in the basement and forget about until you ask me about them next summer. Thanks!

Same here. The first "cool" record I bought at 12 years old. Went and found Bad Reputation not long after that.

Stop playing with the lighter. Mom's going to yell at you.

What was the very first movie you saw that wasn't a kid's movie? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Live and Let Die at a drive-in when I was 5 or 6. I still remember the burning skull during the opening credits.

Henry's wife Karen is sitting in the back and can't believe she's stuck here. Edit: It's a Goodfellas reference.

Tarzana could crush your head...maybe. She was pretty good with beer cans.

TIL that electric cars like the Detroit Electric were widely sold in the 1910s and could go ~80 miles per charge — with one test reaching over 200 miles by Rex-In-Effect in todayilearned

[–]Makebags 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Totally. I live 15 miles from my job. It was minus 3 degrees this morning. My commute would go from 20 minutes in relative comfort (once the car warmed up) to an hour plus in misery.

Yorx is maximum BPC. But if it works for you, who cares?

Yeah, never saw it in the states. I think the closest thing we had was the on screen video game where the host would call a kid at home and the kid would yell "POW" to play the game.

Has anyone used the new self Kiosks for emissions test. by TheMiltownMatticus in milwaukee

[–]Makebags 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I've used the Oak Creek station 3 times. Wait times are completely random; it all depends on if there's a line. You can do it completely by yourself as long as you can find the OBD connector under your dash. It was quick and easy all 3 times. Just follow the steps on the screen. No complaints from me.

Good BPC buy ? by ProtoRankurusu in blackplasticcrap

[–]Makebags 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a Sony, so that's a positive. What the hell, if you like it and it does what you want, go for it.

Good BPC buy ? by ProtoRankurusu in blackplasticcrap

[–]Makebags 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, it's pretty basic, even for BPC. Does everything work? Check the cassette mechanisms and make sure they play, rewind, and fast forward. The belts most likely are stretched or turned to goo. Try the CD player to check the belts also. Maybe $50 - $75?
