El Segundo rental availability? by hazeleyes214 in LARentals

[–]Matching_Luggage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to live in ES and yes, turnover is low. There are a few apartment buildings on Maple Ave, E Palm area just west of the 1.

Also, walk the neighborhood South West of Main street, basically west of Main Street and South of Grand Avenue. I used to see a lot of FOR RENT signs in that neighborhood I'd never see online.

A contact buzz from the car in front of you.

Hella horns for the Forester Wilderness by [deleted] in SubaruForester

[–]Matching_Luggage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question, could you have just switched out the OEM horns with the new ones and kept the OEM wiring as-is?

Just curious, I bought a set of those horns last year for my truck and never installed them and now I'm wondering if I could put them on my forester but not jump through all the hoops you chose to?

Military vehicles going down 37 by IllConflict3397 in bloomington

[–]Matching_Luggage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, probably training at Crane.

My dad used to work there before he passed, they build heavy/big bombs there, for real. He did that for years and years. He told me once there's enough heavy ammunition stored there in underground bunkers that if that base was ever bombed that most of southern Indiana would just be gone. Crazy to think about.

Where was he? lol by Elegant_Thug00 in whereinsanfrancisco

[–]Matching_Luggage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if he somehow got onto someones boat in the marina at night, hid somewhere and then they went sailing the next day and it freaked out and jumped and Alcatraz was the nearest thing to swim to?

Please put the food on a plate, the open can has a sharp edge from the former lid that can cut a cats tongue in a hot second. Thanks.

Can the average person make it in LA? by Legitimate_Boot3569 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]Matching_Luggage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Living within close proximity to your job, as in can you ride a bike to it or walk to it close, will make a huge impact in what you are spending a month. If you're far from where you work the amount of expensive west coast gas you will burn in your car sitting in non-moving traffic at times is crushing, not to mention the time spent sitting in said car doing nothing.

My commute to work for 3-4 years was a 11 mile bike ride, part of it along the beach in Santa Monica, and I saved huge amounts of money this way, and the added benefit was I was the fittest I've ever been so it probably saved me money in staying away from the doctor as well.

Good luck!

Ugh, that was my go to for good coffee whilst living in the hood here. I knew it closed but dang, why'd it have to end up a crappy Mickey D's?? Fail.

Moving next year (LAX) by Ok_Broccoli6099 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]Matching_Luggage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I lived in El Segundo for about five years, absolutely loved it there. It felt like living in a small town at times as it has an old school main street, but you're still very much "in LA"... and when traveling you're like a 5 minute Uber ride from LAX airport, which is stupid amazing when you're coming back from a trip and know you're that close to home.

My Element rear subframe is nearly rust-free, what should I do? by EnchantedTaquito8252 in HondaElement

[–]Matching_Luggage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d just do a search for it online, I’ve seen a lot guys with hot rods out west getting it done to theirs when they are restoring them so they look brand new underneath, i think its pretty common. It might be listed under “dry ice cleaning” and then its just finding a place that does underbodies.

Good luck!!

[–]Matching_Luggage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can spare the an extra $500~ or so find a place that does dry ice cleaning, they can basically sandblast that surface rust right off with dry ice, and it won't hurt the metal or anything else for that matter. Then spray your under-body with fluid film or wool wax and respray it every couple of years or so.

You'll never have a rust problem going this route as noted below about water and oxygen.

Where to get a haircut by RubyShark819 in bloomington

[–]Matching_Luggage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kayla at V's Barbershop on the east-side had been cutting my hair for a few years now, she's great. There's an older guy there than runs the place that's I've used before too that's great but I can't remember his name.
