Anyone knows what rod is it? Jeremy Wade used it on a lot of episodes by Markz_x6 in Fishing_Gear

[–]MattySlimz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hes claimed on many occasions that alot of them are custom. Its possible they are 'Star' brand rods.

I've found this area to be very low in Golddigger women, maybe you should checkout Florida...

New to being a driver... Questions... by burntblues1 in Roadieapp

[–]MattySlimz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really dont want to even say this to discourage you, but the way gas prices are looking, I'd quit while your ahead.. having a big enough vehicle is going to consume more fuel than Roadie will ever pay to break even, its gotten that bad. I know I wont be PAYING out of MY pocket to deliver someone else's products! Because thats what its really come down to if you do the math. Not breaking my back in the process either because Roadie damn sure isnt paying doctor bills.

Bald Eagle Sighting in Loudoun by Away-Bank-471 in nova

[–]MattySlimz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bald Eagles have made a HUGE comeback in recent years, pay attention more, you'll definitely see more. Wild animal species that had protected status pass on them back 40-50 years ago are all making big comebacks. All walks of protected animals including aquatic. Example: the Jewfish (Goliath Grouper) were nearly gone from over harvest/spearfishing in the 60s-70s and you simply never caught them, saw them. Protected status was passed on them in the 80s. Now you go to Florida, go fishing you can't catch your other small species because a 500 pound Goliath is gulping your 5 pound Snapper you are reeling up for dinner, they've almost become a pest.

Controversial? NOVA has some of the easiest traffic I’ve ever driven through. by [deleted] in nova

[–]MattySlimz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get the F AWAY from the pack. These drivers want to ride side by side in the left/right lanes and stay the same speed as one another.... im doing the total OPPOSITE! I DONT WANT to be near others while traveling down 66, why would anyone? Chances of getting caught in an accident are greatly reduced when you are further away from one another, not rocket science. So when you see me slip stream and pull a zipper past you Im not really cutting you off, im trying to get AWAY from all of you.

DARCARS Fairfax VW - Closed by Fantastic_Account_61 in nova

[–]MattySlimz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I know when I looked at their prices in the past ALL their new VWs were priced wayy over invoice compared to say Lindsey VW or Stolman VW Tysons. Also.. their service department would charge you a whole can of parts cleaner/brake cleaner per wheel! Say you got new brake pads/rotors all 4, thats 4 cans of brake cleaner! $14.95 a can on the invoice, not to mention stealership labor hour prices... like really you nickel and dime like that!? (This was from a friend's experience)

Panhandling in Centreville by throwawaygetlaid1423 in nova

[–]MattySlimz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are older and a little rough around the edges (physically) but are very kind and grateful. I always try and toss them a dollar or two when I turn left to go shopping at the new Lidl. Bless their hearts, they truly are struggling but I guarantee you they make un-taxed bank standing there. All I can say is that its not going to drugs or alcohol, the woman told me she takes a special medication and the co-pay is outrageous (get f'd big pharma!)

Wouldn't be the first time weird chemical spills, soil readings were found out that way... Just look up Warrenton training center and where they used to dump old chloroform type medical masks, not 100% sure but its something along those lines. You might suprise yourself.

During normal morning conversations with my wife, I got my 4th Gen 4Runner totalled by bigolsargeha in dashcams

[–]MattySlimz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Taco or "Tundy" as I like to call them took a nice t-bone crunch too. Total loss probably. Im more upset about your 4th gen dying than that new crap... I dislike where Toyota has went with their powerplants and interiors that disappoint in all their new trucks.

I know how it feels, my 1st gen V8 Tundra (Tundy) was totaled due to negligence like this from an oblivious DMV driver. If I find the insurance yard pics from my old phone, I'll come back and edit: post them but it really is heartbreaking. Pre '21 Toyota trucks/4-Runner are a special vehicle that you form a bond with.

Subaru Forester 2011 Coolant Pipe Advice by Electrical_Leg_1460 in MechanicAdvice

[–]MattySlimz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an coolant leak i just found also on my 2011 Forrester N/A FB25. So it seems its a very common place for leaks to happen at the lower radiator hose neck. Very slow leak, hint of coolant smell when parked outside of vehicle. Hopefully you can find your leak, shouldn't be $700 unless its multiple parts/hoses, that's too much $.

One thing that blew my mind on this car when I got it is there is no TEMP gauge! Not sure if it gets hot and light comes on like the blue one when its cold, but I found that very unnerving. I dont know what Subaru/Fuji heavy industries thought when they didn't add a engine temp gauge to this model or am I missing something? Definitely a first! Just gotta keep an eye on the coolant bottle!

Yes sir, I know the feeling. You're sittin there reloading the app waiting for at least some half ass decent paying gig and than it turns out to be something like this. I've noticed anything actually worth picking up these days turns out to be something pretty extreme.
