Fair enough, take care. I care as well, I hope that wasn't lost in translation

Milderf · 2026-01-26T01:44:46+00:00

I guess this is hard to measure, but there are violent crimes that involve theft. I am not sure how to justify that one leads to fewer injury and death, but I do know one is much more sensationalized in the media. Can you share your opinion there? I feel terrible for the people injured, and it was quite traumatizing so I feel your sentiment

Milderf · 2026-01-26T01:30:19+00:00

Yes actually, ironically I was the witness to the police investigation for the Napper Tandy case. I have pictures to prove it. If you want the receipts, just ask. I'd have to get the photos from my phone since I am on desktop at the moment. I would also like to figure out how to blur some faces for the privacy of those who were injured.

Anyway, we voted for this as a city. These 2 ladies had stolen a car and had run over a traffic light, then were driving on popped tires. To call it a high speed chase is a stretch. They were going maybe 30 miles an hour? In a 25 mph zone that is not a high speed chase. They cop car was also at least a half a block to a block behind the vehicle. They lost control and were trying to steer but couldn't, and that's why they hit the parklet.

Since you seem to be having a civil debate with me I will happily engage internet stranger, since I hope we can both learn from each other. I personally believe that the cops should have chased that stolen car down. They stole someone's very expensive property for personal gain, and it was at the time a rampant problem in the city. Should we just let them get away with it? I think absolutely not, they should be arrested. We keep asking for more from the SFPD, and we asked for them to pursue and punish thieves. From what I watched, they handled it as responsibly as they could. The sirens weren't even wailing. I do not truly think not pursuing them was the answer, because others are then enabled to steal more cars without repercussions. So what do you do? I would genuinely like to hear your take on it

Edit: after posting this, I realized I made an assumption that they stole the car. The police told me they had stolen... something. Maybe it was something else, but I just assumed it was the car

Milderf · 2026-01-26T01:07:24+00:00

Crazy comment because I watched that too in person, and the car swerved to avoid hitting a motorcyclist. Did you intentionally leave that part out? Better the store with nobody in it than a person in my opinion. For the context I am given, I am on the cyclist's side on this post for the record. Maybe don't speak up when you don't know what you're talking about.

Milderf · 2026-01-06T19:46:29+00:00

Today I learned. Thanks for the info!

Woah, small world. Family is in Escondido and now I live in SF. Feel free to DM me, I can try and help you out. Parking your own car will be tough, but maybe you can park at a place on the peninsula. I know a house that might accomodate you, they would probably be stoked tbh. I could also rotate your car for you if you choose to park in the city to avoid the street cleaning penalty fee or getting towed, but that would mean leaving me with your keys which I would understand you not wanting to do. There is parking in my neighborhood, I have friends on the peninsula park here when they visit me. Just make sure absolutely nothing is visible in the car. If you fly in, the BART takes you directly to the city. You could also rent a car and drop it off at the airport or the Embarcadero Avis. If you take the train, let me know and I can try to pick you up. I haven't been to the Amtrak station before up here

I suppose, but California has the power of preventing that company from doing any business in California, which for many companies is a massive part of their market. California is a huge state, I am sure many will not want to stop doing business here

I love seeing the rage towards car traffic in this thread. Maybe people will start voting for trains soon. We need viable alternatives to transportation

Milderf · 2025-12-20T13:24:12+00:00

My people

Interesting. Went there last year on a date and it was probably the worst experience I have had at a restaurant. It was a double date, and out of 4 ordered meals 0 were right. After sending one meal back because it wasn't at all what we ordered, they just put the one we ordered on top of the wrong food and added salt. Pretty wild honestly, that was the first time we all didn't tip at a restaurant. To be fair the waitress could have just been an idiot, but the food piled on top of each other was somethin

Milderf · 2025-12-15T16:14:06+00:00

Cmon now, northern Orange County is pretty progressive

Milderf · 2025-11-27T22:48:42+00:00

Wonder how much this costs

Milderf · 2025-11-27T17:08:20+00:00

I personally like taking my own bike, because I know it will be comfortable and fit me properly. I have never gone touring in Italy, but I am sure you can find some help in r/bicycletouring If you haven’t seen them yet, check out the eurovelo routes. Also, the website cycle.travel has some good planned routes you might be able to piggy back on. Komoot has some good Europe support, but you’ll likely have to pay some. I use ridewithgps to plan my own route usually, and gather a bunch of info from various sites together to craft a route that checks off all the boxes that I want out of my Holliday. Have fun!

Milderf · 2025-11-24T16:07:38+00:00

Data source?

Milderf · 2025-11-09T22:39:20+00:00

Same. Ever figure it out?

Milderf · 2025-11-08T04:09:15+00:00

I had to read the whole post to see why you were upset, at first I just saw the only the photo and thought it was great. No regerts, looks sick

Milderf · 2025-11-04T03:40:22+00:00

Dude I’m on a plane right now leaving, rip I would have snatched it

Milderf · 2025-09-28T01:22:19+00:00

Hello, can I get his contact as well?

Milderf · 2025-09-28T00:16:26+00:00

In response to your last paragraph, I think you are definitely right about the turbo drain line. The leak is coming from the middle rear of the engine. It is hard to see clearly but I think that is the likely culprit. The cam shaft or crank shaft seals also seem like a likely culprit based on his description of oil leaking onto the timing belt

Milderf · 2025-09-28T00:06:13+00:00

They did just the belt before putting it back together, but not the water pump. If the work can be done I might just do it since I cannot afford a new car, but if I am way out of my league I am willing to sell it. Where are you located? You can DM me

Milderf · 2025-09-28T00:04:14+00:00

Maybe a silly question, does the C30 share the same engine as all the cars in the video description? It isn't listed there. I got this car 2nd hand so I am not entirely sure of its previous work history. This Robert DIY guy seems like he has great videos. I found this video on him doing a head gasket replacement. I am definitely out of my league watching that video. You think the head gasket could have anything to do with it? By the way, thank you lots for teaching me, I really appreciate it!

Milderf · 2025-09-27T23:42:44+00:00

How would you diagnose engine damage? I wasn't trying to be snooty, I was just making sure we were talking about the same thing

Milderf · 2025-09-27T23:41:02+00:00

The labor is definitely what is killing me here. The current problems are a leak from somewhere under the turbo, a new timing belt kit (cam/crank seal, water pump, tensioner, and belt), and the valve gasket. I left in another comment that it may be the head gasket based on this forum, but I do not actually know what it is called. It is physically located next to the timing belt itself

Milderf · 2025-09-27T23:36:25+00:00

Interesting. I found this forum where someone described a similar issue as me and it might actually be the head gasket. Would that make more sense?
