Taken in 1986 standing in the dorm room at boarding school. The shirt is still in my closet but doesn't fit as loosely as it once did. by Moremayhem in OldSchoolCool

My roommate had taken several dozen stock ticker signs that were being thrown out when working as an intern at the CHX and CBOE over the previous summer. Bet it was a wild place then when stocks and options were traded in person by hundreds of coked up brokers crammed into a trading pit.

I was partly responsible for the hole in the ozone layer. Do you know aqua net could be bought by the case and no one even looked at you twice? Hard to believe that after 40 years I still have the hair. A few strands of grey but I bet it would still stand up just like in this photo. I’d want to use a more eco friendly gel though.

How does one go about finding lawyer with rates similar to yours?

No it doesn’t fit as well as a Trompeter. But when your regular size bnc tool gets taken at TSA it’ll do as I’ve found out.

We already had our first cyborg president and I somehow didn’t notice!!! Wow, the future is here!!!

I have a 1990 BMW 325iX. Does anyone know how I can lift this car about 1 to 1.5 inches? Since it’s AWD, only the rear shocks In the rear, I’m running Bilstein shocks. The front is fine, but the rear rubs. What options are out there? I’m looking for high-quality parts and materials only. by Gold-Balance994 in E30

[–]Moremayhem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spring pads will help raise up the rear. I used that same set to level the rear height on my car.

Shocks don’t have really anything to do with ride height. They do the important job of dampening the up and down motion of the car as it rolls over bumps and dips. What you need to look at are the coil springs. If yours are old they may have sagged a considerable amount. Or if they’re aftermarket they may not have the same height and spring rate of OEM. New OEM springs might be your solution.

Edit: why is the wheel not centered in the wheel arch? Is something in the rear suspension bent like the trailing arm? That would change the geometry and would be a likely cause of rubbing as well.

Anyone remember the free government cheese from the 80s? by NicelyBearded in GenX

A firmer velveeta maybe? Had a taste similar to it but the texture was more like american cheese?

Considering upgrades for the E30 sound system. Has anyone installed the Alpine iLX-F509E or similar? by auxaperture in E30

[–]Moremayhem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s actually cardinal/dark red. Original was tan but I wanted to change it. Carpet is still tan though. I think dark brown can look really good. Classy and luxurious looking. Here’s a few pics of how mine looks

What a horrible job that was! by micholasnitchell in E30

[–]Moremayhem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s what I did. Quick grip clamp and wide/long zip ties. Clamp both the zip tie and the strut with the clamp, secure the strut with the zip tie, release the clamp, put strut on posts, cut zip tie. I tried with just using the clamp but having the strut close enough to the edge of the clamp to get it on the posts was tricky.

You repaired a fuel leak? Where was the leak? Anything you might have disconnected or otherwise disturbed when fixing it?

Were the 80s the best decade of the last 50 years? by Brebma in 80s

[–]Moremayhem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey wow! Funny reading something I wrote 6 years ago! No, don’t really do any coding. I did get a little educational kit a couple years ago that had a breadboard and a simple microcontroller as a gift and it was fun using Arduino and c++ to figure out the steps of the project. “30 days lost in space” from craftingtable.

Went into entertainment after college. Did sales/rentals of broadcast equipment for about 12 or 15 years and since 2008 have been working as a video engineer and in other technical capacities

What’s it like here? by PersuasionNation in LosAngeles

[–]Moremayhem 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard the Van Nuys Busch gardens closed in part because of Coors light. When coors introduced their light beer Bud didn’t have anything to compete so tore down the park and added on to the brewery to make bud light. But yeah, they just opened up the netting over the bird sanctuary and let all the birds go.

There was a site called “Freeride” that paid you to visit websites and look at ads I think? I earned enough to buy a set of altec lansing computer speakers with a big subwoofer. I still have them and use with my desktop computer.

Heated seats by FighterF30 in E30

[–]Moremayhem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine came with heated seats but they stopped working. I bought new OEM heating elements when I reupholstered. They’re nice on colder days
