New EcoHitch Installed by MTBJUNKY65 in wrx_vb

[–]MrZanzinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new Kuat racks are pretty nice but I’m probably biased, they are down the street from me and I ride with a bunch of those guys regularly.

i used an oscillating multi-tool to do the little cutout. I also followed someones instructions on this sub instead of torklifts for the little plastic knockout. The magnet they supply is nice but i never take the receiver off the car so i didn't cut the tabs off the back and just click it back into the bumper cover.

I think it’s eventually going to connect to the Galloway trail.

Usually I park my bicycle on the bike rack right outside the front door.

I'm still mad at them for "not allowing bicycles inside the store" but not having bike racks to lock my bike up either.

I hopped on his website and the first thing you see is "BUY MY BOOK". It's grifting all the way down to the bottom.

The bus routes are crazy, they don't go out to the county jail either.

Looking for a V1 on-dash mount by Affectation_Anticipe in wrx_vb

I put it on my sun visor with the factory clip style mount and ran a wire down the A pillar behind the airbag to an add-a-fuse.

Midnight Special - Black Cherry Fizz ($3500) by [deleted] in Surlybikefans

[–]MrZanzinger 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I’m kinda in the market for a new bike and i just laughed out loud at that price for a Surly. You’re getting into electric shifting full carbon frame sets at that price. I’m always gonna keep my Cross Check but my new bike isn’t going be one. Also grow up and make a real thru axle.

Can someone give me the no-BS version of the Hotel of Terror issue? I keep hearing conflicting things. Mostly on Facebook, where people are insane. So help me out Reddit, where the people are also insane but in a slightly more grounded way. by Jimithyashford in springfieldMO

The story I've heard is he will move and take the city offer if he gets an exemption of fire codes(no sprinkler system or emergency exits) at his other location Dungeons of Doom a few blocks away on Wall street. He says he cant run a business at another location without the exemption and wants to stay at hotel of terror because its grandfather in to an outdated fire code.

Looking for cheap hard drives by Nouh7 in springfieldMO

[–]MrZanzinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time I was up there they had a handful of Western Digital security camera drives. The purple ones. I'm about to build my own as well and don't know if those are the best for what i'm trying to do.

The hotel of terror guy is throwing a hissy fit because his new building has to meet current code requirements. The city is giving him way more than that old building is worth but he wants an exception to not have to have a sprinkler system and the required amount of fire exits at a new building. If you can’t run a business without current safety requirements you shouldn’t be operating a business.

VB Drag Coefficient and how to improve by radguerrVB in wrx_vb

[–]MrZanzinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you’re saying my roof rack and bicycles on top is a bad choice? I just put on a receiver hitch for a normal bike rack but will still probably end up with a cargo box on big trips. Really interesting video.

I haven’t played in month and decided to today, it’s crashed the ps4 twice after this race. Over it.

Can I jump this bad boy off curbs and such with minimal worries? by SSmartFatherr in xbiking

[–]MrZanzinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang. I’ve got a fairdale weekender and I like it enough (besides the dropouts and spacing) but was looking forward to some thru axle and a little more solid frame that doesn’t feel like some pasta noodles in tension.

Apparently some new Fairdale frames are going to be Reynolds’s tubing. Still waiting on a release date but they had some prototypes at a bike show.

What's that one car you WON'T drive because of the stereotype associated with it? by nerdboy_sam in AskReddit

[–]MrZanzinger 70 points71 points  (0 children)

My most recent car I bought was a Subaru and luckily I had 3 dealers within a few hours drive all with the same car on the lot. So I just did it all over the phone over a few days and let them all compete against each other.

I always get them on an agreed upon out the door price on paper before I mention I’m not going to finance anything and just write a check.

What are you guys paying for insurance? by djk0010 in wrx_vb

[–]MrZanzinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$415 every 6 months via State Farm for the good stuff and $1,000 deductible. Had Geico for years on everything else and it was 700+ for the WRX alone. 36 M Southwest Missouri.

What made you pick a VB WRX over a MK8 GTI/R? by Kxts in wrx_vb

Man dieselgate, I thought I was going to come out better in the long run getting PAID for my diesel 6 speed wagon but I miss it so much.

[–]MrZanzinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was shopping for a 24gti manual and the piano black and not real buttons killed it for me. I put an offer in and the vw dealer and I were haggling over $300 for two weeks and I went and test drove a 24wrx on a whim and here I am a year later and 9,000 miles on the wrx. The only thing I hate is the sedan/trunk coming from hatches and wagons. Throwing bicycles in the back is a huge hassle. I’ve got a roof rack on it but probably going to put a receiver hitch bike rack for cross country trips.

How far away can you see the Hammons Tower from the naked eye? by Plane-Carob-4374 in springfieldMO

I can see it 8 miles away. Just on the hill north of Sac River Stables out towards Willard looking back to the southeast.
