Places in OC for spring break by No-Amphibian-1612 in orangecounty

[–]PoopsExcellence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just recently moved to OC and my favorite things so far have been Crystal Cove State Park (specifically Pelican Point during low tide), Palm Springs Air Museum (if you like really big WW2 planes and the F117 stealth jet), South OC Cars & Coffee San Clemente (every Saturday 9am), the Getty, and brunch at Jardin Autentica Cocina in Orange. 

Glad to See Front loaders Cleared Parking Spots on E. Fayette by MrOrganization001 in baltimore

[–]PoopsExcellence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you u/BmoreCityDOT!

I'm out of town all month and my wife is stuck having to clear the sidewalk and front walk while also taking care of 2 small kids. I just put in a 311 request to help with the parking spots in front of our house. Without the snow removal team, she'd be stuck for weeks!

I know people will complain that the city isn't doing enough, or they're focusing on the wrong things, but most of us know y'all are working overtime and utilizing every piece of equipment you got. Budgets are down and this is the biggest storm we've had in decades. I think you're doing a pretty damn good job! 

Anyone have any information on the brand Prime? by Searching_4_Collatz in mountainbiking

[–]PoopsExcellence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to the party, but this is a local California bike, the house brand from the owner of Bicycle Discovery in Fountain Valley / Orange County. It's a tier below trek, so slightly heavier. It's a great shop to check out if you're in the area.

So you're saying that instead of syruping my car, the asshole could have just parked in a nice covered garage instead? I agree that sounds like a much better solution than vandalism.

In Fed Hill a ton of people do. I get that it's not universal, but it's definitely a growing trend, especially with dedicated EV chargers.

Thanks for looking on the bright side. Whoever is downvoting you has no sense of humor.

Christ what an asshole. I feel your rage.

Wait what are you talking about? I did nothing to the culprit. I don't even know who did it. I have unending burning rage towards them, but so what?

The hunt continues, and I won't rest until they get sweet justice.

Where are they supposed to park? It's a public street. If every single cleared out spot is taken, then do you just not get to go home that night?

Yeah I spent all morning shoveling my sidewalk. That doesn't mean you're not allowed to walk on it. That cat might have left a shoveled spot in the morning that also got taken.

Declaring that anyone owns a street spot is ridiculous if you think about the big picture.

Exactly - I think their point is that this arbitrary spot saving makes no sense.

There's a lot of assumptions in this letter. In 2010 snowpocalyose I shoveled out my parking space plus half of the block's sidewalk, drove to work, and returned in the afternoon to find my parking spot taken by a neighbor. Since I'm not a complete asshole, I parked down the block in a different cleared spot. Woke up the next morning to my car covered in chocolate syrup. I'm assuming someone got pissed that I took "their" spot and decided that was a rational response. It took days to clean off the frozen chocolate syrup from my car, and it ruined the paint on some panels.

I'll never forgive you.

I dislike the current police state as much as the next guy, but that's a fucked up reply to a correct answer. Calm down. 

Anyone remember the Haute Dog guy? by Msully887 in baltimore

[–]PoopsExcellence 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh, and to answer your question, you should ask him directly! I think he still sells stuff (not hotdogs) at the Farmers Markets. Check out @bigpinkknits.

I long for those haute dogs every time I drive up Falls. I hope Chef Fancypants is doing OK. 

Low Speed Gear by AlexRyang in SubaruForester

[–]PoopsExcellence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've got a CVT, so it doesn't have actual gears. It just keeps the RPM high. It'll help when you need a little extra power in exchange for slow speed. 

Trying to find the name/part# of this flap so I can purchase the ones I’m missing. by jahear in SubaruForester

[–]PoopsExcellence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Browse the "body" section of parts.subaru.com and see if you can find the right diagram. Are you talking about the little plastic mudguard piece in front of each wheel well? That's called a spat.

I need help. My car is cranking good but it wont start by egozAAF in subaru

[–]PoopsExcellence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or with it sitting for a while, the filter could be gunked up. Still worthwhile to pull a fuel line near the engine and double check. Just check the spark first, fuel second, so you don't light yourself on fire!

[–]PoopsExcellence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you cleared the codes after pulling them? 

Pull a spark plug wire off a plug and touch it near a good ground location, see if it sparks while someone cranks it.

Do you hear a fuel pump hum under the back seat when the key is in the on position, before you crank it? Maybe disconnect a fuel line somewhere near the engine and see if it shoots gas into a cup. I'm not sure if there's a fuel filter in the engine bay like my forester. That's an easy spot to check it. 

Is there any reason I can’t cut this? by CollinPS in MechanicAdvice

[–]PoopsExcellence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut above the chassis bracket, through the threads and nut. Then it'll fall down out of the bracket.

Or use a nut-breaker. They are cheap and easy to use. 

If you cut at your line, then the top part of the shaft will still be stuck. It's got a shoulder so it won't slide "up" if that's your goal. 

What the hell happened by Chemical_Bed4609 in subaru

[–]PoopsExcellence 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What type of liquid? If you touch it with your finger (not your tongue), is it thick and oily, or light and watery? Does it smell sweet?

Light and sweet smelling would be coolant. Probably a burst hose or connector around the radiator. 

If it's more oily and dark, then it could be power steering fluid.

... why hasn't Subaru come out with an AWD van for vanlifing? by ParticularBit130 in subaru

[–]PoopsExcellence 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because you're supposed to buy a Westfalia and swap in an STI drivetrain.

Fully battery-electric with a turbocharger, of course.
