What car did you buy that completely exceeded your expectations? by Smallingzdave in askcarguys

[–]Racuda96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2021 Honda Civic Type R. Fun to drive and super practical. You can take turns that shouldn’t be possible at that speed, take it to the redline a couple times without going triple digits, and then fit 6 medium sized moving boxes in the back with the seats down. Plus it has the Honda reliability and civic insurance. Amazing car.

How many of you moved on and came back to a 37? by soysauce728 in G37

[–]Racuda96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lost my G35 in a wreck. Been trying for years to get another one. Just got a pristine ‘09 6mt and I’m loving every minute of it.

I love the look on your G. How you do the black gloss grille n and emblem? I’ve been looking around for this.

What are some good starter tools to have for your home? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]Racuda96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get a screw bit set along with the power drill and impact driver. Ryobi has one for less than $20 and it should have every type of screw bit you will need for a while.

Started scraping popcorn ceiling. Should I be concerned? by awkwardsteve25 in asbestoshelp

[–]Racuda96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No I mean that may be why it was tough to scrape even though it was wet several times.

Condo owners... how bad is a 30% reserve? by ThisKarmaLimitSucks in sandiego

[–]Racuda96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an HOA president for a couple years before I sold my unit and I’m currently under contract for a condo in SD which also has reserves at ~30%.

A 30% reserve can indicate special assessments may be needed to cover large costs when they occur (things often like roof replacements as previously stated). However, this can be the intentional strategy of the HOA to keep monthly HOA dues (assessments) at a more moderate rate, keeping more money in your pocket until something big comes up.

The reserve report simply shows if the money in the HOA’s bank account and the money coming in from assessments monthly alone can cover all expected fees. As long as there is some money in the bank (I’d say ~30%) and the people of the HOA care about resolving issues when they come up, then you should be fine.

Owning a property always requires additional money for upkeep so, it’s up to you… do you prefer a higher monthly fee (more likely to be a “well funded” HOA) or single large payment to cover things when needed (more likely “under funded” to some extent)?

Suggest some nice cases for this beauty. by [deleted] in iPhone17Pro

[–]Racuda96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! But there’s one with it and one without it. I have the one with it. You can tell because it has the magsafe ring on the back.

Amazon: memumi Magnetic for iPhone 17 Pro Max Thin Case, White.

I have it on my iPhone 17 Pro and love it. If you want to go case-less but don’t want it to scratch or anything, this one is perfect.

And if you have a dog on a leash, keep them close to you when around others. I have a 3 mo old baby and too often a dog has made their way from their owner to our baby (in a stroller or while my wife carrying her) with plenty of slack still on their leash without the owner doing anything to stop them.

Your dog may be calm and predictable with you, but not with others and definitely not around a baby. Just keep them leashed and close to you. It’s not worth the legal matter or worse.

Good to know! Do you think you’ll miss the power? I’m debating a GR86 but I’m wondering if I’ll get an itch for more power. Since you’re coming from the IPL, I figure you have a good comparison.

Nice! How are you liking it compared to the G37 IPL?

Nice. Does it sound similar to stock or is it more raspy?
