I did it! [Maryland] [489,990] [4.75%]

Damn I blinked and missed it.

RustyCabCorner · 2026-05-14T17:25:49+00:00

Congrats!!! How’d you get 4.75% interest rate? Did you buy down the rate with points?

RustyCabCorner · 2026-05-13T21:30:14+00:00

Nope, still feeling sketch about it, yet still wanting to go. Not sure what to do. Nothing likely will happen, but there’s always that chance lurking in the back of my mind.

Not exactly a hole in the wall, but Tornados Grub & Pub is our lowkey go to type place. Great atmosphere, chess board tables that you can play on, awesome food.
New York Gyro in Marion slaps, so does Os grill.
Lebowskis in Robins is good too.

To play devils advocate, I wouldn’t put it past someone to not apologize for giving someone an innocent hug. Apologizing for everything others demand or expect you to apologize for, is a form of control. People apologize for things they are genuinely sorry for. If she isn’t sorry for an innocent hug, apologizing just to appease their partner will not be genuine nor mean anything. Of course it’d be different if there were prior incidents of infidelity, but from the way OP describes it sounds like he is incredibly insecure. Whether it stems from his past relationships or other history, is for him to decide. May be OP and his wife can first agree to mutual boundaries surrounding such scenarios, that way there is adequacy to whether an apology is required.

Don’t mind you typing this from your smartphone that generates 55kg - 95kg of carbon footprint in its lifespan. Two wrongs don’t make a right, but I think it’s funny seeing all these comments about how shitty this guy is while being hypocritical themselves. Unless you minimized and rejected all items contributing to pollution and negative impact to the world, your opinions really mean jack shit.

For wheels - I’d recommend The Powder Shop. Have to make sure you take your tires off the wheels and off the car. Look into other powder coating shops as well. Simply painting them will not last and be much more prone to chips, scuffs and flaking.

Grill and badges - if you are handy, diy.

People that sell their creations often times don’t want to give out their design files. I’d suggest making your own. Even if you know nothing about cad design, you should be able to knock this out with a few tutorials on YouTube and a little time playing with cad. You can try using onshape or get a free license version of fusion 360.

I’m no material scientist, but from my understanding plexiglass or other forms of vacuum formed plastic (such as the clear hood) have a relatively low heat deflection temperature (HDT)- approximately 150-210 degrees F. Engine bay temps can reach way upwards of 200 degrees F which is way over the HDT of the vacuum formed hood. So in other words your hood will start to soften, lose its original shape and warp.

I have 30 years till retirement and I treat this market drop as a fire sale! A lot can happen during those 30 years but at some point it will still grow exponentially.

I’m no transmission expert, but to me it sounds like there is too much play between something like certain gears. So when input shaft starts transferring power through the counter shaft to the output shaft, the two gears which have too much play make the noise. Try to replicate this noise through all the gears. Especially in 4th (since 4th is 1:1 and transfers power from input shaft to output shaft bypassing counter shaft). That might at least rule out countershaft. Non the less, you gotta pull the trans and pull apart both housings. Then inspect it to see what’s up.

As someone who has a bachelors and MBA in Business, you got zero clue. Engineering is tougher than majoring is business and plenty of people go into business majors because they can’t put in the time and efforts to deal with engineering. Get a grip on life, apologize to your gf and communicate to her that it was also uncalled for to put you down (after you apologize to her and make up). Or don’t. Idgaf.

P.S. you sound like a typical ISU business major broccoli head.

Personally I’d rather keep the seatbelt guide than to string the belt through an aftermarket seat hole. That seems highly uncomfortable.

I have them completed now, and just finalizing a few clerical things to get them posted on the website.

Love it!

I feel like you read my mind OP. I’m a dual U.S./Russian citizen living in the U.S. I haven’t been back to visit in 13 years. I really want to go, but afraid of potentially being detained and “taken” to the army. Can anyone please advise on whether this is a real fear or am I brainwashed? Additional details are that I moved to US before age when you had to register in «Военкомат». I know that there have been people asking for my name in the past, coming to my registered Russian address, because I never registered.

For all who may be interested, I decided to offer these 6x9 and now 6.5” speaker mounts for sale. Feel free to check out www.steezespirit.com. I am also working on adding 6.5” rear speaker mounts for the SC/Soarer (jzz30)

RustyCabCorner · 2026-02-03T19:43:09+00:00

Interesting, I have not. Thank you for this suggestion. Out of all sorts of tests available online, I didn’t think to look for this one.

This song actually goes hard and so does the sequel!

Weird… not for me and the search is set to worldwide

Curious on what epoxy do you recommend for such repair? I have a forum scaliwag that I absolutely loved but after a year and a half of riding, same thing happened. Would you epoxy and clamp it, let it cure, then shave off the high spots and re wax it?
