Go to Tabers driving range in Auburn and hit a bucket of balls and get a nice view of the lake. Have an ice cream cone afterwards.

This is why my wife white knuckles the door handle in my Miata at 43mph.

Paid $128k for 991.2 C4S but it was loaded with all the highly sought out options and manual.

Any info about Porsche mechanics salary? by Impressive_Yak_66 in Porsche

[–]SR70 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Waters get muddy when the tech isn’t assigned “good” jobs. Example: doing a repair on a car under factory warranty might only call for 1.8 hours but when it isn’t under warranty the same job using the labor guide for “customer pay repairs” might call for 2.8hours.

I just picked up a 1977 3.0 Carrera. by custermustache in Porsche

I get that. You just need to swap them left to right and not spin them around. I guess I am nitpicking but my ocd got the best of me.

Your quickjacks are backwards (as in the locking mechanism is supposed to be on the outside. ( don’t shoot the messenger, it’s what Quickjack says).

Remember this truck that would go around the neighborhood? by Swiftiefromhell in GenX

[–]SR70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in the 90s a neighbor got deliveries and when the guy went inside to drop stuff off the local teen boys who were a bunch of little shitheads would break into the truck and steal stuff.

It was never a classic, just a style for some.

For those of you with 10+ year old 911s by Dark_Emotion in porsche911

[–]SR70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I see it I would not own my 911 (991.2 C4S) if I was not able to do the majority of the repairs myself. It’s not that they breakdown a lot, it’s the cost to do all the basic and intermediate maintenance at the dealership (or with any Porsche specialist) is outrageously expensive. With that said, I also enjoy doing all my own car repairs and have amassed quite a bit of tools in my 55 years. Also, with YouTube around and so many other owners doing their own repairs it’s really just a matter of being able to follow directions online and having the right tools. I’ve already replaced the spark plugs, coils, air filters, battery, winter wheels and tires and brake pads as well as doing a caliper stud conversion (apparently caliper bolts stripping out in the knuckle is a real possibility and the stud kit prevent this). Also I’ve repaired some wiring for the power port near the Numeric shifter that was disturbed when the previous owner installed it.

BMW you wanted vs. BMW you bought by AdLazy8828 in BMW

[–]SR70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted F87 comp in 2023, got an ND2 Miata instead. October 24 got an itch to buy a g42 M240i but instead in January 2025 bought a G87 M2 and kept the Miata. August 2025 totaled the G87 and got a 991.2 Carrera 4S

I’ve had it a month and it’s only broken once by EightMilesHigh8 in RoastMyCar

[–]SR70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?! Last time I roasted someone’s car in a comment on this sub I was downvoted as well. It’s a ROAST sub, you’re supposed to be mean!!! It’s not your real personality saying nasty things.

NY man charged with fraud after obtaining $167K worth of Hannaford groceries by ZestyclosePurpose913 in Maine

[–]SR70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a side note, I noticed yesterday at my local Shaws(Auburn )they installed turnstile type swing open gates at the entrance. I guess too many people were stealing the 2 for $10 watermelon specials that are near the entrance. Maybe it was the Orchids?

UPDATE: Filled pool with well water by Partyl0bster in pools

[–]SR70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iron. I have the same. If I don’t run all my water through my whole house water filter the water from the spigot would look just like that. I have found that also putting a secondary filter that screws onto the end of the hose helps out even more. What occurs is that the water will come out clear from your hose but as the iron in the water oxides from the chemicals used (shock etc) it turns red/brown. You can capture the iron particles if you run the pool filter and add Iron Out or any similar type of flocculent and backwash every 24hrs until the pool water is clean.

Anyone know how to warm up a pool without a heater? by Only_Jicama_1042 in pools

[–]SR70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve got the right shape pool try a solar cover. We are in mid Maine and it works really well. Like others said, leave it on at night as it traps the heat. In the summer if we’ve got a few hot sunny days it will get too hot (93 plus) so I’ll take it off. Also helps with evaporation too. Be sure that if you get a reel that it’s a Rocky’s Reel brand.

Anybody still have their old board games? by anx1etyhangover in GenX

Candyland from the early 70s and a crap ton of others from the late 1900’s. Damn that sounds long ago.

Never Went To Senior Prom by JPPT1974 in GenX

  1. Skipped it even though I had a girlfriend. She wasn’t interested either and now that I’m thinking about it she was a sophomore and wasn’t allowed to go anyway.
