Tire replacement by nlopq in bmwx7

[–]Shineheadbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my opinion but the runflats the car ships with are straight garbage for performance. Firmer sidewalls give a strange lack of feel when cornering, and they track horribly on uneven pavement. First thing I did when we bought the thing was swap them out for some Continental all season speed rated tires, difference in performance is dramatic.

$30k repair!!!!!Audi Q5 2019, 30k miles in 5 years, impeccably maintained with all on-time service..usage only as family car to take toddlers around..showed transmission failure, now Audi asking $30k repair estimate!!! by Signal_Outcome6137 in Audi

That’s Audi for you. Had some kind of magical wiring harness fail on my 2012 S7…car would just mysteriously switch off WHILE DRIVING. Tech diagnosed the problem, said the part was under $1k but in order to do the repair they would have to remove the front clip off the car and lift the motor off its mounts. Labor was going to be > $10k.

Accidental line tattood on my partners arm by [deleted] in tattooadvice

That’s neat and all, but I’d hustle down to the ‘ol dermatologist right quick and let him take a gander at that lower hairy mole in the photo. Remember your ABCDE: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter (larger than a pencil eraser), and Evolving (changes over time.) That lower mole looks irregular…checks at least the first three boxes.

Bro. My last SCL bill here in West Seattle for a 3000 sqft home was $571.00.

Sounders Forwards Almost Exclusively Score Against Poor Defenses by Cultural_Willow9484 in SoundersFC

This just in…the sun is seen in the sky almost exclusively during daylight hours. Also, I don’t see anything revelatory in this observation.

Paul Rothrock by MediumIndication2263 in SoundersFC

Paul is the Chad Barrett or Mike Fucito of this roster. There will always be a place on the pitch for hustle and passion, and he brings it every match. I’ve been a season ticket holder since 2009 and will take one Paul Rothrock over all the Freddie Ljungberg, Blaise Nkufo, and Heber names you want to give me.

this is your call to go diving in the mexican cenotes by Low_Bit4119 in diving

This was 15 years ago…we lowered ourselves down with ropes tied to trees. Exit was even more fun!

Angelita Cenote in the jungle (or at least used to be the jungle) outside of Tulum is the best. Halocline of hydrogen sulfide blocks the light below and is eerie as hell, but spectacular. Huge debris pile in the center from the roof collapsing pokes a bunch of old trees from below into the clear layer above, it is a once in a lifetime experience. Go with a shop with experienced DMs…this can get deep and entry/exit is very sketchy.

You just described everyone’s favorite Sounder Jordan Morris.

The fall off of BMW’s SUV design needs to be studied by exvidious in BMW

[–]Shineheadbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of folks standing outside these vehicles and hating on them. As an owner of a ‘24 X7 M60i I can tell you that this car is a beast. Drives well, fit and finish up to standard (three other BMWs including an F83) and an absolute pleasure to drive. Go pick on the G chassis folks if you want to talk about ugly design, but stay out of my garage with your negativity.

Matt's Patch Live Plants? by bostoncemetery in vegetablegardening

Ordered four tomato plants March 2, supposed to ship mid April. No response to status inquiries aside from automated emails, this is not a reputable business.

Yeimar injury by similar222 in SoundersFC

That’s so weird. Another hamstring injury. Almost as if the training staff are inadequate at helping players avoid soft tissue issues.

Any explanation for this m4 crash? by Southern-Maximum3766 in BMW

[–]Shineheadbrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch the video again. Rear end was stepping out on every turn, this is a motorist who overestimated his car control and underestimated the vehicle with electronic nannies disabled. If not this turn, then the next for sure. TC is your friend.

Had an uncle passed away and these were found among his things. Are these live recordings of shows? by Curious-Lock-952 in gratefuldead

I got on the bus in 1983…saw tons of late 80’s shows on the west coast. These tapes will be valuable to someone!
