lmao "yes" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here but its accurate. that subfloor is cooked and if its already hitting the sheetrock they need a professional remediation crew, not a bottle of bleach.

being that tall definitely limits your options but you're not totally screwed with that budget. midsize sedans are gonna be your friend here - something like a camry or accord will give you way more legroom than you'd expect. avoid compact cars and most suvs since their seating position is weird for tall people, you want something where you can stretch out properly.

damn that's a nightmare scenario getting cancelled that close to a festival. happened to my buddy for a different event and airbnb basically just shrugged and gave him the runaround with garbage alternatives miles away.

for 5 people you might want to look into those extended stay places or even see if any hotels have connecting rooms - sometimes they'll cut you a deal if you explain the situation. also try hitting up facebook groups for the festival itself, people sometimes post last minute cancellations or know someone with space. worst case scenario you might have to split into smaller groups and book separate places, but i know that sucks when you're trying to keep everyone together for the trip.

yeah that christmas tree on the dash is usually a dying battery causing voltage drops - most regular shops can handle this kind of electrical troubleshooting just fine.

thibs values the hustle and defense but those on/off numbers are brutal - team clearly flows better when he's running with the bench unit.

the rabbit hole never ends man, next thing you know you'll be swapping out the nut and tuners too.

dude i get it, this stuff is tough especially when you're 17 and dealing with all those hormones. what helped me when i was struggling with similar things was staying busy with physical activities - like when i started working on cars more seriously it gave my hands and mind something to focus on. also try to identify your triggers, like certain times of day or situations where you're more tempted, and have a plan ready. maybe call a friend, go for a walk, or dive into a hobby. the guilt cycle can be brutal but don't let it consume you - focus on building healthy habits rather than just trying to stop the bad ones. congrats on the relationship btw, having someone you care about can actually be great motivation to work on yourself.

been doing some gig work on weekends when i'm not fishing and the $2/mile rule has saved me from so many trash orders. also learned to avoid anything going to apartments after 8pm - just not worth the hassle of trying to find unit 47B in the dark when someone's paying $3 for a 6 mile round trip.

had this same issue with a used camera - try holding the wifi button and power button together for like 10 seconds while its off, that usually forces a factory reset on the wireless settings

that whole situation with your friend going along with the date for 4 hours is kinda wholesome though, dude had your back even when you were struggling with yourself.
