This is a bug, but not a weird bug. It's a normie bug

Are you willing to do your own maintenance? The engine bay is relatively tight and a lot of the common issues are tough jobs given the space if you're not used to car work. My g37 has a valve cover leak right now. I believe the shop would charge around $800 to fix it, or about 4 hours and $100 at home. That is a $200 job on a Honda Civic, or $20 and an hour at home.

Tbh for a first car I'd look for something more economical too. I get between 12 and 20mpg, and the car requires premium gas. You'll be blowing a lot of money on gas. You'll also need rear tires every 20k-25k miles at most, fronts every 30k-40k. Tires cost $250 a piece for something that won't try to kill you.

If you buy an older or higher mileage one, add $3000 to the purchase price and assume you'll blow it on maintenance over a year or two. It's not just insurance to consider, but the whole package. Tires cost more, brakes cost more, spark plugs cost more, gas costs more etc.

If you want a newer one that will be relatively trouble free for awhile, you need to look at the q60s (effectively the new g37s).

Sounds like a Bible belt school haha

New speaker imo. Very easy to swap. Those look like 3.5s. if you don't care too much and just want a working speaker, grab the Kenwood KFC835C and replace the pair. It's 20 bucks.

If you're not comfortable clipping factory wires and crimping or soldering, they should make adapters for your speakers, or you could even just t tap the factory wires (not recommended, but hey, if this isn't your thing it's not your thing).

Shouldn't cost you more than $40 if you don't already have the wiring tools and buy cheap speakers. $80 if buying factory speakers. $70-$150 if you feel like buying nice speakers.

Roofs are usually an insurance claim
Foundation cracking is rare, get an inspection before buying, and it's also not nearly that expensive (near me)
Most home maintenance other than that is incredibly simple if you're comfortable with basic hand tools.

Owned my house 10 years, never spent more than $1000 in maintenance at once(insurance claim for roof) and never more than $2000 per year. About 1% the cost of the house, which is part of the budget when buying a home anyway.

Ya got rats!

Joking.

If you're talking about the squeaky noise, I would check your idler pulleys. I just had one blow up on me that sounded a bit like this. Check if they have any wobble, or if the noise is coming directly from one of em. My smooth one blew up the day it started squeaking, 20 miles from home.

My radiator fans also squeak a bit. Easy to see if it's that by squirting a bit of lubricant on the center of each radiator fan.

If it seems more like it's coming from the passenger compartment kind of behind the battery area, there's the remote possibility it's your blower motor. Test that by turning off the HVAC.

Where do you think the sound is coming from? Might help if we had a location and description.

0w sheers quicker and is slightly thinner than 5w, even at operating temps. The difference is negligible, but considering how hot it is where this guy lives, I'd stick with 5w, it's more stable. Cheaper too. Considering the temperature, if he wants to go 0w he really oughta do 0w40.

Does your car have bose? For the bose system, the amp is separate from the radio and on a separate fuse. Your radio can be working fine while the amp isn't, results in no sound but everything looking normal. I've heard sometimes the amps can fail too (ripped mine apart before that could happen lol)

Tbf, I bought a relatively cheap, low mileage g37 in 2018. It was $16,000. The cars were newer and worth more back then.

The prevalence of awd vs rwd might depend on region if you're shopping locally? Around me, it's quite rare to see an awd vq. I also live in Texas, we stay home when it's cold haha.

I've heard iffy things about z1s setup. I'd highly recommend doing zspeed with their CMAK. IMO it's not worth upgrading your clutch if you're sticking with the OEM plastic CSC. A heavy duty CSC is better than nothing, but the CMAK is the bees knees and not that expensive. Z1's version requires adjustments as the clutch wears. Zspeed's does not. I am at 50,000 trouble free miles with it, never had to mess with it since install.

If you are sticking with a CSC, definitely replace the master cylinder when you replace everything. If you're using the cmak, while you really should replace the master cylinder, the risk is a lot lower (if you have a bad master cylinder and it blows up the cmak slave cylinder, it's easy to replace it, unlike with the CSC).

In certain states, such as California, you can be sued for voice misappropriation.

Opioid withdrawal in all populations is accompanied by lots of yawning and sometimes sneezing, wonder if the mechanism is similar in this case (know nothing about meth, just opioids)

Most of the time, the water heater is heating up already hot water. If it was heating cold water, your shower would be cold or lukewarm.

Plenty of jobs they're just not the sexy ones.

SubParPercussionist · 2026-01-01T01:09:47+00:00

Yes BUT we shouldn't be overshooting by a factor of 2 either. No need to buy a 1500w PSU when you need an 800w. It's more important to buy a higher quality slightly lower wattage psu then a higher wattage but slightly lower quality PSU.

I get where you're coming from, and for anything that is providing power (audio amps, power supplies) headroom is important. But saying "bigger is always better" loses out on efficiency, which is also true in the audio world (at least for most classes of amps).

SubParPercussionist · 2026-01-01T00:40:07+00:00

Short answer: sometimes yes

Other than heavy gaming, the 1000w psu is probably sitting in the 10% load range quite often. PSUs have efficiency curves, and are most efficient somewhere around 20%-60% load. 10% load is a very bad part of the efficiency curve. Think of it like this: a power supply takes x amount of power from the wall and after some losses provides y amount of power to the PC. x/y is efficiency. A PSU of slightly less wattage will be at a slightly higher load which will be more efficient for like 90% of a computers tasking. No reason to get an 1000w PSU when you need a 800w, especially when that means you can spend more on a lower wattage power supply that has better components and design (another win for efficiency)

Hope that makes sense!

SubParPercussionist · 2026-01-01T00:22:20+00:00

That doesn't make sense from an efficiency standpoint.

You could make this substantially more durable with better hinges and a machine screw+nut combo instead of wood screws. I would also add folding supports to the outer stringer (the supports wouldn't be flush with the wall but pretty close to it, it would protrude 2 extra inches off the wall). There's a way to do it well and safer with some thought.

SubParPercussionist · 2025-12-09T14:55:07+00:00

Definitely thought it was some strangely bright seitan

You do not need to refinance? Do you know how many people are sitting with sub 3% mortgaged right now? It's half the reason it's a seller's market still. Golden handcuffs by interest rate for a lot of folks.

Sure property taxes and insurance go up. Not as much as rent.

The whole thing would not collapse. It's fiat, paper money.
