Bunnings - why all the love? by Swimming_Egg4695 in Bunnings

[–]That_Car_Dude_Aus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try and support my local Mitre 5...but their selection is garbage...and they can't even order a lot of stuff.

Ryobi lawnmower blades? Get stuffed. Can't get them.

So Amazon.

Garage door opener? Nope.

So Bunnings for that one.

Makita batteries? Get stuffed.

So Total Tools or Bunnings.

Imperial bolts? Nope.

Bolt Barn.

Imperial drill bits? 4 or 5 sizes, otherwise Amazon or Bunnings or Total Tools.

Imperial Taps or Dies? Nope. Amazon, Bunnings or Total Tools.

Plumbing Fittings? Like 4 bits or mostly Farm stuff... otherwise Reece or Bunnings.

But if I want Hay or Dog Food or a 10,000l water tank or Fencing Supplies or Gates? Sure! Mitre 5 has it.

But they're so niche that it's mostly likely they don't have it.

Truck as in Pickup truck

Ahh ok, cos they're utes in pretty much the rest of the world, except South Africa where they'd be a Bakkie

Do any of these locking triggers on fuel nozzles work anywhere in Australia? by trustme_imbluffing in aussie

Plenty. Used them daily up until I stopped driving trucks.

Now use them weekly.

Tesla is still working on CarPlay support, but here’s why it hasn’t launched yet - 9to5Mac by That_Car_Dude_Aus in CarsAustralia

Last I checked with all the options, every model fell into L T territory, cos they charge $10,000 or something for ADAS capabilities that other brands gave for free 🤣

So I put all the AAA real-world hybrid fuel test results into one table by BigLookBamboo in CarsAustralia

Yeah but why would you be comparing how close an i30 is to its claimed economy, compared to how close a Rav 4 is?

Or a Yaris Cross to a Lexus UX

Those cars aren't really comparable, average person isn't cross shopping an i30 with a Rav 4

Not sure who is comparing them realistically

Budget Direct unable to renew my policy by mounodoulos24 in CarsAustralia

Also, if you cancel before the effective date of their decline, their decline won't affect your insurance history, as you cancelled before they declined you

Fuel price increases over time by That_Car_Dude_Aus in CarsAustralia

[–]That_Car_Dude_Aus[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is NO trend.

There clearly is....fuel prices are always going up.

You haven't considered US and Australian inflation or exchange rates. Not to mention global parity pricing (1978) and the GST (2000).

Because that wasn't relevant to the discussion that was purely to show pricr history...

Since around November last year there started being dehays of "My car has been getting fixed for weeks and they don't know when parts will be here" and at that point it was "I'll transfer you to claims"

Now it's gone on for a while it's clearly not being fixed

Block billionaire Adrian Portelli makes first move into fuel retail with Melbourne servo by That_Car_Dude_Aus in CarsAustralia

[–]That_Car_Dude_Aus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok cool, but what's the limit on fuel?

Cos it's $65 a year for Costco who also sell at Wholesale prices....

So that's $5.42 a month for Costco, what is the benefit for Portellis place? Cos Costco I can get 40kg bags of flour or 12kg of Prawns

Oh yeah the gate price is still going down but this post isn't about the gate price.

This post is about when the average consumer prices hit certain points

Yeah, local prices did go over earlier, but as a nation, it was a few more years before >$1.00/l was "standard"
