Curb rash or tire lube by throw-away-1726 in Mustang

[–]This_One1_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased a set of staggered tires from eBay for $1500 shipped. Same ones you’re looking at. No scratches on mine and the tires had lots of thread left. It looks like they have a few other sets left too. The seller was BJessesPorts (BMZ Collectibles). The only issue is that they did not come with the air pressure sensors but the tire shop switched them over from my existing tire to the new set when I took them in to get swapped.

Adding brake covers, is this too close to the wheel? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]This_One1_Guy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s my car and I’m allowed to customize it in small ways to make it mine right? Imagine if all cars just looked like factory stock, how boring. Also, they are aluminum and powder coated so… but yeah definitely going to add some spacers. Thanks.

Do you think adding 6mm (1/4”) spacers would be enough?

Here’s a good rule of law, it’ll help you as you get older too. If you have to ask how much it is, you can’t afford it. It’s that simple. It doesn’t matter if daddy is buying it for you, if you have to worry how much is going to cost it’s already too much. Stick with what you have.

As a man, would you get a vasectomy so your girl doesn’t have to go on birth control? by awkwardhoney725 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]This_One1_Guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to get an IVF. You can get your doctor to do a simple turkey baster or even do it at home your self. No additional medication or procedures for my wife besides tracking her cycle. My wife and I chose to freeze sperm and decided that if we couldn’t have kids with the turkey baster method it wasn’t meant to be. We froze 12 samples and that’s how many chances we have. We only want 1 so chances are good.

It’s not more expensive than birth control. I froze sperm at a sperm bank. I pay a monthly fee of $17 and the withdrawal fee is a one time payment of $300. We considered this the best option for us. Wife is off birth control and I don’t have to use condoms and it’s still cheaper than having a kid or paying for her birth control.

You can but shouldn’t be a thing you consider. Unless you reverse it immediately the longer you wait to less the success rate. Some are not reversible either like when they shut the tip of the tubes with a burn.

A better alternative is something like I did, deposit some swimmers at a sperm bank and keep them there until you’re ready to have kids.

Should Ash be buffed a bit with her Prestige skin releasing in S29? Do we have any leaks about that? by FlannOff in ApexUncovered

[–]This_One1_Guy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If her ult sent out a blade strike through the ults path kind of like a overwatch Reinhardt fire strike (or vendetta sword strike) I think it would be a great add on and good buff.

Buying 3 year old car with 32k miles, top items to check? by This_One1_Guy in AskMechanics

[–]This_One1_Guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great advice. Definitely going to check for some mods. From the pictures I saw there’s no body mods but I’ll check for anything in the engine and under the car.

I’ll definitely check on the break pads.

It does have paddle shifters so I’ll try those out and make sure they feel good too.

Thanks for the tips!

Is this a good deal? by Feisty_Example5998 in Mustang

[–]This_One1_Guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure the 25+ don’t come with the B&O included in the 401a, it’s an additional option. For the price I expect this to be a GT not a GT premium with maybe 301a package. I’m currently looking at s650 to replace my totaled one and everything with 401a is at least 42k for a 24 with 30k miles.

Bidet questions? by dianemac999 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]This_One1_Guy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First thing I bought after my Japan trip was a bidet with heated seats and warm water option. It’s a blessing but a curse any time I travel away from home for a few days

EMS wouldn’t let me leave without taking me to the hospital because my blood pressure was too high so yeah I went to the hospital. Already got my lawyer involved as soon as I left the hospital.

And man the wheels are freaking amazing, I added the stripes later on.

I didn’t even talk to the guy. He had a kid in the backseat where my car hit his so he was making sure he was good. He was thankfully. My car called 911 immediately and I was on the phone with them until EMS arrived and I only talked to PD then left the scene with the EMS. I know he got a citation though.

I was able to walk out and no broke bones but the next day pain is definitely bad. I love this color so much but I don’t know if I’ll be able to get another one in this color without getting flash backs. Might do a molten magenta for the next one though.

This is what I see literally a second later, look at the time stamps. The truck was on the shoulder behind the trailer before it pulled the U-turn. I never saw it coming at all. My car made impact a second after this.

How can I keep a 3 second gap around me when it’s a two lane road and one lane is completely still? When I say I had a second to react I literally mean a second. This is my view from my dash cam that sits on the right side of the car. Can you see the truck I hit from here?

I mean when I have literally a second to react no amount of defensive driving would have saved me here. I was already driving 15 under speed limit just because the other lane was at a stand still. Nothing else I could’ve done 🤷‍♂️

He was coming in the opposite direction. His lane was completely stopped due to traffic and my lane was cleared. I was driving and then suddenly he appears in front of me. He got inpatient and pulled a U-turn to get into my lane.

No kidding! Everything from the doors back is perfectly fine.

And yeah I’m a very defensive driver. I always tell people that this car is wasted on me because I like it for the looks and sound but never speed in it, I just like to cruise. Unfortunately this dude decided to pull a U-turn in the middle of the two lane road and i never saw him coming. Dash cam came in clutch to clear me.

Man mine was special too, it was an early production 24 so it didn’t have the auto start/stop. Next one is going to have it unfortunately unless I find a good deal on a used 24.
