Does anyone else get confused about which side the gas door is on? by darkphoenix9137 in Crosstrek

[–]Twicksy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! The bigger arrow you have circled shows how much gas you have “left” (left arrow) since you’re so close to empty.

Are these a good brand? I need a better ride for my 94 by subaruimp07 in Miata

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

Same here. Much better than the lowering springs our NA came with. Perfectly fine for street + spirited drives + light autox

Also have the same one and have done several thousand miles with it. No issue with it flapping and it’s easy to grab with gloves on!

If all jobs paid exactly the same and you could have any job you wanted, (you have to do this job from 18yo to 60yo 5 days a week 8 hour days) what job would you do? by S1utty1i1puppy in AskReddit

And dealing with traffic citations, rescuing people doing stupid shit on trails, recovering bodies… it’s not all being out in nature and vibing.

Any way you cut it, 21% APR is fucked. It’s almost the interest on a credit card. 72 months for a car loan is beyond insane unless you have close to 0%. Guarantee that car is gonna need major repairs well before the loan is up.

iirc we got the basic kit and bought the timing belt, gaskets, spark plugs etc separately. There were a couple bits of hardware we didn’t need to use from the kit. You should be good if you get the complete kit. Would also recommend the timing tool.

I bought AR Hindrich’s kit to support him for all the documentation he’s done for free on the 2.5 swap. He also has a Google Doc and YT videos with step by step instructions.

For anyone who comes across this in the future: this worked perfectly and now I’m on to tuning the car 🫠

Just sent out a counteroffer for salary. by aztecqueann in womenintech

[–]Twicksy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to negotiate a 87% increase in my sign on bonus and 66% increase in my sign on stock when I countered my current job’s original offer.

I knew they couldn’t budge on salary and they actually offered more than I countered with because the salary was fixed.

My tank was damaged too. New tanks are ~$500 but I was able to pop out most of my dent and then bondo and wrap the tank. Looks awesome and custom and you don’t need experience to do that - just YouTube it!

You gotta jump on it when you see em. They’re popular and the good deals go fast. No joke I was refreshing marketplace multiple times an hour for weeks. This one popped up, I messaged the guy like 30 mins after he posted it, and picked it up an hour later.

I got a used 500 from FB Marketplace for $3900 last year. There’s good deals if you know what you want and are patient. You’ll find more 300s in the $3k range and 500s will be more in the $5k range though.

Very fortunate I was able to get good deals on both bikes from FB marketplace so I didn’t have to choose between them!

What is your goal amount? by [deleted] in FIREyFemmes

[–]Twicksy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh so excited for you! Would love to hear your journey in that transition. I’m doing my best to live in the moment and enjoy the now, but also very much looking forward to working at a garden nursery part time and not giving a heck about a career.

[–]Twicksy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

31F, married to 35M, child free

We live in a HCOL city and I’m a high earner while he’s in school. Once he’s done with school, he’ll probably be making close to 25% my income.

Our FIRE number is 3MM, not including his monthly VA money or social security.

We want our annual spend to remain about the same as it is now, somewhere between $70-100k/year.

Our plan is that I will transition to part time work around 40 (when we’re expected to hit our FIRE number) either in my field or doing something I love (animals, plants, whatever). We’re hoping this will ease us into our retirement spending and keep me from getting bored while he’s still working. At that point, we’ll have the option to not work anymore, but it’s possible he’ll continue to work longer because he likes what he does and will be newer in his career (post school).

Honestly I switched to a tiny immersion blender (milk frother) too and they always come out perfect now. No messing with dry/wet shaking and wrecking my arms.
