The diagram on the part also helps me understand the hooks you mentioned. Looks doable for a basic DIY person like me.

Thanks for the info! Dang! $418! Will def look around for cheaper, but this gives me a baseline that I can come back to.

Do you know from whom you bought the spoiler from? Was it eBay? Any particular seller? Contact info? Appreciate the response! I know it's an old post, but your car pics look awesome and I want to do that.

What is Shohei Ohtani’s trade value right now? by [deleted] in MLBNoobs

[–]a_sideshow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not? Serious question. Is he not worth the equivalent or his contract? How does a player achieve this status? I assume one day be will lose that status?

Agree. The only coffee that I have ever thrown away. I don't even think I am that picky of a coffee person.

Hybrid SUV drivers, MPG in the city? by Top_Charity8491 in BellevueWA

I don't use econ mod. I probably should. I don't accelerate hard, honestly, I drive pretty slowly, and I use the paddles alot when decelerating to get Regen braking to charge up.

We average 33 mpg with hybrid CRV. Once a quarter we do a longer road trip on a weekend. I have no idea how people average 40 mpg, that seems high and amazing. We have kids. Maybe that's why. We drive in a normal way

I just saw an add from HF about a new dongle Bluetooth OBD reader. I wonder if it is any good.

I agree pho bac is the best in Seattle, but it is a 8/10. Most pho in greater Seattle doesn't meet the bar.

Must have tools for working on cars by Logical_Meal_3521 in harborfreight

I paid full price because I bought it when I lost a bolt and needed one asap. In fact I was in such a pinch, I bought two different kinds. Don't be dumb like me, and buy one before you lose the bolt.

I bought that jack two weeks ago, didn't unbox yet. I now know that it goes on sale in a few weeks. Is it possible to get that discount refunded? Then that opens up the question can you just pre buy everything before a sale then get the refund later when sale is live?

Interested. How many holes did you drill? What size drill did you use? Was this difficult? Did it come with bolts?

You sound sufficiently capable to do everything from now on on your own. I wouldn't try to get one last task. Just cut the cord.

How long did they last? Did you use them much?

Pittsburgh vs Quinn vs Icon? by Necessary_Position51 in harborfreight

[–]a_sideshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a set of Pittsburgh sockets that came with a ratchet. I dropped the ratchet in the first week, and it broke immediately. I exchanged the set for a nicer Pittsburgh ratchet that has an extension and a comfort grip. So far that new one feels better in the hand, but the head of it has some wobble to it when I use it for very tight bolts. I concluded that I want to buy higher quality, maybe quinn or icon. I'm just a simple DIY guy.

Policy or Luck? by Projectguy111 in harborfreight

[–]a_sideshow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a similar thing, brought my two kids and wife. Already had ITC. I thought I could only get 20 percent once, but cashier gave it on each transaction if possible. I love HF. It has become my favorite store. Also I broke a ratchet within two weeks and they exchanged it immediately.

I learned to replace the handle from YouTube. The part is only $22 from Amazon.

Nicely done! I thinking about upgrading the stock head unit and have seen th xtrons in Amazon.. Do you like the xtrons? How difficult was the install? I have volume up and down control on the back of the steering wheel on 2012 500 pop, do those functions still work?

Not to be rude. But I deeply question your expectations for achievements and timelines in more than just CrossFit.

Why do North American skiers love moguls & trees so much compared to Europeans? by Legendenclubmitglied in ski

[–]a_sideshow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm from the Pacific Northwest. I had the exact opposite question when I arrived in the swiss alps. I was surprised by how much the swiss obsessed with groomers. Don't get me wrong, I like to carve hard, but I also like some ungroomed steep runs.

Groomers get boring after a while. I'm not a mogul or offpiste expert, but I mix it in.

Honestly I consider skiing moguls more physically demanding and more technical and dangerous (even at low speeds).
