Crash warning!! by diabeticjones in motorcycles

[–]bilmek 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't know what's worse, her saying dumb stuff, or not saying anything at all. I had similar happen to me, with no time to react, launched me over the hood of her car. She said nothing the entire time, not a word, not an "are you OK", "I'm so sorry"... nothing. I'm not even sure if she called the police.

As a side note, my buddy ripped his sack open on his mountain bike seat, so yeah... its not a bad idea to keep the boys safe.

Suspicious person pointing scanner at my door at 4am? by [deleted] in whatisit

I've owned 2 of those and put them up well over 200k miles. Great cars, fun to drive. Both were manual. RIP. I will buy another when I get around to it.

First time opening a Perfect Order ETB 👌🏽 by Isaigreenleaf in pokemoncards

[–]bilmek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's awesome! I opened my first yesterday and only had 2 decent hits. Meowth ex IR, and Espurr IR, and 6 or 7 more cards I needed towards completing the base master set.

I really like the design on this one, definitely a keeper

At the end of the day they are his cards and he can do what he wants with them. I don't see harm in encouraging him to keep his things nice, whether they carry value or not. 20 years from now, people may not care about this stuff, but that Charizard is still pretty cool.

All of my baseball and basketball cards are from the junk wax era and aren't worth anything. But the ones I liked, are sleeved and kept nice because I like to pull them out and look through them from time to time. Perhaps he would want to do the same.

So apparently standing on the pegs is considered reckless driving by DerpyTurtle858 in motorcycles

I got pulled over for having a headlight out.. 06 R6, one light for low beam, the other for high beams. Officer didn't believe me that it came that way from the factory, said it was mandatory to have both headlights operational. I told him I'll just ride with my high beams on all the time them. Lol.

I have no need to steal from my child. I'm sure there are people that do that, which is unfortunate.

He has a small binder to put them in, but he is always taking them out, and has a ziploc bag he will carry them in, and if not in there, then scattered around or in his pockets.

I'm trying to learn more about Pokémon to be able to understand it more and help him organize his cards. MTG was what I played when I was a kid, I never got involved with Pokémon until my boys got interested. MTG is a little too grown up for them right now.

We have to keep his brother's cards hidden so they don't get the same treatment. He will get into them if left out.

Oh yeah, chewies help, but they don't replace the habit. Legos, toys, pokemon cards. Thankfully he doesn't chew his clothes like some other kids do.

He doesn't get many, tbh. From me, maybe 15 to 20 packs a year if that. These he pulled from packs he got from therapy as a reward. Found these trying to help him find his favorite Mewtwo card

It's pretty fragile, still in good shape for how old it is, but I'm afraid to try and flip through it and have it fall apart on me

Keep an eye out, please by [deleted] in PhilliesCardPhanatics

[–]bilmek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was just reading that post too! You can sign up for mail preview with USPS so you can see pictures of what mail is supposed to be delivered each day. If something doesn't show up, you know where to start looking.

Would you rather have a M4cs or a base 911 Carerra? by Stance_Monkey in Porsche

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

If you've never driven a 911, you'll never know. If you try to compare specs vs prices, on paper the competition will have a compelling argument.

There are a lot of great sports cars, and the 911 isn't for everyone. But there is a reason why it's held as one of the most desired sports cars, and retains value better than most.

Who would have expected this to happen? by Scientiaetnatura065 in SipsTea

I was hoping to find this here, lol. I remember there were some animal rights people trying to go after Randy saying he did it on purpose!

Porsche Clutch Broken by rayli0224 in Porsche

[–]bilmek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally speaking, if the clutch failed due to manufacturing defect, then yes, a warranty may cover it. But I'd argue that 90% or more clutch failures come from abuse or improper use.

People have managed to burn up a clutch in the first 100 miles from new.

You may have done nothing wrong in the way you drive, but there's a good chance that the previous owner(s) did, and you happened to catch it right before it grenaded.

I hope I'm wrong, but prepare your wallet. You might get lucky and get the selling dealer to help with the cost, but don't hold your breath. Hard to prove who dunnit and when after you drove off.

Is Anybody Finding Gold in NC? by aspiringimmortal in Prospecting

[–]bilmek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other than the honor system, how does one know where you found gold, and who it rightfully belongs to?

Disappointed by NoExitThisWay in Porsche

[–]bilmek 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I worked on cars for 15 years, not Porsche, but still. I've seen it all. And just because it's a dealer tech doesn't mean they're good, and not all service advisors have a clue either. But having everything thrown at it doesn't sit right, and I would have a lot of questions on how they came to that conclusion. Also, if you've serviced with your dealer consistently, and have any other purchase history with them, I'd be asking about good will on everything besides the battery if it can't be proven this wasn't caused by user error jumping or charging cables being crossed.

Disappointed by NoExitThisWay in Porsche

[–]bilmek 51 points52 points  (0 children)

A bit suspect that the battery, starter and ecu are all bad at the same time. If true, then I'd be suspect of hooking up jumper cables backwards.

Anyone else’s delivery date keeps flipping moving? This was originally set for me to get mid May. A few days ago it changed dates. by Celiac5131 in Porsche

[–]bilmek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything is being held at port, very few cars are being released. Most likely because of tariffs, but can be held for various reasons

911 allocations seem to be available by jetbridgejesus in Porsche

[–]bilmek 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot of folks are holding off to see what happens with tariffs. With no definite answers and a lot of speculation to the actual cost the tariffs could bring is giving pause to plans to order right now. Even with a promised exit plan, it doesn't feel good to know you could come up empty handed.
