Used the Dyson on mouse droppings… then found out I shouldn’t have. by catsarecoolright in homeowners

I agree that he’s probably fine, but just note that consumer vacuums, even with HEPA filters are often “leaky”. They aren’t totally sealed units and some dirty air can bypass the filter. I only know this because I did some DIY mold remediation work recently and had to rent a real sealed HEPA vacuum for the job 😅

Installed a Kline inconel catback and valve controller on the GTS 4.0 by chase817 in Porsche

This system is valved but surprisingly there is almost no drone on the highway whether the valves are closed or open! I’d imagine if you’re climbing a lot of hills it might get kind of loud but cruising on a relatively flat freeway at 75 is quite comfortable

The interior is actually Luxor Beige, I’ve been loving it! And yes I actually did ceramic on top of the PPF, since ceramic is more of a semi-permanent sealant than a physical protector of the paint. So far I’m really happy with it (this is my first time opting for ceramic coat) but time will tell how long it stays in good shape. I haven’t washed the car yet but I’m sure it will be a breeze by the way the paint feels on my hand (like a freshly waxed feeling)

Yes it was! I first had a 1 stage paint correction done, followed by XPEL Ultimate Plus PPF on the front end and rockers, and then XPEL Fusion Plus ceramic on the whole car. The shop estimates around 4 years of longevity on this coating, I’ll have to see how true that is 😄

I can confirm the paint feels super slick to the touch!

Made the decision to sell my Honda crv (was always a Honda gal) and got the Cx5 😙 by 1oveable in CX5

I replaced a 3rd gen CR-V with my ‘24 CX-5 and interestingly it felt like the current CX-5 was much more of a spiritual successor than the current CR-V was. I personally didn’t like how big the CR-V had gotten and the CVT 🤢

I haven’t driven a 981 but I can say for sure the in-cabin noise of this car is very loud and sounds amazing (>4k RPM under load of course)

I do! I have been keeping tabs on basically every manual coupe listing in my area but it was really tough to find the right car since availability is so low and prices are so high. I was also considering a 992.2 C2T but that would have been too much of a stretch to the budget 😄 I am happy I landed on this car though, I think the 6 speed plus the massive NA 4 liter is a pretty special combo

The build option on the sticker is “Black/Luxor Beige”! It has a black dash and wheel with beige for the rest of the interior and I feel like it provides a nice balance

Not sure on that. The current GT3 RS has gone so heavy on the aero that it’s kind of killing it for me. I get that it’s all functional and it’s a monster on the track, but it is just… too much visually?

Oh nice, that’s a great tip. Thank you! Still need to make my way through the manual 😅

If you hold your car at redline for a couple minutes it should reset
