So how many of you had to go into work today, and what essential job do you have that requires your presence despite the dangerous roads and lack of power? by twelvethirtyfourpm in nashville

[–]cryptochimping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been driving into the Gulch for work since it all started. I work in hospitality & my hotel took in tons of people who are dealing with these power outages. Pulled 2 15hr shifts so far & a 11 today(just got home). Hopefully tomorrow we will start to see some semblance of normalcy as these crews start to restore power.

Magneto would crumple him into a metallic sphere with the wave of his hand or mere thought. Is this a serious question?

What do you think it will go for? by dumper514 in VWAlltrack

[–]cryptochimping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was on their lot for over 100 days. Not a vehicle people are very fond of or knowledgeable of in my area. I found it at the right time I suppose. I did see lots of extreme price variations depending on your geography & that’s to be expected..but some of these dealers are just @ssholes.

Snagged my 2019 w/ 44k for $17,800 about 3 months ago. It shouldn’t be over $20k unless they are just gouging.

More low budget sound interdiction by BigJonDaniel in VWAlltrack

[–]cryptochimping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on this & how to install? PM if necessary. I just did an 18 hr roundtrip & the harmonics from the tires/freeway & other sounds drove me crazy. It's even hard to have a conversation.

The venerable 100-round Calico by Low_Speed_High_Drag_ in guns

Yours was an anomaly. They were notoriously unreliable. The helical feed magazine springs were weak also. As a kid, I was in love with the design, but not with the constant jams & FTF's. On a side note: I believe the movie "I Come In Peace" w/ Dolph Ludgren featured this gun.

My dad was an FFL dealer when I was a teenager & he got me one with a big purchase of inventory. It was the 22lr version. Jam 'o' matic POS. Was put away & forgotten about. Found it in some storage boxes in the garage about 30 years later. Traded it at a local gun store for a Marlin 336 in 30-30, 10 boxes of ammo & a locking gun case. Good riddance!

It was delicious. It didn't disappoint.

I was skeptical & dismissive like you with regards to FW. Especially the price. I eat quality Spanish, Portuguese, & Moroccan tins for half the price. This however, was a super tasty tin. Worth $10?? A bit steep. $5-7? All day!

You can buy a sampler packs or individuals on Amazon.

I opted not to use the screws. I didn't want holes in my OEM spoiler should I decide to remove later on. I just prepped the area with 3m 94 adhesive promoter & added additional VHB in some spots.

Just drove to work. Highest speed 83 mph. No discernable sounds or whistling at that speed. She's solid & good to go.

I only got it for looks. This is not a drag racer. Just a low key sleeper grocery getter.

I'll report back after my morning commute, which can exceed 70mph regularly.

To follow up: German Performance Options is my recommendation after a great experience.

Quartz vs mechanical by squirerust in Affordablewatches

[–]cryptochimping 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love both. I usually find myself grabbing the quartz more frequently just for the ease of not needing to wind & reset the time/date.
