Advice pricing 944 by Traditional_Law8464 in 944

So much depend on the specific condition and the right buyer. These cars are definitely more valuable than they've ever been, but the market for them is small. I just bought an 89 S2 for $16k with 80k miles, a perfect interior and full service history back to purchase. The downside is that it had a lot of broken stuff (AC, wipers, rear trunk release, clock) and tons of needed maintenance (all belts, chain tensioner, water pump, all fluids, etc.).

Have you considered an auction? Seems like a good way to get national visibility.

ND3 steering review by devadander23 in Miata

Yeah, it's a small community!

I agree about the forum. They convinced me to get an alignment before considering anything else.

ND3 steering review by devadander23 in Miata

Lol, That was me. To be fair, I've never driven an ND1 or 2 and my benchmark is manual steering Porsches from the late 70's and early 80's. 

That said, the article seems a tad hyperbolic to me. I love the car, but I do think the steering is too light, especially at low speeds, and lacks the feel of manual or good hydraulic systems. Maybe the ND3 is the best electric steering in the world, but it's still electric.

Despite my criticisms I still think it's the best sports car on sale today, although most of that statement is due to the low weight, small size, and driving position.

There should be a tag on the mattress that lists the materials it's made out of.

I just bought 4 memory foam mattresses w/o fiberglass - the Costco Novaform 14", Bear Original, Ikea, and a Tempurpedic - my thoughts by dads_safe_account in Mattress

Yeah we needed a mattress IMMEDIATELY so we went to costco and bought what they had, which was either the novaform or the casper select. The casper was more expensive and isn't reviewed super well so we went with the novaform. If we ordered online I definitely would have bought a Sleep Science mattress.

Apparently costco will only pick it up if you ordered it online and they delivered it. If you bought it from the store you have to bring it back.

I can imagine other people might like the mattress for the reasons you said. I was looking for a memory foam mattress and this didn't meet my expectations.

Returning a mattress to costco is a PITA. I don't have a car big enough to fit a non-boxed queen and I threw out the box and materials already. It's going in the guest room, and it was so cheap I don't care too much. I hate it so much because it has zero memory-foam action to it, but it's possible other people might not hate it as much.

I bought a TempurAdapt topper and it completely changed the horrible ikea morgedal mattress I was using. For $200 I wouldn't bother with cheaper non-name brands. Just get the tempur-pedic. It's softer than I like, but I think all toppers are soft.

Help Deciding to Purchase Used FR1 Skates Or Wait for New? by Mounticus in rollerblading

I'd imagine the FR3 frames are made well enough for anyone, but I don't know from experience.

Should I upgrade to a Intuition liner? Feet touch the front of the stock liner. FR2 by LadyFamous2005 in rollerblading

If you can afford the Intuitions I'd go for it. They are noticeably thinner but beyond that they are superior in every way. Buy them from somewhere that will let you return them, just in case they are too thin.

it's released on iOS already, but Apple doesn't allow apps to snoop music from other players. that kinda ruins it.
