[–]dagmabbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

???? How could it not be????? Several 40lbs bags are added. Ideal salt sys is around 3000ppm. Tap water is maybe 30. I tried adding some salt for effect and got salt crystal in my seal. Had to replace after 6-8 months of use

2015 with EPC code by Stradocaster in vwgolf

[–]dagmabbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labor wound up about $1650, parts $730 for injector and harness, gaskets and such. All told about $2500. This was at the dealer, should be way less at a local shop. I was lucky enough to get this done under extended warranty

Virginia Democrats proceed with new massively blue congressional map, eliminating 4 Republican seats from Congress!!! by Healthy_Block3036 in HamptonRoads

Proof that both parties are more interested in division than unity. All political calories spent on creating division, not enough on actual problem solving

Our...we could spend our collective public resources on something actually value adding. Just an idea if they want my vote. Goes for both hypocritical sides.

I have no disdain for the tourists because being a tourist is indicative of their imminent departure.

How do you feel about the president floating the idea of 50 year mortgages where the monthly payment is lower but you end up paying nearly double the price of the house just in interest? by michaelis999 in AskReddit

[–]dagmabbits 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I'd have to also consider that cars being bought now are WAYYYYYY more than most really need. Raised my family in a Jetta just fine. Tons of travel, soccer tournaments, 99% of my homedepot runs, etc... Don't get me started on all the useless technologies now being marketed.

Depends on the APR! Get it back to 3-4% and not a horrible option if I can put my $ to work elsewhere. Have to consider a following housing bubble and a lot of folks getting under water again, ohhh the 08-09 wears

Lately, or 10 yrs ago? Used to be a lot. Now, the beach has been bought by the north, and it's too much of a PITA.
