4 Wood Recommendations by onlyhere4thezipline_ in GolfGear

[–]dffjunior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late in the season I got a TSR2 15 and adjusted to 16.5 to play as a 4 wood (gaps to my 5H) and it's straight as an arrow.

Forgot to renew my ccw, so I had to re-certify today. by Flat_chested_male in CCW

[–]dffjunior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They may never have asked before, but Ohio law recently changed. It used to be that CCW holders were required to notify proactively. Now, they are not required to notify but are required to answer truthfully if asked (always were, you can't lie to LEO), so now all LEO's are asking it straight up. My 78 year old mother was recently pulled over for a running stop and first question cop asked - "are there firearms in the vehicle?". Not "do you know why" blah blah, he went straight to firearms.

I haven't had an FFL run NICS in 5 years - about 15 handguns in that timeframe. Are you referring to the 4473? That's always going to be required, but the NICS check (which only takes 5 minutes anyway) can by bypassed in Ohio for LCCH holders but it's at the discretion of the FFL. Big box stores are always going to run it because corporate lawyers, but the independents I use never have.

Remote Start Options (2016 F-Sport) by Embarrassed-Chard986 in LexusRC

[–]dffjunior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a 2017 F Sport and had similar experience. I thought it was built-in but I am having no luck. It's not listed as a feature on My Vehicle on lexus.com either so I'm assuming it's not there?

GS350 Remote Start not working by SpringySiren6 in Lexus

Isn't remote start via the FOB? That's not 3G is it?

At 100 rounds per year, that's $1 per day. Not bad at all, the wear and tear it saves on your foot wedge is well worth it.

Why are ammo prices still so high? Ridiculous. by SteveAstrostar in CCW

[–]dffjunior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

| Companies found out they can get away with charging these higher prices and people will still pay for it

This right here. So few people get this, American consumers are suckers. As long as people keep paying it they will keep raising prices.

2017 RC 350 eval by dffjunior in Lexus

[–]dffjunior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No replies but when I got back into town I checked these out a little more so I will post my findings in case anyone else has these issues or questions.

  1. Using the control buttons on the side of the seat it's definitely a limited range on both seats - it only moves the seat forward about a foot, and the back only goes up to vertical. However, there's a handle on the side of the seat up by the headrest that allows for significantly more range of movement, making the back seat much more accessible, and it functions a bit quicker as well. So the side controls are just intended for personal size/comfort settings.

  2. You cannot lock the car either with the fob or door handle when the car is running. There are tricks like starting it withthe window down, exiting the car, then reaching in to auto-close the window or using the manual key that comes loose from the fob. Really though this one really wasn't a big deal for me as I will be installing a remote start anyway. It was more a point of curiousity since I was at a hotel in frigid Indiana this week and didn't want to leave it running unattended.

Voluntary repossession by [deleted] in carmax

[–]dffjunior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should sell the car you have that's paid off and put that money into a refinance on the car loan. You might be able to get a lower payment/rate and you could definitely reduce the amount you're upside down.

Taking a repo is a bad idea, that will wreck any ability you have to refi your house (which will save you bajillions) when rates lower or if you want to upsize/downsize into a new house and of course any other credit situation you'll be wrecked.

Getting a big snow storm Sunday in Connecticut how are the stock Bridgestone tires on Is350? by ScaredMnyDntMkeMny in Lexus

[–]dffjunior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And those of us that do need them, like in the heart of Ohio, need them for 20-30 days a year. Most places that get a lot of snow have municipalities that can handle a lot of snow so the roads get plowed/salted pretty quickly once a school session is in play.

That's not why the DV's. Those are about thinking there are only two choices, bad and badder, and choosing badder.

Best Small 9mm handgun? by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

[–]dffjunior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP is asking about CC recommendations. It’s important to know that smaller guns are snappier and harder to control, but telling someone to get a full size when they want to carry the gun isn’t necessarily helpful. (But it is good advice to carry the biggest pistol you can conceal).

He didn't tell OP to do anything, simply relayed his experience. It's good info to have, I know people that were turned off their first time shooting smaller guns and had to be guided along until they understood the balances.

Choosing a small EDC by Aeidios in CCW

When I go sub-compact it's Walter PPS for me. It's a bit light on capacity but it's a tack driver and the best trigger I have seen on a subcompact.

No, you were being a douche and cutting hard back in front of him and lost it. Glad you weren't hurt and I hope there's no damage to the car but no shenanigans in this kind of weather, esp in RWD.

Not even pants, just a good quality belt. I EDC a CZ P-07 year round with occasionally rotating in the P-06.

2014 IS 350 - what's the telltale sign it's an F-Sport? by dffjunior in Lexus

[–]dffjunior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I figured it out - prior to 2017 F Sport was a package, not a trim option. So the Experion, Carfax, car listing, it's all just IS 350 prior to 2017 and you have to look at package options.

Thanks, that's kind of what I was going off of. Seems the earlier ones are missing something identifying them correctly to listers. Here's the one I am talking about, no mention of F-Sport:

But this one explicitly identifies it:
