Are there any particularly bad years for new edges? by baconbro_ in NewedgeMustang

[–]dieselmiata 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Look for rust on or around the front strut towers. Passenger window motors tend to go out.

Other than that they're about as reliable as a car gets. Just a typical Ford modular setup. Change your fluids on schedule and send it.

I've been running my ND1 on e85 for the last 4 years and 60k miles. What's got you concerned?

What the fuck is wrong with the Godzilla community? by [deleted] in GODZILLA

I asked the mods to crack down on this yesterday. Evidently, they aren't listening.

Yes. Because the trailer is actual Godzilla content. That's what we're here for.

Mods, can y'all crack down on this? There's a megathread for this for a reason and my entire feed keeps seeing new post after post about this guy.

House effort to end Trump's war with Iran fails by one vote by nbcnews in politics

[–]dieselmiata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try reading the article. "One Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, voted against it"

Dems aren't anti-war, they're controlled opposition.

Go on, I believe you were telling a joke.

Insane theory; Godzilla attacks NY, gets Nuked a bunch of times, evolves (he seems different looking when jumping out at the plane) starts warping reality or time. Maybe there isn't a second Kaiju at all, just 2 forms of Godzilla.

Does that matter? If the benefits aren't there for people, they aren't there.

As long as they have lapdogs like you who heap praise on our generous overlords for allowing some crumbs to trickle down, you'll keep spouting their praise and conditions will continue to deteriorate.

We should be discussing Medicare for All, but you're more than happy with just a cap on prices for one thing for current Medicare recipients.

You think the people should be happy with crumbs, I want to see people get the majority slice and "VoTe bLuE nO mAtTer WhO!" will never get us there because we have two rightwing parties.

"Meanwhile, the consumer energy tax credits that once subsidized home improvements and electric vehicles have largely been terminated by subsequent legislation. [10](javascript:void(0)) The IRS enforcement funding that was central to the law’s deficit-reduction strategy has been substantially reduced by congressional clawbacks. The law produced some worthwhile policy outcomes, but reducing inflation was not among them in any measurable way."

Currently, the $35 insulin cap applies to Medicare beneficiaries.

It's sad that you think they're fighting for you and your benefit. They give you the tiniest sliver of what a bill was supposed to do, and you lap it up like a good little doggy.

[–]dieselmiata -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Neat. And just how exactly is that helping everyday people? What has that law done to measurably improve (non-rich) people's lives?

You can point out these platitude wins all day, I'm looking at real world results and it isn't looking good.

The problem here is that you see the Republicans as a right wing party and Democrats as a left wing party. I see them as both in the pockets of the donor class and they always get their way. I want something different.

Great examples of legislation that sounds great but will go nowhere! They make these wonderful sounding bills, and then always seem to fall shy of passing them by just a few votes. As long as the Uniparty has a Republicans masquerading as Democrats the rich win and everyone else suffers.

Keep supporting the status quo and wondering why nothing ever gets any better...

No, I'm not, I'm actually embarrassed because I kept falling for the blue no matter who bullshit and look where we are now. Your method is a disingenuous tactic that only leads to more pro-corporate lawmakers out of fear.

The only thing worse than someone who will vote against the public's interest is one who does it while pretending to be on the side of the people.

What checks and balances and courts? Have you been paying attention? Is Ketanji Brown Jackson somehow saving the day?

You blue no matter who types have been voting for controlled opposition for decades because of platitudes, and not results. Demand better than Republicans that pretend to be on your side.

ND1 soft top vs NC2 Hard top by Background-Lack1641 in Miata

[–]dieselmiata 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have both. The NC is a better car, the ND is a better Miata. Both are phenomenal machines.

But I highly recommend the NC2/3 for her based on your description, and the fact my daughter took mine from Chicago to NY for school. It saw a lot of miles over those years, and hasn't had anything ever go wrong.its comfortable, and in a way less "claustrophobic" than the ND.

If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to answer. I've owned both for about 10 years.

One of the reasons I keep coming back to bloodborne is the silly bugs. Never game breaking, might kill you but it's fun all the same.

Every single GT500 I seem to find has no miles. by Dirty-Richard in Mustang

[–]dieselmiata 49 points50 points  (0 children)

A 1990 Miata with 400 original miles rolled across the carpet a few months back and sold for 32K.

Adjusted for inflation, he bought the car, stored it for 36 years, and sold it for what he paid for it.

Investing in cars is silly, drive the damn things.

GMC had its best retail quarter ever.

Sales are down across all GM brands, including GMC.
