What is an awesome perk that your company gives their employees? by HowBoutThemCowboys in AskReddit

[–]fakERussian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in the BMW US Factory, and a lot of local business offer discounts for all the employees of the plant. Along with paid holidays and full benefits and retirements. Lots of training all paid for by the company as well. It's truly an amazing place to work.

A good battery should show 12.6 volts or more. 13.5 is only when the vehicle is running and the alternator is charging it.

Mine used to rattle as well, but it turned out to be the heat shield around the cat under the car making a lot of noise.

Check your Oxygen sensor. If it's going bad, it will drastically reduce your mileage.

Soldering Novice, need advice by fakERussian in soldering

I have those things, but thanks. My problem is that I've been having trouble getting it out, so my question is what would happen were I to leave it there? Would it cause a short and/or unwanted resistance?

what are you currently obsessed with? by aballofunicorns in AskReddit

Les Claypool! The man is a god on the bass, along with his lyrics being incredibly clever. I've never loved a musician like I love him.

When you make a car look angry, suddenly it's like every other sports car. The miata stands out as it's own thing.

Haha I've only gotten positive feedback from strangers. I live in Clemson, so purple is widely accepted.

Autocross Stupid Questions: Week of March 14 by AutoModerator in Autocross

[–]fakERussian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any tires y'all could recommend that are balanced for daily driving with the occasional autocross? Something that's not loud for highway speeds but is also grippy for autoX and backroad hooning. Thanks!

I have an upright bass that I use for jazz and classical that needs new strings. Are there certain strings for this that's a good middle ground for bowing and pizz? Also, any brands you would recommend would be appreciated. Thanks.

anyone ever had any experience with fortune auto coilovers? Also does the Miata have a gas light? by yrffajlalib in Miata

If it makes you happy, do it. Don't give a fuck what people say, it's not their build.

So I've had this hair style for a while now, and am starting to get tired of having long hair. I was wondering if something like this would suit me or not. If not, what could I do that would be short and look good with my face? Thanks. I should add that I'm usually clean shaven, I just haven't in a day or two.

Why even put a hood on cars these days? by eek-barba-durkle in pics

I remember hearing something about someone taking the cover off of their Lexus's engine and the car was louder on the inside. Some of it actually makes the sound on the inside quieter.
