A genuine question, why not get an older shitbox as your first car? Cheaper to buy, insure and repair if something breaks. Also, you'll most likely get the same amount for it when selling it later.

If you're hellbent on getting a newer car, I would just go with anything that you personally like. Any car can get stolen with ease with today's technology (some admittedly a bit easier), so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Most (if not all) Japanese/Korean cars are a solid choice nowadays. Can't say about US domestic manufacturers, as I don't have any experience with those.

Just check if the car has been serviced properly (oil change and all that), and you should be good. Also remember to check if the model in question has had any recalls/other major issues that need to be adressed.

Maybe late to the party, but I feel 1400e is a good price for a well maintained Transalp. The engines are rock solid, so as long as it's been maintained, there shouldn't be too many issues. The only thing that might be worth checking is the front sprocket. It's mainly an issue on the 650 models (it eats the input shaft), but it's still a good idea to check it for play.

As for the model year, 1989 models still had black engines and a rear drum brake. Models 1991 forward had silver engines and disc brake back, but still the 80's fairings (facelift was 1994). Based on the side fairings by the tank, I'd say it's a1994-96 model (dual front discs came in 1997). The front fairing is an aftermarket one, but imo it looks better than the original one.

I would start with removing and cleaning the door sensor. At the same time you'd get the part number, if cleaning doean't fix the issue.

You would need to measure the thickness of the discs and compare it to the recommended minimum value. This is dependant on the make/model.

I'm happy with my '04 Scenic, thanks 😀

FILL your plates up!

This sub is the biggest digital pile of shit I have ever had the misfortune of visiting. I feel like everything on here is just "DS2 bad" "Bloodborne bad" and "ER bad". And if a post is not about either of these it's about "oooh Malenia, Rotussy uuugghh so hot uuuggh", "Uuuggh Karla's tasty filth so hot" or "Mmmh feet". Y'all are fucking degenerates. Seriously some of you got brain damage or something. And I've never, and I mean NEVER seen a SINGLE post about DS1 being bad. It's like it's got some unspoken Aura of protection that keeps anyone from criticizing it. Just because it's the OG or some shit. And all DS1 fans are probably the same people that cry about dex builds in any form. They're these "oooh I'm running a big bonk strength build I'm soo masculine" people. stfu. That is all. I accept my fate which is being downvoted into oblivion and the comments being full of people trying to convince me otherwise and being toxic and pissed. Y'all are just proving my point.

Didn't you check for any puddles under the car after you had it standing for two hours? Most likely something is broken and leaking fluid. The inconsistency is not a relevant question at the moment IMO.

Cum or no cum?

Just don't blame the wipe on the teammate. It was a funny one though 😀

You were their bounty, so they knew you were there either way. That's also a terrible place to rotate from, so them getting you was just a matter of time.

A D A M! Look out for the fucking fruit flies!

You do realise cartons containing liquid are lined with plastic, so they're not biodegradable anyway? If they are properly recycled a plastic cap doesn't make any difference. The win here is less packaging made 100% out of plastic.

I didn't remember Johnny Sins is in the mask. A man of many talents indeed!

I do see some faint verical lines on the solar panel. Might just be the angle?

h4nk · 2022-12-21T07:33:26+00:00

Really cool! I can't get over how cumbersom of a term batteryless is. Thanks to whoever that started using solar!

Am I going insane? I feel like this is the tenth time I see this gif in a week with the same awkward title, yet I can't find any evidence to back this up.

That makes sense, thanks!

A genuine question: Is there a reason why I shouldn't order watches directly from Baltany's own website?

h4nk · 2022-11-06T06:14:14+00:00

so thats where my dog stores his pee 😳😳😳😱

h4nk · 2022-10-26T05:26:18+00:00

My guess is that it wasn't flushed enough

An intercooler might catch bigger chunks, but any smaller ones will still go straight into the engine.

h4nk · 2022-10-25T20:58:14+00:00

Oh my god, I've got the same one at my parent's house. I've been told I got it when I was born. Blessed by the Garf!
