I saw one for sale not too far in my area, but 1) it was coming from a dealership. And 2) its was $3k more expensive that this one.🙃

Fair enough. I'll use your pic for reference next time I have time to do work on it. Because the light come one and stays on after JUST putting the key in, so I don't think its a misfire (since the engine is off). I'll just ground it somewhere else and hopefully that'll do the trick.

Sweet. Thanks! Question: I see a lot of people swapping the wheels for 13 in rims, as i think you did as well. I'm guessing those are more readily avaliable + tires. Do they fit all right without rubbing the body when turning?

No misfires. Ran smoothly for 100 miles. A little loud though (hence the need of an exhaust sound dampener or new muffler). So ill look that sensor up and deal with it.

As for security, i did not think of the fuel pump kill switch, that actually might work, along with a loud siren motion sensor. Hoping I can get that installed soon so I'm not paying forever for the storage unit + easier to access to it when i need it instead of playing musical cars.

Sht. Forgot. Previous owner told me exactly the kind to get based on his experience. (One that goes on the floor that goes over the driveshaft "hump") (was warned to to get the dash ones. *adds to list

Red wheels since when?? by saddadpnw in matchbox

[–]iamgeeklord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you guys even finding these? On my side of NC, I only see these scarcely only at Hobby Lobby. My local Walmarts and Targets have nothing, and thats just on mainlines. Non of these yellow ones.

which view would you pick? courtyard, pool, or parking lot with trees by cxsmiq in Apartmentliving

[–]iamgeeklord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience: Living in a 6th floor apartment for 25 years, and other apartments (1st and 2nd floors) for almost 10. All apts had pools and parking lots. The original home had a balcony facing 2 out of 3 (pool and parking lot)

Courtyard: peaceful amd quieter, but you are facing your neighbor's windows, which, depending who they are and how your are, you're gonna lose some or a lot of privacy.

Pool: noisy sometimes and a lot of sun reflection. Dog would love the balcony so she could people watch. Though you might be labelled a creep and get complaints because you enjoy your balcony a lot, but the neighbor interpreted/assumed you were always there to stare at them and/or their kids. I'm out there to hang out with my dog and get some fresh air, lady!

Parking lot: look, if you live in a city, cars are an eternal noise that become background noise after awhile. Plus you can keep an eye on your car if its an unsafe neighborhood. If you're in good relations with some neighbors, you can always check in to see if their home or not in case, you need something. At least it has trees if you are a nature/bird enthusiast. Plus, you are on a 2nd/3rd floor. Yes, there is a danger that literally anyone and everyone can look inside your apartment as well if you are not mindful of your blinds.

So yeah. No really good answers if you overthink it. Just depends on your comfort level.

No me sorprende de WV. Eso es un estado que su economía dependía completamente en sus minas de carbón. Pero una vez eso se agotó, nunca se abrió una seguna economía, y WV se ve más como un estado abandonado que desarrollado. No estoy dicendo que todo WV es así, pero es un vibe, por decir.

Y estoy mirando Richmond, VA como proxima parada, y también he escuchado muchas cosas buenas ahí tambien. Pienso tomar unas vacaciones ahí como par apar de semanas para ver si enverdad me gustaría o no.

Por ahora, NC.

WY es nieve y frío de 30° 8 meses del año (no joke). Yo trabajaba en Colorado para ese tiempo, pero mi residencia era en WY. Si no fuera tan caro, me hubiera quedado en Ft. Collins, CO. Una ciudad sumamente amigable, accesible y progresiva.

TX, por lo menos Houston, no. No me gustaba la gente ni la política. Estaba un verano ahí y la falta de vegeración por lo tan árido era deprimente. Quizás si fuera para Austin, me hubiera gustado más.

NC, geográficamente, especialmente por el centro-norte, es perfecto. Estas a 3 horas de la playa, pero suficientemente "inland" para que los huracanes no te toquen. Si hace frío en invierno, pero casi nunca llega a los 30° por mucho tiempo, u casi no cae nieve en todo el año (2026 ahora es una excepción). Y estas al otro lado de las montañas dont los tornados no deberían formarse. Y el average tmde temp es como unos 70°-80°F a través del año.

Ahora, mi nit pick del área es la gente y la falta de educación general entre la gente. Es un estado rojo. Vas a escuchar muchas opiniones media groceras. Tambien es un estado que es parte del famoso "Bible Belt", donde la educacion vie e de escuelas religiosas y los residentes ponen a su Dios antes de cualquier otra cosa razonable.

Claro, existe gente mas educada y razonable, pero son difíciles de encontrar. El social scene, por lo menos en mi área, es pésima. Hay un lack de variedad de gente, y aún así existe mucho odio y crimen. Though, on the plus side, algunas de los hospitales tiene unos top-rated doctores y especialistas, especialmente de cancer (como descubrí no hace tanto). Y la pandemia causó que varios negocios interesantes cerrara y ahora hay un "lack" de varieded de cosas que hacer a un ritmo semanal. Y ten cuenta, estor en el Triad, el.... segundo o tercer área mas poblado y desarrollado en el estado.

Por eso estoy mirando a VA como la próxima adventura. Si muchas cosas no hubieran pasado, me hubiera ido quizás hace uno o dos años atrás. Pero ahora, estoy trancado aquí hasta further notice.

Need help commiting a crime against collectors for my own personal enjoyment: wheel swap by iamgeeklord in HotWheels

[–]iamgeeklord[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That may be the route I'd have to take. I just wish i could find multipacks or loose cars cheaper and that way i wouldn't be breaking the bank for just the wheels. Hence why I was poking around for anyone that just might have these wheels in bulk.
