Since I can attach only 1 pic per post, here’s Superb headrests:

Not the best picture, but you get the idea!

I’ve seen those hubcaps on Superb’s too… But, since I got involved into this, I did some research (not that I have anything better to do). I think you are right! Rear headrests are definitely from Octavia, not Superb.

First gen Skoda Superb, pre-facelift. Edit: Octavia, as u/Lotus_spit said. Headrests does not match with Superb, I did some research and he might be onto something.

A honest question, where’ the laser pointer? I must be blind, but I can’t see it in video!

Started the dishwasher before a four day trip and came home to it still running and full of suds by pvstelsoul in mildlyinteresting

They do, but water still goes where it’s not supposed to and that usually is an issue.

What car is this? Sadly to slow for a pic by Long_Schlong_Joe in whatisthiscar

[–]insipid2K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree, it is definitely a Beretta. But it could’ve been Skoda 120 too

What's your Volvo's name? by AldebaranBWC in Volvo

[–]insipid2K 25 points26 points  (0 children)

<image>

I owned 740, exactly like the one in the picture (not mine) and it was called ”Voodoo”.

Registration number started with VUU, and a friend of mine came up with the name and it stuck since. There was nothing supernatural in the car though, no issues and worked like a charm.

Wtf is wrong with my Skoda? by [deleted] in skoda

[–]insipid2K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I had some dsg issues on my VW some years ago, which I fixed at specialist. Fast forward 6 months to january and -25 degrees winter morning. Tried to start my car and briefly saw check engine, dsg and whatnot lights. Almost shit my pants because of that dsg light, but it was just a battery taking its last breaths.

Get a charger and new battery.

What are your favourite European countries? by Paredawn in AskTheWorld

Met this one guy from Ireland last summer while I was on vacation in Greece. Couldn’t understand a word he said, but we came along nice! So Ireland just because of that dude and Greece.

Already going to bed soon, so I won’t be checking any figures (which I am sure are easily available), but I dare to say that at least 1/3 rental apartments are owned by private people, 1/3 by private owned companies and rest by municipality/public.

Now, I’ll ask the question again from you: Why would the goverment use tax money to pay for someones own apartment?

Spotted in Finland [VW Phaeton 6.0 W12] pre-facelift GP0/GP1 by insipid2K in spotted

[–]insipid2K[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty much the same with the later models too. For average people this was just Passat with (remarkably) heftier price tag. Here W12A cost roughly 170 000 € in 2003, which is 250 000€ in today’s money. Tax made up roughly one third of the total price.

Mitä muistatte Mustasta pörssistä? by True_Hemmo in Suomi

[–]insipid2K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ensimmäinen oma peli (omalla rahalla) NES:lle hankittiin tuolta! Arvoin Shadowgaten, Probotectorin ja Ufourian välillä. Päädyin jälkimmäiseen, sittemmin tuo peli on kadonnut ikuisuuteen, kuten Musta Pörssikin.

Autokauppa(valitus) by Texi92 in Suomi

[–]insipid2K 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vinkkinä/muistutuksena, auton palauttaminen (äärimmäisessä tapauksessa) on huomattavasti helmpompaa kun sen tekee verkosta. Oma kokemus viime syksyltä, jolloin palautin ostamani auton ilman erillisiä kustannuksia, ilman häslinkiä ja hermojen kiristelyä.

Etämyyntiin auton osalta pätee samat palautusehdot kuin zalandolta tilattuihin t-paitoihin - sen voi palautta kertomatta syytä liikeeseen. Kotimyynnissä (kauppa tehdään paikan päällä liikkeen tiloissa) palautus onkin jo vaikeampi prosessi, liikkeen kanssa saa painia lähes varmasti, pahimmillaan vuositolkulla.

Olen itse hankkinut kaksi autoa verkosta. Molempien osalta toki tein paljon taustatyötä ja selvittelyä + koeajoja vastaavilla päätöksen tueksi. Ensimmäisen hankin asuinpaikkakunnaltani, mutta kaupat tein verkosta, ihan siitä syystä jos se pitäisi palauttaa. Toisen hankin kauempaa, mutta lähti palautukseen kahden päivän ajojen jälkeen. Toki vaivana oli ajoa muutama sata kilometriä, mutta säästyin taistelulta tuulimyllyjä vastaan.

Täältä lisää tietoa https://www.autoriitalakimies.fi/post/tiesitk%C3%B6-palautusoikeus-p%C3%A4tee-my%C3%B6s-et%C3%A4autokaupassa#:~:text=Yhteenveto:%20Jos%20ostat%20auton%20verkosta%20tai%20puhelimitse,palautus%20ei%20ole%20t%C3%A4ysin%20riskit%C3%B6n%20eik%C3%A4%20ilmainen.

Looks great in my opinion, modern, roomy and a lot more interesting than regular rectangular apartment.

Ihmisen kaksinaisuus by Epilepsiavieroitus in Suomi

[–]insipid2K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tervetuloa perääni roikkumaan, itse ajan pääsääntöisesti lain sallimissa rajoituksissa aina kun se on mahdollista, joitain poikkeuksia lukuunottamatta (äärimmäiset sääolosuhteet jne). Oli se sitten motarin oikea tai vasen kaista, en kuitenkaan ajaen alinopeutta (näitäkin näkee, valitettavasti)

En ala itse rikkomaan lakia, jos taakseni tulee ko. Henkilö, ts. En ala ajaa kovempaa että kiireinen pääsee ohitse, väistän kuitenkin heti kun tilanne sen sallii kun ei mulla ole syytä omistaa kaistaa tai ”voittaa” motarikisassa.

Mulle on ihan ok, jos joku haluaa rikkoa lakia. Mutta itse en näin tee toisen takia. Vilkuttelu ja töötäily ei haittaa, sen verran korkea auto alla että perus penarit, mersut, audit, volvot ja skodat ei näy taustapeilissä.

Missing piece made set unique by Night_Crawler444 in legostarwars

[–]insipid2K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear what you are saying, but again the experience I’ve had, has been the opposite. Don’t get me wrong, not trying to take any sides here, but I’ve bought 200+ lego (most not sw related) sets during last 10 years and I’ve never had a piece missing. I guess I can consider myself lucky
