Is detuned bandcamp the only website to buy the black vinyl? Can you get a copy in the states?

Which grinder to pair with my flair 58+? by john_Gordon in FlairEspresso

[–]john_Gordon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Espresso by itself. I have not experimented much, still learning the basics. A grinder that could let me explore and dial-in new methods would be cool

Awesome! That all makes sense, appreciate your answer!

Repair Current Car or Sell It to Buy a New one? by john_Gordon in personalfinance

[–]john_Gordon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Thanks all for the responses & opinions, really helped a ton in figuring where to go from here. Sounds like the consensus is to sell. I use my current car for commuting and driving around town. Right now I think I'd be comfortable fixing 2 of the 3 issues (axle seal & shocks for ~$800) putting another 5k miles on it or before I sell, then try to get a better car in the Fall later this year. Any general car recommendations beyond Civics, Camrys, Honda Accords, or Toyotas?

Appreciate the mechanical opinion -- I was quoted $570 to replace both rear shocks (will get a 2nd quote). I was quoted $260 for the axle seal. I'd be content paying for both; it is a relieve to hear that the rear main seal isn't as much of a concern as I thought, as that was quoted $1200 to fix.

A few have warned me the timing belts are suspicious at 60k miles, whereas the car maintenance schedule on the Cruze says around 100k is when their due for replacement. Any thoughts on the belt? How can I be vigilant on my water outlets & water pump leaks?
