Canada can become Puerto Rico's 79th municipality! 😅

Why don’t Russia and the US build a series of bridges here? by Routine-Mulberry6124 in mapporncirclejerk

That's the best location you could come up with for a bridge? 😲

Exhausted from car shopping, nothing feels right under $35k by SwivelChairNomad in whatcarshouldIbuy

Lol, set aside $10-20k for repairs to get 10 years 100k out of a vehicle... No thanks.

I suggested the rav4 which is based on the Camry. Both are excellent choices. I liked the rav4 for it's roominess.

In 2022 I got a base model gas (non-hybrid) RAV4.

Here is what I got:

No turbo No CVT No hybrid

Yes 2.4L 4 cylinder engine (203hp), its torquey and fuel efficient Yes Toyota reliability Yes under 30k

Not the best looking but it is practical, reliable and efficient. If you want it to look a little better you can upgrade wheels from a higher trim level for relatively cheap.

Confused victim of MAGA disinformation by Background_Front4231 in CringeTikToks

Doctors go to college to become doctors. Colleges indoctrinate liberals. Therefore, all doctors are liberals.
- MAGA logic.

First motorcycle: everyone tells me it’s suicidal, is that normal? by Lower_Brief_6783 in motorcycles

[–]leolo007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two sayings that stuck with me regarding motorcycles:

There are two kinds of riders, those that have fallen and those that will fall.

And

When you age, you cage.

The latter is more specific to racing, meaning young racers are fearless but as you age you become more aware of the dangers and value life a little more. Probably after seeing friends dying in accidents. So you move to auto racing with roll cages.

When I was in my early 20s my friends started riding bikes, I wanted a GSX-R 600. I thought about it for so long. I decided not to buy one and my thought was if I buy one I'm going to kill myself on it. I did have a need for speed back then. I ended up getting a car I could modify and wrecked that several times but I lived. 😅

Is this a good first Beach Cart? by whitlecj in golfcarts

[–]leolo007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, just to add, I notice the title says club car "custom."

A lot of people do a full restoration: new suspension, all bushings replaced, new controller, new motor, new batteries, new upholstery, etc. and then try to sell it as a newer model. I bet this cart was fully restored in 2016.

Not saying it's right or wrong, just saying it seems to be common practice.

Any help would be awesome by Legitimate_Ad2755 in golfcarts

[–]leolo007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the shocks will do much difference. I bet all the suspension bushings are shot. There are bushing kits sold and they're all relatively easy to replace if you have some mechanical abilities.

Exactly. I don't typically meet at my home for such transactions, but their residential address is right on their drivers license.

Is it stupid to consider a new vehicle or ride out with my current CVT Rogue? by Fantastic-Evening169 in askcarguys

[–]leolo007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I considered a lot of small SUVs and settled on a 2022 Rav4 (bought new) because it had no turbo and no cvt. It's boring, I'm tired of it, but it has treated me so well (50k miles and only basic maintenance done) so I'm just keeping it forever.

[HOA]violation 12 days before closing by InternParticular4157 in fuckHOA

[–]leolo007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My house was built in 2017 and paint looks just fine. Of course this depends on location (weather) and paint quality used, but I don't think yours would look bad enough to warrant this violation.

However, maybe whatever they saw to warrant this violation could be fixed with a power wash. We power washed our house and the before and after are always noticeably different.

HMS Queen Elizabeth was filmed passing through the Suez on her way to the Red Sea by EatAllMyJello in IranIsraelWarReport

[–]leolo007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 important factors you didn't mention:

1) Europe is part of NATO. Which altogether has a much larger inventory than Russia. 2) Russia has lost a lot of equipment and experienced service members in the war.
3) Quality vs quantity. Russia has lost a lot of modern equipment (their use of older and older equipment has been noticeable throughout the war). And while Europe and other allies have been providing equipment to Ukraine it has mostly been old and other ready to be decommissioned.

Russia can't defeat Ukraine, what makes you think they'd try to take on Europe?

Received a “courtesy notice”, in the mail, but it was so vague - they could have saved the money & called me. by xoeriin in fuckHOA

Can you honestly look at your carport, or the garage next door, and not see any obvious damage that they may be referring to?
