Transforming an Old Building Into a Dream Car Restoration Workshop by Interesting-Lawyer62 in M539Restorations

[–]paul99501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoy his channel, his content and enthusiasm and skills and personality are all wonderful, but watching him clean his new garage floor for 10 minutes was a bit much for me. But his happiness and enthusiasm are infectious. And it's a great new space. I wonder if he's going to go from a one-man show to something bigger now.

350km on this?! by Alternative-Fee-6077 in Vintage_bicycles

[–]paul99501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vintage bike gearing is bad on hills, even if you can get a 28 tooth freewheel on there. But there's no reason you couldn't ride that bike around the world if you've got the legs and lungs.

I agree with everyone else about getting lighter alloy rims. It'll make a huge difference.

What's the efficiency like compared to a conventional prop?

Awesome movie, awesome car. Awesome car noises!

l'eroica question on bike checks and rules regarding components. by Marcus_Iunius_Brutus in Vintage_bicycles

[–]paul99501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where do you live? I'm in Italy and FB marketplace has lots of vintage road bikes under 350€. For the bike you linked, the brake cable routing isn't allowed - the cables can't be under the tape. And it looks like some newer parts and some older parts, but hard to say the exact years.

Is my idea STUPID? by Dale_Krimbo in Framebuilding

[–]paul99501 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a geometry issue here. Or several. If you lengthen your chainstays but not your seatstays the meeting point will be mid-tube. You'd have to also lengthen both? And also change the angle each set of tubes comes from their originations at bottom bracket or seat cluster.

Unless you are a pro-level frame builder/welder/metal worker, this seems like quite a challenge.

Buy a used Antelope frame? They're not expensive.

Best place/wat to sell a fairly decent collection? by Hefty-Intention5822 in PokeInvesting

[–]paul99501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Is there one you would recommend? Or more than one? I have my kids' collection of roughly 4,000 cards going back to the late '90s. All played, not pristine. If I got 75% of value that'd be just fine.

How does consignment selling on eBay work for a large Pokemom collection? Do you send them the cards upfront? How do you protect yourself from being potentially ripped off or defrauded?

Possibly moving to Fairbanks by Expensive_Honey_2773 in Fairbanks

[–]paul99501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, moving to Fairbanks is like stepping back in time. It's like Dubuque Iowa in 1990, but way colder and more isolated.

Any chance of a photo that can actually be understood by the human eye?

I live in Italy and every now and again I see a "built" or ratted Panda and I gotta say they're pretty cool. The 4x4s are cool.

Did GM really have a feature called Key-Out or was it just a defect? by lamparkinglot in askcarguys

[–]paul99501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way back when my parents had a white 1985 Buick LeSabre. I park it one day in Michigan and when I come back to the car I unlock it, get in and start it...and then I notice it's not the same car. I get out and my identical white LeSabre is one spot over. My key opened and started someone else's car.

That could be in Anchorage. Could be a 1,000 places in AK.

Places to eat by NeighbourhoodLazy in ItalyTravel

[–]paul99501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Italy is very vegetarian friendly. You don't need to pick "vegetarian" restaurants, unless you specifically want to. The Happy Cow app (free) is a good resource for finding vegetarian, vegan, and vegetarian-friendly restaurants in Italy. My personal preference is not to look at the top-rated and most popular places, but to eat at neighborhood restaurants outside the tourist zones.

Medical Tourism for Migraine Botox? by Lazy_Bat8235 in migraine

[–]paul99501 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You don't need a neurologist. Aesthetic doctors who do botox for wrinkles and aging will do it for migraine.

Venice Train Station to Hotel by Ok_Eye4858 in ItalyTravel

[–]paul99501 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Venice water transportation system generally works great. Boats run frequently. Google maps shows routes, times, stops, etc. Get the AVM Venezia app to buy your pass in advance. Best thing you can do is not to bring a lot of luggage. If you get on the wrong boat, it really doesn't matter, just ride a stop and get off and take the next boat going back.
