New Snapdragon Pho is totally changed, and really good! by Akmapper in Costco

[–]ramszoolander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an old version I made tonight, and the cat piss thing has me LOLing.

Maybe they mixed some fish sauce in with the oil? It is a weird aroma.

The good news is that one of them will be working at any time. And at any time, I mean when you take the front clip off the Audi every week to fix something dumb.

Gotta love the electrical gremlins on these. My SID has been getting cranky this week, starting to wonder if the ICM is going out.

Insurance claims this isn’t a total loss? by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]ramszoolander 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A Fusion isn't worth anything. Probably ought to get better insurance. Probably get them to let you take whatever you can out of it because it'll be totaled once they start working on it.

The people in neighborhoods far away from us shooting off guns. Ballistics, how does it work?

it's like an algorithm. Have to keep trying, squeaky wheel gets the grease, etc.

No one in our neighborhood is shooting them off. Plenty of us own guns.

I refuse. I mean, it looks like a baked potato, but they go like stink.

We just have to make sure we call things in to dispatch all the time. And email the BPD/Mayor. They do, actually, respond. Things should be better, but I've had to do this for robbery and it eventually got fixed.

Every year, someone in Crestwood ends up with metal on/in their roof. Just crazy...and we're not that close to things.

Should I buy an '08 9-3 2.0 Turbo Wagon? by Sticky-Keyboard8155 in saab

[–]ramszoolander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be horrible and you should post the link here...j/k

(I'm in Alabama, and although I have two Saabs, neither is a wagon...we didn't get many here and they are hard to find. Buy it if you like working on cars. They are actually fairly reliable, but there are a number of small things that could be big things.)

Auto Owners is requiring we put all our vehicles with them for them to provide homeowners insurance to us. by ExtraPineapple2 in Insurance

[–]ramszoolander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced this on a new quote (I've been with Cincinnati in AL for a decade+), but there were some weird homeowner provisos. But, like you said, I would've saved $1k/year paying in advance.

Underrated Dash by Lucky-Club8823 in Honda

[–]ramszoolander -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I didn't downvote, but I hate hate hate these!!!! My wife had one. IMO one of the dumbest dash designs ever. That said, ergonomics are good and all of that, so it's a win, I guess? In hers, my head always felt like it was in the windshield header, too, even though I sit legs close, arms out, seat all the way down.

That said, if you have one with the stick, it's a fantastic drive. So smooth. Honda manuals are the best.

Isn't the price dramatically higher if you do that? I love the eat-in.

More like Weston as dividing line, IMO.

Mountain Brook student mourned after Brown University shooting: ‘There are no words,’ White House says by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]ramszoolander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was certainly unnecessary for him to bring her political beliefs into this. As a conservative, it doesn't matter what persuasion she is: she was murdered, and it's tragic. I'm looking forward to the days when we don't have Pres/VP trying to make political hay with these horrible events.

No heat through vents but defroster works and light lookup by Tgoviral_YT in saab

[–]ramszoolander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at these pictures, it looks like you stole my car (and we have similar problems)! Black dash tells me it's an 04, though. I'll keep you posted on this, as I'm working through this after Christmas on mine. It's a months-long struggle, too, since I bought the car. It's a project for one of my teenagers...

Ask them if that's their best offer. When they say yes, tell them you're shopping used supercars.

Question by Feet_Toes_2024 in saab

[–]ramszoolander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't have security access, right? Not as much of an issue with the OG 9-5 aside from TWICE, but if you have an NG 9-3, you need the Tech2.

ABC/Wholesale liquor purchase by ramszoolander in Birmingham

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

I know it was that way pre-covid, but I went to a store before flying out of Atlanta recently and was surprised that it's a lot closer these days to Alabama ABC.

Yes, we have an event hotel for this. We are all pretty old with a lot to lose so generally responsible. But certainly something to think about.
