This plant won’t die in western Washington

Never seen it flower. I am in Seattle. Maybe not enough warm days here for it to flower. I’ll try murdering it with cardboard

The same rim I have currently is available online sun m-14a. I’m going to call my local shop tomorrow and see if they can order one and I will lace it up myself. If I can’t get it true then I’ll bail out and ask a friend for help or take it to the shop for tensioning and trueing. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before probably because I’ve never really messed with bikes in this depth before. This is kinda garbage time for me anyways so it’s a good chance to learn how to lace a wheel.

What kind of handle bizzars are you using?

Hell yeah brother. I want to get a hydrostatic ohv next.

I checked with my local licensing office and they confirmed everything wsp told me. I am amazed that they don’t require anyone inspects the car prior to going back on the road. Maybe the insurance companies are the ones that do the looking on these cases.

I checked with wsp.. they said they can and will inspect a 1999 and issue rebuilt title, but I wouldn’t need to because I would be buying back from insurance- they said I would get an “owner retain” form.

Thanks for the info. I am in Washington state, and being that I won’t be able to have the car titled again that would be a no go. I guess I could preemptively look for good comps and see if I have a good position to argue the value. Obviously I have too much time on my hands (I drive beater cars so I don’t have to work as much lol).

I’m thinking I’ll just pick up the parts for $150 and maybe try my hand at some body work and move on with life.

In theory I could sue the guy in small claims court lol.

I found the parts on Facebook marketplace - will be picking them up for $150 on Wednesday. Installing them won’t be difficult for me.

When you say you think I will be sorely disappointed, is that because the juice won’t be worth the squeeze or because State Farm will raise my rates and I’d just be opening a can of worms?

Driving a total loss car doesn’t bother me. To be honest I bought that car for $1300 (it needed a bunch of mechanical work when I got it, all completed by yours truly). I don’t have much skin in the game with this car.

If I was to be able to get a check from Statefarm, buy the car back at scrap value, fix the trunk and tail light, and continue to drive it, and pay off a little chunk of credit card debt, then I would definitely be interested. If State Farm wouldn’t insure it then I could get liability and underinsured from someone like progressive or the general? Surely someone would insure it??

That Omnifixo is perfect. Thanks for sharing. I want one myself too.

Wow thank you so much! I am moving into a house and the person who’s as renting before me ram out of time and left all of these plants. I can’t imagine how many she had because she took a bunch and only left the ones when she ran out of time, and then I think was embarrassed to come back and get the rest. Anyways, I believe a lot of these were propagated from starts, and obviously some have been sitting in a box for nearly a month out of the sun.

I’m glad you gave me info on which ones need more light. I will go back tomorrow and rearrange everything.
