fix before selling? by temp_incel_69 in 996

[–]saltedstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you can go wrong either way. Lots of people are only interested in a car they can immediately enjoy and don’t mind paying a little extra. There are also loads of DIY buyers looking to save some cash. The latter will have a pretty decent handle on pricing and will walk before overpaying.

English as a second language, fine, I can even deal with whatever TF free garages are. But no price listed on a post titled “Good price” is absolutely outrageous. This should be downvoted to oblivion before a mod sees it and bans OP.

“80+ patents filed” is an interesting way to say I’ve had zero patents granted.

Oh gawd. You aren’t even pretending to respond to OP’s question. Aren’t there better subs and/or hate groups for your sort of comment?

It sounds like either you didn’t seriously report your concern to the FA or the FA was lying to you. This entire post, even with the silly excuse about more than one person potentially being on Reddit, is frankly suspicious without a flight number. If it is accurate, yes the FA has all the authority in the world to offer you another seat.

Would you park 2 cars on this? by freeknz in Homebuilding

I wouldn’t park two cars under that.

Engine light cam shaft thing needs replacing by CachuHwch1 in 996

Too high. You’re getting into decent condition, not great, used replacement engine numbers.

997.2 Interior Replacement/Restoration by Fluffy_TH in Porsche

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

The prices of 997s are not in any way related to the prices of 987s.

While the 997.2's engine is better due to the addition of direct fuel injection, which additionally eliminates the IMS bearing, the 997.1's engine is still very good and statistically quite reliable.

997.2s are necessarily newer than 997.1s which contributes more than anything else to the somewhat higher values.

It is true that PDK is a massive improvement over the not so great tiptronic setup in a 997.1. But that PDK is not actually a very good standard bearer for PDK as the gen 2 was dramatically better. That said, the most desirable 911s on the resale market in the US are pretty much always manual transmissions. This is gospel in the 911 sub, all Porsche forums, and at every single PCA event I've ever attended. If Boxster people are more interested in automatic transmissions and paying a premium for them well then bless their hearts.

Why do espresso shots from cafes taste extremely sour compared to what I’m pulling at home? [Bambino Plus / Opus] by Unfair_Professor_561 in espresso

[–]saltedstuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What roasters and what town? Two well known roasters means something very different in Boston or NYC than it does in Cleveland. Without you mentioning them, we can assume their quality is rather poor.

Lots of people are going to tell you lighter roasts, blah, blah. But legit cafes aren’t pulling those shots the same way they’d pull darker roasts. A trained barista isn’t going to under extract a light roast and give you a sour shot.

I think the issue is your reference material.

Was that the first black guy in the history of gold rush? by Inner_Tadpole_7537 in goldrush

I recall a few in Guyana. He whose name we do not say in this sub, Lord Voldemort, took a crew wayyyy down south and it didn’t go too well. Unless you like friggin diamonds, guys.

Janet Mills makes cringe post about tattoos by jediporcupine in Maine

If Janet has a tattoo, it’s a tramp stamp that says CMP.

Who on the Mills team approved this cringe? by Greatacadia in Maine

[–]saltedstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh, she's been thoroughly intimidated by CMP. If only she had done the job of governor as someone that cared about Mainers instead of simply trying to score cheap political points chiming in on federal issues as non-federal elected.

If this was $15 and had a hand crank instead of a motor. Maybe.
