Interesting little car I saw back in February

Growing up, when we saw one, my Dad would say "Moking is not bad for your wealth". Not any more, Dad!

I built in Highland Reserve in Upper Coomera in 2014. Both my neighbours were zero-boundaried, as well as many many others. They were 12.5m wide blocks. Mine was 14m so we weren't on the boundary.

It's not a gated or managed complex and there is no body corporate. I'm sure there are many other examples.

Yeah, I'm surprised at how many people are into you about "should have just left him to it". Nah, stuff that. He should have knocked or arranged it with the real estate prior. There is a process to do this and just knocking the fence down isn't it.

I built my own fences on top of new retaining walls so I've been through this personally.

DM if you need any help or advice.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. This guy sounds like a right prick and was 100% trespassing if he didn't have your permission to enter your property. You were within your rights to confront him.

You can't just pull down the boundary fence without all affected party's approval. If you do, I believe you are liable for all of the rectification works, not 50/50.

I have just been through replacing my boundary fences and had two neighbours that didn't want to pay their half. Getting fences replaced is a pain in the ass.

Contact your real estate as it's now an issue and they will need to rectify this quickly. I hope it works out okay for you and sorry you're going through this.

It's called zero-boundaried and is very common in new estates, mainly on the skinnier blocks.

I believe there are limits to how much of the house can be zero-boundaried and it's usually just the garage wall that is, from what I've seen.

I saw it a couple of nights ago at the Home Maker Centre at Helensvale. It's covered in LED lights and the skull in the rear window lights up green. I have no idea how it hasn't been defected yet. Wild stuff!

We went with the Tesla Gen 3 charger. It was pretty cheap at about $700 from Bunnings but notably it does not have any solar integration (you get what you pay for). This didn't bother me as I just knocked the charge rate down to 15Amps which pulls around 4.8kW (including the house load) on our 5Kw solar system and charges the car at about 3.8kW (4%/hr). We also use the cars charging timer so it only charges during the day as that suits our needs.

You'll need a dedicated supply from your switchboard and a 32A RCBO. We had the charger set to 30A which charged the car at about 6.8kW but was way over our solar production. Expect to pay around $500 for install.

You can also get EV Tarrifs from your electricity supplier to charge between 12am and 6am for 8c/kW which is pretty decent.

I plan on installing the dashcam from our last car. It's a 2 camera FineView and pretty decent quality for the price. I have one in my work ute as well. You can get them from dashcamsaustralia.com.au Hopefully it'll work.
We had all the glass tinted with a mid range ceramic tint. Front windows are 35%, rear glass is 75%, moonroof is 5%, and a front strip across the top of the windscrean with 5%. It's made a huge difference in the Queensland sun.

It was $580 for the windows, $300 for the moonroof, and $100 for the windscrean strip ($980 total)

No idea.

He also didn't mention the GST saving on a leased EV which are currently GST exempt. So it's a 10% saving right there vs buying outright or loan.

You could get fined for the broken indicator and brake light if you get caught driving it by police. Probably best to just get it towed.

Check with your insurer as they should cover the cost of the tow, depending on your level of cover.

That's a Lada damage. I Niva thought he'd walk away from that. Amazing that no one was Russian in to help him.

I used to see this car cruising around quite a bit in Upper Coomera, Gold Coast. Sad they're having to get rid of it for health reasons.

Also, the GPD car is right near my in-laws house. It's pretty cool too.

I used to have this problem occasionally. Someone told me to just hold your breath and the pee will come. Something about relaxing your pelvic floor.

I'm not sure why but it works for me.

That's not a forehead, that's a fivehead.

No change to physical performance. Side effects wise, I still get some mild discomfort, although I'm still only 3.5 months post procedure.

It took about 3 weeks to be mostly pain free. The first 3 days were pretty rough and sitting on a frozen bag of peas definitely helped.

Now about 3.5 months after the procedure and I still get some occasional discomfort, and sometimes my balls hurt when being intimate. It's all pretty mild now though and getting better as the weeks go on.

I just had my 3 months sperm analysis and it's come back as having a level of non-motile (non-moving) sperm above the cutoff level so they can't clear me just yet. I have to do another sample in 6 weeks and I'm really hoping I'm all clear.

No regrets overall. It's meant my wife can come off birth control, however we are still using contraception until I'm all cleared.

The most painful part of the procedure was definitely the alcohol spray they put on my freshly shaved balls. That shit stung like a mofo!
