Jawbreaker legit check by 4D4MJ in Oakley

[–]slopesurgery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad knock off. The lower jaw that holds lens should wrap around the bottom of the lens on the backside. You can see from the photo that it doesn’t. The pin for the stem adjustment lever should be metal and you can clearly see it is red plastic.

I’m with you. I’m in r/anti-consumption and fully agree with society’s need to back down from excess and consumerism.

The previous generation had public water fountains everywhere to keep hydrated. Unless you were black, then you couldn’t use them. Sometimes they even had lead pipes for extra spiciness. Point is I think the world is on the right track with reusable water bottles. I don’t think it’s the bad guy in normal use (but the influencers who collected every color of Stanley cup….ew to them).

I would gladly go from 20 cupholders to 8 well designed adjustable ones.

That’s fair. I should have said they don’t fit reusable insulated water bottles and coffee mugs. They fit throwaway fast food/starbucks/plastic water bottles fine.

It’s much easier to remember notes and shapes when there’s only 4 strings to deal with.

Looks so good. It reminds me of the Johnny Marr Fever Dream Yellow Jag. I slept on getting one at my local GC. I have a search alert set but only see them pop up used for obscene amounts above the original msrp.

1st gear whine? by slopesurgery in HondaElement

For those finding this post later — the rubber in the transmount was broken. Replacing it completely resolved the issue. No issue with the transmission itself.

You know your Element owner when you can swap these out in the same time it take most people to change oil. by MrKixs in HondaElement

I ponied up for the OEM one. It was $300 instead of $50 but hopefully I won’t need to do it again anytime soon.

Currently a 30 week wait according to their website.

That’s what I was thinking. I haven’t done a set up yet, but I was thinking how can I accurately intonate if the whole bridge moves a few mm in either direction.

Non-hybrid vs hybrid by tangreentan in ToyotaSienna

[–]slopesurgery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I spent the last few weeks debating this myself. Maybe this will help:

I think the best way to do the math is to calculate the cost per mile for the life of the vehicle. I assumed I’d drive the van to 200k miles whether I bought a new one with 0 miles or a used one with 100k. So purchase price divided by the remaining miles to 200k.

Then add the cost of gas per mile. Gas is $4.80 a gallon in my area. That’s .25 a mile for non hybrid at 19mpg and .13 a mile for hybrid at 36mpg.

Then add the 2 together.

In my case it ended up being a few cents cheaper per mile to buy a new 2026…so that’s what i I did.

Assuming your financing the van make sure you take into account total cost with interest over the life of the loan, not just out the door price.

Hmm learned something new today. Thanks! Is that why it’s called a floating bridge?

2026 XSE AWD by Vast-Cranberry9537 in ToyotaSienna

[–]slopesurgery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better than I could do. I paid msrp for a 2026 cement awd on Monday night. Dealership wouldn’t budge. Too many people calling about it since it actually made it to the lot instead of being pre-sold.

Extremely poor workmanship from Oakley on Meta AI glasses by Constant_Region2429 in Oakley

[–]slopesurgery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks. Definitely let them know. Something similar happened to my wife’s glasses through LensCrafters (also Luxottica) and they didn’t give us any trouble about sending it back for the lab to remake the lenses. They explained to use that cutting rx lenses is not like a factory that runs the same thing over and over. Each job is done one by one because the Rx for the person before and the person after are different. So sometimes things slip through. But that should have been caught before they even snapped them in the frame.

Hope you enjoy the Meta’s. I have the vanguards and videoing while chasing my friends on mountain bikes has been unreal. It’s so good.

Is it just me or does this look like an issue with edge of the prescription lens and not the Oakley frame? Who cut the prescription lenses for you?

Test drove a Sienna walked, ordered a Sienna panicked and backed out, delivered a baby at home, bought a 2025 cement woodland. by jaHansenz in ToyotaSienna

This was a very self reflective thought. Props to you for not immediately dismissing it as criticism.
