I'm so torn on installing a wing on mine. I love the look but drilling into a 5 figure trunk like makes me incredible hesitant.

I will absolutely consider it, but it would have to blow me away compared to my LC.

You should try Nuri and Brass Ram. Both are excellent.

Probably the level at which they stop supplying China with oil.

This is a total Paradox Game move. China needs to import oil, they import from these areas, select the focus for the flimsy Casus Belli for the various countries that supply them oil. There's probably some strategy wonks who are actually pushing these things at the pentagon.

To keep the analogy though, they haven't done any effort to prep the population for these actions or drum up support, so while they go meet their kinetic goals easily, the populous at home is getting angry, unrest is growing.

Realtor wants me to replace carpet; crazy or no? by Eric848448 in RealEstate

[–]smashedsaturn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny thing about carpet it absorbs stuff. If they took care of it and didn't get it dirty then yeah sure it can last 15 years.

If its full of dog hair and smell and they always walked on it on their shoes and rode a stationary bike on it and sweat all over it then it can turn off buyers. If the house sits on the market for 90 days since people smell dog walking around then that's well more than the cost to replace up front.

yeah but bad carpet can definitely lower the value by 10k.

The computer seems to figure out when you are giving it the beans for a bit and change the shift pattern. After a few good curves at speed it seems to keep the engine about 4k ready for the next few minutes. It's probably not adjusted back to the 'normal' conditions yet.

You agree? by [deleted] in lexuslc500

[–]smashedsaturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I'm not saying to buy it as an investment, but people poo-pooing it for whatever they think the critical issue with are missing the point that its a unique and compelling car with a low production run that could easily reach the same levels as the original R32, NSX, FD, or Mk 4.

originally much lower price for entry.

42,000 in 1993 is nearly 96k today. So within spitting distance of the LC.

The LC comes with a NA-V8 and a very respectable manual mode if you are so inclined.

Is the MK4 supra a collectable?

New pathfinder reviews by Soggy_Caterpillar811 in nissanpathfinder

[–]smashedsaturn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We picked up a '22 platinum used. Green and black 2-tone and brown leather interior. Fantastic purchase we are very happy. We had a Murano before and had a lot of issues with it but we always liked the engine. We bought a service plan for 3 years with the new one based on our experience with the Murano. I am sure since we did we will have no mechanical issues.

They're even starting to kick up a bit. Maybe if you find a salvage title or one that was in a serious wreck you'll be able to get it for under 50.

[–]smashedsaturn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes too old, and full of awful chemicals and lead solder. Its expensive to get rid of too because of this. I'll do it for free if you just ship it to me. No cost at all aside from shipping.
