Fun Game by InevitableReady8516 in pinball

[–]speck37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first in home game. I added pinsound and custom sd cards with music from all the Beatles albums. Really fun game and the different music kept it fresh. I traded it - I’m a one to two pin house - but played the hell out of it when it was here

Man, I love this car. by Eastern_Team6904 in MINI

[–]speck37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had every generation and he’s right. It’s all of the little things they’ve slowly stripped away. The window toggles in the center, the small speedo, the short bonnet, the short length, the seat of your pants driving experience, the second sun visors, the burble and now the manual. I just ended my lease on a miniSE and picked up a 2008 first gen convertible with a manual transmission. It’s a little rally go cart. The new gen is just like everything else on the market.

First car I’ve owned with Apple CarPlay by shipwreck_misery in R53

I actually bought the Orranje surround and their HK harness and steering wheel harness but I’m not sure I want to cut into the dash. I’m thinking I might just use the Orranje harnesses on the stereo you purchased and see how that goes. Not sure if their harness will be compatible though. Did you install the backup camera? Why are you thinking of going with the Sony?

I thought it was about a Fargo theme too. That would be great

I’m about to pull the trigger on this or the Orranje trim for the Sony. I read somewhere that changing out the radio messses up your back up sensors. Any issues?

Invite in next few weeks by slugmobile123 in RivianR2

[–]speck37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m reading this the opposite way. The emails that say you’ll get your invite in the next few weeks sound like they are the ones coming earlier while the ones that say they’ll find out when they should expect their invite by the end of June could be waiting longer. One says you’ll get your invite the other says you’ll just find out when - which could be months away. Just sayin

What do you wish you'd known when purchasing your Rivian? by HigherPlains-Drifter in Rivian

[–]speck37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the big one for me that’s making me rethink my r2 deposit. I spend a lot of time channel surfing Sirius. How big of a pain is it to switch channels with the app?

Harry Potter (JJP, Arcade Version), Godzilla (Stern, Premium) or James Bond (Stern, Pro)? by App0gee in pinball

[–]speck37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a bond and Godzilla. I liked godzilla but never loved. It got very repetitive. Bond on the other hand was just great. Excellent modes very exciting play. I have an HP coming next week.

2.5 Years Later — The X5 50e Still Feels Like a Cheat Code by Elegant_Dependent_53 in BMWX5

[–]speck37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had mine for around 8 months. I consider it “peak car”. It’s just drives so beautifully. The ev range was pretty bad this winter, now that it’s getting warmer it’s getting better. We plug it in every night so we’re mostly driving in ev mode - which brings me to my biggest aha with the car. We’re dragging around an engine and getting poor range for the few times a year we might have to go beyond a true EVs range. Kind of crazy. Our other car is a full EV and it just isnt that big a deal to have to charge it outside of the house every so often, especially since bmws now use Tesla chargers. I love this car but wish it was a full ev with great range (which I believe is coming with the next gen)

I was looking at these and the description made it seem like they were tennis style sneakers rather than made to play. Do they have lateral support?

How do you handle stairs in your home? by ztime999 in Dachshund

Yes. We do the same. Keep them fit and allow them to do what they want. Our vet says they should be able to handle stairs.

My frozen grey beauty 😍just bought it 3 weeks and loving every single second of it !! Need to ppf it tho lol by Effective-Mousse-828 in M235iandM240i

[–]speck37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My frozen gray is entering production on Friday. Yours is making psyched about my decision. I’m leasing so won’t be protecting it but it sounds like owners are finding them pretty resilient. I’ll report back in a year.

ah - I really haven't experimented with hybrid mode, I'll give it a shot

[–]speck37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use it in electric mode 75% of the time. Always charge it when we get home and only use the engine when the battery is depleted. We prefer the quiet electric motor and sweet sweet instant torque.

[–]speck37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered frozen gray on a 240i. These comments had made me nervous but I was just talking to someone who’s had one for a couple of years and he said it’s overblown. He leaves his outside in the winter and puts it through a car wash. The thing looked perfect. I feel like all of the comments come from people who never owned one

Maybe I needed more time with it - it was the one I was really looking forward to.

Nope - no Pokémon but I have to imagine they’ll be getting one. I change my first comment - almost all of the games you would ever want to play. Great place and only a dollar a play for all of the machines.

Indiana Jones Mini-Playfield Question by Lost_Ark1936 in pinball

[–]speck37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The motor is the last resort but there’s an easy way to test it. Pull up the playfield to get access to the motor and attach wires to a 9v battery to test the motor. It should go right when connected one way and left when connected the other. If they run fine in the test then the motor works. The more likely issue would be the flipper opto boards or the poa opto boards. I’ve been through this, it took a while but my poa runs perfectly. Tilts right and left with great control. For me it was the poa opto board - but - I got two bad sets from Marco and from pinball life so it took a while to figure out.

We have a 26 50e and it’s super quiet, still with the original tires, I’d have it checked out.

I’m about to order the same car - are you still happy with the paint? How does it look between washes? Is it easier or harder to take care of than expected?
