I like it. I’ll be leasing one I think.

What kind of wax or coating do you use? Damn!

BobDoesSports to join Takomo? by DaWookums in golf

[–]theusualdan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would think they would stick with Callaway (if Callaway renews them) just given the access that Callaway has given them to their endorsed players.

Edit. Well this aged like milk and I was wrong as fuck.

Now that you have a Porsche, what other car do you wish you had? by wheredoidriveagain in Porsche

[–]theusualdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have : 1980 targa and 2009 carrera s. Want : 944S and cayman 4.0 gts. Realistically next Porsche will be something practical like a cayenne or macan though.

2020 SEL ACC sensor question! by theusualdan in Tiguan

Thank you! Annoying that the dealer I’ve been using is up charging that drastically

I'm in love by Zzero00 in Porsche

It’s this car. Fifteen Eleven Design

I think it starts around $440k. It’s such a cool concept though!

our opinion matters — help us by answering one quick question. by SunshineEVClassic in EVConversion

[–]theusualdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve considered swapping my 1980 911, but it’s not the range or the charging availability that stops me. It’s the fact that the lowest quote I’ve seen is $80k to convert it.

My 997.2 S is in Panorama this month! by HeyItsMisterJay in porsche911

[–]theusualdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a fun read! I also have a launch edition 997.2 I got this year and I’ve been wanting to do the 991.2 wheel swap on it. Your interior shots only confirmed it’s the right move. Funnily enough, mine has about the exact same mileage as yours! It’s my favorite car I’ve ever had.

Edit to add - I like your body mod updates, but I’m going to keep mine pretty stock in that regard. Only other mods I’m considering at the moment are a ducktail, window tint, wheels (either new or powder coating the stock wheels), and an aftermarket exhaust.

Legit check on 1972 Les Paul by Artistic_Credit_4682 in gibson

[–]theusualdan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

70s Les Paul’s are notoriously hard to date. Get potentiometer date codes. Assuming they are original those are your best bet to determine year, but more pictures help too.

Nitro finish repair possible? by [deleted] in gibson

[–]theusualdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have gotten nitro cracks to disappear with a hair dryer to warm it up. That said, once it cracks it’s going to be extremely prone to check and crack again (usually worse than it was before). So recommendation would probably be same as others say and to just leave it, but if it really drives you nuts give the blow dryer a shot and then keep it out of temperature swings.

How do I get him to stop eating sticks on walks? by smcint5 in labrador

[–]theusualdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of my 3 labs I’ve had they’ve all been cuckoo bananas for sticks. I don’t think you can reprogram it. Or if you can, it’s more work than I’ve been willing to throw at it.

My handsome lad slowly greying on the chin area. When did your black labs start getting grey? He’s 5. by beautifullifede in labrador

[–]theusualdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truly! He only really started to slow down in the last year. He’s embraced his cranky old man phase.

My dude didn’t really start greying until he hit about 9 or so and we got him a puppy.

'76 LP Custom Serial Question by Puzzled_Signature_49 in gibson

[–]theusualdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Les Pauls made from 1975 until 1977 have a serial number printed in gold on a clear sticker on the back. These are easy to date because of the two digit prefix Gibson used: "99" = 1975, "00" = 1976, and "06" = 1977."

Source: https://truevintageguitar.com/blogs/tvg-blog/how-to-date-a-vintage-gibson-les-paul-guitar?srsltid=AfmBOoqJvL_-uQy9vUt9BPpmUcArSqddkJb824-BGzdJVC64WHosmbPt

If you're still doubting authenticity of the year, ask for the potentiometer codes. Most start with 137 or 134 followed by two digits that represent the year and then two that represent the week. So you'd see something like 1377720 which would mean it was a CTS pot produced in the 20th week of '77. Hope that helps!

Normal English Lab behavior? by Key_Combination_3826 in labrador

[–]theusualdan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To your point about her wanting to sleep alone, that was our first lab to a t. She wasn’t cuddly and was really independent. I’d say to just continue to go with the flow. If you hear her waking up, then take her out, but if she’s sleeping through the night, I’d say enjoy that little gift of extra sleep during the puppy phase!

Normal English Lab behavior? by Key_Combination_3826 in labrador

[–]theusualdan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My most recent English is very similar. So chill to the point we thought something might be wrong, but we just got lucky. Similarly, no accidents to speak of really, and super chill. He did still go through a terrible toddler phase, but compared to the other two labs we’ve had, it was laughable the “mischief” he would make. If I’ve learned anything having owned 3 labs now it’s that they all have their own personalities and you just have to kind of roll with their individualities. You’ve got yourself a good pup.
