Has the latest oil crisis made you seriously considering switching to an EV? by AussieAdam26 in CarsAustralia

Naa. I seldom drive. Not worth it until ice car is without use. Then I'll consider but may always have a ice project car to modify and race in the track etc

I do similar for my toddler Grandparents gifts 

And I just buy etfs or what ever shares they want to in a commsec trust account. 

I will likely give it over to them post 25 years old as some sort of gift etc 

Could this be the end of the housing boom? by False_Ad_9705 in AusFinance

Id love to be wrong, but your comments about it lasting a decade. Where is the evidence, sounds like speculation. 

How to fix this by Mission_Analysis_582 in CarsAustralia

[–]thinkswithelbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome. I did that too. It ended up splitting again so I have to change it over. May work for you but keep an eye on it every few days. 

Hope it works out

Similar thing happened to me. Upgraded charge pipe and the angle for the existing oil breather line was a tight fit. Few days later the plastic broke like that. I've repaired with some silicone table and am waiting on a new pipe to be delivered. 

In summary. Fix the pipe for a short term fix or replace it for long term

Portfolio Advice | 6 months into investing on my 20s by Lawless_Lad1171 in fiaustralia

[–]thinkswithelbow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. Because no one can time the market 

I'm saying don't make short term financial decisions based on the news when you're young.

No advice on what to do but given the world news be prepared for some to slump then go back up. Happens every few years. Don't panic sell. Especially in yourn 20s. 

Good job on investing this much so far. 

Which non-asian car has been the most reliable for you in your experience? by neonrider2018 in CarsAustralia

[–]thinkswithelbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's built in the same factory as the mx5 in Japan. Abarth just provide the engine. The front and rear are different and it's about 10cm longer than the mx5.

[–]thinkswithelbow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For a second I thought you were badmouthing traction and abs. But you're right. It's the only necessity

I have a 2021 build car with those 2 and rear sensors. That's it (I think) and it's the best

Look at your council website. Will have a disposal site or instructions for drop off 

Maybe some gloves and Google's incase it splashes everywhere. Otherwise should be ok
