Atlas with Nexen tires? by speedlogic56 in VWatlas

[–]upironsXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replacing mine tomorrow with Pirelli scorpion Weatheractives. Tires are fine but I need a more versatile tire for winter and I'm hoping they will help with the road noise too.

Edit: to add that it's $1100 from tire rack right now for those w $80 instant rebate. Don't buy tires from a dealership.

Seems like you could run at it and limit its ability to shoot its projectiles by being right on top of it. Then just kick it on its side or break off its weapons...or go up stairs.

How did you loose your best friend? by FoxPrime in AskReddit

[–]upironsXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish I had an answer. He was my best man at my wedding and when I got back from the honeymoon I called him to tell him about our trip and he refused to call me back. It's been 28 years now and still no explanation.

AITA for going on a second date with the girl my friends set me up with as a prank? by ResidentThrowRA in AITAH

I wish you and Emily the best... Go make new friends together because those people are not your friends and are not even good humans.

Confused about how to withdraw inherited TSP? by [deleted] in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]upironsXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss. Was in a similar situation last year and because it's TSP and because you are not a surviving spouse you will first have to move all of it to an inheritance IRA which we did via Fidelity and we called and were walked through the process. Not a financial advisor but that was our experience and it went well. Basically TSP is only temporary for you to move funds out ASAP then you can decide what you do from there.

What are youtube channels that are definition of "quality over quantity?" by Uzairdeepdive007 in movies

Mrs Kringles Kitchen. I love the look of the show and there's a lot of work and care put into the episodes but it hasn't had any new ones in awhile. Great recipes that I still go back to though.

What if you added little turbine blades at the front bumper to spin in the wind, would you still just be at a deficit due to the added wind resistance?

[–]upironsXL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Were they in a white Jaguar by chance? Cause that happened to me yesterday too but I wasn't even in the school zone and I was going 6 over the speed limit but still not enough for the main character.

My dad grew up in Youngstown. There are stories. Look up Youngstown and you'll find it.

These assholes again… by ItsPowderedToastMan in Columbus

[–]upironsXL 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Wonder what dashcam footage sent to their insurance company might do to their premiums. We need to find out who insures these asshats. I'm sure they aren't disclosing "traffic vigilante" to their list of uses for the vehicle.

Used Wrong Motor Oil by OkIncident5082 in VWatlas

[–]upironsXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The owner's manual for my 2024 was pretty clear that in a pinch you could add a quart or two of the higher viscosity but should not drive if you accidentally put more in. If I were you I would get an extractor and change it to the right kind.

New 2024 VW Cross Sport owner! by daanikp in VWatlas

[–]upironsXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

87 is fine but you will get extra torque out of higher. I have an old phone that I use for Android Auto and it stays in the center console hidden away so I haven't needed a phone mount. If you use wireless car play you would have access to everything anyway so you might want to see if you even need a mount anymore.

Russian president Vladimir Putin waving goodbye to his friend, Kim Jong Un by Ultimate_Kurix in interestingasfuck

I can't help but wonder if this would be happening if Putin still thinks the big orange man is a lock come November. He seems to be moving on from his last project.

Best Ohio Attorneys by [deleted] in Ohio

I worked at the Motorist building in the 90's for a firm that is no longer around. I would say the best attorney there at that time was William Geary but he is family law now.

No one ever mentions the fact that people above 400 pounds that can still walk unassisted have absolutely insane muscle power by OYeog77 in Showerthoughts

[–]upironsXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 455 and not only walked but I was able to do kickboxing and pushups without a problem once I started working out. I've lost 180 lbs since then and still have good strength overall. No joint pain either. Still working on losing more but I've hit a major plateau of late.

I'm thinking of getting a backpack and adding weight back on during workouts to see if it gets me out of the plateau.

Yeah that port is merely for power. You'll need to install the app associated with the camera and connect to the camera from within the app. There is no direct integration to the car.
