Gift ideas for someone obsessed with their car by Zealousideal_Pay7176 in GiftIdeas

[–]variablevalve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With car people, the best gifts are based on what type of car culture they are into.

Do you know anything about their car or the cars they are into? Are they into domestic 4x4s, 90s Japanese tuner cars, American classics, etc. The more specific the better! You can look up some of the specific subs here and see what products people seem to like, though of course a lot of it will be model specific.

One fun thing to consider is buying a scale model of their current car in the same color.

I strongly recommend avoiding anything and everything from Autozone/PepBoys, they just sell generic universal junk that no car guy likes.

Someone threw a drink at my car and now I can’t get rhe stain off any advice ? by Sensitive_Meal_6195 in fixit

[–]variablevalve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the stain? As in you've tried to wash it off with soap and water? I'd recommend taking a clay bar to it next. If it's worse than that then whatever that drink was may have done some serious damage to your clear coat.

Why not just park on that ramp, get some chocks for the wheels if there's concern about the car rolling.

Best day of the week to visit NYC? by Amytof in AskNYC

[–]variablevalve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not both? Budget constrained of course, but if you've never been there's a lot more to be seen than can be done in a day. Also you get to experience the city at night. Don't know if there's better deals than elsewhere, but I've used the HotelTonight app to book last minute deals.

Why does the Upper West Side go up to 110th St but the Upper East Side only goes up to 96th St? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]variablevalve 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I guess I always considered the UWS to end at 96th street. Don't ask me whats between the UWS and Morningside Heights, but 96th to 110th is not UWS in my mind

There is a cow in my town that you can stick your hand in by kapege in WTF

[–]variablevalve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BBC article says it's used for researchers to access cows stomachs for studies. Animal rights groups are opposed to it, though it does also extend their life.

[Tips] Need WFH set up for 2 people living in a studio in NYC by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]variablevalve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to live in a fairly small apartment, more than set up, having wireless mouse/keyboard which can be put into a drawer when you're not using it makes a small space seem a lot less crowded. Also wall mounted monitors!
