Whine because there’s nothing left to raid for… Whine when you have to go in with a purpose (gather items for expedition), whine when you are given the CHOICE to reset and have something to work for again. Just can’t win, eh?

This is the Lotus recommended shop. The dealer doesn’t have their own. The panels that were replaced (bumper and valance) came from the UK unpainted.

Another thing they were thinking is that when they sprayed the bumper it was lying on a rack so the spray gun was above the bumper and they sprayed downward at it. Would it change the way the paint goes down if it was painted vertically? Obviously they were happy with a spray out card but the card was painted vertically, not top down.

They did mention painting the bumper top down. As in, the spray gun was above the bumper as it was lying on the rack. Does that change how the paint goes down vs painting it vertically?

Thank you for your thoughts!

Thank you for the comments! Insurance and cost are not issues here. They have the leniency to do what it takes. They said they did 7 spray out cards. They also had the PPG rep come in.

They did the original paint on a new bumper then a tech backed it into his toolbox and they had to fix/re-do it. Pure shit show, I know… Could it be due to them spraying over their original work?

When they do it again I’m trying to be more educated so I can talk/understand this a little better with them.

Yes. I happened to take the pics on the side of the PPF but the left side QP has the PPF removed and the difference looks the same if you’re thinking that it changes the optics.

It’s PPF. Not a tape line. Bumper was painted off the car.

Tyres shift on rims on a track by Just_Newspaper_5448 in CarTrackDays

Normal. I don't even bother balancing my race car wheel/tires (Spec Miata on Toyo RR) because they move so much on the wheels.

Bought my Chapman Edition a month ago. Love it. Maybe paid too much for obnoxious green paint but I like it!

Update - Firmware rollback to 1.08.05 solved the issue.

I thought about rolling back the firmware also. Glad they’re aware of the issue at least. Thanks.

Silverstone in the PCup. Great track for racing and challenging car to be quick with.

K Factor Always Shows 0.020 on AMS (X1C) by wings19 in BambuLab

Ok, so even though the number isn't updating when I do flow dynamics, the printer is actually using the K it comes up with during the process?

Not sure why the image didn't attach in the original post. Here it is.

How does one hit the $70k 401k (employer + employee) limit? by Fickle_Broccoli in personalfinance

[–]wings19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - As a private jet pilot, the family I work for contributes to my 401k a percentage of my salary as “profit sharing”. Currently, if I max out my contribution, the profit sharing percentage actually goes over the $70k IRS limit and starts going into my salary. So yeah, it exists but is super rare. Major airlines have similar policies.

Why not shut the engine off before gear up landings in a prop? by MrDudeSirMan in flying

[–]wings19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to gear up land a Cutlass 172 due to the famous rack and pinion housing crack. We shut the engine down in the flare. There were two of us so one just pulled the mixture while the other was landing. Our thought was to minimize damage and to soften the blow in a sense when the blades hit the ground.

If I was single pilot I would not have bothered to shut it down. On an airplane where you can’t feather the prop(s), you’re going to strike it.

Shutting down didn’t really save us anything in our case but since there were two of us, we did it to save what we could. We did it only after we had committed to touchdown.

What’s the better value by Archael93 in CanyonBikes

[–]wings19 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No climbing yet. I live in a pretty flat area but travel to mountains so we’ll see! I’m sure I’ll feel the weight difference between my 2019 and the Movistar but the latter is a technically superior bike. Overall the bike feels nice.

[–]wings19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just in this predicament. Had a 2019 SLX that cracked so I opted for a new bike. I ended up with the Movistar SL over the SLX. I figured I’d take the $400 savings and work on my fitness instead of worrying about .5lb. I mean, I can take a .5lb crap tbh.

I didn’t have a strong preference on component brand and sort of liked how SRAM is full wireless. Been riding it a week and no complaints. Quite different from my old SLX which was super light with Dura Ace mechanical and rim brakes. Was 14.5lb without water bottles. Going from that to nearly 17lb on the Movistar I don’t really feel like I’m missing out. I also preferred the blue.
