    This made me LOL because I definitely have a spreadsheet with historical usage and multiple rates to toggle between. No I am not an Energy Ogre customer and no I don't do any marketing gimmicks. Lowest realized rate is all I'm interested in.

    Fuck OU. Forever.

    The only time I've ever got a door ding was when I thought I'll be normal this time and park in a normal spot and it will be fine. Sure enough I was wrong.

    When I make an effort to either park away from people or leave plenty of space and still come out to a nice deep door ding and gouge in my paint. Somehow in almost 40 years of life I've managed to never give any other car a door ding yet I see other dumbfucks doing it regularly with zero fucks given. It makes no difference if it's a 35 year old beater or a one of a kind vintage whatever the fuck...it's not mine so I'm not going to touch it. In summary, fuck people. They suck.

    The only gas grills I'll ever buy is a Weber. I haven't been impressed with any of the other brands I've used. They look nice, but don't get hot enough.

    You serious, Clark?

    Just now seeing this thread so not much help now, but I have a smaller generator if anyone ever needs it. Enough to at least keep refrigerators and lights going.

    I've been thinking about getting a quote for a Kohler at my house. We have a lot of square footage, but my gas meter and breaker are within 10 feet of each other so I'm hoping that keeps install costs down.

    X5M550 is a real model name?

    Having a hard time getting into this season. I find myself tuning out before the end of each episode.

    Favorite thread of the year! Woooo!

    I'm only 3K miles away from 80085. Glad I saw this post.

    I was driving home in Houston when the shit hit the fan. Thought a tornado was passing over the highway.

    I don't know about you, but where I come from executives are lining up to reduce their salary and benefits for the greater good. You should too.

    All your pictures of the cabinet painting bring back bad memories for me. We had a ridiculous amount of doors and drawers and that shit took me forever.

    This isn't really a new discovery, but it was new to me. A while back one of my parking sensors went bad which disabled the whole system. Just now got around to diagnosing it and found where you can activate the sensors and then record video on your phone next to each one. Good sensors will make a continuous clicking noise where bad ones do not. Allowed me to narrow it down to a single bad sensor which I was able to pop out and replace fairly easily. Everything works like new again.

    Better than no occasions.

    You do you, but smelling shit in my bathroom at all times would be enough for her to not be my girlfriend anymore.

    Well, yeah. Not ideal, but easiest solution at the time. Now I don't really give a shit so I'll just go without. I hate aftermarket wheels so the only real option is CTS-V wheels.

    I can't remember if I bitched about this on here before, but I had these 15mm Eibach wheel spacers on my SS because the stock wheels don't have great offsets. These brought them flush and I really liked the look. Fast forward to brake maintenance time and I go to remove them so I can change out the rotors. 5 of the 20 nuts holding them on seized in place and turned to butter as I tried to remove them. Hours of f-bombs and an angle grinder was needed to get them off. I guess I'm back to stock offsets because only one spacer survived. Nothing can ever be easy.

    4 year 50K mile warranty so it's long gone. Nothing broke until about 4.5 years old. As per usual.

    Nice. I'd almost bet the AC will fuck up again a few years from now. We had a check engine light for some emissions bullshit, but it was under warranty. Can't remember the exact cause. On top of the AC, our active headlights also stopped working giving an error code everytime we start the car. Both door lock actuators went out on the driver's side. There's some motor mount that is cracked. I also need to do regular maintenance to change all the brakes and battery. All of it added up is just really difficult to justify. 60K miles. Fucking absurd. That was almost a new car when I was a kid. I'd love to just go buy a 4Runner. MPG be damned. Wife will probably want a Highlander which I'm also fine with. I shy away from hybrids after a bad experience with a Lexus RX450h although I don't really know what the cause was for sure.

    I think we had talked about them before, but just wanted to chime in and say fuck Volvo. 2018 XC90 with 60K miles. Both front and rear evap cores are cracked. Bullshit by itself, but what is insane is the entire interior needs to be disassembled to replace them at a cost of $6,400. That's from an independent Volvo specialist too. I imagine the dealer is closer to $10K. That along with some other issues and the guy suggested I just dump the car and move on. Coming from a guy who loves Volvos that was surprising to hear. I guess I'll see what I can get for it and push my wife to get a Toyota this time.
