  1. Seriously, go drive something with that transmission. Drive an S4 w/DCT (which is almost universally considered better than the manual in that car) and SQ5 w/the 8HP and objectively tell me that the DCT iteration is a better drive train than the 8HP. I don't think anyone could. Those are the closest cars I've driven that have a 'manual' like transmission and the 8HP. It would be really interesting to check out some Challenger with a manual versus the 8HP. Are there any other cars out there that have both w/the same engine in the same chassis? Maybe some BMW?
  2. FWIW, which might not be much, the ZF 8HP (8AT in those cars) is a really, really good (automatic) transmission. At least with the Hellcats you can get the Challenger in a manual, but not the Charger. There is no Charger manual in any form, the body was nto designed for it.
  3. Maybe I'm reading the graph wrong, or it's made incorrectly. Shouldn't it be buy at 2 years and sell at 4-5?
  4. I don't know what 'butch' means other than a penis extending 1 ton truck with 40" tires on it? I'm sure it doesn't fit that criteria, but for what it sounds like he's going to actually do, the Rigdeline is probably perfect. I'm not sure how much a trailer plus 2 ATVs are, but I can't imagine it's anywhere near 4.5k#s. The only sticking part might be the image that you can't fit 3 car seats into the back of a 4 door truck. Which is 100% not true, especially if it's an uoften occurance, but suddenly when people have 3 kids they need an MBZ Sprinter. But this is going to be a 'problem' with anything that's not an SUV with a true third row. Honestly, maybe I'm not really sure what he's going to do with it because I think your distaste for this guy and his truck preference are bleeding through into this post too much rather than an understanding what they actually want/need.
  5. I don't think all of them do? When I had things done a while ago, with Carquest it was the one off of 71 on the north side of Columbus, and the NAPA, I think, was down on the South side. I think these were the only ones that had Machine shops at that time. If so, it won't help you with finding something in the NW part of town.
  6. How many people would be raging about him needing to be suspended if he had punched and hurt the producer and not be suspended? Anon's cry's for equality and freedom are going to start falling on deaf ears if they start worrying about things like suspended TV show personalities. I can personally get behind a lot of their causes and their methods, but this seems a little... beneath them?

    I think I figured out why I love to hate this thing so much. If this makes it to market when the Aptera didn't, I will have lost all faith in humanity.
  8. I'm sure they did. For a show this large, how would you not have contingency plans out the wazoo in general, especially for likely scenarios?
  9. You don't have kids right? Didn't get any BS about not having and not every wanting kids?
  10. Gerg linked this in the CB a few weeks ago and from looking at their website, they seemed like a bunch of DBs. I'm not going to tip my Sherpa more than my groupon cost for 5 minutes of their time because you can't pay them.
  11. To the OP, congrats on the 2nd one on the way! Where/Who? I'm coming up on needing to do that.
  12. Good thing they got into a fracas and not a Farkas, someone might have actually been hurt.
  13. Cool, just curious. If you feel like you can do the drywall to your liking, great!
  14. As far as skill required, IMHO. Framing<Elec<Drywall Have you done drywall before? It's relatively hard to get a good finish.
  15. Yeah, framing is the easiest part of that job.
  16. Did you ever drive a DCT car? Just curious since you chose a manual. I've driven a DCT based new S4, but not a manual.
  17. How big (fat) are these adults that won't fit in the back of a new A4 sized car? New ones are much bigger than my old B5 and it fit 4 people just fine. Sure, if you want a bigger car, that's fine. Will it be 'more comfortable' sure. But to say adults can't fit in the back of something the size of an a4 just fine is at best a stretch of the truth.
  18. This. I felt, probably was, nearly blind before. I had to wear some corrective lenses all of the time. Just to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, had to put glasses on. Wearing contacts during any physical activity was awful. Skiing with contacts, hiking and having to take contacts in and out is at the very least cumbersome. It's so nice to not have to do that any more. I think it's been about 10 years now. I just got a basic vision check for a physical about a month ago. 20/20-30 (maybe 25), which is no different from shortly after I got it. My mom did get it about the same time, and due to age she does now need some basic prescription, especially for reading. Much less than before and I imagine if she had perfect vision earlier in life, she would probably need a similar correction now.
  19. One of the Farkas boys made a car too low, big surprise! :lolguy: Car's looking great, again, can't wait to see it in the spring.
  20. I don't think it will matter because almost no one will track the GT at that price and those production numbers. Probably the only place production level cars ever be tracked is in magazines, vlogs, TV shows (almost all on loan from Ford), during production. Maybe a few people will buy them to do 1/2mi or 1mi racing with, maybe a few people will actually race them. A vast majority of these that we will see on the track will be during factory backed racing at high levels. Most of these will be bought by the ultra rich and they may drive them a few times a year to sit in front of an overpriced steak house and have them mostly sit as an 'investment'. https://www.google.com/webhp?#q=ultra+rich+investing+in+cars
  21. Definitely worth another $245k. :lolguy:
  22. I mean, it's not like it's that different when you put your money in a 'real' bank, they only give you 0.1%. It is a bit of a rip off compared to other 'online only' banks or savings accounts.
  23. It sounds like you need more than some miracle software based savings account. If you're not saving and spending all of your money, this software is probably going to decide you have $0 to save. If you want to save and feel like you can't right now, you have to sit down and make a budget and a plan to go from where you are now to where you want to be.
  24. Did anyone mention the idea of shooting it or blowing it up?
