  1. I thought the episode disappointed a bit. When they hinted about it on social media I was excited to see the result. But I was kinda meh watching the result. Maybe it was because they half ass the finish/results and we never really knew how much of a difference it made. Could have been a lot better.
  2. Same. Need to know if they will play nice with AWD

     

    Pos Vett got what he needed on his. He picked some up today. Let me know what you need to know. Everything I have is square so awd doesn't matter.

     

    I am looking for some 17 to 18 for a 2002 e46.

     

    The e90 package would fit... The wheels will sit out a little further and they have runflats on then. I dont think Ill have anything specific for e46 though.

  3. Tell me more about the "2 more sets of wheels and tires with semi-ok Dunlop snow tires". Don't be stingy with detailed specs, I need offset also.

     

    They are both E65 7 series based sets. Both with this ugly factory wheel, double spoke 93's I think. 8x18 et24. Id have to get you tire specs monday but I "think" they are dunlop m3's with probably 7/32nds? Make offer...

  4. We have quite a few sets of used/preowned winter wheel and tires sets for random vehicles. These are older sets that typically have older DOTS.

     

    Ill link the CL adds here. If you have more questions/concerns Ill help the best I can. We will have a few more to add in the coming weeks as well.

     

    7 series. e65-e66. 2002-2008 CR$ 200

  5. I put one of these Android units in my Subi.

    Works pretty well.

     

    Now I don't talk through the Bluetooth so I can't comment on that. It has a built in mic and comes with an external mic. Most guys say it works ok.

     

    It boots pretty fast, screen looks good, radio reception isn't that great, but I usually hotspot my cellphone and run internet radio.

     

    The only downside I ran into is it wont allow just any Bluetooth hardware to pair to it. Torque App supposedly works but I hardwired mine through a usb port. But I have a Bluetooth flexfuel dongle and it wont work correctly.

  6. I bought my diamond and band separate. A friend who used to wholesale diamonds gave me some tips on what to buy. He recommended always buying round and to buy colorless (D).

     

    So I went to Bluenile and bought the best one I could for the money I had to spend. I then just went to fred meyer and bought a relatively inexpensive setting for it. I figure she can always get a better setting later if she wants. Its far and above a better diamond/ring than a typical store bought diamond.

     

    A close friend got engaged at the same time and the first thing she said when I showed her the ring I bought was "why doesn't my diamond sparkle like that one" And it was about .7k compared to the .5k I bought.

     

    We just had it valued for insurance and its worth about $2k more now than I had it in when I bought it 2 years ago.

     

    my $.02

  7. We just bumped ours from 8gb to 16gb for pretty minimal money last month, as we were running over. We are on the XL plan. Though I checked it yesterday and it says we had 23.58gb at the start of this cycle.
  8. I was told by an independent plumber to stay away from heat pump water heaters. He said that he had a few customers with them and they are always breaking down. So, I don't know.

     

    I have well water and a water softener. Because of that, the anode rod causes the water to smell like sulfur. I have 2 options, buy one without the rod, or buy one with and then remove the rod. If I remove the rod, it will void the warranty of the heater, so I'd rather buy one without.

     

    Its definitely more complicated for sure. There are different brands though, the GE seems to get reviewed very well. There were earlier models that didn't rate so well. Maybe he's serviced earlier gen, crappier brands? Who know's.

     

    I have well water and a softener as well. I replaced my anode rod with a generic aluminum one which helps. But then about every 6-8 weeks I dump a bottle of peroxide in my whole house filter and run it through and let it sit for an hour or so.

     

    I did read the tankless ones can become problematic on well water homes unless they are cleaned on a regular basis. I just couldn't justify the upfront cost along with not having the panel space for it to begin with.

  9. Consider a heat pump wh?

     

    I bought a GE Heat Pump Electric 50 gallon a year ago from Lowes and its been great. It replacde a huge 100 gallon leased tank that was in the house when we moved in. If you have AEP they have a $500 rebate on them. Then you can use a 10% off coupon from Lowes to buy a 10 year warranty with it. That makes it not that much more expensive than a regular electric. It does have an anode rod though. I thought most wh's do though? Does it not keep the tank of rotting out?

  10. Had J. Gilbert a couple weeks ago for the first time. I thought it was good. We had combos of salads, crab & steak and a full dessert for like $50ish. The steak was just a 6oz fillet but it was good. The desserts were great. I had 2 good cocktails. I thought we got a lot for the money.

     

    The last steak I got at J Alexanders was disappointing. The service was very mediocre as well.

     

    The Top is probably my favorite. But I haven't had Merlots.

  11. I may have to get a Stubby Bob T-shirt (or that Nascarlo one).

     

    I was doing it to the wife last night and made her call me "Stubby Bob". That's when things got REALLY weird. :fa::fa:

     

    I have both.. both great episodes. The Nascarlo one is a better looking T but Stubby bob is awesome.
