    Hey that's on Corcoran! I see that spot every day and I never thought to get a picture there, it amazes me how you can take a spot like that and end up with something so awesome to look at. 

    Someday I'd like to learn how to take decent pictures, but for now I'll just torture you all with out of focus and badly framed shots of random car stuff taken with a potato. 

    You can also do a lot of cool stuff with light painting during an extended exposure. Check out approximately 3,297,321 videos on Youtube all about it.

    If you want me to print this, I could do it (without the light blue).

    It'd also be the most layered vinyl printed shirt I've ever done. Price from me would be $25 shipped on a heather gray Gildan tee. That doesn't include a cut to Mr Bassboy.

    I'm happy to make it happen if you guys (and Bassboy) are down!

    Why no light blue? Too infringement-like?

    Anyone put summer wheels+tires on yet? Will I be the first? Or will I be to early.

    I'll be changing mine tomorrow... at least on one of my cars. Wife's going to need new tires on her RAV4,  I just don't want to part with the $$.

    I've owned a few cars with rebuilt titles.  Usually banks will finance 50% of the value, I mean of a non-rebuilt version.  They insure exactly the same way, however I'm not sure how the payout would work as I've never re-totaled a rebuilt car.  I do know the rates and such are the same though.

    Pretty much it's un-eventful other than a sucky resale.  But it allows you to get into a car much nicer than you typically could afford.  This assumes the rebuild was done well.  The best examples are stolen cars.  If your car gets stolen and the ins pays out, when it's found it's instantly marked totaled (unless you want it) and it goes to ins auction.  Someone buys it, literally does nothing to the car, gets it inspected and it magically has a rebuilt title.  A perfect car with a shitty title.

     

    So pretty much what he's saying is have someone steal a car that you want, then wait for it to be listed for sale.

    What sources have you been checking? Craigslist, eBay, autotrader?

  5. So I installed some LED fog lights, which work great - there's no problem with their functionality. However, when I start my car, it gives me a warning as if one of my bulbs is burned out. The warning goes away after about 10 seconds or so, but then the little triangle with ! in it stays on, and if I look in "Check Controls", it has that light symbol. So Question is how do I get rid of that false error? When I look at the voltage check setting visible in the Carley app I have, it is turned off...

    This weekend on WI SIENNAS:

    I am replacing a rear wheel bearing on a relatives AWD Sienna.

    A pre-assembled hub ranges from $79 online to $360 at the dealer.

    Dealer cost to do the job is $840

    Joe Schmoe mechanic was in the range of $500, likely using a bearing that was made from pot metal in an alleyway near a noodle shop in Taipei

    Best price locally for a high quality hub assembly that I can get my hands on today is $295.67 after tax. It needs to be completed pretty urgently hence not saving $100 by getting a high quality part from online.

     

    Here is to hoping that there are no seized fasteners and I can get this done by lunchtime on Saturday.

     

    Watch for mushroom clouds in the New Berlin area otherwise

     

    Well, did you git 'er done? It's 2:42, well after lunch.... 

     

    I haven't heard any fallout predictions in New Berlin...
