  1. I'd look for a low mileage 18. Those area usually 3 year lease turn-ins and CPO. Honda, Toyota would be better than a Nissan. Nissan's as a rule have really shitty gas mileage. As to no fault, about all that matters is in the deductible. You may eventually get the other driver to pay for that, beyond there, it's all about whatever coverage is on your vehicle. If there is medical related to the accident, your insurance will cover it, not the other guy. If you are not at fault, any of the out of pocket expenses can be recovered from the at-fault driver. If this was a snow-storm related accident, and not an obvious thing, chances of recovering it go down a lot. Always run a dash cam. If you're at fault, eat the chip
  2. Exactly JCPG, forever in our hearts. LAST VISITED October 16, 2019 Here's the Text from August of 2012 in case anyone is curious as to the Origins of "Just throw it over the wall when you malf"
  3. I'm not sure I'm reading his statement the same way. "No need to justify" strikes me as "It's a given that the wood burner is justified and you don't have to justify it" Either way, since living here in Highland Lakes for the past 25 years, we've always had it. In fact, before our 2012 addition it was our primary source of heat. Light bulbs and an electric heater in the bedroom was the only other option. 6+ coords annually before, now about 3. Now we just use it to make the house hot and keep the propane bill down. Soon moving to FL though full time. No more wood.
  4. I'll probably end up with one of those Honda EU2000 units to run the fridge. Power is all buried there, outages, even during hurricanes, only happen when the regional shuts down to protect equipment. Even during the mess of 2004 with those 3 canes that went right over central Florida, The Villages was only out of power a short time.
  5. A standby generator is all that. I used to also have a 4k portable but gave it to my FIL. At some point it's just extra. Even if the standby failed, the fireplace insert can be run off a 12v battery and an inverter. That was my first level before I had any generators. Of course, I'm moving to Florida where it's 32 in the morning on the coldest day of the year and 55 by noon. Hardly life threatening.
  6. Not surprised at all. Heck, to do my part to alleviate the shortage, I parted with several thousands of rounds of center fire pistol ammo, several thousands of rounds of rimfire and a spam can of 7.62x54r. I should probably sell some more. That said, I wish I had bought more when it was available. I now only have maybe 10 years worth of ammo at normal usage. I wish I had several lifetimes worth.
  7. The only thing I'll add to this is that they now have DSL modems that have multiple channels so they can double, triple, quadruple whatever your range limited speed is. I was capped at 15mbits due to distance until they added a duplexing DSL modem. It supports up to 4 channels, but I'm only paying for 2 and I get 30mbits now. If I were closer, it'd be up to 60mbits for 2 channels or 120mbits for 4 channels.
  8. 99% of cannabis stocks are dog shit. Wait, let me rethink that. Dog shit at least sticks with you, cannabis stocks will eventually just make your money disappear.
  9. So a friend of my sister is tapped into a group of venture capital companies and she was discussing their current problem. She said that all together, there is around 3 trillion in "dry money" out there. Some call it dry powder, but it's the same thing. A vast reservoir of money waiting to be pumped into something. Right now they are pumping it into capital markets and stocks like the FAANGs. Of course this makes the problem even worse. All this extra money is FED liquidity and when more dollars chase the same thing...you get inflation, so we have inflation.
  10. He did also mention something about loose cam timing but it's probably the throttle body. Something in the valve train gets out of spec, but it's probably not that. I don't recall exactly what it is. I've never done much work on the variable cam timing engines, so I don't have a thorough grasp on how it all ties together. Pretty much everything else should be throwing codes. If you wanted to bribe him with some primers(he's a gun guy too), he'd probably diagnose it for you :).
  11. So I finally was able to talk to my buddy. He says it's 99% the throttle body. Take it out and clean it. Says it has water through it, so you have to flop it on one side then the other to clean. Not sure what that means, I've never taken one out. There's also a "ring" that forms on those(or maybe it's a spacer ring???). Again, not sure what he's talking about, but clean that. heh. Also commented that he's never liked the throttle response on those years. quote "The throttle response on the EJ253 is shit" heh. This is a guy who also ran a 700HP Mustang for years, he knows what a proper throttle response should be
  12. Ah, if it's in open loop, your MAF, O2s, all the rest are being ignored. Bad 02s will keep it in open loop, specially if one is grounding out, shorting or missing as far as the ECM is concerned. Check all the connectors on the 02s underneath. You might have a crusty one. Also, pop open the fuse box and lift the base of the fuse box up. There's 6 clips that hold it in. You might find a corroded wire under there. It's a very common problem on these era Subarus.
  13. Is it running open loop? It'll run fine WOT in open loop and fall on it's face otherwise. Is it running in an Econ mode? Maybe it's stuck in that mode. My neighbor is a Subaru Master technician, if I see him tomorrow, I'll run it past him.
  14. Was 75 when we took off from Orlando today. I spent 3 hours clearing snow when I got home. I'm almost done though! Fleeing south in a few months.
  15. Yesterday I put new tires and wheels on my ride. Solid 2 inches of lift. I'm sure it won't even notice the snow. Looking at the maps this morning, my house is sitting under a 42.8. Lol. I'll come back to 3 feet of frozen block.
  16. I love a good snow storm. Have fun with it though, I've got a week long change in latitude starting tomorrow am.
  17. My Vanguard Mega Cap growth ETF was up 2.58% on the day. $5.20 a share up. I wish I had 10k shares, but at $207.130 a share, I'm somewhat constrained :). The S&P Value ETF was only up .38% which is a bit of a bummer, but it's a little less risky. Still, if I sold what I earned today, I could get at least 20 boxes of 9mm from Cheaper than Dirt . That was just my Vanguard account of mad money. My actual 401k though probably earned a ton but it won't calculate and update until tomorrow.
  18. Just need to head for the exit before the party is over. I just wish I had some idea of what a good key indicator would be. I suppose when I start hearing about new regulations on every industry, it may be time.
  19. There's always the Lucille option or her cousin, Louisville a.k.a. the slugger. Several ways to use it beyond Mark Mcquire. There's the Arnold Palmer to the jewels and of course the forward jab to the solar plexus.
  20. ARs are great, no doubt. Now go back in time and buy 5k rounds. The only thing I would say is that at least with a .22LR you can get more trigger time in. Yes, ammo is insanely priced right now, but at least you get more trigger pulls for your dollar. As for home defense, any firearm is better than no firearm. I know I don't want to take a .22LR round. Not to mention, you get yourself a Ruger 10/22 you can accessorize it to your hearts content.
  21. You're not serious? The issue isn't NJ. The issue is everywhere. Yes, you can ship it to NJ. No, it's not widely available, not now and likely not for a long time.
  22. Lefty mayors and governors are signaling that they plan to lift all the lockdowns. It'll be the Biden miracle.
  23. Just for what it's worth, you should publish the current IP of home page in case they shut down the DNS entry. While I see that 173.249.158.15 is the current IP, there's clearly some redirecting going on after DNS resolves it since I can't get here on the IP alone.
  24. I've ordered a lot of ammo online. It shows up in my door with an ORM-D or the new black and white diamond thing that means it's regulated. Most of the retailers rebox it but any delivery guy is going to know what it is. I see no reason why a building receptionist can't hold your package.
  25. It all goes toward maturity level. I had a 12 second streetable car at 20, which was something in the 80s. It also goes to the car. Is it a 6 popper with poverty caps or a ZL1? It matters, a lot. One will get you in trouble, the other will get you dead.
