TMoney Posted January 16, 2019 Report Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) I think I hit something in a puddle. Changing a tire in the rain is not fun. One of the 5 lugs securing the wheel snapped off when I was removing the flat so had to drop her at the mechanic for them to fix. Oh well. Shit happens. Edited January 16, 2019 by TMoney 5
n_maher Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 ^^ Bummer. I had a partially stripped nut on one of the BMW's wheels that almost left me a bad spot when I was changing over the snow setup. I've since inspected all of the nuts to make sure they're in good order but ugh, if that happened on the side of the road I imagine my reaction would be not good. 1 1
EdipisReks1 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 I came very close to trading in the Tiguan. Look at that color!
sbelyo Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Got a pair of Hifiman he560 Excellent headphones. I had one slight problem with them as the highs are a little forward or bright (hopefully they settle down). You'll definitely need an amp though. Edited January 17, 2019 by sbelyo

jose Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 Do not like SUV? I would not change my wife's X5 for anything ... well, for my ML 1
Torpedo Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 Nope. They're the example of everything that is wrong with this society. 1 1

EdipisReks1 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Posted January 17, 2019 I actually like my Tiguan a lot, but I miss the GTI. Same motor in the Tiguan as what my Mk VI had, though.
mikeymad Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 yeah we have better light here in the garden area. working out what to start planting next month. 1 1
ironbut Posted January 23, 2019 Report Posted January 23, 2019 Wow Mikey! A great example of something we've evolved the taste clean out of. 1

SeaWolf Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 Well I killed my dirt bike this morning so out goes the UTV. Been a lot rain in the mountains on my side of the valley. I'll pull the power washer out after hitting the trails again tomorrow. Was really wishing I spent the few dollars to refill my tear-offs. 7 1
Dusty Chalk Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 The first thing I noticed was the lack of a human shaped outline in the passenger seat, so I was about to start yelling, "WHAT DID YOU DO WITH..." and then it dawned on me...
SeaWolf Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 The wife was too sick to come out today. She was totally passed out on the couch when I went out. Probably for the best, she doesn't really appreciate mudding. 1
SeaWolf Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 I did manage to get the dirt bike going again. The temperature this week has been just ideal for the bike. 6
recstar24 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 We have record breaking cold today! It's like a high of -20 lol - they cancelled my school and kids school today and TOMORROW preemptively with an announcement Tuesday afternoon - the last time we had cold like this was 5 years ago and not even then did they cancel two days of school ahead of time. Woke up today with the furnace working but blowing no heat had to restart pilot light, turn off and restart furnace, but was getting an error code that the intake/outtake pipes outside may be clogged. Fuck - bundled up and told the kids if I don;t get back inside within 10 minutes to send for help. intake into the furnace from outside was clogged with snow, so unclogged it and we are back in action. House has warmed up to 58 from the 50 it was this morning lol. Have the fireplace going and starting up the oven for lunch. 3 1
Aimless1 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 Condolences from my ice box to yours. Our temp this am was -2F. We have warmed to 0F. Current windchill -28F. Glad it was just a clogged intake. Easy fix :). 2
