Rant About Whatever

WoFlowzOnce the kids I ski coach are 7 and can go join their race or freestyle programs I’m good. Idk if I could deal with them not listening and not being sweet and funny anymore.

HypeBeastDo your wife not own a car herself? They're all yours lol?

DominatorJacques'03 Forester with manual 5 speed and LSD rear. 210,000 + and still going strong with maintenance only. ( I do most of that myself)
1989 Accord Lxi. 347,000 miles, and I will race it this season. OG engine and transmission.

2005 Accord Coupe automatic. 198,000. Still strong!

Parts for the above cars are no big price tag.

I changed oil on all three today. Buy the highest quality oil filter, and oil. Take care of them, and they last.


German and some others will make you go broke!

theLiquorDepends how you look at it, were married so cars are hers too but i bought all the cars and theyre in my name and im in charge of repair, detailing and all that l. Shes in charge of house stuff i’m in charge of cars

No.QuarterI think I may go broke just trying to keep up with fixes on my Bigstupidamericantruck™, all I want is something smaller, manual, and hopefully more fuel efficient but the used market is so crazy, and the Bozeman used car market is slim pickings on top of that.
That generation of forester is near the top of my list, and a manual would be a must, however my mom is considering getting herself a new car and selling her '15 Outback to me with less than 100k on the clock for a deal, but it would be waaaay nicer than I really need, it drives pretty nice but the CVT is pretty soulless and a manual is really what I'm craving.
My first car was a 2000 Accord manual and I dearly dearly miss it, my sister drives an '07 Accord V6 automatic and it's got some decent pep. I honestly would totally buy another Accord but there are a few trailheads that I frequent the most in the summer where a FWD sedan would struggle, I really wouldn't be all that concerned with FWD winter drivability with some good snow tires. Snow tires really weren't necessary for the driving I did in my Accord in Denver and even when It was truly slick it was manageable for commuting on all seasons, and an absolute blast to rip around in an empty parking lot and do some e-brake drifting. I miss that car so fucking much, my BIL's brother (my sister's brother in law?) drives it now and last I heard the only major repairs he has needed to do to it is a new clutch, that I admittedly fried from all of my high school hooning and abuse I dished out to it.
I'm such an indecisive person that I'll honestly most likely keep driving my bigstupidtruck until it is undriveable and then likely have to deal with that logistical PITA of having to buy a car from another state to get something that I actually want.
Maybe the best answer is a Miata.

WoFlowzFound a gig soccer coaching but it’s under the table so no taxes even if it’s minimum wage. Hoping I like it. Starts today

HypeBeastKinda weird nothing in her name. Just an observation is all

WoFlowzFound out it’s 12$ per session, most days are two 1/2hr sessions and two full hour sessions. Making 48$ just for the three hrs

Deez_Mcskisdude soccer coaching is good, but reffing can make you absolute bank if you work your way up to the older kids or adults. Did a bunch of comp games last year just as one of the AR's on the sidelines and still made like $50 a game.

WoFlowzThinking about doing that too. Seems easy enough and it pays like 20-30$ a game for house crap around here.

TOAST.Both of our cars are in my wife's name because she bought the first before we got married and then I was busy when we had the opportunity to buy a car off my aunt for a good price.

HypeBeastKinda weird nothing in her name. Just an observation is all

theLiquorit’s exactly that, first 2 cars I bought before we were married, she bought a WRX in her name but then I picked up a BMW in Chicago without her then bought another one in Florida that just arrived on a truck one day (didnt tell her, she was pissed but loves it now). Sold WRX. But she’s on the insurance thats all that matters. And like i said i’m in charge of everything cars buying/selling, maintenance registration everything so multiple people on title only complicates things

i’m not on the mortgage on our new house either. It’s not that we don’t each have legal claim over them but just what was most convenient at time of purchase.

theLiquorNow that my wife is done breastfeeding/pumping on her way to work she no longer needs the truck so much so she’s driving my nice cars again. Except i keep telling her to stop parking in the doctors lot and walk 50’ further but she cant be bothered and me being the ones who cleans the cars, i see all the dings. Its infuriating, so many doctors give zero fucks im sure to them its just “woops, oh well your fault shouldnt buy nice cars anyways they’re a bad investment”. Last weekend i had the truck parked almost 4’ away from my car in the driveway and my wife STILL managed to throw open the truck door on my car because she was “discombobulated” about work. I get it, but all the cars in the doctor lot are only 2’ apart so very easy for stressed out doctors to throw open their door on your car.

wife bought a high-maintenance wooden patio furniture set that we constantly have to keep covered (recovered everytime theres the weekly windstorm), oiled… i spend so much time keeping her patio set taken care of but she cant be bothered to walk 50’ further at work to protect my cars. Upsetting.

HypeBeastDays like these remind me how dumb the average person is. Holy fuck. So needed a log in for a site and the "forgot password" button wasn't working so contacted live chat to see if they could send the reset link. Info I provided to open the live chat was my email and name which is very much publicly accessible, and she gave me the fucking password without any vetting. Jesus. Also very concerned zendesk can see passwords- should be hidden without special access. Like good God you're at a help desk for a major company and don't understand account security 101.

HypeBeastOmg 😵😵😵😵 zendesk sent an automated reply to my email because I rated the conversation as bad. They included a transcript in the email which contains the security information she gave out. Oh my God.

Young_pattyI made $12 an hour last summer smoking weed and running a boat dock at a city run park. Worked weed days when hardly anyone was there and had tons of time to skate and hangout with friends, still got like 20-40 hours a week.

not all about pay sometimes, just sayin.
reading a book outside in the shade for hours at a time was a nice way to make money.

BrandoComandoWhen we first got internet when I was a kid, my parents stressed, "don't believe everything you read on the internet" and "be careful what you share online. Protect your privacy." These days, I'm constantly telling the same to them.

It blows my mind how careless people are with their security. I guarantee that lady uses the same email and password for all of her accounts too. She has no idea how big of a risk that is.

theabortionatorWell that was pretty awesome and wrord. Right after i posted that a friend who i haven't talked to in probably a yeat almost random video chatted me. Was cool to catch up for an hour or so. Still feeling pretty anxious but felt really relaxed for that time. Was a nice break.

Hopefully i can play some music and zen out a bit. Brains are weird.

twinkle_toesI love messing with guys on Tinder

Was roasting this one guy for buying a Dodge 1500 with a short bed, and joked that he’s gonna use it to haul his lunch bag around
Buddy got sooooooo mad hahahahahaha
Went straight into defence mode
Very entertaining but it’s even more entertaining when they don’t get butthurt and actually roast back

SavageBiffThat’s funny, really like your style of humor, there’s certain people you just know are gonna be fun to mess with, truck guys, construction workers, Anyone in trades basically, I’d say my go to truck insult is “Tonka toy”, short beds really get to me tho, they’re fine with me and all as long as at time of purchase/build there’s a long bed option

armchair_skierfull cab trucks w short beds will always look funny to me

CatdickBojangles6 foot beds look better on full cab trucks than 8 foot beds.

ski_salmon698 foot beds > 6 foot beds > subaru baja

BrandoComandosubaru baja > 8 foot beds > 6 foot beds

fixed it for ya

SavageBiffMaybe on a small truck like a Tacoma but not full size, is my opinion at least, but there’s those 4’ and 5’ beds 🤮, the 6’ does look aight but I still need that extra 2’ to haul etc, especially if it’s gonna be a ski rig and I’m gonna sleep in it
Biggest complaint I hear is when someone wants a smaller truck like a Tacoma or Colorado, back seats and an 8’ bed…. Should at least be an option, like RN I’d rather a Tacoma with camper blah blah to replace my compass than a full size suv, but I need an 8’ bed and I’m not traveling cross country in a Silverado too much gas and as far as EV trucks, yah I would, but I’m worried no charging points and I get stuck…..
Nothings better than the guy at lowes trying to load 12’ or greater lumber in one of those six foot beds, I always stop, watch, poke fun

WhacksonMy brain constantly runs on worst-case scenarios and I'm so sick of it. My day can be going completely fine but ill have this feeling of worry and stress while I contemplate all my life choices. It makes me not say things I want to say or even makes my brain lag almost? (Like thinking about my day later on full of regrets). Living on constant regrets of the past when i know nothing can be changed and I just need to build a future with no regrets makes me hold back when I shouldnt? I dont know i kinda blame my shitty past friend group that shit on anything ive ever expressed (6th-10th grade), but Im well aware this is more of an internal issue.

Abomber22No such thing as* no regrets* ....from the OG, everyone has regrets. They may say contrary, but somewhere, they would have done"it* differently.
One is rarely 100% certain, all the time.

So you just do the best one can with what they have at the time. Junior in highschool, you've got time to reel it back in. GL.

My work truck is an 8 foot bed. Personal is a 6 1/4. Much prefer the 6 1/4.

SavageBiffI agree looking at em side by side like that

We have the same truck mines a 2021 dump tho

CatdickBojanglesPlus the 8 foot bed makes the already terrible turning radius even worse.

SavageBiffVery good point, miss the radius of my 17’ f350. This is my first ram, it’s 2nd year, we will see how it continues

CatdickBojanglesSolid axles are superior for durability but IFS is way better for handling.

Jemssolid axles are about to be a thing of the past

honestly not sure why manufacturers haven’t stuck full independent suspension their on half ton trucks

SavageBiffSolid axles will never never be a thing of the past, completely necessary if you wanna haul weight on a regular basis.

you don’t understand bc you probably only haul groceries and bulk orders of ass tampons

ski_salmon69I swear every time there’s a bike race I wanna do my family just happens to have something going on that weekend. Either I don’t get to go at all or end up just going on race day and missing practice day and racing blind and dying.

Jemssolid axles on “passenger” vehicles will, which is basically every 1500 truck at this point. GM is ditching them and so will ford in the future. How many people do you see towing significant weight with a half ton?
