    Covered CA rates jumping

    Under the ACA, my premiums have double and my out of pocket has gone up about 35%. The only coverage that I have gained as a result of this extra pricing is dental for the children I don't have and maternity coverage for the uterus I lack. Rates haven't been released yet in Colorado, but I'm...

    It's a robust piece. Mine is currently living behind a big inch poncho that should make in the 580 ft lbs range. No issues whatsoever. It's quiet, works great in town without skipping tires across the pavement etc.

    What is it with this "Work from home" BS

    I work from home 99% of the time. I don't typically get scheduled for studio time these days, but yeah, you start to get cabin fever a bit. I have to make a habit of getting out of the house on the weekends, or I start going stir crazy.

    Why all of our pictures are ****ed up now

    It's very weird that this hasn't effected me personally. In fact, here's a photo hosted on PB and posted here. Eventually, I expect them to lock down my account as well, so I'm starting to migrate stuff. I think they are targeting users that use the most bandwidth first. I understand their...

    Finally got around to installing a chin spoiler on the bird. I've had this thing for several years, but because my car is an HO car, it has extra aero and cooling bits underneath that make putting this on, somewhat a pain. Finally got of my ass and made the modifications necessary to do the...

    More 1969 Firebird Goodness

    Haven't done an update in quite a while. Nothing major, just some small things here and there. Finally got rid of the side pipes, added a few interior touches etc. A few people had been asking for a quick exhaust video. I made this for my Instagram earlier in the week and figured I'd share...

    Lawn Mower Thread

    I have a Toro Personal Pace Recycler. I've had it for about 4 years now and it's been great. 1 pull starts, variable speed based on your walking pace, rear drive which is better if you've got hilly terrain. It bags, mulches and throws, whichever your desire. They have different models with...

    Boat vs Fun car idea

    I love boats. They're fun and not much beats a day out on the water. The problem is they tend to be pretty expensive to own, maintain and insure. Here in Colorado where the boating season is four...maybe five months long if you have a good year, that becomes a lot of money for something you...

    Car accidents on the rise...

    While some of it may be from those that are driving while high, I think that the sheer increase in traffic on infrastructure not designed for it is more likely the culprit here. At least in Colorado anyway. The unemployment rate in Weld County where I'm at is 2.6%. The unemployment rate in...

    Dumbest ****ing Idea I have seen in a long time - Women's Racing League

    That's some BS right there for sure. Although not as prevalent in other forms of racing, specific to Drag racing, there's already a good contingent of female drivers and many of them are competitive and winning races. It will only be a matter of time before you start seeing the same in open...

    Dodge trying to limit ADM on Demon

    Yup. Any time you produce a car and intentionally limit it's numbers far below demand, you can pretty much expect prices will rise, even if it's over what the manufacturer says to sell it for. If FCA was truly serious about reigning in the ADM's on these cars, they'd build as many as they do...

    Ford will import Focus from China instead

    Sure, I agree with that, but it doesn't automatically mean it's all bad stuff, or that the Focus will have quality issues that it doesn't already have being made in Mexico. Molnar is a good example. They're quality reputation is pretty good for supplying well made parts at a good price. All...

    Ford will import Focus from China instead

    As others have already pointed out, just because it's built in China won't automatically make it a pile of crap. For as much as there is crap manufacturing in China, there's also good manufacturing. Just as having the Made in USA sticker doesn't automatically make a product good. I'm...

    Could/Did you sell a long owned car?

    I've sold cars I regretted selling afterwards for sure, but it wasn't necessarily for the reason/s you are stating. I base pretty much everything off of the value I get from it. I played the keep up with the jones' game, chasing factory HP, modability etc. At least for me anyway, what I...

    Reality check needed building a 347 stroker for 94 Mustang

    It's doable, what you're after. Actually building an engine is not difficult. Building it well, takes patience, knowledge and experience and proper tools. Most people are missing those last few items. Knowledge you can get from all over the place, but you'll lack experience the first time...

    Credit Score Affects Insurance Rate?

    Is and has been the case for decades. I've seen the actuarials and it's staggering. If you have poor credit, your likelihood of filing a claim is substantially higher than somebody with even average credit. The types of claims involved change as well. People with poor credit tend to have...

    Why the heck are so many using ride-killing 20" wheels??

    If this was the case, you wouldn't see 33's, 35's what-have you on off-road vehicles. You wouldn't see large 33-35" tires on big slicks, because there are disadvantages to these types of tires. They take more power to turn because of that increase in moment of inertia. Why only increase width...

    Why the heck are so many using ride-killing 20" wheels??

    The biggest reason you see large wheels on factory cars these days is simply because they have become popular. Looks are subjective, but most people tend to like larger wheels. There are some benefits to larger wheels, just as there are negatives. The larger diameter wheel does allow for...

    Trans Am!

    It would peak my interest more if it had a traditional Indian between the frame rails. Not legal of course, but one can dream.

    My turn: 1st time home buyer and want to see what advice you guys have

    I take it he doesn't actually know if that is comfortably doable or not. It sounds like he's still living with family or parents at little or no expense. It sounds like rent in the area is around $1400.00 though. The monthly payment on a 230K house isn't going to be $1200 though. That's the...
