    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I am turning into Sean with car shopping...what sporty car to replace the Miata with? - 4 seats, otherwise I'm keeping the Miata or getting a C5 - decent power, should do 0-60 in under 6 seconds - under 3 liters displacement - decent handling / not a road barge - if it's small-ish it might even replace the econobox I'm hooning around town, so going down from 3 to 2 cars. So far the previous gen Type R, Mustang S550 (ecoboost) and M135i are real contenders. I'd love a K24 or LS swapped RX8 but not sure how I can legally swing a K24 swap, let alone an LS swap. K24 RX8 would tick all boxes, including high wife acceptance factor.

    Who'da thought that requiring an account for each forum would weed out so many idiots. I might add whatsapp groups in the same pot as facebook groups.

    And one month after I decide not to leave the country, poop hits the fan hours away from where I live. Fuck you Vladimir!

    With the gas prices and snow season is getting close, I need to get my econobox insured and inspected. I kinda miss driving it. The shifter is approximate, front and rear overhang is almost inexistant and I can drive it like a rental.

    I really like the 2019 Toyota LED units I put into my stock headlights:

    I have a very very difficult time not buying a Mazdaspeed 6. It's less than what I sold the Miata for, has downpipe and tune, looks really nicely maintained and needs the transfer case replaced. To make it harder to refrain from buying, it's 20 miles from an airport to which I have a direct flight.

    It was a different hiring round and I decided not to continue then.

    Average rent here is 4x lower than in Vancouver, and where I live rent is the highest in the country. Average pay for my position is 6x lower compared to Vancouver. Let's say I want a new Wrangler, I'd pay here as much as in Canada/US. Or even more. So ignoring the real-estate, consumer goods are really closely priced.

    It's just an invitation to the interview, would be the second one, I already had a first interview with them in 2018. On one side, I can't complain about life here, in-laws are close, we're getting ready to build the house, the city and country is safe, I can spend time with the kid and wife instead of slaving away on a job. On the other side, the pay has way more potential than here, there are other opportunities for all 3 of us on the other side of the pond (jobs, education, travel, hobbies). I think the biggest factor would be distance from the in-laws.

    Now, after the papework is done for the house and we have everything lined up to start building next spring, Amazon emails me for a job in either Toronto or Vancouver.... Such a tough decision...

    Bonkers! I'm past 60k miles on the first set of rotors on my DIY big brake kit and they are now slightly warped.

    This is my rebuild topic: https://sprinter-source.com/forums/index.php?threads/45933/ Lots of pics, even more yapping. I've since took that Jeep off the road and this new one obviously has one worn clutch pack as it makes a bit more heat than it should. And I'm unsure whether to rebuild the new trans (less miles) or swap in the old rebuilt one. The old one has the original bearings though, so more miles on them.

    I fixed my Mercedes 5-speed auto. Only clutches and brakes, no bands, it was easy-peasy.

    Of course. Downstairs we only have the garage, kitchen and living room. The architect said he had to move the furnace room upstairs to avoid having huge bedrooms

    About as much clearance as I have in front and ack of the Jeep in one of the garages. Just put a wheel chock where the rearmost wheels should stop and done.
