OOTL - What happened to Cheez?

Man going through that thread is a trip. I want to feel like he’s in for the long troll but the reality is that his story is more depressing than funny. At this point you can only hope that it’s a troll story because the alternative is that he really, really needs help.

OOTL - What happened to Cheez?

Apologies upfront if this is not allowed... What happened to Cheez? I haven't been on this forum in about 6 years or so but a topic on a website got me thinking about Cheez and his $10k audio cables and all those old discussions with audiotruth. I come back and he's living in a shed in the...

Worth to upgrade at this point?

I've been inactive for the last two years due to changes in my job and I've finally got back into gaming/PCs, and wow, doesn't seem like too much has changed since I bought my 7950 back in 2/2013! I just bought a QNIX QX2710 1440p monitor, been playing BF4. The monitor OCs to 90 Hz now, it...

Rear wheel doesn't spin freely

Summary: Rotor/hub/caliper assembly spins fine, but when you put on the wheel and lug it down, it won't spin at all. Replaced rear brakes for a 2004 camry. Just decided to change out pads/rotors. Rotors were stuck on, had to use the little bolt holes to thread in bolts and push out the...

Anyone know the best place to buy some Beats Studio (new version) in white?

Meh, who cares what a kid wants to wear? The beats aren't audiophile class but for the music that a teenager is going to listen to anyway, it works pretty well. If you ever actually get a chance to listen to them, they aren't bad headphones. Just not worth the price, like every other...

Don't put film / tint on your front windshield.

If the Crystalline has far better heat rejection, why didn't they direct you to that one since that was your primary concern? You should raise hell.

Don't put film / tint on your front windshield.

What's with all the tint debates? This is not really a tint but a relatively clear film for reducing heat. It's more like a screen protector than a tint. I would go back to the installer immediately and have them either reapply it or remove it and refund if you can't remove the grain...

Why don't we all drive diesel cars? Or at most diesel/electric hybrids?

All politics aside, I don't think solar energy can have that much of an effect. I think the average number thrown around is 1000W for every square meter for direct sunlight (just pure energy). Even with no conversion losses, assume your car has about 8 square meters of surface area. At 8kW...

My wife and I are buying a car for my mom this weekend....

Check out the Maxima or G35 sedans. Generally low resale value but with nice amenities.

broken valve cover bolt

Can you get at it from the other side? On my Miata it goes through the valve cover and through the flange on the other side. Also, buy a 1/4" torque wrench from harbor frieght for $10. It'll save your ass when putting it back on.

Money laundering problem

Those are euros. They're plastic notes. Plastic doesn't like heat.

"Removal of nuclear fuel begins at Fukushima" and by 2053 all units decommissioned!!

I think the amount of tabloid-esque pictures in this thread is about to hit critical mass.

2015 WRX Teased

No hatch version at least for MY2015. Fuel economy increases slightly with 6MT.

Do not drive through New Mexico :O

Because it's not disobeying orders, it's assault. If they're daring enough to attack a cop for a traffic stop, they may be daring enough to kill him and/or anyone else. The moment you threaten someone is the moment you step across the line and it is now in their right to escalate. Same reason...
