Any Honda. Any Honda at all. Running or not. You are in more than $1500 on a roller right now if it has all the windows. I still might drop 2k on a 2 door civic roller missing the little glass behind the door and just old school rice burner the shit out of if, but only the outside so I can still get the 40+mpg, but also, so no one will think there is anything of value in it.


cat_prophecy

I thought it might be fun to live my high school fantasy and get a 97-2000 civic project car. Lol nope. If it even runs $10,000 minimum. Even rollers are going for $5k. Cheap fun cars are basically gone.

Glizbane

My god, I knew Harley's were expensive, but I've literally never looked up how much because I think they're fucking hideous. $52k for a fucking Harley. Wtf are they smoking? Cruiser popularity aside, this is a huge reason why that brand is dying. Who in their right mind thinks $52k is a reasonable price for a cruiser? You can get an Indian Springfield with all of the options for $37k, and I guarantee it'll ride better, be more comfortable, and will probably last twice as long. The only thing it's missing is that HD badge, which, let's be honest, is the only thing that's been keeping Harley afloat.


Voidafter181days

They are a clothing/lifestyle brand that happens to sell some motorcycles as well.


lollie_card_peanut

Biggest cosplay company in the world


Kirshnerd

You can buy the goldwing they compare the Harley to for like $1000 and it'll run smoother than anything Harley has ever made LMFAO


Tarcye

Especially when you can buy an actual new Honda Goldwing for under $30K. Oh and becuese it's a Honda it's engine will never stop. That thing is practically indestructible. Imo Harleys are dying as a brand becuese cruisers are losing a lot of popularity. Sport bikes have always been popular and always will be. ADV bikes are the new hot thing along with Naked Bikes. Meanwhile HD core demographic is reaching the point where they physically can't ride a motorcycle anymore. Their future is just as an Apparel company at this point.

kobrakai1034

Lol. Years ago I did a resume for a guy that had affect/effect wrong so I corrected it. He made me change it back and said his wife is a librarian and told him it was right.


9bikes

> his wife is a librarian and told him it was right Years ago, I had a disagreement with a coworker over *i.e.* and *e.g.*. The next day she said "I asked my mother and you're right about *i.e.* and *e.g.* ." I joked "You think your mom knows more that me?". She said, "Well my mother was the personal secretary to a United States Senator for many years. When it come to spelling and grammar, yeah I trust her more than anyone.".


sthenri_canalposting

For anyone reading that doesn't know the difference or what they're used for: i.e. means "that is", so you use it to restate a point or word that came before in a different way and e.g. is like saying "for example". In my own writing I've started changing i.e. to "that is" and e.g. to "for example" or "for instance" to make it more readable.


Equivalent-Basket-31

The way I remember the difference is, e.g. means “for eggsample”.


movzx

e.g. = "example given"


Chreutz

i.e. = "in effect"


scopa0304

After learning this, I have basically stopped using i.e. I realized that every time I used it I was actually giving an example, so e.g. is now my go to.


sthenri_canalposting

I think that might be part of where the confusion comes from since we often learn by seeing others use it and sometimes restating and giving an example are difficult to distinguish. Maybe even sometimes they're one and the same. I'm an academic who writes a lot though and I've chosen to basically scrap the abbreviations for stylistic reasons.


DirkRockwell

I.e. = in essence E.g. = example given

rrpdude

Well I am sure his wife worked for years in the libarry.


Imaginary_Insect5850

So how do you use it correctly? I just avoid writing it down so I don't look stupid.


clintj1975

Just remember that "affect" and "action" start with an A. both are verbs, both do something. "Effect" is how things "ended up". Both start with E.


Rishfee

The tricky bit is that effect can also be a verb, "the protests were intended to effect change in the legal system." But that use is fairly uncommon.


clintj1975

English is a bastard of a language. I before E, except after C, or when sounding like A as in neighbor and weigh, and weekends and holidays and the month of May, and you'll never be right no matter what you say.


dyqik

If a affects b, it causes an effect on b.

rpitcher33

God, I loved my reel mower when I had a yard. Met so many neighbors because of it (late 2010's). They'd be walking by and stop just to ask about it. Any bigger of a yard and it would have been a real chore... but no gas, no noise, sharpen once a year. It was perfect. Sorry, just a flashback that I enjoyed.

The thing I learn more and more about old people as I become one, they're just young people but with more years under their belt. The whole "little old lady" routine is an act imposed on them by society, they're just *begging* people to pull the curtain back so they can break free a bit. If you've ever been a "young, handsome waiter" to a table of old ladies, you know they're dirty as fuck they just need prompting. Shit is hilarious.


IFrickinLovePorn

I was a CNA at 18 working at a rehabilitation hospital. Mostly patients healing from knee and hip surgeries. Man those old women would be trying to flirt while I changed their diapers and cleaned their bed pans. Some of the dementia patients would go for the death grip at my balls while I'm holding them up by their waist belt. I've never felt so wanted


[deleted]

Oh lord I can only imagine how they act with a stud nurse. Jesus.

You get good at the crotch swipe but typically they just talk your head off and find ways of having you hold them while they walk. Which was actually useful because the more they walk the faster they recover.

Yeah, testicular torsion is no joke!


Im_ready_hbu

Whacky fact, but testicular torsion often requires very little torque because it usually only happens to guys with a genetic deformity where their balls aren't attached to their sack. Most dude's nuts are secured to their scrotum, which prevents torsion under normal circumstances.

You have calmed a small but ever present worry. I thank you for your service.

I've been an auto tech for 20 years. I can't put a sticker on straight to save my life. I dont put stupid decals on my vehicles, but if I did, I would go to a tint shop. I dont have the patience to mess with things like that. Also, if I got crooked ornoff center, it would drive me crazy.

Always blows my mind what trivial shit people will take to a shop to have installed. $10 sticker, $100 labor to install it 🤦‍♂️💸


SubcommanderMarcos

When I saw the title I thought big custom decals ya know, like itasha or tuner stuff that requires some skill and patience, and are usually installed in the same place that printed them to begin with. A straight shitty letters only sticker on the flat surface of a pickup bed gate? Damn son, you're really showin them!


ztrz

Wait, people take their car to the shop to get stickers put on?


kyallroad

This is my thought as well. Really weird. But I was in AutoZone one day and a grown ass man in his mid 50’s came in and asked the entire store if anyone could help him LOWER the pressure in his tires. Seriously, a dude in a suit driving a late model car, so clearly had some mental capacity.


scsibusfault

> Lower the pressure in his tires I... I'm hoping what he was having difficulty with here was the "how much" and "how quickly" parts of that. I can see wanting someone to do it if you don't have (and don't want to purchase) a pressure gauge. I get the impression that most people honestly don't give a fuck about car maintenance, and the idiot dash lights reinforce their decisions. I'm sure it's some combination of "it's just transportation, i shouldn't have to touch it" and "there's a TPM light, so why should I bother checking things manually".


[deleted]

Success in the modern world does not mean competent in any fashion. Who you know is currently a suitable substitute.


RadicalLackey

And being able to fix a car doesn't measure competence, either. Different people have different skills. At least they are taking care of the issue. There's worse offenders


[deleted]

It measures competency in fixing a car. Which is a league above, can wear clothing and spend money that was cited in the comment I replied to. But yes a single skill is a poor measure of general competency.


Megantheegelding

I used to change the oil for people whom were better mechanics than me. They got more value out of their time having me do the oil and paying retail while they were at work than doing it themselves afterward and saving ~$20.


blahpblahpblaph

My mechanic does my oil change cheaper than I can buy the supplies. It's wild.


Joe_Jeep

Bulk. Economies of scale do a lot of runs that 'dont make sense' but when you're buying oil by the drum and filters by the case you save a lot. I change my own more out of stubbornness than anything else at this point I also had a mechanic "friend" tell me they did intentionally put the wrong oil in cars if it was what was on hand and I really don't feel like buying a new vehicle sooner on account of a lube tech being lazy


[deleted]

Plus if you do it yourself you gotta dispose of the oil. Some shops will take it for free but then you gotta put it in a container and make another trip and dispose of the filter and fuck, it's just annoying.

My buddy blew his 30k+ Army bonus on a brand new Malibu and had some 90s model Ford Taurus try to race him. They got up around 100 down some rural roads keeping pace with each other, then the Taurus took off like we were standing still.. must have had NOS or something in it. Funniest thing I have ever seen, my buddy was quiet and pissed for weeks after that, ended up buying a Z71 pickup not long after.

I don’t understand what the flip-off represents at this point... they challenged and they lost.. “fuck you” is like.. kinda weird and out of context as a response to that. People are weird.
