You say this everydayGood riddance
And I rolled 166k miles today on the S. Probably work on the Civic and S2000 tomorrow...probably. We'll see.
Speaking of flipping cars, do you get your's at auctions Alex?
Yeah, been distracted lately.
But needs to be done. Civic's main brakelights don't work, only the third.
S2000 has a noise coming from what I believe to be the differential and a shake around 80mph
Most I did today for them was clean up the garage a little and check S2000's lug nuts
Yeah, the Cadi and Trailblazer came from Copart and I'm watching 3 '08 S2000 CR's between Copart & IAAI
Don't have our dealer license right now so just paying a broker about $400 each time
Wiring or bulbs need to be replaced?
Air pressure? When was the last time you got the tires rotated/balanced? I'm having a similar issue with the rims on my Kia past 60mph.
Ah ha! I thought so. It's how I got my hatchies through my old engine swap guy In Jax. He would go to auctions in Orlando and trailer the cars up.
Got new bulbs for it the other day, bulbs work. So on to looking at where they split for the trunk spoiler.
I believe the pressure is right. Right-rear leaks some from the valve stem, just haven't gotten around to having them fix that since the last time I went, I wasn't about to wait 2hrs. And they're new-ish tires, probably 3 months or so old, maybe more, I don't really remember.
Has a noise that sounds like when my last differential went out. Wanted to put it up on the stands today and check fluid level. Tomorrow is fluid level check, then pull the wheels and check brake pads, axle nuts, and rock to check wheel bearings. If I have to buy another diff, going to be kinda pissed.
Orlando? Sounds like Manheim if it isn't those two.
HUGE yard, both of us want to go one day whenever we get the dealer license.
They have a yard close to us (close being 30-40mi) but nowhere near the size of O-town's
Unrelated, sorta...
So I've been searching S2Ki for the past 20 minutes, and I crushed my hopes & dreams.
Was hoping to add a 2009 Rio Yellow S2000 CR 'delete' as a garage queen.
Yeah, well, Honda only made 1 CR 'delete' in 2009. And in white. Eww.
For 2009:
A/C & Audio - The latest Rio was #686/699 and the earliest #670/699
For 2008:
A/C & Audio - The latest Rio was #667/699 and the earliest #003/699
Delete Model - The latest Rio was #634/699 and the earliest #093/699
So much for trying to have the first or last of each.
The only cool factor to a Rio now was the first & last delete CR's were Rio in 2008 lol
Only 31 CR's were made in 2009, only 1 being a 'delete' model. So I was hoping for fewest colors...? Nope, 5 of the ABP, 8 BB, 8 RYP, and 10 GPW's. Faaaack.
So must either get first/last RYP of '09 or preferably first/last (or any) RYP '08 delete. Damnit.

I just learned something new without trying. 
Could always paint it... Unless you are dead set on it being true.

For the CR, has to be true.
They're already being considered a collectors car, probably be like that for some time, so best to keep it as original as possible.
Looking at 3 CR's in the auctions, but only 1 Rio...a/c & radio car at that. Flood car, doesn't start.
Wouldn't know whether to fix and flip, fix and keep, part completely, or part enough to break even and keep what I want.
Wish I had more liquid cash to take a gamble on something like that. Oh well, not in the cards right now.

One day the stars will align.
So.. Not to throw the whole forum into an iPhone vs android debate.. But my contract runs up on the 11th, and I'm looking at a new phone. I was originally planning on waiting for the iPhone 7 to come out later this year, but my battery has completely taken a s**t and my phone won't last until then. I swear they design these things to take a s**t right around the time your contract runs out. This has been my second iPhone, and I love the format, mainly because it's what I'm used to.
I don't want to upgrade to the 6 because it's not that big of a difference between what I have already (iPhone 5). I'm looking at possibly getting an android. Thinking about a galaxy s5.
I just want something that's fast, reliable, and has a good camera. Those are my main wishlist items.
Any suggestions?

The s6 and the note 4 have the best cameras on the market, but the s5's is pretty good too. I have the note 4. If you don't want a huge phone, the s6 is smaller. I just don't like the design. The s5 is water resistant and had some other features like optional USB 3.0 with the cable. It's screen is pretty great too. I love my note 4. It's the best phone I've ever owned.
I've had my GS5 since it came out last year. As careless as I am with it, it hasn't let me down yet. I've dropped it countless times without a case. It's went floating in the bathroom sink twice. I'm on it many hours, so battery life sustains all day. However, it is old technology now.
I have been with Sprint since the mid 90's. So I haven't the slightest clue how completely functional an iphone is. My husband has had a 3rd gen for as long as I can remember, but he had to replace it every year until he got his 5c, after his beloved 3rd gen was stolen at the community pool. (Seriously? What are they teaching these retarded teenagers in school to go after a 3rd gen?
)
My buddy has had to replace his note 4 four times already. I don't know what kind of porn sites he visits, but he just f**ked that s**t up yesterday -- so it is #5 now.
Now if you're talking service provider wise... I'm a Sprint gal. I have unlimited every damn thing. It has never let me down between the mountains of Western North Carolina, Florida coast, and midwest flat lands. Although for some reason if you are ever traveling through the Jelico mountains of KY/TN border, service is the pits. I've had so many dropped calls during my travels through there. One would think after 10 years of traveling, I would have learned by now to stay off the damned phone while talking with my mom...

I agree, Motorola droids are usually terrible. But my note 4 is awesome.
So I did this today after I picked the demon spawn up from school...
Today has been an up and down kind of day, but I'd turning out to be an up. Got into work at 8 this morning and was already sweating profusely. Wearing black dickies and a thick cotton shirt doesn't help. It's super hot in the shop and I'm drinking a ton of water just so I don't pass out from heat exhaustion.
Have to head down to people's first next week and sit down to talk about an auto loan. Also decided I was gonna check on my credit card payment, and ends up checking my credit score. I didn't think I had any credit, but according to my statement it says I have pretty decent credit. Not the best, but for being 21 and just out of college I think I'm doing fine.
Work has been going well, my family and I are slowing getting back on track, and I'm starting to get my health in order as well.

I have the Note 3 and its great. By the time my contract is up, the note 4 should be alot cheaper. which I will get.
Im not going to get into the whole apple/android debate..
But apple changed its OS to look/perform just like android. The new Iphones are large, Just like samsungs.
Everyone laughed when Samsung launched the larger Note series.. Now everyone is buying/copying it.
Samsung also came out with the watch first..
Android has an 80% marketshare, Microsoft 2%, apple !8%
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is simply light years ahead of Apple's iPhone | Daily Mail Online
