Maybe RS might finally care about the soft on crime society we’ve turned into now that it’s a 90+ year old Asian man?

The big biker guy said he was sorry though so that’s good enough for me! He should have done more damage if that was his goal, coulda added another 3-5 hours for a head injury rendering the man a veggie, seems worth it

[whitev70r]

Yah, I don't feel good about that either. Should give the guy even a week in the slammer to make a point and to show guy the seriousness of his assault.

[Hondaracer]

The news just ran a story about an antique store on Main Street that had its windows smashed by a guy with a sledge hammer wrapped in a shirt

They caught the guy and he had 75+ convictions since 1998. Then Kennedy Stewart comes out and says “jail isn’t the place for these people”

Lol what in the fuck? Where then?!?! You’re right Kennedy, Simone with 75 ducking convictions belongs in the morgue.

so what constitutes a hate crime?

didn't the vpd spokesperson themself say he uttered racist anti-asian stuff and stuff about covid etc before manhandling the old man?

i guess the definition of it from the courts vs media are different. i assume it must be difficult to convict as a hate crime.

So my coworker is looking for a car for her son... Her husband's coworker is looking to sell his daughter's 90 SI civic hatchback.. completely unmodded for $2500.00.. Is that a legit deal? I know they are next to impossible to get these days so I'm thinking its great for an SI but not sure. Little rear quarter panel rust is the only blemish I can see from the pics.

[Hondaracer]

I paid $3500 for my 93 in like 2006 lol..

If it runs solid and it’s relatively clean etc. I’d say would be a nice friend deal for $2000

Incredibly easy cars to work on, even easier than EG I’d say

[murd0c]

That's what I was thinking about easy to work on, cheap on gas. It's for a 16yr old who wants to be a mechanic so I think it would be perfect for him. Funny because i said offer $2000 as well and see what they say but I also dont want them to rup him off since its from a coworker.

Will Smith smacks Chris Rock???

Does anyone know why? I don't get the joke

[MG1]

You have to be black to get it????

I don't get it.

Not sure if that was even a real hit. Assault charges? Oscar ratings? It was just awkward and weird.

[GS8]

Does anyone know why? I don't get the joke

I'm guessing because Jada has a shaved head

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU_mJDOB7ZM&ab_channel=hairvideos

It's funny watching Will laugh initially but you can see Jada's reaction. Cue the white knight reaction right after.

Hollywood is such a rancid pool. Makes Skid Row look 5 star....

[whitev70r]

Jada Pinket has a condition (alopecia) that results in her losing her hair. Joke was about G.I. Jane II ... shaved head.

I saw it on TV and didn't realize he actually hit him. Everything was bleeped out. That wasn't that bad of a joke, not sure why Will Smith went off.

[StylinRed]

Will was laughing too though...

No injury to Chris Rocks face either, so was it just a publicity stunt cuz ratings are low? :lol

He the only one who can get away with hitting someone just cuz he doesn't like a joke they made. Rest of us go to jail don't pass go.

[SSM_DC5]

It's pretty low if Chris knew ahead of time of her history for alopecia.
Anyone see Will's acceptance speech about Williams defending his family? Perhaps that's why Will did what he did after seeing/realizing that Jade wasn't happy about Chris' joke.

[68style]

I couldn't decide if he was accepting an award or making a reason for why he did what he did... either way he came off pretty crazy... dude talking about God putting him on earth to protect and love people and some power is flowing through him?

Dude you make fuckin movies lol... get a grip

[BlackV62K2]

What was going through Will Smith's head before the slap

"Everybody else thought that that was the funniest shit. And that threw me in a weird space cause I'm like, "Yo, this is Chris Rock and he's a star. Maybe I'm overreacting." I actually went there like, "Maybe I shouldn't do nothing." But my ghetto side was going, "Yo, stomp this motherfucker out right here. What the fuck is wrong with him?"

[winson604]

I guess I can't relate but isn't alopecia a treatable non life threatening condition? I don't know is it publically known that she has been depressed about this before? I mean if she had a crazy battle with cancer that's another thing. Again, can't relate in anyway shape or form. Right or wrong staged or not meh it was interesting for all of 2 mins for me then I moved on. I guess I'm glad someone didn't start a thread on this lol.

It's interesting you ask that, because Chris Rock himself hosted a documentary on the very topic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Hair).

The film focuses on the issue of how Black-American women have perceived their hair and historically styled it. The film explores the current styling industry for black women, images of what is considered acceptable and desirable for Black-American women's hair in the United States, and their relation to Black American culture

...

According to Rock, he was inspired to make the movie after his three-year-old daughter Lola asked him, "Daddy, how come I don't have good hair?" She has curly, wiry hair typical of many people of African descent. He realized she had already absorbed the perception among some black people that curly hair was not "good".

In any case, it's obviously a sensitive topic for her, and Will probably got embarrassed for laughing at the joke, and freaked out.

And no, alopecia isn't really treatable. Most men have it and eventually shave their heads. For many men, this is a difficult transition, and many don't even accept it, opting for bad looking wigs and expensive surgeries. For women, it's an even harder step to take, and based on the documentary, maybe even harder for Black women.

[MarkyMark]

Given the setting that's definitely not the actions of someone who's doing too well mentally. His acceptance speech didn't really help either, he sounds a little nutty. You'd think a couple who airs their dirty laundry on TV would know how to take a joke better.

I respect defending your wife but he could have went about it in a different way. It's wild that nothing happened after slapping someone on live TV lol, that Hollywood privilege.

[whitev70r]

Cut the Fresh Prince some slack ... prob going through menopause.

As an aside, not to minimize Jada's condition ... she is one lady who rocks the bald look pretty damn good. Not every lady can do it.

[GLOW]

i got the joke immediately, but seems like she was not pleased with the comment at all.

the slap and walk off and chris' reaction at first i thought it was staged.

but then will was screaming at him from his seat after and i saw the look on his face i'm like oh wow ok...

[westopher]

They all look pretty stupid from all this. I wouldn’t be with a woman who’s talking about fucking other dudes on Oprah if I were Will, that’s for sure. More unfunny shit from Chris rock too. Just a bunch of rich people doing dumb shit with giant egos as usual.

[whitev70r]

^ ... that's the Oscars in a nutshell.

But some movies in and of themselves do touch the heart and human spirit. I didn't know half the movies nominated but eg. CODA ... Children of Deaf Adults looks like a worthy one. Belfast may be another one.

[mikemhg]

Will Smith is a fucking weirdo and an idiot for doing that. It's a joke, this is why people have begun to absolutely hate Hollywood and the elitist assholes that reside within it.

You physically attack someone on television for a joke, then proceed to give a speech after winning a reward and not even acknowledge it whatsoever?

These people are fake weirdos, and Will has proven how nuts this man has become nowadays.

His ass should've been booed out of that entire place, if those sycophants in the audience had any integrity, that would've happened.

"Are we cheering Will or cancelling him???"

so will comedians now have to watch themselves b/c some heckler or person in the front row doesn't like what they hear and want to be the next will smith?

I guess it wasn't an act aftreall ... an official apology by Smith's publicist

https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/status/1508602655869845508

Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.

I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.

I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us.

I am a work in progress.

Sincerely,

Will

Cause he wanted to Bitch Slap him? Done to humiliate, not to instigate further physical confrontation. The implication being he's a "bitch" not worth of being punched like a real man. At least that's how I read it from my superficial and outdated notions of African American culture :awwyeah:

[GLOW]

have you seen those slap competitions where ppl get KO'd?
open palm strikes are quite effective, and there's quite a size differential between the 2.

may not have been pretty but at least he kept the show/flow going to present the next one.

[mikemhg]

I'm thinking he slapped him as opposed to punching him simply due to optics. It's funny though, people don't realize how effective a palm strike is, most people throwing a punch to the face end up breaking their hands (even when properly trained).

I really hope Will's career suffers for this though, the guy is a nutcase. What bothers me the most is that he professes "black excellence", and yet he felt no pause to slap another black man on stage in front of millions of people. So which is it Will, are you about uplifting the black man, or are you not?

I guarantee you he would never have done that to a Ricky Gervais, or a Neil Patrick-Harris, not a chance.

Smith’s apology on social media seems like legalese. Did his lawyers write out the apology for him?

Where is the visual of the apology? I think that his apology to Chris Rock and to Academy would look more sincere if he posted a video on IG and apologize to Rock.

Jim Carrey is right about Hollywood. He calls out Hollywood for being “spineless on mass” for applauding Smith after his Oscars acceptance speech.

While obviously bitch slapping someone else in public, especially if both people are famous, is stupid - I will say this: my wife has alopecia - and while she didn't shave her head, she's had times she broke out in tears in the morning because of random bald spots she finds. It really fucks with you mentally, especially if you're a woman (famous or not).

I donno if Chris Rock knew of this when he made the joke, although it's been reported Jada has been public about it; but if CR was aware, then it was in pretty poor taste.

[Hondaracer]

id counter that with saying your wife has to live an everyday life, under presumably normal circumstances

Jada could hop on her 75 million dollar gulf stream and blow off the stress on a private island being waited on hand and foot, her feelings are probably a little harder to get hurt

Lol are you saying if you were rich and famous, I could walk up to your wife and make fun of her in public, and you'll just tell her i"t's ok, I'll take you to our island"?

[westopher]

I agree with him that being part of jokes when your in the front row of the Oscar’s, it comes with the territory. Either way, the joke was poor taste, but she’s been a piece of garbage for a long time, so fuck her. If you’re willing to embarrass your husband with your dirty laundry in front of millions, I don’t think you get to say making fun of your haircut is over the line.
If rock walked up to her on the street and started roasting her about it that’s totally different, but comedians roast people at awards shows, that’s what they are there for.
Bottom line is these celebs need to just shut the fuck up more often than not. Maybe they can sing imagine over a zoom call again.
Also LOL at that idiot Amy schumer trying to make it about herself being traumatized in interviews about it. The narcissism in Hollywood is pathetic.

[MarkyMark]

Getting roasted isn't a new thing at these events, it's basically expected. Jada should be honored she's even being mentioned because this is the biggest thing to happen to her career other then marrying Will Smith.

Just sit there, fake laugh it off and they'll be onto the next joke in a few seconds. Don't like it? Don't fucking go.

Just have to hope that there is no cloud cover. I took the chance when I drove down to Oregon. We were blessed with absolutely clear skies. And to clarify, I did take the special glasses off to see it. Put them back on right away after witnessing the ring effect.

Has anyone ordered tires from QuattroTire before? Any issues?

Ordered from them last year. Shipping via FedEx was ground shipping, 2 tires arrived first, the other 2 the next day.

They don't come wrapped with any sort of plastic wrap or anything which kind of annoyed me as the sidewalls were scuffed, but their prices and the pre-paid credit card promo they had saved me well over $110 compared to buying tires from costco/kaltire/1010tires

I would order from them again if there were savings to be had.

I had a good experience ordering snow tires from blackcircles.ca… showed up at my parents house in 1 day

Hey guys,

I'm looking to change over my winter tires to all seasons and haven't changed a tire in forever.

What tools do I need?
Do I need to get them re-balanced as well or is that something I can do?

I do know which tires were on which wheels if that helps.

Thanks!

[westopher]

The tires aren’t on wheels? If not I’d recommend rebalancing. It’s not going to cost you much more than just remounting them.

[PeanutButter]

The tires aren’t on wheels? If not I’d recommend rebalancing. It’s not going to cost you much more than just remounting them.

Oh, the tires are already on wheels. Is rebalancing only needed if they're not on wheels?

[EvoFire]

Just throw them on, if the tires are still on the wheels they are probably fine, just make sure they are aired up

[AzNightmare]

Oh, the tires are already on wheels. Is rebalancing only needed if they're not on wheels?

If the tires are already on the wheels, then you shouldn't need to rebalance them again. The balancing is only necessary when the tire is first installed on the wheel.



Besides the obvious tools of lifting the car and a wrench to loosen the lugs.

You'll need a torque wrench to ensure the lug nuts are torqued at the correct spec when you put the all seasons on. Torque them on in a "star" pattern.

Breaker bar is a nice to have to break the lug nuts loose.
Jack stand is good to have as well to hold your car up while you work on it. Don't leave the car lifted only by the scissor jack/floor jack, etc. Unless you have an actual lift.

[BIC_BAWS]

Breaker bar is a must have. LOL u ain't breaking 94ft-lbs with a 3/8 ratchet. Remember to break the nuts on the ground, unless you got an impact driver.

You'll also need the socket associated with the correct lug nut size, as well as lock tool if you have a wheel lock.

PB, where you located? Maybe one of us can lend a hand.

[PeanutButter]

Ok, this is what I've found so far based on your recommendations...

1/2" breaker bar. I suspect a ratcheting one is better than a non-ratcheting?

You don't need a ratchet breaker bar. Just a standard one is fine, but I know this bar goes on sale as low as $15 every now and then.
https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/maximum-1-2-in-drive-flex-breaker-bar-24-in-0589982p.html#srp

The torque wrench you linked is perfect, but it also goes on sale for around $50.

Canadian Tire products are perfectly fine if you just tinker on your car on the weekend. I've been using these products for almost 10 years. But as mentioned, unless you're in a rush, don't ever pay full price for them since CT has these products on sale at least once a month.


The floor jack is fine, but if you're lifting at the pinch weld, most floor jacks don't have enough padding. So you'll need to get something like a hockey puck. Simple, but works.


You should also get a pair of jack stands since you should never work on the car when it's just supported by a floor jack. As a rule of thumb, floor jacks are for lifting, not for holding weight.
https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/certified-jack-stands-3-ton-0090011p.html


Also make sure your socket set actually has the size required for your lug nut. If your socket set is a small one, the biggest socket might still be too small. (That happened to me before, lol)

These tools should last you a very long time, maybe even life time if you're just using it occasionally as a hobbyist. Once you invest in these tools, you'll be switching tires every season on your own, no more line ups at the local tire shop. You can start doing your own basic maintenance. It's well worth the investment.

anyways this breaking bar should be good enough for ur needs. its on sale $15

I just checked and theres no real solid deals for floor jack and jackstands atm. Like everyone has said, Canadian Tire products are fine for people who wrench it once and awhile. I work on my truck all the time and all my CT Tools have held up for almost 2 decades, aside from that ratcheting breaker bar u just posted. I just broke something simliar a couple weeks ago but Maximum products have a lifetime warrantty so they replaced it no questions asked.

jackstands for cheap at walmart $35

come to think of it, ill probably buy the Husky 3 ton jack. My 2 ton CT Jack has lasted me 20 years but cant lift my truck anymore.

lol, I was thinking that too.

I didn't know how much detail to dive into as I don't want to sound condescending. But when people need help and it's actually something I know, I love sharing advice.



PB, I guess the only other thing is to make sure you look up where the jack points are in your car. Something as simple as a tire change can go horribly wrong if you don't lift the car up properly.


https://youtu.be/RfB7YWZ5j6E?t=232


(The guy was using the floor jack properly... but he was working on an unsmooth/cracked ground and the floor jack wheel got stuck so it didn't roll forward as he lifted the car up)

[BIC_BAWS]

Further adding on to socket size, since you're buying 1/2" bars, make sure you have an accompanying 1/2" socket for the said lugnut. Typically it's 17/19 for BMW/Honda, double check on what you need because I didn't until I had the car all up on jackstands just to find out I need a 21/22 because type r things lol.

Now that the border is open, I'd suggest going to Harbour Freight to pick up a floor jack. I've been using mine since I bought my 330ci years ago. Not sure if you need the lowprofile version or what car you have, but it's the only lowpro that actually works with low cars that I've noticed.

PB, if you are doing it yourself for the first time ... 100% try to have someone there who knows what they are doing. Although Youtube or the excellent advice given so far is great, there are just nuances to this that someone who has never done it may not have foreseen. If anything it's good just to have someone watch and even say, 'Yup, that's how to do it, that's right.'

[westopher]

Good advice. It’s simple, but it’s always nice not to worry if your wheels are attached.

[underscore]

I like to go to Princess Auto and grab a breaker bar and a 6 point socket in whatever size the vehicle needs. Use it for tire changes, but then keep it in the car so if you're swapping a flat you're not trying to use the dinky thing the factory gives you.

What i like about Princess Auto is that they have soo many sales and if u miss one. U can go back within 30 days after the sale has ended and they will honor that price.

I usually hit up stocktrack.ca to check the tools that im interested in and how low they have sold for in the past so i can wait for the sale to happen again or if im lucky its within the 30 days and i can go buy it.

Yah, the first car (black Accord), tree fell right on the roof, crushed whole car ... sole driver died.
Second white car (white SUV) ... less than 1 sec real time difference probably, tree fell on front hood ... driver and passenger survived.

That's a pretty fast flowing section with a LOT of traffic. A lot of people should go and hug their kids today.

Moving forward, if you are familiar with that section of Marine Dr, it is going to be problematic, this revealed loose soil over a stretch with lots of similar positioned trees.

[westopher]

Every year when the wind hits in the spring it seems to show very volatile areas in GVRD. We back onto a creek and tons of trees fell down onto the path and some even hit some balconies. It’s pretty common that someone would be where they land, and luckily no one was hurt.
I remember the couple in west van that was killed this winter when one smashed into their house and landed right on their bed when they were sleeping. Better chance of winning the lottery and that would be a lot cooler. Devastating coincidence.

Is there any way for etransfers to get reversed once the receiver collects it and it's in their bank account?

Some guy on Craigslist wants me to reserve an item I'm selling until he gets back in town and is willing to etransfer the payment first. My immediate thought is scam!

Normally I wouldn't even bother thinking about these kind of emails, but just wondering is there actually anything to lose on my end? We're still going to have to meet up eventually when he physically picks up the item so I'm not shipping it off. He just wants to make sure someone else doesn't buy it first...

I mean, if I can get paid upfront early, he can take his time and pick up the item whenever. Just wondering if anyone ever went through something like this. How much of my personal info gets shared to the buyer if I'm just collecting it and putting it in my bank account?

I mean if you're worried about etransfers, do you only ever take cash for in-person transactions?

The only time they get reversed is if he claims fraud with the bank.

yah, seriously, a lot of CL transactions are done at the spot with e-transfers. So that's the same thing ... guy can etransfer you but he can't reverse it.

In those transactions, sometimes it goes through fine and quick like minutes ... other times, you're sitting there for 10 awkward mins shooting the breeze until it comes through your text or email. I almost always settle on terms before meeting someone, like state cash only.

Unfortunately, once a deposit has been made there is no way to reverse the transaction. You’ll have to make arrangements directly with the recipient.

Not sure if this is true, read online the person sending the money can claim his account got hacked, and money was sent without his consent. Then bank could reverse the money back to the sender (aka scammer).

Yeah, I don't want to deal with that awkward moment while you're waiting for the money to process. Maybe I'm a bit old school, but I've always done cash deals for buy & sell, and assumed that was a given. No paper trail, and the transactions stay relatively anonymous.

I have no problem with etransfers from friends or trusted sources. This is the first time dealing with an etransfer from a complete random stranger. I've been using CL for a long time and every deal I've done was cash.

Going down to Bellingham area for the next two days since my mom has a free stay at Silver Reef with two beds.

Anyone have suggestions on what to do in the area? Probably going to the Seattle outlet and Bellis Fair. Might skip actual Seattle since I've been there a ton of times already.

[MG1]

Check out Lynden, Wa. Just to say you've been there. Downtown (business area) Bellingham and the waterfront. There's more to Bellingham than Bellis Fair and Trader Joe's, lol. Yeah I got the free night stay thing from Silver Reef. Every week in April. $15.00 free play a week, plus $5.00 on Seniors Day. $5.00 food voucher and 5 X points. Free birthday Buffet. I haven't been in a while, but I remember it being pretty decent............ for free.

[whitev70r]

Highly recommend a stroll in the old part of Bellingham, Fair Haven. There is a boardwalk starting at the posh hotel. Don't waste your time at Bellis Fair. Lots of empty shops even before Covid. If you've been to Metro Town, it's 100x better.

[SSM_DC5]

Costco has a sale for 20% off tires, expires today. Is that a good sale? Or is the ones later in the year where all tires companies have a sale at the same time better?

[westopher]

That’s a massive sale. Get on it. Rebates are at most $150 which is plenty less unless the tires are like linglong or triangle.

[N.V.M.]

I've got 3 linglongs and a triangle on my 2000 Caravan.

[SSM_DC5]

It's the brand name tires right now. Michelin, pirelli, and Bridgestone. I forgot what the usual sale was? Not like buy 3 get one free? I vaguely remember it's like $100-200 in Costco gift card.

[westopher]

I’ve never seen the buy 3 get one free on any of the top end tires, so not sure what it includes.

[MG1]

If you're strapped for money and need tires in a pinch, the Canadian Tire's Tire Sale (twice a year) is a good deal. 24 months, no interest, equal payment plan. They carry most major brand tires and offer good warranty (nation wide). If you have a Triangle Mastercard, you get quite a bit of loyalty points (Digital Canadian Tire Money). If manufacturers have rebates, they honour that, as well. Everything is stackable.

https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/triangle/ctr-tires-event.html

Looks like the event just ended, but............. they sometimes honour prices one week after the sale. Not 100% sure.

[Hondaracer]

I actually hopped on the Costco sale just now

I went to take of my winters and swap the summers back on and one of the tires had a huge gash in the inner sidewall, not like it had been opened up but more like it rotted out. On closer inspection the tires were about 12 years old… lucky I found that before we hopped on a road trip to oenticton etc.

I just ordered the Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack for their replacement:

https://m.tirerack.com/survey/SurveyComments.jsp?tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Turanza+QuietTrack

Came to $1000 even with TPMS and installation, saved $200 with that deal, perfect timing!

The 3M tape is probably the better brand out there. Its what i use at work. But if ur trying to mount something heavy or on a surface that generally tape doesnt stick to, a adhesion promoter is recommended

Any recommendations on rust paint? I was gonna go with POR-15 to cover up the surface rust on the rear drums of my DD, but I'm having sticker shock after I saw its price. Crappy Tire seems to carry these other rust paint -- Tremclad and Armor Coat -- that are easily 4x - 5x cheaper for the same volume of paint. It's $90 vs $23 and $17, so it isn't a small sum.

[underscore]

I'm taking suggestions on the order of operations when painting wheels when installing new tires as well. Paint and then put the tires on? Put the tires on and then paint? Put the tires on but don't seat them, then paint?

Cheap car > cheap paint
Then again, not sure if fancy paint is any better, and I've painted alot of parts on dozens of cars

What I will recommend although, is painting properly, depending how long you want it to last.
Primer > paint > clear. Some come primer + paint.
I'm not sure if drums get hot when the brake, if they do, I would get high temp paint.
Furthermore, you will want to at minimum, sand down the surface and clean it best you can. Anything that's not sanded / cleaned, will start peeling off within a year.

I'm taking suggestions on the order of operations when painting wheels when installing new tires as well. Paint and then put the tires on? Put the tires on and then paint? Put the tires on but don't seat them, then paint?

I've done raw rims and tires mounted, on cheaper cars of sub 20k
If you paint them properly, the tire shop will probably not mess them up. Sanding and cleaning, again, is the most important part, anything not sanded, WILL peel off. Furthermore I try and paint above 20C, including paint and rim temperature.
If you do a poor paint job, good odds the staff + mounting machine will chip the entire edge, if not more.
Painting post mounting is possible, I use a pack of playing cards or cardboard as I spray the rim. I do not suggest this method when it's windy. Furthermore you have high odds of paint over spray hitting the car. Not that it will stick permanently, just to keep that in mind

I guess the answer comes down to this
Proper paint job & curing = before mounting is ok
Half ass paint job = before not suggested

You can also call the tire shop, and ask for their process, they can let you know how the machine "grips" the edge or such

Paint ur wheels first. Its pretty difficult masking off the tires when the tires are already on. Ur rims need at the minimum 2 days to dry before tires to be installed. Tire shops wont install it unless it has time to properly dry. The more time it dries, the least likely itll be scratched

[underscore]

I'm going to be mounting the tires myself so probably best to paint them after. I'm trying to do a nice job but I suck with paint so it'll end up being a half ass job lol.

Paint them after the tires are installed. Masking off the tire is not that hard, but just time consuming. You'll probably have to mask the entire tire (use a decent amount of masking tape and paper), because you also have to paint the barrel from the back side. Just make sure you prep the wheels well and use primer.

I rattle can spray painted my wheels before and they've held up well, it's been over 7 years. They do get chipped here and there from debris, but I've also added touchup coats before, lol.

I assume you're painting with the wheels off the car. Otherwise overspray will spread everywhere on to your car. But you'll also be at a much better position to hit every angle for full coverage with the wheels off.

2 days to dry, but realistically, maybe up to a week, especially with current temps. The surface layer dries relatively quick to handle, but curing and full adhesion takes a lot longer. Do the sniff test. If the paint still smells, it's probably not ready yet.


As for any future tire work, I suggest going to shops that only use touchless tire machines.

Mount and balance, then break the bead.

Take 2 pieces of cardboard, overlap them a few inches, then cut a circle 1" smaller than the OD of the rim. Fit the cardboard in the bead and paint.

Another option is take a 24"x24" (or larger) piece of plastic cut a circle, 2" smaller than the rim OD, fit it into the bead and tape the sides down.

Edit: paint at CT is a fucking rip-off. Way cheaper at lordco with an account. Also, if you're going to clear coat, nothing beats 2K Clear

[underscore]

Sorry when I said mount them myself I mean I'm doing it in my garage with tire spoons and balance beads lol. I won't put the valve stems in until after paint, it seems like it would be a pain to try and spray in there with the stems in. I really like the cardboard or plastic sheet ideas, that'd be way easier than a million playing cards.

Finding paint has been a hassle since I'm trying to order online since I don't have the time to go into a store. I've been trying to find something like acid green but no dice. I might just have to settle for white.

Rust-oleum has a "gloss key lime" that looks closeish, I'm just not sure it'll be as violently bright as I'm hoping for.

[RiceIntegraRS]

depends on the look ur going for. i personally like the meadow green myself. the 2x rustoleum covers extremely well and since its also a primer, sticks well too($10 a can and 1 can is all thats needed. i painted both my truck wheels with it(gloss black). over time the gloss shine will fade to more a matte color over time so if u want it shinny, clearcoat is needed.

I have painted with the stems on. I don't know anything about tire mounting though. Sounds like it'll be easier to put the stems in after, although all you need to do to mask stems the stems with masking tape.

I recommend getting a spray can trigger as well.

I have Telus home services for my parents home, then added home services of my new home. I have Telus mobility with them; however, the contract expired and cost went up $10. Told them I wanted to pay the same before, kept arguing with these idiots and they wouldn't budge a dime. Even went to escalation department loyalty, stupid lady useless fuck rather watch me leave to another competitor. Fiancee corporate plan is the same as what I was paying, so made no sense for me to stay with Telus if they didn't give me what I was paying initially. I preferred to stay with Telus because to keep all the billing with home & mobility together, as it helps with bargaining leverage with renewing home services.

At this point, no reason for me to stay with Telus mobility. Greedy fucks, kept saying what they offer now is the best, already better than all the other carriers. 10GB for $67 tax in is their current offer. I was initially paying $57 tax in for 10GB.

It's kind of a light brass colour, but has a red and green tint on it depending on the angle. Maybe it's anodized or something.

More often than not, those, "forecasts," are just that. Tomorrow, for example, was supposed to be wet. Now the "Forecast" says sunny for a good part of the day. Just checked it again, right now............ dry from 6:00 am Friday to Saturday afternoon (3:00 pm).

Our part of the world is the most unpredictable. My buddy who was a meteorologist, said it's basically a crap shoot to predict more than 12 hours ahead. Jet streams crossing each other, ocean temps, etc......

This weather brings us so much natural beauty. Cannot complain about the mild climate and beautiful flora. Lot more shit to complain about like, like, like, gas prices, and turds, and house prices, and racism, and.............. complaints r us. EDIT: the canucks, gulolol.

That was your problem right there. If you're moving every few days it's fucking exhausting, packing and unpacking, boarding the next plane or train, checking into the next hotel.

If he keeps a home base or at least stays at each spot a few weeks or so at a time, it's a MUCH easier experience.

Not only that you end up saving money, lots of rentals prefer weekly or monthly bookings, you can save some serious coin if you just chill at a spot, move around less.

Hi, are you me? Are you my alt-account?

[CivicBlues]

11 years ago I did a year abroad going thru China-->SE Asia-->Middle East-->Australia and ended WHV in Sydney for 4 months. Other than Sydney I don't think we stayed in a place more than 5 days in a row. It was amazing but I clearly remember days when it was a complete slog and felt depressed and frustrated as hell. Luckily for me the "depression" would be cured by moving to a new country! We saw 16+ countries and so much shit it's mind-boggling to think back on it. I actually got more depressed when we settled down in Sydney and cut it short to go back to more travelling.

Ever since travel was nixed due to COVID a week doesn't go by when I don't look fondly on our trip, but then I think about it more and damn it was hell on my body and my relationship. I was in my twenties then so I don't think my body can take it if I had to do it all over again.

I've gone to Europe probably 8 times (9th in 2 weeks!) but at most the trips were up to 3 weeks. I think I do it that way to avoid sticker shock and the similarity of cultures would be draining on me. Still haven't had a bad trip though.

So guess what I'm trying to say is different strokes, there's no real right way to travel.

As for what mikemhg said, with the packing / unpacking thing:
Depending if your male or female lol, take ONE backpack with you, and that's it.
No suitcase. I did this a few years ago, and im never going back to suitcase travel. A well planned 15lb backpack is all you need

Lol the thing I hate the most when going with the wifey is hey let's go shopping, I'm always like why? OK sure if there's something you're looking for that you know they sell here and not back home we can go look at that but I don't really feel like spending hours walking through a mall or shopping district. Granted sure you do randomly come across stuff but really that isn't what I'm here for BibleThump

Since we’re on the topic of traveling, got bored and decided to head to Portugal for almost 2-months with the SO and WFH for 2-3 weeks of the duration. We’re going to Madrid soon and after that, Barcelona for Formula 1.

We got an Airbnb in Portugal and it was around $2K per month + service and cleaning fees on top. We decided instead of your typical vacation where you’re hustling and bustling through every attraction, we took our time exploring Portugal and will do the same for Spain.

That's the best way to go! taking it a bit slower and you really get a feel for the place and you don't come out needing a vacation from your vacation :lol

Got some scratches on my rear bumper from not being careful when loading/unloading. Went down to bare plastic.

Planning on following this video to fix her up with some touch-up paint.

Any thoughts?

Maybe? I think we've both been sexually harassed by bcrdukes at one time or another. Has he ever made you massage shinetsu grease into rubber while he watched before?Shinetsu grease? I wish man. It was some kind of American lube/grease from GM. Good times though. :whistle::fappery::jizz:

Show us where he touched you..

I ain't not electrical tech, but my condo keyfob got water in. Corroded the battery causing a battery leak, which damaged the circuit board. It works as a fob to access door, but won't open the garage gate.

My dad in law told me to submerge the circuit board in 99% alcohol, but when I look at the board the battery acid ate some of the connecting component lines that run around, so even if I can clean this board, seems like it's a lost cause at this point? E.g. If I press on the fob, the light stays solid which it usually just blinks once. Definitely some connection issues messed up.

Looks like I'm out $80 to get a replacement.

Best way to do it.

You can take your time and really explore the city, take some days or nights to just get lost going to different bars and restaurants, as opposed to rushing around in 5-7 days trying to knock off all the top reviewed spots in Trip Advisor/Google :lol

Go to a footie game!

Holy bejesus............... switch over to Sci Fi channel and I see a really nice set of .......... reruns of Ghost Whisperer. I remember watching that show way back. Why do I not remember any of that? It's obvious her assets are displayed on purpose. Jennifer Love Hewitt, ftmfw!

Every time I watch it, she's either in a night gown or prancing around in her lingerie. Anyway.

Looks good.

Only thing to be mindful is to make sure the paint actually matches. Some paint pens are really off, even though they're supposed to match. Of course the bigger the area, the more likely it'll be noticeable if it's not an exact match.

Just take your time and go slow if you're not experienced in sanding. You don't want to create more problems by sanding too hard or missing spots cause you're rushing. lol, the guy made it seem a lot easier cause that work wasn't in real time.

Yeah, I ordered from www.automotivetouchup.com. My paint is a tri-coat, so it was one of the few vendors online that include both a base and mid-coat. Heard the Mazda OEM touch-up pens aren't great and don't match properly.

Guess I'll take some before and after pics and see how it goes. :ahwow:
