Bye
Whatever you do, don’t go to tokio next to coors field. I got food poisoning there.
It’s a drive but Izakaya Amu in Boulder is fantastic
They are just sick like all the damn time.
Same as with any other used car. Depending on the price, you should have it looked at by a reputable mechanic before giving them any money. Get them to write $500 as the sale price if they are willing to, so you don’t have to pay as much tax at registration.
Drove mine across the country when I bought it. Check for underbody rust, check that the trunk key open isn’t stuck. Check both sides of the wheels for pothole dents. Take the shield off beneath the engine, where you’d change the oil filter, and look at the top side for oil leaks that the seller is trying to conceal. You may want to bring your own ramps to do that part, and the wheels. While you’re down there tap the exhaust joints lightly with a ball hammer. If it has high miles, pull the oil filter off and cut it up, see if there’s any flakes in there. It’s a canister so you’ll need an angle grinder. Buy the seller a new filter beforehand. If the oil has just been changed, adjust your suspicion level to maximum.
if hard top, check that the top doesn’t have much play when closing (close halfway and jiggle). The panel between the roof and trunk will have the paint peeling on the edges - they all do and there’s no getting around it
Check if it has the Bose audio. If it does, you’ll have a slightly harder time installing an aftermarket stereo, just a good thing to know.
Car YouTubers are either:
“now put your car on your in-ground hydraulic lift and fire up your $5k tig welder”
Or,
“Throw a couple of bricks underneath it and drill a hole straight through the frame, try not to hit the gas tank but if ya do, oh well”
So you are going to wear some kind of pants that you can’t take off easily for 3 days. Maybe some kind of medieval armor, or a fursuit.
Gatorade has tons of calories because of the sugar, and it will leave nothing to poop out. It will give you the critical electrolytes (plants crave them) that you’re missing from food. Take a multivitamin too.
But it doesn’t have enough calories, and you need stuff to go in your stomach so you don’t suffer being empty on your temporary Gatorade diet. eat white bread. Your body metabolizes almost all of it, so there’s almost nothing to poop out.
You will need to poop out all your poop before doing this, so good hydration and veggies beforehand will clean you out. No need for laxatives, just switch to your new and stupid diet 36 hours before you need to stop pooping.
Good luck on your medieval battle reënactment or orgy.
When I used to use it, over 10 years ago, it was great for couch surfing for a six pack and staying in peoples spare rooms for like $20. Did it all over Australia and Europe in college.
Now I think they’ve positioned themselves as being high-end hotel alternatives, because there’s more margin there. It was never good for that.
I think that’s a bit of an oversimplification of the argument
I use my car to transport my bike, surfboard, skis, dog, lawnmower, buy furniture, buy lumber etc for projects, and more. It just can’t be beat in terms of convenience. For repairs around the house, gardening, etc, it’s a must-have.
A 1998 CR-V does all that and it cost me $2500. Bomb-proof b20b also, I love it. I don’t think you can beat that in terms of convenience.
I’m all for trains and buses (electric busses would be great!) but the utility wanes when lots of people bring stuff. I used to have a 45 minute bus commute, and the bus had racks for bikes. I’d bring my bike to do the 5 mile trip to and from bus stops at both ends. But lots of people wanted to do that, and you’d have to be early in line to get your bike on the bus, otherwise you had to wait for the next one. I can’t imagine people trying to bring 2x4s or potted plants on the bus! Or their pets, another issue altogether.
