    🏡 Better Homes Anyone know a good window shade repair place?

    Our house came with these Levolor top down/bottom up cordless Roman shades. I like them a lot but a few of them no longer go all the way down, like the strings have shrunk over time. I’d like to get them restrung as they are $417 a piece and otherwise in good shape. I’m having a hell of a time...

    Syp is that you?

    Occasionally I poke around for GTP/GS/SSEi’s to see if anything is available that isn’t rusted out or $12k. Here we have a black 2 door 97 GTP with red bad overlays and rally stripes on the fenders. This your old car @syP ? https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/820326739/overview/

    Snowblower & small engine maintenance and repair thread - brokeout of SNOW thread

    We’ve got at least 4” in Aurora and still coming down. I woke up at 6am to my neighbors 2 stage blower running. I looked out and saw my sidewalk was cleared and was horrified that they would do my driveway too. I have only gotten to use this thing once, don’t take my satisfaction away. 2 days...

    Temporary fix for TCG app photo upload resizing on iOS

    I found a temporary fix for the TCG app turning all of your uploaded photos to thumbnails. If you just delete the "_thumb" before ".jpg" you'll get your full size image.

    New daily - VW content 3.0

    Sooo I have been toying with the idea of buying a MK7 GTI for awhile now but never really looked into it. I got my CPO MK6 GTI in February of 2014 and initially loved it. As time went on and whatever snake oil they rubbed on the car wore off I quickly realized the whole car pretty much had a...

    APR (VAG) Having some problems.

    Really only relevant to people with VW/Audi vehicles as I don't think they mess with anything else. Sounds like their R8 race team bankrupted the company and they are up to all sorts of shady shit. AudiBoost - APR's reputation takes a major tumble - What the Audizine and VWVortex Audi/VW...

    My 2002 SSEi will be going to the scrap yard by next week. I'm taking the headers, rockers, springs, blower and throttle body off today and will post them separately. If any 3800 people want anything else out of it before it goes away post up and I'll pull it out too before they come for it.

    Nikon 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 G VR Lens

    Selling my 70-300 VR Nikkor lens. I got the 70-200 f/4 so I don't need two lenses in pretty much the same zoom range. I bought this new from Cameta probably 4 years ago and pretty much only use it for track events. It comes in the original box with ALL of the original packaging including the...

    New Daily - VW Content! V2.0

    My trusty rusty SSEi had a bit of a head on collision with a telephone pole a month and half ago. I had that car 9 years and put 90,000 miles on it. Based on the value of the car, and how it would affect my future rates I decided against filing a claim and went out and bought a car. I got a...

    Fall KOTS Pictures

    I've whored almost all of these out on my FB page over the week but wanted to post them here also as FB compresses everything and makes them look gross. Had a great time at KOTS and really want to start shooting more racing.
