    Quick Product Review – Covercraft “Noah” after 2 years

    Well, I thought I uploaded 3 photos, but only one at a time shows up. I'll gladly admit to being less than adept at this if users accept my apology for ending up with multiple posts trying to get multiple pics uploaded...... :surrender:

    Quick Product Review – Covercraft “Noah” after 2 years

    UPDATE Product Review – Covercraft “Noah” after (now) 4 years I was the OP on this thread in 2013. A couple of days ago I took the attached pics. Same cover on the same car, now all going on 4 years. The car has lived outside (and thus the cover has also) full-time the last year and a half...

    Me & the WG twins had to go a little bit medieval on my son's new to him '10 328i

    Well, jacked up enough to catch my attention just walking from parking to the building, and jacked up enough I could stand in obe spot with the dude and in a polite manner point at examples other than the car we were buying, and ask why there were putting up with that. Of course, it wouldn't...

    Me & the WG twins had to go a little bit medieval on my son's new to him '10 328i

    His car can look different to me in different light. It looks like a wine color to my eyes. I took a number of pics and ones in the shade or even under the canopy look like a different color in the resulting pic. So, yep, Barbera is def the color, but the way this little tablet aperture...

    2014 camaro rs new car detail

    Biggest complaint I have with my 11 SS is that on tip-in, it feels for all the world like the little computers then send out a memo and agree to have a meeting to decide if that human behind the wheel is going to be allowed to partake in a percentage of throttle travel requested, and if not...

    how lenient are you with your daily driver?

    THE daily driver gets washed fairly often to keep paint clean, remove contaminants, etc. Maybe clayed and sealant semi-annually with a Meg's product perhaps. Semi-daily "there be some nice days this week" car that generally lives under cover and/or garaged gets washed after every drive, or...

    I think my GG6 is going TU - please look at pics and give me thoughts here

    Follow-up. Vacation and life got in the way, so it's been like a month or so. I had occasion to be in Tacoma last week, so I took the machine with me to the Griot's store there. Dude looked at it for maybe 5 seconds, commented that they had seen very few start to wear like that, and handed me...

    Me & the WG twins had to go a little bit medieval on my son's new to him '10 328i

    Agreed! They call it "Barbera Red Metallic". I think 2010 was its last year, replaced by Vermillion Red.

    BTW, today's plan was just the paint. Wheels, etc. were not tackled.

    Me & the WG twins had to go a little bit medieval on my son's new to him '10 328i

    My son knew what he wanted in shopping for his car, but it turns out he got some extra options with his purchase - incl DISO, with side helpings of swirls and scratches. I went with him to the buy; someone had to drive him, and hey, ya never know, maybe they'd be looking for some extra help...

    I think my GG6 is going TU - please look at pics and give me thoughts here

    See below pics. Just noticed today it seems to me that the shaft has excessive play - not on the plane of rotation, but the shaft "rocks" The pictures show what I mean. I put the backing plate on snug, and tried to show by the way the pad rocks re: look at the gap change between the pad and...

    Tax deductions for tools/products/etc.?

    Why would the thread need to be deleted??? It's not like we're over here plotting to take all the cookies from the lunchroom. Just talkin' bout what all goes into a good cookie. Seriously? A discussion about good business practices? Deleted?

    Tax deductions for tools/products/etc.?

    OP, you asked a hot button question. Anything in the code that is subject to interpretation as to specific circumstances is ripe for abuse, and deductions for ordinary and necessary business expenses under Code Sec 162 is one of those areas. The comments (note I'm not calling it "advice") are...
