New England B.S. Thread

Yes I’ve been waiting but all I see is how we won’t get it.

then Toyota sends emails and has a web page about how cool it would be if we did get it. Well news to Toyota, we aren’t the ones stopping it you are!

 

I would 100% rock a GR yaris. That's a car you could drive like an absolute dickbag asshat, and no one would like twice at it.

 

I knew a guy who lived about a 1/4 mile past the middle school. There's cable to the middle school. Time Warner quoted $40,000 to bring cable to his house.

I pay $69.99/month for Spectrum and have no complaints. I get a consistent 120 mbps down out of it.

 

Looks like the 350Z.... I do like it though. My dream car is a fiero but my realistic dream car is a BRZ/FRS. Although, that new Toyota GT86 is bitchin. There was one in the dealership floor when I was at the table for the tacoma, ±a few hundred bucks off the Tacoma....There was a little bit of me that was saying "Yeah but....What if..."

I do like those new corolla hatches! Realistically my future cars will be a pickup either 1/2 or 1/4 ton and then a hatchback like that.

I had a hatchback mazda 3 GT with the 2.5L. I drove like a dickbag asshat (not like, cutting people off/tailgating). Just fast, fast, and faster. That's actually one thing that clued me toward getting the tacoma instead. There's a 2 lane sort of limited access road on the easy bay down here, 45mph. Mostly people go 55 or so, police don't bat an eye if you go by going 55. One day going down, I think just to the dog park, I came up on someone in the right lane, someone was passing me on the left. I moved over behind them, and then just kept pace with them. I was going ~5-10 faster than the right lane? Then we blew past this dude going way too slow.

Then I looked down. I was keeping up with the dude in front just casually going 80. Might have been 75. Either way. In a 45. 75 in a 45 is not a speeding ticket, that is a "I'm bicycling to work because I have to not because I want to" if you get popped. 395 ticket alone for doing +30. But with that speed potential of reckless driving etc.

Soooo yeah a few months later I was in a tacoma and now I'm back to driving like a grandpa.

 

My Spectrum is so slow in the house that I usually shut wifi off on my phone to be able to download pages.

 

My TDS fiber is faster than what the military uses. I don't even want to post my speeds, you all might be angry with me. However, I pay $119 a month for it alone- it's my only option.

 

Hey @emelianenkov I am trying youtube music. It's weird - all the songs I've listened to so far, I guess the spotify version is like a radio version or something, where the YT version is off the music video or whatever. There's a few where the YT rolls in with birds chirping and shit like that, probably because that's part of the music video. Sirens at the end, etc. that Spotify doesn't have. I did just find a setting to play album versions of songs, so maybe that'll do it. I feel like such an old man - complaining on a truck forum about new fangled technology that these whipersnappers come up with!

 

I wish I could get some fiber. I'm stuck with shitty Comcast

 

$40/month for Fios 200MBPS however when measured I get up to 300 thanks to the nighthawk router and not using theirs

 

for those of you with CB radios, I know many of you typically mount around hood/bed height and get something probably in the 4ft+ height for an antenna, but I plan on mounting mine to the basket above my fiberglass cap.....ya think 2ft is enough or should i spring or the 3ft. I also plan to get one of those folding mounts for a quick lowering of the antenna when needed

 

Something is definitely wrong there!

 

For CB IIRC you want to be in increments of 9ft (wavelength). So i think the min you'd want is 3'.

 

LMGTFY:
The CB portion of the spectrum begins at 25.01 megahertz, so a full wavelength antenna would be a bit more than 39.34 feet long. That's obviously a little long to attach to your bumper, so people tend to use antennas that are a fraction of the wavelength: 1/2, 5/8, 1/4 and 1/8 are all common wavelengths for antennas. In the case of CB, the 1/4 antenna at just under 10 feet long is the common "whip" that you may see on cars and trucks.

 

Weird, I haven't run into that problem, but then again I don't listen to WAP and Tia Tamera on repeat, so I can see where your confusion is coming from!

Hope you like it. I love having access to whatever I want with no ads.

Yeah, well it's Spectrum, so obviously something is wrong!

 

This is mericuh. I don't need no Google, i can just regurgitate questionable information.

 

I do love the no ads thing, past couple days have been pretty awesome with that!

I actually know one of those references! I have no idea who Mrs. Tamera is. And judging by juxtaposition, probably won't be googling that on my work computer/network!

 

I thought it was 8' for radio waves

 

That's a very smart and logical decision you've made. Congratulations, keep your employment

 

That's pretty much all I did. Quick google, copy and paste. No idea how valid that information is

 

I had a NGP Firestik on my 2013 that I could never get to work particularly well. I had no luck with CBs in general. I have a great install for my actual CB, but not a great antenna setup.

I'm gonna have to go with a no from me. Those front fenders remind me of the Spoon S2000 which I never liked. More power is awesome, but I feel like the styling is a step back, rather than a step forward. I wish they'd make it in a targa and give me the Supra hoop. Then we could talk.

They didn't goodwill it? I would think you'd have a case. Was he tuned or stock? What was his oil situation? Frequent changes with good oil?

I'd be more apt to get the disconnect than the folding, unless you plan on using the CB regulary. I had the folding point and I found with it folded the antenna flopped around everywhere. I used to have it velcro-tied to my bed cleat.
