Welcome to the IHoP v.2

[///M5 2,833]

Trying to decide on the S6 or G4. Think I am going to grab an S6 tomorrow and use it for a week and see if I want to keep it.

The S6 has no battery swap, or SD card.......

It's underwhelming and overheating ATM too.

Asside from a glass back, and so maybe design, the G4 should be a better device. Why are you interested in the Sammy at all?

Because I can get it now.

So, I was changing rims and ttires the other day, found a blown axle seal on the pass side. I get the rotor off and discover my parking brake shoes are gone, so I get seals and brake shoes, start pulling th e rear apart to pull axles and find a chipped spider gear. Get the axles out, start pulling the seals and find a bad bearing on the pass side, so a simple tire change turned into a complete rear end rebuild.

That would have been a bucket full of expletives for me.

That's a good reason. I'm convinced I'll drop whatever I get if it's not the phone I want.

No, I have no rational reason for thinking that.

Upgrade!!!???

Erm..

Yeah, still sucks.

I am going to Europe on Saturday and the battery life is horseshit on my Nexus. Half day at best and I don't want to deal with that while gone. Figure I'll try it and see how it is before returning it.

I do prefer the size of it though....but I am comparing it ot the nexus so trying out something more akin size wise for a bit will let me know if I can deal.

Extremely logical.

[dem beats 1,223]

If the new nexus had SD I would probably not even wait for the G4.

Hard to tell.

I want a brown leather one.

I want a brown leather one.

G4 from T Mobil is apparently the exclusive carrier for Brown leather..

That's my plan too actually.

Found my morning tick. Bolt was snapped off on my exhaust manifold.

 

Thanks for that. I have a tick (louder when cold), under even the slightest load, took a look at the manifold and the furthest manifold bolt is gone. And that's where the EGR port is, so besically it's like 2 ports don't have a bolt. I sure hope that's the culprit. 

Figures that when I build a new downpipe, I can take off the turbo, manifold, change the bolt and tap the manifold for an EGT sensor.

That is my kind of luck Ryan.

The camry gets aligned on Tuesday.

All this phone talk must have made mine die over night! I don't want to upgrade!

[nem 2,019]

Currently it is taking a charge, so I will see.

As much as I thought my next car was going to be a cayenne, I might have to get a newer trd pro 4runner made in japan. I have roughly 3 years to make up my mind.

Same one on mine, was surprised it didn't do it all the time. Glad it wasn't in the valvetrain....in particular since I am about to throw some more air at the motor.

I REALLY thought my next car was a Cayenne too, but then I owned a Benz. Of course, then I bought the Big Ugly.

Time to carry USB power battery?

I do, but pain in the ass. EVERY train station in Asia has them for sale with AA batts that are about the same price as the batteries, lol.

And fuck you photobucket. 150mb for a vid file limit UNLESS you do it on a mobile device? Then don't allow it to work on a mobile device? WTF!

What good is doing a hill climb on an elliptical if the fucker breaks on you! The connecting shaft from the roller arm to the foot pad arm broke!

[nem 2,019]

Going to have to make a new one much beefer of course.

I've never seen a hillclimb on an elliptical. This is a hill climb:
