Arizona and Texas are temporarily allowing the use of off-road dyed diesel because it’s tax-free and cheaper because of how high the prices are

I saw a map of the places, but a lot of them don’t have phone numbers. The only one I was able to get in contact with was for fleet vehicles only

Has anyone done this before, or know about any that are for the public to use?

I’m in midtown

I have this buddy who has a first GEN Tacoma

I met him about a year ago and he’s been having alignment issues for a while

Slowly, he has replaced pretty much everything in the suspension system

He finally got what he thought would be the last alignment for a while and sure enough about 3000 miles later his brand new tires are already worn unevenly and are starting to show metal bands

I really started to think about it and I checked his wheel bearings. They are fine.

The only other thing I could think of is his car is on smaller wheels. Every time I see other ones like his they’re higher up. I think he might even have spacers in there as well.

He bought it like this, but I’m thinking that this has to be contributing to it or maybe even them trying to align it to a stock spec with these wheels might be the issue

The last shop he went to to get an alignment said some real dumb shit in my opinion. trying to say it’s his brakes that are causing it, but he has discs in the front and drum in the rear

Has anyone else experienced this or have any advice?

TLDR
28m dating a 36f. Pregnant first time she had sex. Had another child at 24. Up until then described herself as disconnected. Found herself exploring her own relationship with her self, sex, masturbation, tantra etc. as I have seen is common for many people. Especially women as men can be very selfish during sex. Said she was worried about throwing up but hasn’t at all with me

I’ve been seeing this amazing woman for about 8 months now. It was originally supposed to be casual but we have gotten very close

I could tell from the second date she had been hurt in the past. After 6 weeks she told me she was a mom. She had gotten pregnant at 16, the first time she had sex. She was in a small rural town where abortion wasn’t really an option. She had the child and they tried to make it work but after a couple years the guy kept cheating and they broke up. He then went pretty heavy, calling all the lawyers so she couldn’t use them. He had a big family and they supported him so he got custody. This broke her for sure and she spent the following years finding herself.

At 24 she had another child with her partner at the time. Things got worse after the pregnancy, then when the kid was 5 she found him messaging other younger women. She said she had already left once due to intimacy issues and him being jealous of the attention the child received

Up until then described herself as disconnected. Found herself exploring her own relationship with her self, sex, masturbation, tantra etc. as I have seen is common for many people. Especially women as men can be very selfish during sex. She said he never really satisfied her and it was all about him. I always ask her how something feels, I love going down on her, never ask for oral sex etc. I have seen and heard from her how this has changed her feelings about things. One of the many ways we have healed each other and benefited each other

After that she wrote off ever having more children. She had to move from the Midwest to the southwest for her mom and because her grandpa passed. Dated someone a few years later who was a male to female (transitioned). They turned out to be an alcoholic and had bi polar which she knew nothing about

We have been getting closer and closer. I think she’s incredible. We align in so many ways, and it’s nice to be with someone who is so passionate, curious and alive

Recently she told me she would throw up almost every time she had sex in later years. And that it hasn’t happened with me. I expressed how that must have been tough, not only to have that happen but also to worry about it happening.

Recently we had a deep talk and she cried. Told me she has felt unworthy in the past and for the first time admitted to me that after the second child and then the relationship with the trans person that she was done with serious relationships. I think we have been good for each other in many ways. It’s been really nice after I have had a rough life, dad left and I had to take care of elderly mom. Got into drugs, was severely depressed. Didn’t date for 7 years after high school. Got my shit together, got on hormone replacement and started to live again

I’m 28 and she’s 36. I get shit from two of my friends who say I need to stop dating older women. I have had a thing for older women if I’m being honest but hadn’t actually dated them until recently. I just seem to get along better with them. We are both so comfortable with each other. I had to have a serious talk with one of my buddy’s because he makes her out to be something she is not and saying she’s going to take advantage. It’s the opposite. I haven’t met her daughter yet, we both want to take that slow. In my opinion she’s not perfect but she’s damn near close to my ideal woman

I have read this could be endometriosis but she has a very good relationship with her period. In fact she loves it and told me she did some writing about how when she eventually stops menstruating it will be very emotional for her. She’s curious about why she was like that. We both like to think it’s because I have been careful, loving and understanding with her. That she feels safe with me. But I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this

I moved here last summer. Have had family here and visited many times. Other family is also up in PHX area. Decided to get out of New England and give it a shot

I have heard from many people about hit and runs when I moved here. I moved from CT and it happens more now over the last few years but still not that common

Sure enough last week I am at a light, deep in thought. Go to drink my shake and boom, flys out of my hand and all spills over the place

I was so stunned I wasn’t really thinking. Hindsight is always 20/20 so trying not to beat myself up. Should have put my hazards out and got out right there recording him

I saw him in his car. I was driving a work van with no rear glass but saw him with his turn signal on in the side mirror, looking like he was following me to pull over. I went through the intersection to the closest spot to pull over

This happened at 1st and east roger. Closest spot was the coin wash

As soon as I went through the intersection to turn into the coin wash he dipped onto Roger

I am calm naturally but I saw red and went after him. He was in an SUV. I’m not kidding this guy was flying. I am a very experienced driver. But there is only so much you can do in a van. I had him for 3 streets and then lost him

He was stirring up dust.

After the second street I calmed myself and realized it’s not my car. It’s a work vehicle. I’m not going to total it and possibly hurt someone

I’m not kidding he was doing probably close to 80. I was far from that and couldn’t believe how he was driving.

Was waiting for him to flip or hit someone.

My bosses were very kind about it. Told me they would pay for any medical stuff and if I needed time off that was okay. The damage wasn’t that bad, looking at having the rear doors replaced and I know a good amount about that so I’m assisting

But man it made me soooo mad. Pretending to pull over then taking off like that. A full grown man. In an SUV too smh. A big heavy vehicle with high bumper height

Thankfully someone also followed, they didn’t get his plate but said they saw him on his phone when he hit me. I just appreciated them checking on me and also trying to get his plate

So I guess I need to really watch out now. I ride a motorcycle too and I’m constantly looking in the rear at lights for this reason.

I have a pretty rare car as my daily driver and if someone took that from me, oof. I would be furious and heartbroken

Not going to name the business I work for as my bosses might not want that but it’s a very well known and beloved Tucson business. Very community oriented.

We have been considering wrapping the van and I was thinking it might actually help deter this from happening. Either from the person thinking twice before running or having surrounding people react more and take photos/help assist. But hey who knows

Be careful out there

My friend who runs a rental asked if I could stop by to check the dishwasher as a guest said it wasn’t working.

I arrived and it had no power. Checked breakers and they were fine. Cycled them anyway. Nothing. Pulled the dishwasher out and the wire was fine. Followed it through the cabinets and saw it was plugged in. Four outlets total. Swapped it to the garbage disposal socket which I confirmed works. Nothing. Unplugged it and put the disposal back in it’s socket, then the dishwasher back where its socket is

Then it powered on?

It is working now. I told her it should be okay but it’s 9 years old and probably on its way out. I tried to do a bit of reading and it seems like it could be a certain type of fuse, corrosion of the board or UI failure

Was curious if anyone else has experienced this

Having trouble finding the right part for this. You can hear the motor working but the rear right window is loose.

I can’t seem to find the right part, could I get one for an e46 m3 convertible ? I’m only finding the 325i motors
