Mornin' folks!:tiphat:TGIF!!!:happydance:

Holy Sh!t, we made it - End of the Week!

Happy Weekend's Eve!

:hello:

3 day weekend.....:tup:

Things to do this weekend:

1. Change oil in the Z
2. Monthly battery tender hook up for Z
3. Playstation all weekend

man, what a fricken week.. im gonna drink a cold one in honor of it.

:ugh2::ugh2::ugh2::ugh2:

:confused::confused::confused::confused:

1. Gotta change the oil in the Z, since it's been in there for about 1.5 year (about 100 miles on the current oil).
2. Don't want the battery to die due to not driving it, so I hook it up once a month to a battery tender to keep the charge/discharge.
3. COD FTW!

Reading up on the latest with crypto (but taking the media with a grain of salt). IMO, it's literally the same scenario that led up to the housing market crash in the late 2000s, but on a much smaller scale.

All my co-workers laughed at me for not getting into it. "The greater the risk, the greater the reward." Yes, the potential to make bank was there, but crypto is such a volatile investment that is not regulated, and that's what kept me away.

To make money on it. You had to get in it at the very beginning. This idiot Bankman, with what he did. People are saying that he should go to jail. They are saying that this will be bigger than the Enron scandal.

i dont like it duude.

:happydance:

a happy early thanksgiving and a safe travels to you sir.

Changed the oil 1.5 year later and with approx. 100 miles on the oil. Oil had a dark honey color and no signs of sludge. 5 quarts came out and 5 quarts went in. Was going to install a magnetic drain bolt, but figured this would mess with the temps per 16SportZ.

While under the car, I noticed that there was clutch fluid collecting in the bottom engine tray instead of leaking inside the tranny bell like I originally thought.

On a side note, Castrol apparently discontinued Magnatec, so switched to Castrol Edge. Given that not all the oil will be drained from the engine and with a bit left over inside, I'm assuming it's okay to have a different type of oil mix with the residual oil in the engine?

where the pics at duude?

:worthless:

:icon17:

Pics of doing the oil change?

The thread below isn't mine, but the pictures within are identical to the process:

Happy Tuesday (Friday's Eve) Everyone!

My take is it’s less like the housing bubble crash of 2008 and much more like the dot com bust of 2000. Prior to the dot com bust, any shitbag company with a .com in their name was getting massive capital investment and IPOs were premature and super overvalued. Most companies were bleeding $$$ with the philosophy of rapid growth to hell with any semblance of fundamentally sound business plans etc. we were in an era of easy money and therefore the market and investors were as per usual in these type of times, reckless. All bubbles burst and the chaff was separated and discarded from the wheat. Remember pets.com. Also remember starrtups like Amazon and google etc. the companies with real value and good business practices with product or services that provide something survived. They went thru a period where their valuations were really depressed and it was an incredible buying opportunity.

Same is happening in the crypto space now. We are seeing the bubble burst bc $$$ isn’t cheap anymore and speculative investments are the first to crater. A lot of crypto will go the way of pets.com but the few with real utility and/or value will survive and for a while be cheap to invest in.

The lack of SEC regulation in the crypto space is (hopefully) coming to an end. Anyone who actually believed the powerful forces (central banks, billionaires, banking system, USA GOVT, etc) would let their system be upended by crypto in some libertarian wet dream fantasy were fools and stupid in all honestly. At this point in time iiirc the only SEC compliant crypto investment vehicle is a bitcoin futures etf. We will eventually see a SPOT etf once regulators clamp down, and when that happens it will begin to grow again but the shitcoins and retarded nfts will be gone.

There is no secret to building wealth. Anyone can do it by regular investment in an intelligently set up portfolio of stocks, bonds and a long term focus. Get rich quick is code for lose it all overnight. It takes DECADES of investing regularly to hit your targets but it’s not easy but very straightforward. Discipline and an iron will are all that’s necessary.

I responded in the other thread you posted in about needing a z mechanic. I think it was the fl thread iirc.

Hey all. I'm finalizing the 2023 calendar tonight and wanted to see if anyone else wanted one before I submit the order. Shoot me an email if interested: tracie@apexatxmedia.com

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Good comparison. And your point on the lack of regulation is the reason I compared the crypto meltdown to the housing bubble. Before the housing crash and before the government bailouts, mortgage lending was not regulated (and if it was, no where near to what it is now). There were a bunch of toxic MBS’s where borrowers had multiple mortgages they didn’t qualify for, coupled with predatory lending practices. Remember Lehman Brothers? They mass-liquidated their securities before the crash.

With crypto being on a global scale, not sure how this could be regulated. Even if there was 1 universal policy, different countries will have different thresholds and, unless it was one of those policies of “this is it – take it or leave it”, IMO I think it would be impossible for everyone to come to a meeting of the minds.


Thanks man! I'll take a look

See @bove, I’m all discombobulated.
