If you are getting a refund, you have failed. Why give the goberment a free no interest loan that you might not get repaid in a timely manner?

 

 

I agree with this, I was not expecting a refund. The past few years I've always been like $40 in either direction. I don't know why it happened, I didn't think moving and paying a state income tax (NH has none) would change things but I guess it did.

Sorry about my part in that, but enough is enough. The world is full of hate and anger, this forum doesn't need to be. Back on topic. Hoping to get either a new bed or couch, whichever the wife wants, of course.

Long ago, when I was a self contractor, I put the money aside and paid at EOY. Once employed, I just let payroll folks figure it out. I always get a refund, which is fine. Worrying about pennies lost in "interest" is a fools game.

 

Edit: not calling anyone a fool! just a figure of speech...

If I may be so blatant as to call someone out and get warning points, why is this guy ^ always bashing everyone and puking his hatred down people's throats? I get a small refund because I don't want to owe and I guess I can't get my deductions just perfect like the yoo hoo above me. Besides, I live in the greatest freakin' country in the world, so if Uncle Sam wants to borrow money from me for a year I'm okay with that. Yes, I know, get it every week and put it in savings earning interest. Right. With a wife and eleven year old in tae kwon do, guitar, violin, swimming, dance and gymnastics I always have extra for savings. I guess that makes me a "failure".

 

 

Just ignore the troll. It's just Won being Won

All I have to say is that this forum is starting to go downhill with all of the trolling. :(

This will be first year I haven't had to pay in in over 8 years. So thanks to my daughter being born last year, we are getting a relatively small amount back but never the less it will be paid torward some debt we owe.

That's great. I wasn't saying it's a bad idea to manage taxes to your benefit, only that worrying about it is (for most folks, including me).

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
