So I take my happy ass to 86Speed and get myself a new exhaust from HKS. Page says "In Stock" cool, I order it. I notice that after two weeks the order still says "Processing". Ask sales about it, it turns out that is technically not in stock, but being manufactured and due to shipping containers being delayed, I won't see it until maybe late June. This is one thing I can't understand from some stores, why claim that your items are in stock, ready to be shipped, when the vendor really just acts as the middle man between you and the manufacturer. It would make more sense to look at logistics and say, I dont know " We usually get X amount or orders for this particular part, we should order them in bulk to have them ready, that way people don't cancel their orders on us", or have some sort of disclaimer like they do on headers/turbos stating that the order goes directly to the manufacturer and there's an X amount of wait time. I understand the current situation and I can wait, I love 86speed because they are usually really fast, but this time I'm just let a little bummed about having to find out the hard way.

Yeah I don't even bag my grass. I just have a mulch blade on the mower. I don't even bag my leaves. I rake them out as evenly as possible and then mulch them too. My soil is so nutritional I get all kinds of different mushrooms thoughout the season. Grass and garden also grow great.

Depending on the type of grass you have you can just mulch it with a mulching blade as suggested. I've also used it by mulching it, but collecting it in the catcher and spreading it out around bushes in our back yard around the fence line.

My last house had a trash policy of 8 bags or bins up to a certain size, doesn't matter what is in them. A lot of people put their grass and leaves in with that. |

I don't bother to rake leaves. I mulch and catch them with the mower then either spread them out in a "natural" tree area or bag them in lawn bags and leave them at the curb. It's amazing how compact leaves get when you mulch them.

Man, hope you leave traction control on during those situations.

Not sure what people picture when they deal with these highly specialized places but they are not Amazon. That said, they should make it more clear when they actually do have something "in stock" as apposed to having to order it.

Look at all those green thumbs out here... I'm jack of all trades, but green thumb is one skill I never got. I even killed 4 cactus and 2 mint plants.
