I threw mine out last time I moved, and it was probably sitting at around 15 years and half full at the time.

I don't use anti-seize or copper paste. I might lightly grease surfaces using ordinary yellowish fat.

I gave my bottle of anti-seize away when I left New York and moved back to Florida  I did recently finish a bottle of brake grease tho, that lasted me a good ten years probably, the brush was all hosed up and pretty useless by the time I chucked it. What's funny is I need to do the rear brakes on my Scion but I don't want to buy another big bottle again since I don't work on shitboxes much anymore. Guess I'll just buy a little tube of it this time lol

Is this available? What's your bottom dollar? Will you take trades? 2500 in case it's not 100% clear, these are all things people have said to me in the last week on Facebook Marketplace. 2500 is 38% of my listed price at the moment

I don't even bother replying. Another reason why I have a burner phone for the odd time I sell/buy poo poo. What's worse: Lowball trolls? Sellers that don't advertise a price or just as $1 and 1234 mileage?

Sellers who put “if the ad is up, it’s still available” and then get pissed that you messaged after it was sold. You left the ad up!

https://i.imgur.com/1PqY4PZ.mp4 Marketplace is a numbers game, don't put any effort into anyone who seems to be playing around, not worth the hassle. Just delete and move on. Is this available is just a default button response, so yeah you'll see these a lot, easy enough to just shoot back a yes, ya, yah, y, yup, or whatever else you want. What's your bottom dollar is lazy negotiation. I usually just respond with the listed price minus $100 or whatever. I always list a little high as it's expected to haggle down, and some people suck at haggling so I'll throw them a small bone here and I've had people agree and buy at prices higher than I thought I would actually get. Will you take trades is 99.9999% a time waster. Just a number is a low effort low-ball, only respond if you find it entertaining to do so. Otherwise just imagine you never got that message.

Last night I was out on my deck and heard a big crash, then saw a truck towing a trailer way too fast down the street (trailer was going airborne over bumps) Turns out the crash was him ramming my garbage can.  Thanks dude!

I had some kid troll me when I was selling some fishing stuff, lowballing and trying to be funny asking dumb questions so I played along for a bit before deleting it Turns out it was one of my son's buddies from school and he had no idea, he was just randomly trolling and my son was like uh that's my dad

I'll get lowballed on poo poo I'm not even selling! Some rando showed up in a smashed up tesla to buy some biodiesel processing equipment a month or two ago. Dude was oogling the bricknose pretty hard. Hard enough that my buddy came and got me to talk about it. Dude seemed very into it, knew what it was, etc. Cue the text chains. He starts to vacillate over text. worried about rust (lol it's from Hayward, CA). Offers me 5 grand. What I paid for it when I dragged it out of a field 8 years ago. I just ghosted em after sending craigslist links for what would be a 5k dollar truck. Ones missing significant parts and not running/driving. For hilarity sake just the turbocharging of this (5k dollar) engine was 5k. Nevermind the rest of the work. It's in the parkinglot at the shop waiting to move the next new project. Gonna need to be many multiples of 5k hungrier than 5k to take that thing off my hands.

My son has given him a bunch of stuff over the years, all the kids in his school that fish know each other and they trade and give each other stuff all the time. Lures, hooks, extra rods and reels and stuff if someone needs it. I guess he felt bad about trolling me but he wasn't being a dick or anything so I didn't care, I thought it was hilarious

trilobite terror posted:think about your dad My friend and I were both kids of divorce, and both our dads lived in the same town about 30 miles away from where we did. Same neighborhood, just blocks away actually, but they didn't know each other or who any of our friends or anything. That's the kind of relationship we had. Once when I was in the 5th grade, I went and visited my buddy while he was at his dad's for visitation, it must have been over spring break. My own dad had no idea I was in town, had no reason to expect me, and I didn't reach out to let him know. That's the kind of relationship we had. Anyway, my friend and I walked over to my dad's place while he was at work, got inside and turned all the lights on and the TV, opened the cupboards and closet doors, took the phone off the hook, poured a bowl of cereal and left it, ran a tub of water and threw towels in it, basically did everything we could think of short of actually trashing or destroying anything. Locked up, re-hid the spare key and left. He never spoke of it to me, but I remember hearing him tell a friend about the time his house got broken into. He moved 2,000 miles away when I was in 7th grade, so I feel it was pretty good timing on my part.

Getting ready to go to work today, what a nice spring day! So I'm borrowing my parents car ('98 Mazda 626) that has studded tires still. It's parked at my house because they are out of country. Odometer ticked over 440,000km recently. I can see why they're getting ready for a new car, has lots of real old car issues. Vibrations, vinyl cracking and a host of small issues that add up. If it was a car you really liked, nothing unfixable. But it's not plus it's getting rust on the doors now. Just five years ago it was quite a different car in feel.

Hauled rear end across the country to shack up with his side piece. At least I learned from him what not to do and I have a great relationship with my son.

I wonder if he realised that absolutely nothing was taken and got even more weirded out.

I’ve got a Fiat Jeep and it has been astoundingly trouble free. It’s got the tigershark and everything. Have never had to do anything except change fluids and plugs over the past 70k miles.

Darchangel posted:I'd just like to state how much I hate that a 1998 is an "old car"... Well IMO it's old because of mileage rather than age alone. My 1990 Saab feels way more fresh and it's at 287,000km, but I am giving it all the attention. And my Yaris '07 almost equals their mazda in mileage but it still feels like it always did, except possibly more air sounds.

Currently seeing just how far you can get out of the battery of an unrestricted Specialized Creo 63 kms, burned 36% battery so far. Might be able to go a lot further than expected

I had to look it up quote:The Haval Jolion was first shown at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show in October as a successor of the H2. The Chinese name pronounces "Chulian" and means "first love" in Chinese.
