Yeah I primarily use it to see if I'm going ham on the A/C or if there's a mechanical issue.

Coffee And Pie posted:To continue my 'time traveler from the 80s' streak, I wanted a cool hoodie, so I got one on eBay. "This summer, watch as Dan and Dave battle it out in Barcelona for the title of World's Greatest Athlete" PCOS Bill posted:No, for purchasing a piece of poo poo with a Jeep badge. Just curious, legitimately, what is it in particular that quantifies the distinction? I mean, I understand that it has a CVT and an inline four, so it's not as powerful relatively speaking, and the longevity of the early CVTs is not well established, but extra power is not necessarily something I really ever need, and the trade-off is higher mpg, honestly even slightly better than my Nissan Altima, so I'm actually pretty happy with the powertrain combination. I one hundred percent understand that there are much better vehicles out there. But I was able to buy this for what the dealer had offered, which was not even half the price of comparable vehicles which had three times the mileage.

I guess a big mpg change could tip you off to adeveloping mechanical issue, but for whatever reason every car in I've owned the check engine light pops on if I fart too loudly and then a $15 code reader lets me know what happened.

The only pair of SAXX I have I got off whiskey militia for like $5, but that site got merged into their other deal site steep and cheap. Here's a link to a SAXX search if anyone wants it. https://www.steepandcheap.com/Store/catalog/search.jsp?q=saxx&s=u Edit: as is usually the case with these kind of sites the best deals are on the really abnormal sizes they're just trying to dump, but I figure if anyone is in the market for really sexy XXL underwear it's goons. Double Edit: Oh! I bought this:

Dick Trauma posted:Back around 1980 when I was in full X-Men comic book mode I was at the comic book shop and had that one in my hand but thought "Naww... Wolverine looks so dumb here." $650 and it's not even in great condition. It looks decent enough but the price is blacked out, the pages are browning at the bottom and the "Marvel Value Stamp" inside was cut out then restored back into it. This whole comic grading system that popped up around 2000 has really thrown me for a loop because I didn't know a thing about it until recently. Now I've had to learn all the different categories and I'm really unsure what this will get graded as. The guy who sold it to me was the original owner and he's interested to know what it gets once I get it graded, but I'm not sure if it's worth getting the subscription and paying the cost just to grade one comic, and the only other ones I have from the 80s/90s are only worth about $100. I recently found an old Wizard magazine at my parents house from December '92 and it listed this as being worth like $250 I think. I see ones on ebay with a bunch of signatures go for $20k+, and the writer just died a couple weeks ago.

What I saw a poster in AI say was essentially "It's a shame that people buy the Liberty, patriot or Compass because they associate them with the older Jeeps (but they're worse.)" I work with a lady who has one of them and I kind of want to mention it to her but I also kind of don't, as I'd be impugning her taste, the taste of her husband who I really like, etc. By way of comparison, check out this funny quote explaining why your Altima was (probably) also not a great car, through no fault of your own: an oddly awful oud posted:Nissans are marketed almost exclusively to subprime car buyers and are utter crap next to all their competition. They're the FCA of Japanese brands: dreary, shoddy plastic garbage with obsolescent engines, hateful transmissions, and suspension and chassis engineering that feels like every bushing is made of soft-serve. Altimas and Maximas are driven exclusively by people who can't afford a lovely BMW, but still want to weave through traffic and change lanes without signaling. If you're driving down a strip mall and suddenly feel a profound lash of depression, it's probably because there's a Nissan dealer nearby. They tried to build a front-wheel-drive LeMans car, missed the first three races, and managed to run exactly one (1) race with it before giving up. They turned the Pathfinder into a crossover to complement their crossover designed specifically for retirees (the Murano). Sitting in a Versa causes cancer and makes dogs commit suicide. Carlos Ghosn fired a superlaser and a million 300ZX TTs, R32 GT-Rs, and Sentra SE-Rs suddenly cried out and were then silenced, and now you can pay $1900 to put some Star Wars badges on your Rogue which helpfully comes with a helmet because they assume you're either a retard or ashamed to be driving it and want to hide your face. They looked at what happened to Mitsubishi since the 1990s and said "yes, I'll have some of that".

I had an Altima as a rental once and I wondered if I did something to offend the rental agent who assigned it to me. The next rental I got was a Patriot from the same company/agent, and I knew I must have been a dick to them in the past.

I work with a lady who has one of them and I kind of want to mention it to her but I also kind of don't, as I'd be impugning her taste, the taste of her husband who I really like, etc. I understand that Nissan isn't on the same engineering and build quality level as Honda, but I just have to say that it's been a pretty drat good car to me. My Altima is up to 230,000 miles, and in the four years since I've owned it, I haven't had to put any major maintenance in besides new tires, headlight bulbs, a coolant flush, and regular oil changes. For an eight hundred dollar car with a salvage title, that's pretty drat liberating. I mean, really, for all the poo poo posting on specific cars, I'd just like to know why, because without anything to point to other than broad generalisations, it's pretty meaningless other than a hollow feeling of dick waving superiority I guess. Like, is the transmission a bad design? Is there some horrible defect that'll cause the airbags to prematurely deploy? (Besides that being basically every car on the road because everyone bought the same drat parts from the same drat supply chain) I'm not trying to be a dick, I'd just love to know that hey, in sixty thousand miles the CVTs tend to eat the belts on X model X year. Or that Dodge uses factory OEM zip ties. E: Even if the older Jeeps are somehow quantifiably better, I'm still not exactly eager to drive something that is liable to drive the steering column through my chest on the first fender bender. Plus, you know, things like catalytic converters are nice, not to having to choke on noxious fumes in traffic Catatron Prime has a new favorite as of 02:08 on Sep 22, 2017 |

I've been working on Jeeps for 10 years so I'll speak up. The Patriots get a lot of poo poo about "not real jeeps" because they have an inline 4cyl co-developed by Hyundai and Mitsubishi that is paired to a CVT which isn't great for heavy off roading, but that probably isn't what you got it for anyway. The early Patriots also had really lovely interior but at one point were redesigned to have a much better one. It was Jeeps push to have more fuel efficient and inexpensive rigs which some of the crabby older guys don't like. I personally don't see a ton of problems with them other than they love to eat wheel bearings.

And could a bent axle cause wheel bearings to wear out quickly? My alignment is hosed and the shop said they can't fix it because the rear axle has a crack but they wanted like $1400 for a new one + labor. My left rear tire makes a loud clanking sound when I hit a bump or apply brakes.
