I yelled out "HEY YOU HIT MY CAR!" and she yelled back "I DON'T CARE!" and drove away. It was too dark to get her plate or I sure as poo poo would have had her drunk rear end picked up. People loving suck and I can't wait until movement activated dashcams are standard in cars. I have an almost 13 year old Corolla that I have taken great pains to keep in good shape over the years. I know its just a fuckin Corolla, and I know its almost old enough to drive itself, but it was the first car that I ever bought brand new, and I still want to keep it looking good for as long as I own it. However long that may be and I still park it far away from whatever store I happen to be going to, or try to keep it as far away from other cars as I can if I do have to park close to (something) because I really hate the fact that some fuckers are just going to be like "oh poo poo, I just opened my door in to that car, oh well, I don't care". Go gently caress yourself for just being all like "well I just tap them a little bit" or whatever. I hope some motherfucker just rams the gently caress out of your (parallel "parking tapper" OP) bumper and is all like "oh well, no witnesses guess I'm ok" and leaves.

I hope you find something soon. After I dropped my deposit, I started looking around and found the same one as I ordered, but it was at a dealer a 2 day drive away. I strongly considered a plane ticket, a refund on my deposit and a cheque for the amount, but I decided against it. I don't know where you are, but I'll assume the US somewhere. Have you considered looking out of state? Inventories are low as I'm sure you know, but chances are some dealer has what you want, unless its a TRD pro model. I tried to get one of those, but they said that they were hard to come by, and even harder to find in Manual Trans.

He bought it without using financing (it's a good time to have bought a new truck in 2018 and only drive it 700 miles a year), and they "disabled" the GPS tracker and didn't charge for it, but wouldn't remove it. It took two business days for them to call and report a problem with the diagnostic systems in the SUV he owned after we removed it and pulled the battery + SIM. So they "disabled" that poo poo, and when you and/or your dad actually DID disable or remove it or whatever, the dealer called and were all like "hey we notice there is a problem with your car"?

I don't know about where you are, but around my area (Ontario, Canada) you can't get a loan*** for a used car thats more than 5 years old. Or you couldn't as of several years ago. Might be different now/ where you are, but you might want to check that out. *** From a legit bank or credit union. I'm sure Vinnie's payday loans and pasta will give you a 19.99% loan for that 6000 dollar 2001 Hyundai Excel E: Also, 17k for a used car will probably actually get you something better than a 17k new car. wesleywillis fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Oct 8, 2021 |

Unless you want to become Mr plow, just pay someone to do it for you, or do the alternatives like you mentioned. Get a decent kawn tractor with plow/thrower or a walk behind. It's a huge pain to hook up a plow 5-6 times in a year, and just as much hassle to daily a vehicle with a plow attached to it. If you really want a plow truck and only plan on using it for your own driveway, get a 500 dollar beater truck and post a thread in ai about how this fuckin piece of poo poo won't start and your driveway is covered with 2feet of snow.

I've kinda wondered how bad the plow on the front would be WRT blocking airflow to the transmission cooler. I suppose if you have a decent aftermarket cooler it might not be a big deal, but otherwise I see it as: you're creating way more heat and airflow is being somewhat blocked by a big metal thing, and even though its winter, the ambient temps might not be enough to keep things from overheating.

Mr Interweb posted:i mentioned a few pages ago i was planning on buying my friend's 2012 toyota prius 2 (150k miles). but what do you guys think of this? I watched long enough for the ads to almost be finished before I made up my mind. In other words, I did not watch the actual video itself. What is your definition of the worst car ever built? What is his definition of worst car ever built? Car weirdos are a weird bunch, and if something isn't fast enough, exciting enough, handle well enough or some other "enough" then car weirdos might think it sucks. If you're looking for an exciting driving experience, then maybe a prius is the worst car ever. If you're looking for something thats reliable and fuel efficient, then a prius will be fine despite the fact that someone with a whole bunch of youtube likes thinks that its the worst car ever.

Paid 100 bucks, or 150 bucks to a car buying service, got my '21 Tacoma for about 1500 less than MSRP. Had to wait about 3 1/2 months for it to show up, but I wasn't in a hurry. Around my area it was "car loses 30-40% of its value the moment you drive it off the lot". I found that true for people that bought piles of poo poo like Cavaliers and Sunfires, Neons etc.. Also, most of the people that screamed about that were the types who said "RAWWWRR!!! I'll never buy a NEW car cause -40% value when you drive it off the lot". Then they go and buy a new car, and when I call them out on it, its always "  yeah well, you know, I'm a good negotiator I taught that salesman that I don't play games! I'm the boss in that transaction so I got the best deal and thats why I can buy new and get a good deal"

I got my Tacoma for about 1100 ish below msrp back in July (well, the deal happened in April, picked up in July) through a car buying service. Cost me about 150 bucks or so for the service. Dealer experience was pretty awful though. The lady who "sold" it to me was nice, but she left the dealer to go work somewhere else (no big deal TBH) during the time between when it was ordered and the time it showed up. An email saying "hey, I'm moving to different place, (new salesperson) will be taking care of you so please direct any questions/concerns to them" would have been good I guess. At least one of my emails between me and her was CC'd to the sales manager, so I emailed him when the delivery time was getting close. He passed me off to a salesman who didn't bother getting in touch with me until I had emailed him like 3 times and then emailed the sales manager back saying I hadn't heard from (sales guy). Within minutes, of bitching to the sales manager via email I get a call from the salesman. I asked him about some dealer installed parts and he said he'd get back to me. Didn't. Emailed him so I'd have a record of it, and he called me a day later saying quote:"parts are unavailable from Toyota" quote:"my warehouse shows several kits in stock, and we have one here as well" Well, all of a sudden "oh yeah, looks like we can get the parts after all hah!! Sorry about that". One day they called me and were all like "yeah we're still not sure when it will be here" so I didn't rush to get insurance for it. That was on a Thursday. That Saturday I get a call "your truck is ready to be picked up, when will you be here"? Oh for gently caress sake!!! Guy from work drove me up there the next Saturday to pick it up at 11 in the morning and the fuckin sales guy was over an hour late. Had to sit there like a jerkoff waiting for him. gently caress Brampton East Toyota.

Back when I had my old Mazda, it was: Air filter cleaning (K&N), plugs, wires, PCV valve, cap and rotor. Fuel filter was a real motherfucker to change so I did that like every 3rd "tune up" or so. I'm sure in the older days it was like the other goon said, points, condensor, setting the dwell, adjusting timing and whatnot.JnnyThndrs posted:Injector cleaning is one of those things that some people(both pros and DIY-ers) swear by, and other people think is largely useless. I fall into the ‘it’s mostly a placebo’ category, but I don’t feel strongly enough to argue about it. FWIW, I had the dealer try to sell me a service for my '09 Corolla. I forget how they described it, "injector flushing and 'de-carbonization' of combustion chamber" or some poo poo like that. As one who is fairly skeptical of such things I didn't bother for a while, after they started trying to sell it to me, which was I think about 160,000km (100,000 miles). I figured that a can of seafoam or other injector cleaner every so often was good enough. At a certain point I got sick of them recommending it to me. This was probably somewhere about 200,000km so I had it done, and I have to admit, while very skeptical that it would do anything it did clear up a bunch of shaking that the engine/car would do when I came to a stop. If I was coming to a stop sign, or traffic light etc, I'd throw the car in neutral, let out the clutch and as the engine rpm dropped, it would go way down, start shaking and shuddering for several seconds before going back up and there were other times when it would randomly happen just sitting stopped like at a drive thru or places like that. It would never stall, but it would shake and shudder. As skeptical as I was about the service, I noticed as soon as I picked up the car, that that stopped immediately. I know this is purely anecdotal, but thats how it happened for me.

Grumpwagon posted:Is a 3rd gen Prius still the go to for a cheap (well, cheap for this market), low maintenance driving appliance? My sister's car (2008 Suzuki SX4) has just become salvage, and she's looking for something cheap and reliable to replace it with. She doesn't have high standards (see, Suzuki), can drive a manual, and wants something low maintenance and easy to park in Chicago (so, small). Civics, Corollas, Mazda 3 are decent small cars available with manuals (if she still wants one) fuel efficient and reliable. In that price range though, you're probably stuck with stuff thats 10+ years old. Particularly in the plague times. It might seem like a kick to the crotch, but take the prius to a mechanic, have it gone over thoroughly and if the mechanic pronounces it good, then maybe you're best off just getting that. 100K on it is like "a lot, but not that much". Getting another hundred thousand out of it will be easy if she takes reasonable care of it.
