You know after all the posts and pictures about seafoam making a huge cloud of smoke I'm a little disappointed all I got was a few weak puffs. Maybe I did it wrong.

Also it has weird T shaped frame rails that are currently being bent by the borrowed donut its laying on so the rotor wouldnt die when the lovely jack inevitably fails. On the bright side, my jeep hit a new 0-60 record today: 35 seconds.

Brigdh posted:Slime and an airpump. A spare was a dealer option. Welcome to modern cars Sadly true. A lovely jack and an 8 inch long tire iron that doubles as the jack handle are all it comes with. You have to buy the pump and slime separately. Not that it would have helped much in this case. The scissor blade didnt go in straight and cut a gash about 2 inches long. There was maybe 60 seconds from me hearing the noise to the tire being completely flat. Whatever. Road damage warranty covered it.

I'd wash a car for 40 bucks. It only takes an hour or so.

Everyone hates getting up early on the weekend. If it's like every other business it'll be fairly quick to get in and out at 8 am. At least that's been my experience with the dmv and county clerks office.
