My Hondas were very good to me but I never want to hear that starter sound again.

I have now two paid-off cars, soon to be a paid off house and no debt. Why the gently caress am I looking at Lotus Elises on autotrader? God, I'm loving stupid. E:aww, I found my old miata on autotrader :-( Poor thing looks like nobody loved it in the past year and it's all dusty and gross. Now I'm sad I sold it.

Basically a politer way to say "gently caress off". Edit: also I just realized he mentioned head gaskets in reference to an RX-7, this poor fucker

When I sold my SVX I let one guy have a mechanic look it over and it was a complete waste of time. They almost always have a completely unrealistic expectations of what is acceptable on a cheap sports car and are going to get scared regardless of what the mechanic says.

That sounds like the best time to get an Elise  Finding your old cars for sale is an odd one. I found my old Volvo once, it's gone at least 30-40k miles since I sold it. Pham Nuwen posted:Can you tell him that since it's not insured or registered, you're not going to drive it to a shop, and if he wants it done he can have it trailered over or get a mechanic who does house calls? Yeah this is about as far as I'd go in this situation. I wasted a bunch of time with some jackass who insisted on having a mechanic look over my old Ranger, and freaked out when they gave him a list a mile long to make a $2500 truck with nearly 200k miles on it "like new". In hindsight, I should've asked him for a $100 non-refundable deposit. Oh well, sold it a week later to a kid who had his dad drive it about a quarter mile before he signed off on it.

Holy poo poo I just found out that Nutserts are a thing! http://kk.org/cooltools/26740/ I've been trying to figure out how to mount a dead pedal to my Jeep for a while now, and was about to JB-weld it in place.

There's definitely a lot of places they should not be used where people put them anyway. Truck/van outfitters and body-jobbers are bad for this (usually the same ones that are responsible for most of the Factory OEM Scotchlocks I've seen).

Yeah, it's worth noting that with my situation it started out as "I want to take it to a Subaru dealership mechanic" and ended up in some 60 year old chain smoking Asian dude's garage that his mom's buick pulled out of with a screaming power steering pump and then me and the dude looking at the car yelling at each other. At the end of the day it's just a giant red flag that the person wants reliable transportation for under $5k and instead of looking at a generic entry level sedan owned by a senior citizen thinks he's going to get some sportscar 2-3x as old that's equally reliable for the same price.

Mine didn't have a roof rack, so I learned how to use them. The Astro 1442 is a great tool: https://www.amazon.com/Astro-1442-T...kduckgo-ffsb-20 If you're only doing a couple, a high-strength bolt, a larger nut, and a couple washers can get the job done. And yes, on the anti-seize, but that goes for almost any bolt on a car I might be working on again. Enourmo posted:Tell him you can guarantee it will never, ever, ever have head gasket issues. There ya go! I've got one with no compression, but no head gasket issues at all!

Indian mom chat is yet another reason why I love this forum so much. Knowledge from around the world. So I'm wrapping up an engine swap on a 2007 Volvo C70 today, and Ford is all over this thing. The entire suspension is Ford designed, and as I'm trying to shove the air box back in to the engine bay, the official procedure is to loosen one of the mounts and move the motor. It was a bitch to get out, worse to get in. Volvo never did that kind of crap to me. On the plus side it's gonna be a gorgeous car. I haven't been taking pics or anything because I'm a newbie at this motor and made several mistakes taking it out. And I hope there's never a next time.

Does high milage oil actually do anything or is it just a marketing gimmick? Cobalt update: I have the following work planned for the weekend: - oil change (with a blackstone analysis. I WILL NOT FORGET THIS TIME) - air filter - cabin air filter - sway bar link replacement - borrow sister's Green Machine carpet cleaner and clean the seats/carpet  Ah gently caress.

Maybe I should think this one through a bit more. If there was a reasonably priced, punctual and speedy bus service that went directly where I wanted to go I'd be all over it too! I'm becoming a fan of using the bus to go out drinking with mates. Much cheaper than a taxi. Cheaper even than evening/overnight parking in town, and more importantly now that I can no longer drink like I could 10 years ago, the last bus gets me home before midnight so that I don't lose the next day being hungover.

I tried a bunch of different oils both cheap and pricey/in various weights on my Jeep - it ran quieter on Castrol high-mileage than anything else so I usually feed it that. It'll run fine on anything but some are louder than others.

My now 1 week old daughter who has no real immune system to speak of now has an eye infection because despite my best efforts of saying to my family "Don't bring anyone over", "wash your hands before you pick her up", "she's not a loving toy your morons, leave her alone" it seems they didn't listen. On top of that, when my wife took her to the doctor she left our front door wide open. I'm not allowed to be mad at her of course because "I don't need this right now." This all happened while I was at work because my boss wouldn't give me the time off I asked for because as he says "there is paperwork to do that needs to be done before the end of the month." Why can't anyone else do it? Well that's because I am the youngest person in this office by at least 30 years, and thus I'm the only person who knows how to use a computer
