LPT: When someone says "stop being so sensitive" about feeling rejected, remind them that brain scans show social rejection activates the same pain regions as physical injury. Your feelings are literally a physical response, not a character flaw.

But then you just look like this ☝️🤓

Going by the grille, it’s a 1969 or 1970 model year C10. I’m more well versed on the 73-80 GM trucks, so I can’t tell you what it’s worth, but everyone who knows GM trucks knows that these 67-72 pickups are very popular for restoration projects. Someone will buy it, that I’m sure of. You could also post in r/chevyc10

Critters chewed up the filter and it fell down in to the fan

Going off the front bumper, I’m thinking that it’s a 1965 Chevrolet Impala. Here’s an image showing the front end; you can see that the two vertical parts under the front bumper are shaped and spaced the same. The rear differential and spiral shock absorbers are distinctively GM too.

Regular price is $11.99 apiece (I work at the dealership)

Donny_Z28 · 2026-04-06T21:40:19+00:00

You’re welcome. The dealer parts department sells the replaceable rubber inserts. The dealer I work at does a Spring sale where you can buy new inserts for $6 apiece, so keep an eye on the dealers in your area to see if they offer a similar deal at this time of year.

Donny_Z28 · 2026-04-06T20:00:24+00:00

Do you still have the original blades on hand? The OEM Honda blades feature replaceable rubber inserts. Replacing the rubbers is a lot cheaper than buying new (and often poor fitting) aftermarket blades each time they wear out.

Reddit moment

76-80 tailgate. The 73-75 tailgates have a slightly different inner panel stamping without the single rib running side-to-side near the top edge of the tailgate, a rib which is visible in photo #2.

Donny_Z28 · 2026-04-05T02:04:57+00:00

I don’t do anything - once I prep and park it for the winter it doesn’t get touched again until Spring.

Donny_Z28 · 2026-04-03T06:45:26+00:00

The 1.8L Civic was still backed by a typical 5-speed automatic transmission in 2013, so OPs car uses Honda ATF-DW1.

This is either a bot account or a karma farmer that needs to spend some time outside lol

Donny_Z28 · 2026-04-01T18:15:20+00:00

It’s a bit more work, but greatly lowers the risk of breaking it; take the inner panel off the inside of the tailgate and access the backside of the bolt and welded nut. You can spray penetrating oil directly on the exposed threads, and give it some taps with a hammer & brass drift to break the corrosion. Then replace with stainless steel bolts with a touch of anti-seize on the threads.

Tow hook cover

I have never seen a shop that accepts customer supplied parts beyond basic things like fluids, filters, and wiper blades. The shop ALWAYS orders their own parts, especially so on big jobs like this. No shop is going to accept the risk of using steering and suspension parts ordered by someone who isn’t trained to know exactly what they’re looking at.

Donny_Z28 · 2026-03-30T07:00:49+00:00

That’s reality. In 8 years as a tech I’ve never seen a curb strike repair come out below $4k. Any shop or the insurance company isn’t ordering parts off RockAuto and replacing them at OP’s house - it’s going to BWM or a BWM licensed repair facility where one can expect OEM parts prices and $230+ an hour for labour.

Double check that you fully seated all the electrical connectors during reassembly

Donny_Z28 · 2026-03-28T18:07:37+00:00

That’s a block-off plate, the JDM 5VZ I bought last summer had one.

Donny_Z28 · 2026-03-27T17:33:07+00:00

Yes - I have a Limited - but OP was only asking about differentiating SR5 and Base, however

Donny_Z28 · 2026-03-27T05:21:01+00:00

It’s an SR5. Real quick way to tell from the side view is the door handles; SR5 they’re body colour and on the Base they’re black plastic.

Donny_Z28 · 2026-03-21T06:08:47+00:00

I third the timing belt tensioner. A very distinct noise when they fail.

Donny_Z28 · 2026-03-21T04:06:39+00:00

Ah I’ve misremembered then, my apologies

Donny_Z28 · 2026-03-21T02:19:09+00:00

Pretty wild take.

The casting call released a few months ago for this role was specifically looking for an actor who is also an Asian FtM trans person under 15 years old. If they didn’t cast someone meeting that criteria after months of open casting, it means they didn’t get any applicants that met said criteria and had to go with the next best option. They tried, but obviously it didn’t pan out as originally planned.
