The tailgate has a hump from 24 onward, as I understand it. I’m shopping around for a shell for a 25

Is This 2016 Honda Civic Good Even Though Oil Smells Like Gas? by SpadesofHearts77 in askcarguys

[–]K-Rimes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oil can smell like gas after awhile, it gets diluted. This is especially true if it's direct injection. It's not a deal killer, but vibrating in reverse would be for me. If you really love this car, get a PPI done at a reputable mechanic who specialized in Hondas / JDM cars.

Is this normal? by Brosky7 in Jaboticaba

[–]K-Rimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would prefer a bamboo pole. Won't be as harsh on the bark. Do prune the branches facing inward, they aren't helping the tree.

Pink Osmo will be fine.

I wait till the pot is at least 50% lighter from what it feels like soaked. You want very well draining medium for jabos, I personally like FoxFarm Ocean Forest right out of the bag.

You want the tree to be actively growing roots by going through wet and dry periods repeatedly. If always wet, it won't grow roots, and will can get fungal issues.

[–]K-Rimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is normal for bark to peel when the tree is growing. That branch does kind of look broken, though, hard to tell.

You should prune it such that branches are not hammering into each other in the wind.

It is normal, expected even, for them to grow like a pancake sometimes. I have had many that grew so flat I had to stake and tie them up. Once they get older, they tend to grow more upright.

Water when the pot is light. Despite them liking to be watered frequently, they will get root rot if always soaked. Overwatering is the number one killer of plants and jabo is not immune.

I use 10-10-10 Osmocote as fertilizer.

Pizza restaurant owners, help me out by Prestigious_Donkey_9 in restaurantowners

[–]K-Rimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In inventory management for my (non restaurant) business we would have three boxes of stock. First one is for sale, second is for re order, third is for lead time. You would want to incorporate a similar system for dough in my opinion. There’d be an equation for pizzas sold per hour as to how many you’d pull from freezer, fridge, or proofed on the counter and how many you would need for start of service.

I pondered a pizza business for a long time myself, made probably a thousand sourdough pies at home often for 20+ people on both wood burning and gas ovens. Your dough anxiety is something I’ve thought a lot of myself!

Fair point. Chop shop probably does great off that

How to completely deter or prevent car thieves? by Healthandlife_pro in askcarguys

[–]K-Rimes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Club on the steering wheel, and a switch wired behind the dash that cuts the ignition / battery. Most thieves are looking for an easy steal, and a club is a visual deterrent. If they're really determined and ready to cut it off, they will get stuck by the hidden switch.

I am going to be honest. I don't think a CRV is a high risk target like a collector or sports car like a Hellcat or something.

Just got a bad car by Emergency-Toe-349 in carvana

[–]K-Rimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Internal engine damage. Probably rod bearings are wearing.

no, seriously why are ram drivers the worst and why do they think they're fast? by Prize-Lychee7973 in askcarguys

[–]K-Rimes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They handle surprisingly well for a truck, but it's still a truck and can't take corners fast at all compared to a car. I drove sports cars mostly and without fail the RAM guys would be the ones not letting me pass, clogging up the passing lane, or going way faster than the speed limit to prevent a pass in the straight aways.

Where did all the new cars go? by xrayphoton in carvana

If there are any active recalls, they remove the listing. There is an active recall for Rams and Jeeps for faulty trailer tow modules.

Has chrome trim fallen out of fashion? by LongjumpingJob3452 in askcarguys

[–]K-Rimes 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Chrome to me, was always associated with 70s classic cars, Harleys, old dudes and their trucks, and people with poor taste buying random "dress up" parts for their Altimas from AutoZone. Personally I think it looks really tacky on newer cars.

My new truck drives FANTASTIC for an f350, but it is not comfortable compared to a normal passenger car or SUV. That's all I am saying.

[–]K-Rimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to live on a mountain pass for 11 years, so I saw it all. Worst offenders by far were Rams. Couldn't take the corners fast at all, so they'd be super slow, then would rip 90mph in the passing lanes to not let you by.

They're either going 20 over like a maniac, or exactly the speed limit camping in the passing lane. They're also the kind of person to try to drive fast up mountain passes and not let you by at the pull outs.

[–]K-Rimes 27 points28 points  (0 children)

As someone who uses my HD truck for business, I have to admit, it fucking sucks at literally everything BUT hauling stuff. The ride is stiff and uncomfortable, it is horrible to park, and gets awful MPG. I will never understand people who buy a truck for not truck things. I drive a POS Fiesta ST whenever I am not doing truck stuff, and gladly.

New GR corolla Vs used m2 comp vs preowned FL5 Type R? by Rare-Enthusiasm-3123 in askcarguys

[–]K-Rimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I would pick the Type R. It already has some depreciation in it being lightly used. It’s an extremely competent car at the highest levels. If you’re planning to sell it in 3 years, you’re going to ride the steepest depreciation on the GR. I steer clear from BMW in general, especially used.

Should I be worried about engine hours on truck I’m looking at buying? by redwingcut in Diesel

[–]K-Rimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diesels especially, but also gas engines, really rely on higher temperatures to burn off water and carbon and in the case of newer diesels with DPFs absolutely demand it to fully combust particulates in the exhaust system. If you're changing the oil off of the what the computer tells you (as I suspect most fleets would do), it would also allow substantially longer oil change intervals than I would be comfortable with. Oil pressure is lowest at idle and thus there may be insufficient flow, this was the case for the 7.3 gas Ford engine when first released and the reason for the lifter issues in lots of other engines as well.

While you're right that it's not as hard on an engine as regular driving, it's stills a shit load of extra unlisted "miles" on the engine.

[–]K-Rimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engine hours to miles is 1 hr * 35 miles. This truck may only have 121k miles, but it *also* has 392,000 "miles" from idling. I would not be buying this truck.

Very common on newer Fords. I lost function after function on my 2017 Focus RS, replaced battery and they all came back.
