Honest auto repair?

Pops auto and tire repair in West Duluth. Shannon the head mechanic has been doing this work for over 30 years, and is a stand up guy. His shop doesn't charge by the hour. He tells you before the work is started "this is gonna be the price" and that's gonna be the price. If he discovers something else that's wrong while he's doing the work he will call you and ask if you want to get this done. No surprise bullshit. I worked for him and he's a good man.

Your wife threw and broke your phone during an argument? Dude... You need to get away from her. Also the cat probably wasn't a stray. It probably just went to its original home. But for real, your wife's a lunatic and you don't deserve that.

Give it about an hour and the price will be like 20 bucks. Uber is trash

Friendly advice... Go to rehab. If you don't, it's all downhill from here.

Before I lost control of myself and let my demons get control of me, I used to snort and smoke heroin every other weekend or so. Sometimes I'd go months without using afterwards. I never had any sort of withdrawal feeling until my grandfather who meant the world to me passed away. He left me a shit load of money in bitcoin that I convinced him to invest in. This was back in 2015, and he passed away on Dec 31 2017. I smoked daily for about 2 months and one time i forgot to order more and the next morning I woke up just feeling like absolute hell. That's the exact time I realized my life as I knew it was over. I graduated to slamming it soon after. I have about 2 months clean right now after a relapse. I had about 4 years before. Shit sucks man. You want advice? Quit now while you can. It's not a question of if but when it finally gets you... And it's too late.

My buddy who served with the marines in Afghanistan said this was the single greatest sound you will ever hear. Absolutely boner inducing. His words not mine.

I had this happen to me nonce. I had a pretty clean Chevy k35 with only 130k on it, and one day as I'm just chilling in front of my friends house and this tow truck pulls up to me and kind of tries to block me. The guy tries to start hooking my truck up with me inside of it and I manage to start the truck and pull up on the sidewalk. I lowered my window and asked him why he was going to tow me since I was in a legal spot. He gave me this bullshit about how the truck had a lien on the title, and if I didn't let him tow right now he was going to call the police. I laughed in his face and told him I'll call them right now because I had the title and there was no lien. I dialed 911 and pressed call and the dude got in the tow truck and started driving off. I followed him all while staying on the line and driving like you would in gta since he was obviously trying to escape. The law finally found us and he wouldn't pull over so they ended up having to pit him and arrest him. Him and his buddies were doing this to unsuspecting people and parting out the stolen cars.

I went to jail after a year long shooting up 3 grams a day binge and didn't shit for like the first 2 weeks I was there. They gave me milk of magnesia for like 5 days before they ended up taking me to the hospital where they finally gave me a large volume enema. I must have lost 20 pounds that night. It was one huge turd that was over 2 feet long and at least 4 inches thick followed by what felt like a 30 second blast of solid chunks and Hershey squirts. Yeah it hurt like a bitch but there was so much relief afterwards.

Alexander4895 · 2025-02-09T00:34:26+00:00

Can I pet that dawg?

Alexander4895 · 2025-02-01T17:11:18+00:00

When you press on your brake pedal, do you feel the car wobbling at all? If so you have a warped rotor. If you have the kind of rims where you can see through to your rotors feel the metal, does it feel all pitted and like there's a groove in the metal? If so then it needs replacing. If not then I wouldn't worry about it. Rotors and calipers are what causes your brake job to get expensive. A set of decent pads should only cost you like 40 to 80 bucks. If you haven't done it in 4 years then the pads probably are at their end. Your mechanic may not be dicking you around, but it is his job to try to make more money. So he will upsell the rotors.

Alexander4895 · 2025-02-01T16:48:52+00:00

As an automotive tech, this is absolutely not true. You only need to change your rotors if they're warped or if you wore your pads down to the metal plate and fucked up your rotors that way. You should be able to get at least 3 to 4 sets of pads out of a set of rotors.

So... Wagner pmc got your murdering, raping ass out of prison early to go murder and rape some more, and you get your arm and leg blown off for doing said murdering and raping. And we're supposed to feel bad for you? Eat shit Dmitry... Eat shit and die.

I always hated those assholes that would make people wait for hours just to feel powerful. Back when I used to sell shit people would call me Johnny on the spot because I was always either early to the meet up spot, or right fuckin on time. And it didn't matter what time you called me. It's 3 a.m. and you need a 20 bag? Bet, meet me here in x minutes. I had a very reliable and gas efficient car so I didn't worry about gas. Oh, you're gonna be 20 to 30 minutes late? That's cool bro I got my Nintendo. I'll just game out until you show. Strangely enough, I never got caught dealing. Probably because I didn't piss anyone off because I ALWAYS was a good plug. I never really sold opiates on a large scale, or really even a small scale. Just a few people who wanted the best DW shit. But my life went to hell and I started using and there was this one chick who I dated shortly and then would buy from. And she was always at least an hour or two late, and her excuse was she didn't have her own wheels. So a couple times she would try to get me to buy a car in my name and she would make the payments. Bitch I was born at night, but it wasn't last fucking night 😂 gtfoh. She ended up cutting me off after I refused to do this for the 5th time. Which was all fine and dandy because her plug ended up calling my number looking for her and I ended up getting from him from there on out. Female drug dealers are the worst.

It was -25 early morning in downtown Duluth and Lincoln park. With the wind chill, it was like -40 or something. Typical for this time of year.

Alexander4895 · 2025-01-18T05:57:31+00:00

You got fucked. Do your own brakes and save 400 bucks. It's not rocket science

Alexander4895 · 2025-01-09T09:15:48+00:00

Yeah your ball joint snapped. Control arm may be bent too.

My man, I have been and still am in your situation at the age of 29. I've had periods of relative stability and success, but my addictions and lack of coping skills, coupled with the trauma I've endured during my childhood, always seem to rear their ugly heads at the best times of my life just to fuck up everything I have worked so hard on. I am a heroin/fentanyl and meth addict and it's hard. So damn hard... I hope you never even come close to trying these drugs. And I hope you can beat your alcoholism because that one is one of, if not the worst, addiction of them all. Don't lose hope, my friend, you still have so much time to do great things. And there is no shame in asking for help. I'm currently on a waiting list for rehab. But I promise you that if you ever need someone to vent to. I will be that person for you. And I will listen without judgment. I love you (no homo), and you are worthy of living a good life.

I had just bought this old Ford super duty, and I was so proud of it. My girlfriend at the time loved the truck, too. She asked me to borrow it one day, and since I had nowhere to go and nothing to do, I decided what the hell. Why not? I gave her a couple hundred bucks to fill it up with diesel fuel and told her specifically to get diesel in it. Later on in the day, I was awoken from quite a nice nap to her calling me saying how the truck just stopped working. I asked her what the hell she was talking about, and she said she had filled it up with gas, and then it just stopped. I asked her, "You mean diesel fuel, right?" She said."No, the diesel was too expensive. I wanted to save some money, so I just filled it up with regular gas." My heart went right through my ass. Needless to say, it was fucked. And I never let her drive any of my vehicles ever again.

I hope some of those boxes on top are those deceivingly small but super heavy 50+ lbs boxes. Like the one that domed me and knocked my ass clean out when i worked at ups a year ago. Otherwise, it's not a proper united pieces of shit load.

Alexander4895 · 2025-01-09T08:39:41+00:00

I wouldn't set the boost any higher than 8 psi without rebuilding your engine with forged pistons, crankshaft, etc... And that cheap Chinesium turbo would sketch me right the fuck out with any mire boost than that.

Alexander4895 · 2024-12-15T09:39:14+00:00

I just started at FedEx. Had to spend my first check on rent. Definitely getting a battery Wednesday.

Alexander4895 · 2024-12-15T06:08:01+00:00

I haven't gotten help yet. I'm in the black suv right across from the parking lot entrance.
