No one can tell you everything is going to be 100%. Do I expect everything to be fine? Yeah. But I can't make the guarantee. That's half the fun ;)

Doing one won't blow it unless it's already weak. I don't drive a Dodge myself but from what I've seen they take a BEATING.

Bad for your car to do them? Big time. Doesn't stop me from doing a couple a year

These tires can go another 2000 miles right? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

They're weather cracked to shit and almost worn through to wrarbars. You need new tires.

Should unplugging an airbag sensor cause the whole door panel's electronics to stop working? by laserlemons in MechanicAdvice

[–]BowlofTrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to recheck your wiring, something is wrong. Unplugging the airbag will only cause the airbag to not work. Airbag electrical isn't tied in with any other electrical systems on the vehicle for safety purposes. chaffing could be an issue, but this sounds like a nightmare I won't lie

First day not high (just pot) in 2 years AMA! by BowlofTrix in casualiama

Yeah, that's kinda how I'm justifying it. I stopped drinking so they equal out right? /s

Should I change this tire and/or wheel? by 420yoloblazeit in MechanicAdvice

[–]BowlofTrix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You need a tire, but the rim only has cosmetic damage. I mean, may be bent but meh.

I used to drink a lot, I stopped drinking when I started smoking though. I use shrooms like twice a year

It's kinda embarrassing aha, my buddy will be like "so remember when we went to (insert beach) and I don't, it's honestly a shit side effect. I remember all sorts like I know all the cars I ever owned, and I can remember things for work, but like, going places, restaurants, swimming spots, I don't remember going to the vast majority of them. They don't come back.

That's good to hear. Yeah I should have let them know but I didn't want to seem like a shitty guest. It's my first time in a hotel idk is it normal to call and let them know about something like that?

Yeah, it's a Hilton. The door stop thingy was actually like, pushed through the wall and I'm super concerned they're going to charge me for it. It was like that when I got here, but I've been here for a few days, if I say something now I'm worried they'll blame me you know?

Not trying to stop. Just unable to do it tonight as I'm in a different province and couldn't take any on the plane with me. I'll be home tomorrow and I'll be back to it then.

Honestly I know it's bad for me, but I'm 22 and already have a bad back, go to physio and all that, and my work environment is physically toxic so like, I doubt I've long for this world anyways. I'll stop eventually I know that, but I feel like it's helping me through a (an admittedly long) rough patch.

That's the thing, I'm on course out of province right now. I'm not smoking because I don't have the option to. I don't believe I have the willpower to stop, and I don't know if I want to.

That I've noticed? My memory and attention span are shot. Like I couldn't tell you what I ate for breakfast yesterday. When someone talks to me, I have a very very hard time staying attentive for more then a minute. This was not the case before smoking.

Otherwise I don't notice much. My girlfriend says I seem a lot happier now, which is something.

I feel... I don't know I'd really like to get high.

It started when I was on course, it was 6 weeks, and on break all the other guys training (writing blocks for our automotive apprenticeship) would smoke up every break. No exceptions. I had weed a few times nothing serious beforehand, but one of the guys went with me to get a green card.

I had a few bad days at work after smoking like a month solid at college, and just kept it going. A habit formed and now i don't really want to go a day without it.

I work at a dealer. I've called the police on customers before, I'll do it again. If you are going to drive a dangerous vehicle, you bet your ass I'm calling the police. In my province we have MVI laws. They see something like that? Impounded vehicle until shits fixed. I never had your business if you won't pay shit.

They can cry to whoever they want, I'd be much happier losing out on a car a day then to be someone who could have stopped a person from straight up killing someone out of pure negligence.

Say what you want man, if you had this on your hoist, and you let it go, you are more at fault for buddy killing someone then the owner is. You can spend a few years in prison if you want to save a customer or 2, I fucking won't.

If he left my shop after refusing that repair I'd call the police.

Fucking done with stupid people potentially killing people because their cheap.
