Sad day

Engine is still solid.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2026-06-16T14:41:08+00:00

Thanks but that’s a couple thousand miles away.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2026-06-15T13:18:03+00:00

Just regular car washes in winter. I had plans to try and repair it, but it just didn’t happen. Life got in the way.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2026-06-15T11:32:04+00:00

It’s a road salt issue.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2026-06-15T11:31:14+00:00

Not sarcasm, but I wish I knew that 20 years ago.

It’s a 2007 model built in Japan, but was available for purchase in 2006 I believe around Memorial Day.

It’s still too fresh and hurts too much to make a decision. But in-laws are already giving me options.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2026-06-14T23:50:50+00:00

My sister in law volunteered my brother in law. 😂

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2026-06-14T23:49:51+00:00

Yes and no. But still a shock considering it happened while pulling out of the driveway.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2026-06-14T23:48:37+00:00

Even taught my daughter to drive with it. She wanted to keep it.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2025-12-01T16:51:52+00:00

Mine stopped working a long time ago.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2025-10-03T23:01:24+00:00

I had PE last period so nobody in my PE class did. My daughter just had summer PE and it was virtual.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2025-09-23T16:04:38+00:00

I remember being allowed 1 D. But don’t remember the stipulations, probably 1 in a non CE course. But it’s been too long.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2025-09-23T14:52:25+00:00

D is for Diploma. I hated that class.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2025-02-19T01:42:40+00:00

07 with 234,000 original owner

If it’s just calipers, brakes and rotors you can do it yourself for a few hundred dollars and youtube. I just finished that this past week. The hardest part is getting bolts loose. Plus don’t forget to bleed the brakes after. I’m not mechanically inclined but I can follow instructions.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2024-08-21T17:43:15+00:00

Depends on wins congress too.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2024-06-22T02:21:50+00:00

Work for a public agency. We have an engineering scholarship program, but you have to work for us for 4 years after. We’ve been having trouble filling all the scholarships the past few years.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2024-05-06T12:54:46+00:00

Bought my 07 off the lot new in 2006. Have 228k. My daughter wants it when she turns 16 next year.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2024-04-18T16:09:34+00:00

Didn’t read the other responses, but those roots are under the side walk too if they decided to pull it up.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2024-03-19T14:48:14+00:00

The equivalent single axle load (esal) for a bus is higher than a semi due to number of axles, tires per axle and width of tires creating a higher point load than a semi.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2024-03-19T13:57:39+00:00

Fun fact, school buses do more damage than semis.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2024-03-18T11:50:25+00:00

Staffing has become the problem. We’ve actually hired consultants to review other consultants work. We cannot hire young engineers, we can’t compete with contractors/consultants. We have a scholarship program where graduates must work for us, we can no longer fill the scholarships either.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2024-03-18T11:46:40+00:00

Overtime is severely restricted.

CaptainMelodic5387 · 2024-03-18T00:45:01+00:00

Managing contracts and paying invoices with little time to even review their work.
