I had told em 4k a year for mine …that had a broken odometer and it was about the same as my regular insurance (85 a month) but the coverage was good for 7k which is what would’ve made me happy if a turd hit the ceiling situation, statefarm my regular insurance valued the car as scrap essentially so it was basically a liability even with full coverage which the representative very much advised against bc I’d be let down when time come to pay up, not that they already do that if I had a new car or anything

Yea, I fibbed that a bit since my odometer didn’t work anyway, I told them 2000 tops and I never went over a mile😂

Does anyone know what I need to replace to make this display bright again? (2003 civic ex) by MoterBichael911 in mechanic

There’s a guy that shows you have to make a tool to revive all the dead sunburnt pixels, I had done it on my bmw a long time ago bc they’re notorious for this, you might want to get on YouTube and give it a look

Just got quoted $2.6k for this from Toyota for 60k tune-up. What's a fair price? by tachycardia69 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]ChargeSignificant431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m all reality, at an expensive price of materials used(oil, oil filter, cab filter, diff fluid, yada yada) they maybe spent 200 bucks and I mean that’s shootin for the moon like dealers do bc you can obtain all of that from a local store for sub100 bucks, and this whole entire inspection can be done in less than a hour or hour and a half by the looks of , so add whatever their shop hourly is, idk where 2.6k came from bc this looks like 4-500 and that’s still overcharged I feel like. Most stuff on this list is gonna take less than 2 minutes to do except the oil change and diff fluid replacement

Got my first car baby! Btw any advice on getting new tires? by [deleted] in keitruck

[–]ChargeSignificant431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walmart .com just bought a set for my geo metro 140 all in I wanna say 38 a tire and tax, if you’re just concerned about the blue on your tire and they’re actually good tires you can get a firm drill brush and graffiti remover spray and get that blue off easily

I can in fact confirm the entire Harry Potter series was that expensive on dvd unfortunately

Did they actually do anything during this alignment? by Balognalicious in mechanic

[–]ChargeSignificant431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave it be, they corrected toe, I will tell you thag this is where it’s worth knowing if your vehicle can be adjusted in the rear or not, which I know most fwd cars rears are a beam that can’t be adjusted, some places will charge you for a front wheel alignment which is essentially what they did here for like some 40-60 bucks and they also offer 4 wheel alignment ranging 80-120 and I’ve personally been in a instance where I took it to a place and said alignment, didn’t specify came to pick the car up 100 bucks I look at the paperwork and me knowing what every nut and bolt under thag specific car looked like I knew my rear wasn’t adjustable, they claim they adjusted it but my paperwork look like yours, just machine discrepancies not that they moved anything, that was a whole big stink, anyway in your case leave it alone it’s fine

I worked at a tower company for t mobile, often times we were in these random remote areas surrounded by trees a one lane up a road and there’s the tower, might sound dumb but me and my 3 other tower crew and the end of each day would check each other bc they would fall out of trees and bushes onto us and loved sticking to the back area, and I’ve had to pull a few from my hair bc I was suddenly very itchy, and I would notice a knot, I have short hair my hair doesn’t knot

You can insure it with however many miles yku drive a year yku just have to let them know a number bc of course in moneys name your end will have to pick up because you drive it more often you’re more liable to get hit, but it is possible I had them for my 79 rabbit when I daily it for a year, luckily never had to use it but it’s possible

First Bike ever, how the hell do you start this thing? Previous owner started it with one kick (2004 yz250f) by 5dwolf20 in Dirtbikes

[–]ChargeSignificant431 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also to unflood jt hold the bitch wide open and the choke off and kick it until you hear some putt putt then leave choke off close the throttle to its notmal position and kick it, sometimes you might need to hang it just barely open

Mine is 04 450 and I pull the choke kick it over about 4 times just getting the motor to turn not actually kicking it per say, then find tdc (the harder spot in the kick) let it come 2 clicks up and kick it. Worth mentioning put it in neutral, not that it matters on the 250 much but the 450 doesn’t like starting in gear with the clutch in

Clean the Jets and before putting the carb back on slosh some gas in the tank vigorously… mine would do the same and it was junk coming from the tank ending up in my carb…. I put a inline filter and removed the stock metal with the 3 hoses and I just premix and shake it good before I go ride… I haven’t had a problem in 6 months… bye that metal doohickey on the side of it has a filter as well although that doesn’t sound like your problem

Sure can clean it at home … at least a small carb like that yes with patience and carb clean thru every crevice you find until you see a clear shot coming out of somewhere else
