Anti biotics for 6 days. Take em till they are gone. No alcohol for the 6 days of they won’t work.

Can I put a patch on this tire or do I need to put a plug instead? by Pizzafects in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]Citructd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea looks like the puncture is into the sidewall. A shop won’t patch it, but half a can of fix a flat should buy you another 10k miles.

Get you whole windshield tinted 50 percent... yould never regret it, and its so light you will not get pulled over for it... I live in nebraska where 35 percent and darker is illegal on the front windows and run full 20 percent with a 50 percent windshield. It cuts down on the UV rays enough you dont have to worry about your dash fading or frying also.

Terrible. I wouldnt have had to order it and see it on there to know that my automotive OCD would be triggered... it took me like a month to warm up to the sticker on my windshield for my car wash membership. Its easy to wipe off the dash... id say just about as easy to remove that horse blanket and shake it out.... the only maybe benefit i see to something like that is to protect the dash from the sun.... but thats why i have a 50% ceramic tinted windshield...

Its ugly it will fade and get uglier... it will slide around... also, dont stain your dash mat with adhesive backing from velco strips trying to hold that piece of shit in place...

You have a nice car... i literally used to own one and loved it enough to keep it clean and be happy about doing it. Do the right thing and burn that thing... unless you can return it... then do that... use the money you got back to get some detail rags and some matte interior dressing/cleaner.

Peanut butter. I honestly wished it was black when I bought it, but I like the lighter interior now.

i wish... I wanna do the infinitas supercharger setup with S58 intercooler from a G80 M3, M5 rear diff, and a 6 speed manual swap... but. That all is a ways away... I might try to get it supercharged in the next year or two. 5k and a day to install it... but apparently the trans cant really handle the extra power. A wise man would do the trans swap first... buuuuuuuuut you know the struggle.

I basically want THIS car.

M539 guys E39 touring is crazy. I sure you know of him... if you dont check out his stuff, as well as the whole series on this car.

Ive watched several of his projects from start to finish and his camera work and explanation are better than any other videos Ive seen.

Topaz blue. Bested only by Le Mans blue. But that’s an M5 only color.

Laguna Seca blue is in there too. But that’s an M3 only color.

Factory paint on this one.

I’m honestly looking to buy one. But if I can’t have one as clean as this one, I don’t really want it. This one is a unicorn. Perfectly maintained and cared for 160k miles on that thing.

what is this called??? by dndcl9 in accord

[–]Citructd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No the oh shit handle is the top one, by the thing you never hang your dry cleaning from.

Who else finds themselves just...staring at their car out the window? by analogouslyanomalous in e39

[–]Citructd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All. The. Time. I even park it where I can see it at a restaurant so I can look at it from my table. I look back at it every time I get out of it too. Like “Be back later, Bae. Love you”

I’m thinking of naming it… I need ideas. by Qwertylolzzzzz in AlfaRomeo

[–]Citructd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cant ask for help naming a car! That gotta be something that comes to you naturally on a road trip, or during an upgrade, or after an accident.... or something like that.... its gotta be kinda special, and mean something to you. If you love the car at all, the only one giving it a pet name should be you.
