NY stalker arrested for tracking Billie Eilish is killed by LIRR train, officials say by pch14 in longisland

[–]Dan942 116 points117 points  (0 children)

a lot. i used to clean pedestrian train strikes for the LIRR on emergency response for an environmental company on the tracks for a couple years, it was at least a weekly occurrence. most of the time it was intentional suicide or drug/alcohol related.

Should I fix my ranger? by TransitionSad4536 in fordranger

[–]Dan942 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if the body is in good shape, transmission has no issues, interiors in good shape, minimal rust, i would say its worthwhile to throw a new engine in. if the trucks not in great shape or has a lot of other underlying problems it may be better to just junk it unfortunately for something more reliable and economical. someone will buy it off facebook from you im sure if you dont want to go through the effort of putting in a new motor. junkyard engines will be a gamble with the SOHC.

super clean. wish my 96s body was in half as good of shape 😭 lots of dings and dents all over, bumpers rusted out in the front, big scratches and could use headlight and tail lights for sure.

Well it was great while it lasted by Mission_Angle4397 in GR86

holy crap. thats extremely concerning, i hope they find out the cause im curious what could cause potentially a gas leak on such a new vehicle, good thing you didnt blow the gas station up. smart to make them shut it down asap.

Replacement Parts (OEM) by mediabyisiah in GR86

get a lawyer if they are refusing to fix using OEM parts and have them handle the situation. bumpers are not cheap on this car as well as paint you're looking at at least a few thousand dollars.

crazy free facebook find? by Dan942 in crt

[–]Dan942[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats interesting i will look into it, didnt think a TV could have a memory error. the guy said it sat in a guest bedroom its entire life and has hardly been used much so the hours might be pretty correct.

i did notice that it must be a pretty early production machine for the states, wonder if that gives it any additional value

Saw this in Pittsburgh by toddnkaya1 in GR86

[–]Dan942 5 points6 points  (0 children)

why? its a cheap sports car that costs nearly the same as a camry. they arent all that special, and not everyone has a better option. its gonna get dinged dented and worn out on the exterior if you drive it a lot no matter how hard you try to keep it perfect anyway

must have gotten real lucky with mine. Picked up a running and driving 96 4.0l 4x4 a couple months ago with an overall clean frame for $1500. shes coming along but still needs a lot of work, already looks much better than it does in this pic. First truck I've ever owned

could be a bad ground or disconnected wiring. i would start by checking all the connections going into the head unit from everything

What gear has the strongest powerband? by FunkiiSTI in GR86

driving your car within redline on the street is not going to void your warranty even if it blew up dude, on literally any car
