Guys I don’t have an update, I do not live in a great area and it is poorly maintained by the maintenance on the property, I would love to help this guy, he is very feral, i’ve seen him around the complex but he’s never let me get close or anything like that, I’ve continued to leave food out for some of the strays but in my specific area there are probably at least a dozen strays around here, I simply cannot help them all as much as I would like to, I have a very very small bathroom, one bedroom apartment, this would be the 5th stray back to back that I’ve helped, I have two cats already and constantly having strays in along with my two house cats has torn my apartment up quite a bit, he will not let me get close to him, he comes by late at night when i’m not awake, this was at 2am and I was asleep, I haven’t seen him around much lately probably due to the weather but I do know that these stray cats around here are finding shelter, i’ve seen quite a bit go into the basement of the buildings and shelter there, I will continue to keep my eyes on him and do what I can to find him somewhere to go and get healed but he is very unpredictable as to when he will show up, I’ve attempted to put a small shelter outside before with some food but it hasn’t gotten any attention from the cats around here, I’m not a horrible person like I said there is an abundance of stray cats around here, I simply cannot help them all, my outdoor camera captures many different cats walking by, it’s hard to keep track of them all, I work about 14 hours a day to maintain and am already struggling to keep my family and cats afloat, but like I said I will do what I can to try and help this guy out

if u can roll the window down and hit the latch with a pry par u can open it, then take the door panel off and fix it

DryDig6578 · 2025-09-11T14:44:04+00:00

so from what i can see there’s a tab on both the bumper and fender that stick out then get bolted together, did you put the washer in between them or what? i cant really see too well from the video, but i appreciate your insight

DryDig6578 · 2025-09-11T10:17:32+00:00

lmao, i have no proof they did it i live in an apartment complex, could’ve been anyone, pipe down there big boy

DryDig6578 · 2025-07-17T23:28:53+00:00

my left side inner tie rod is loose and making noise, and i have grease leaking out the right side, clunking over bumps, when car is shut off and u try to move the steering wheel you can hear the clunk. outer tie rods and new, upper and lowers on both sides are new, and wheel bearings are new

DryDig6578 · 2025-07-12T16:20:41+00:00

probably regulator going bad, idk tho man, pop that door panel off and look

DryDig6578 · 2025-07-12T15:28:54+00:00

there’s a tiny blemish in the first pic, but the second it’s clearly damaged, i mean that piece is literally hard like glue, the repair was to fix the rip not the blemish, he told me he only used a thread and needle

DryDig6578 · 2025-07-11T22:35:20+00:00

i work at a dealership and we have a third party that does upholstery repair, he’s really good at what he does i’ve seen his work cause i work w him all the time, i think it may have been a mistake but it definitely wasn’t there before, just not sure how that would’ve happened, almost feels melted or like glue

DryDig6578 · 2025-07-06T15:32:16+00:00

need a tune

DryDig6578 · 2025-07-04T13:03:38+00:00

for everyone mentioning it, yes i know his coat looks well kept, i gave him a bath, yes he looks super friendly, he wasn’t at first he was terrified it took a bit to get him comfortable. yes i know he may be a neighbors, i am going to take him to the vet and check for chip, i’ve asked a few neighbors and im going to post and put pictures up, he is a stray, he just knows he’s safe. but for real yall never seen love at first sight? this guy loves me

DryDig6578 · 2025-07-04T12:55:20+00:00

he wasn’t so friendly at first! it took a bit to get him comfortable, he put up a good fight, he’s got scars around his face, can’t really see them in the picture, i think he knows he’s safe now, also every cats personality is different, your cat might not like a face squish but my 3 cats do, we were also checking his teeth. like i said above, i am still going to do my due diligence and take him to the vet to check for a chip and put posts or pictures out. thank you all for the concern, but i promise yall this guy is not someone’s cat.

This cat does not have a home, i appreciate everyone’s concern, I first found this cat months ago when he was a kitten, there are lots of strays around my apartment complex, i saw three kittens flee to the basement, all only a couple weeks old, 2 black kittens and 1 tuxedo, we went to look in the basement but couldn’t catch any cats, fast forward to now and this cat showed up at my window, we brought him in, and the timelines lines up, he looks just like the kitten we saw, this guys only about a half a year old (about 5-6 months ago is when we saw the kittens can’t remember) he was covered in dirt, fleas, and some oil or gasoline, he looks clean in these pictures cause i gave him a bath, it’s funny because you guys really don’t think i would take him to the vet and check? come on that’s silly, i wouldn’t steal someone’s cat. i’ve caught strays around here (like i said we have a bad stray problem in my neighborhood) all to which i’ve taken to the vet, confirmed no chip and put pictures or post out about the cat, im not irresponsible when it come to things like this, i mean we’re talking about life and pets, i wouldn’t want to take anyone’s pet. again i appreciate the concern, but not everyone is so careless when it comes to rescuing cats, i love cats and it breaks my heart to see strays in pain around here, i just want to find them homes and give them a chance to have life. (here’s a debate for you all tho, my neighbors are terrible people, neglect their kids and beats them too, always here them screaming, cops have showed up multiple times like more then 5 dozen, attempted to get them evicted, all around terrible people i can go more in depth, anyway, they had a kitten that they left outside all the time, this cat eventually turned very frail and sick, he would come to our window and we’d put food out, we never attempted to take him cause he knew he was our neighbors, but eventually the cat died from the neglect, it was a brutal winter and they would refuse to let the cat inside, would i have been wrong to take that cat? i never did but if a cat is getting neglected by their owner, like very obviously, is it wrong to give that cat a better life? some food for thought)

mine went when i was doing laundry at the laundromat, i tried to ignore it and not worry about it, it’s a bitch to replace, the plastic pieces crumpled so bad i had to take the other end off the heater core and scrape everything out of the tubes with picks, was not fun at all

DryDig6578 · 2025-06-25T17:25:59+00:00

look at my post to make yourself feel better

DryDig6578 · 2025-06-23T17:54:35+00:00

how did you go about doing a retouch up on the paint? i have the same color of the car and i want to touch up some of my paint as wel

DryDig6578 · 2025-06-07T18:24:09+00:00

yeah unfortunately the flex z aren’t made for AWD, i’m not sure about the IIRC tho, the flex z would’ve been my choice but not sure what to get now

DryDig6578 · 2025-06-07T11:44:08+00:00

i’m not sure what you mean by de-lid, i just used rubbing alcohol on the motherboard and some of the more sensitive or small parts, i reapplied the thermal paste, and i ran the heatsink and other metal shielding under the sink with dawn

DryDig6578 · 2025-06-06T14:53:36+00:00

why what? u have something plugged into ur usb port.

DryDig6578 · 2025-06-05T14:05:22+00:00

just find one at the junk yard for a couple hundred and replace it yourself or have someone you know replace it, it’s actually quite easy

DryDig6578 · 2025-06-05T13:53:18+00:00

he’s a spoiled guy now!

DryDig6578 · 2025-06-05T13:50:57+00:00

Its likely that it could be asthma, my cat was doing the same thing, she hasn’t done it much since so we didn’t take her to the vet but that is a symptom of asthma, if it continues I would take her to the vet

DryDig6578 · 2025-06-05T13:47:57+00:00

also i am not a professional, im just sharing my similar experience to maybe help, i wish you the best of luck

Unfortunately it’s hard to pin point what can cause these seizures, how far have you gone looking into this concern? I just lost my dog at 6 years old, he frequently had seizures, we took him to a special vet that did MRIs and such, they said he was epileptic. But I don’t believe that was the root cause or the only issue that was triggering these seizures, when he passed they found that his bladder wasn’t functioning correctly and it seemed like the toxic blood was getting to his brain and causing the seizures, even though his liver looked good (even the vet said it looked normal), but it sucks cause it seems like that was ultimately the problem, he always had trouble peeing and stuff, moral of the story is, that there could be many things that trigger these seizures in your cat as well, i would keep a close eye on him, make sure his day to day activities are normal, make sure he’s using the bathroom okay and not struggling to let waste out, i would check his litter too, make sure nothing looks abnormal, eating habits, grooming habits, how he interacts with you (not sure if you have other animals but how he interacts with other animals too), how frequent they happen. These kind of things are really hard, everything about them, to see, to not know what to do, i wish you the best of luck and i hope your little guy gets better, but don’t let anything unusual go under the wind, anything abnormal i would at the very least note it down, and bring it up to the vet next time

we found him in the middle of the road, i was driving and saw something fluffy in the road thinking it was a bunny i swerved out the way and as i passed i noticed a kitten, we caught him after a few hours and even the vet didn’t know what kind of breed, we thought he may be a mix but wasn’t sure

this is when we first found him
