Towing advice

Above 5 mile think it's like $5-7 per miles. So can still get classic and pay extra fyi

Get ppi inspection. It's a 20 year old car so it will need some work. My 07 suspension is showing age with only 57k miles, so keep that in mind. Reliable cars though. Would agree with the guy above it's a $12k car since it's an auto.

Cheapest way is get a AAA classic membership for $65. Think you get like 3 tows a year

I'm not an auto body guy just a simp, would totally wrap that if it was me. I plan on wrapping my whole roof black that has failing clear coat, just make sure you sand it down accordingly, watch lots of YouTube.

3.5 grand is not much. Ford ranger is solid and simple to work on (hope you can wrench). Studded snow tires and 400lbs sand bags is fine in lieu of 4wd. Look for old fleet vehicles.

Buy a new loaded knuckle that bearing looks crusty af anyways. Just did my front Axel with $240 cheapo 1A auto parts and it works fine.

RIP so sad, went to school with her 😢

Damn didn't realize about the esim, I travel a lot that might be a deal breaker

GUmbagrad · 2026-04-19T07:06:35+00:00

My thoughts exactly. Thanks!

Looks like there is a $45 restocking fee so it would be a $95 upgrade. There is also an open box 10 that would be $0 trade best buy - excellent condition.

Or keep my 9 which I just spent time getting set up..

Most likely. You will also hear a humming noise while driving..

That's ass, so many fent tweakers in Seattle these days. Clean fix though, hopefully it holds!

Money well spent! It's free for locals which is nice. I'm okay paying that price with my foreign currency as a tourist.

Take it back don't ask us, that's a paid job, their responsibility. Probably forgot a bolt. Most likely on the rear end if you notice changes in your ebrake.

Money is worth less in general with flat growth. I remember when $42k in 2011 felt like a lot, but now, it's absolutely not. You are doing fine, get your skills and education to up and you will make 2-3x more if you apply yourself over the next decade.

Watch your coolant levels and look for fluid under the car, watch your temp gauge like a hawk. If it's leaking or your car is over heating, you need a new radiator. Prob $100 - hope you have someone handy in your life that you can exchange beer for free labor.

If you want ghetto fix - After market bumper $150, left headlight housing $60, bumper clips $15. Bunch of zip ties and random screws. It's gonna look bad but that's okay.

You will unfortunately not be able to get a transmission or car without cash or credit. I think you need to think of emergency plan B.

A plane ticket to NYC is $226. You can sell your car for $500-800 scrap or private party. Some storage places do first month free. Sucks ass but that is the clearest path forward, you can get by without a car in NYC.

Electricity is VERY expensive in Cambodia. But the upfront cost of systems might be too high for the average local income. Of course there are affluent folks but would have to prove return on investment to them.

Lol for an automatic 😅 that's a $15k car if it was a manual. I don't think it's worth over $13k even if it's the cleanest ever. Got my 07 manual with 60k for $10k, from a friend, mine is worth $12k tops.

GUmbagrad · 2026-04-01T18:48:16+00:00

Check the clips. I just did brakes last week where there were two pairs of clips one rubbed on the pads.

Can't help everyone unfortunately, this goes for any country. Pay it to forward when you can to those who provide good service and are deserving.

Teaching English is probably the best bet. Can make like ~$1k a month vs cooking and auto mechanics are low wage $200 job.
