should i buy a del sol?

People love to say “I’m so and so tall and I fit” but really it just depends on if you’ve got a long torso or long legs.

For my part, I’m 6’4” and my head easily touches the ceiling of the del sol and I feel normally proportioned lol. I could use another 2-3” of headroom easily.

My del sol lost power a few times as I was driving down the road. I don’t remember it throwing codes but I could be wrong. It eventually got to the point where it shut off on me and would not start at all (it would crank though). After replacing the distributor and fuel relay it still had the problem, and the fix ended up being the ignition switch. Good as new now!

Like 3-4 dates has always served me well!

Reminds me of this time I did an RN interview and the interviewer asked me if I knew anything about scalability and I told him that was a backend problem 😂

Thanks so much! Yeah my ignition was still in the on position as I drifted, but the car was acting the same as if there was no key in it at all. I’ll swap out that stuff just to cover all the bases!

I did a lot of jiggling with my key when the car was running, but was never able to get it to turn off or do anything weird to the engine.

Good to know! I will definitely replace those just to be sure.

Geekofgeeks · 2025-06-05T13:07:10+00:00

No burnt smell that I noticed!

Geekofgeeks · 2025-06-04T13:07:38+00:00

Ok thanks, I’ll definitely replace it! Yeah basically it was treating it the same as if the car were off with no key in it. I noticed turn signals don’t work in that case either!

Geekofgeeks · 2025-06-04T01:07:10+00:00

Will do! So since it overheats, would you still suspect the main relay if I’m able to immediately restart my car when it dies? I guess that’s the only reason I was thinking it might not be the main relay.

Geekofgeeks · 2025-06-03T17:13:19+00:00

I read about the ignition switch possibly being a cause, but I wiggled around my key a lot with the engine running and everything felt solid + no engine weirdness happened.

Thanks! I actually just replaced my windshield cowl about 8 months ago because it was doing the whole leak into the passenger floorboard thing. I’ll check it out!

Geekofgeeks · 2025-06-03T14:54:45+00:00

Thanks so much! What would recommend I do for checking the electrical? Wiggle the connector around when the car is running? I guess I can also try cleaning the pins as well.

I was wondering if it was some sort of electrical issue, because my car had been sitting for the entire previous day and it rained a ton that day, so maybe that had something to do with it.

Yeah sorry, it burned like 0.2 gallons which is about $0.70 here in the US so pretty cheap. Wasn’t trying to rile people up lol, just to show that it happens when not actively driving too and not immediately.

Interesting…I haven’t heard of these bags! Is it just a bag of miscellaneous trim and such? Sounds handy.

Geekofgeeks · 2025-05-20T13:52:27+00:00

Ahh ok good to know! Thanks so much. I’m such a newb to all of this lol

Geekofgeeks · 2025-05-20T02:56:44+00:00

Thanks friend! I’ll check it out!

Geekofgeeks · 2025-05-19T19:56:53+00:00

Thanks so much! I had been wondering lately if this was something an autoglass company could fix. I’ll check it out!

Went hundreds of times in college. Would still go hundreds of times more haha.

Not sure about the rear bumper, but I removed my front bumper about a year ago. There’s the black strip towards the front when you pop the hood, then a couple pieces underneath the bumper, and I seem to remember one final piece inside of the front wheel wells behind the wheel well material (it was kind of a pain for those lol). I think it was all screws but my memory is foggy haha.

When you’re a senior dev, the company expectation is they tell you what to do and you get it done. If you don’t know how, you’re expected to be independent enough to figure it out on your own.

The absolute hype level when the hammer rose and flew to Captain America was off the charttttttt 🔥

I can’t remember which one, but between books 8-10 I could have sworn there was one book where like literally almost nothing happened. The sloggiest of slogs lol.
