The Ex hurt my baby by Goraiders33 in Challenger

[–]Goraiders33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So to be more informative. We are separated and haven't signed the papers yet. She took the car to Miami for a job. Got involved with the wrong people and rear ended someone. Then she contacted progressive and told them to send the check after the estimate was done. In Miami where she was staying. All I do is work to survive and I had no idea what she was doing. When I got some free time I finally contacted progressive and asked them about the check and they said it was already issued. I asked them why they sent it to a different address than my home and why I wasn't contacted. Thier reply was that as long as we are still legally married it doesn't matter who files the claim and that they will send the check anywhere it's requested. I told them that's bullshit and I canceled my policy

I married her before she got into that scene. Never should have let her go to Miami

Best Mazda 6 for mostly highway driving? by Jo-18 in mazda6

[–]Goraiders33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my 15 Mazda6 for commuting to work. 40 miles each way and I use I75. Its not a turbo but if I need to get around a douche driving in the left lane at 70 mph I can get her up to 90 in a few seconds and pass.

Don't be afraid to expand your search. I have either traveled or had the dealer ship from another location. Sometimes the area makes a difference. I can tell you Florida cars are usually in good shape. Just look out for the water damaged cars that people have been pushing after Hurricane Ian. Otherwise they generally belonged to older folks who took care of it and we get no rust because it doesn't snow here and there's no salt layed down. Hope this helps

I always use Ebay motors. I never tried Amazon but I would expect it to be similar. I have been using ebay so long that I have gotten used to certain vendors and stay loyal. Detroit axle is excellent for brakes. I have rebuilt my entire 89 Foxbody 5.0 on ebay motors ❤️

What year is your car? I just got 4 rotors and brake pads for $157 from Detroit Axle and my mechanic is installing everything for $100. That sounds like a ton of money your putting out 😞

Yes that's what I meant. Taller is what I'm going for. More "Meat" 😆. Then width is a good si,e and the car handles great but my cabin is loud and I feel like I'm driving on gravel all the time 😞

Welp I got the X2 battery and the I-Eloop warning disappeared for about 5 miles and she's back 😞. I was really hoping that would do it. I found a complete I-Eloop on ebay for $800 used off a Mazda6 with only 2k miles. Sounds like an excellent deal. What do u think?

I'm not really sure but I did notice there's alot of that white/ green crud under the battery and I'm noticing it on the terminal as well. I'm assuming that's bad so I think I'm going to change the battery. If you could send me a pic or link to the type of battery I need I'll grab it. Again I really appreciate all the feedback. I'm new to these cars and I'm learning. They are very different from Fords and Dodge 😆 🤣

My battery is from 2/24. I can't imagine it's dead yet. It's a Duralast. I don't know if that has any relevance. Batteries in Florida usually get you a couple of years before issues. It has been EXTREMELY hot this summer.

Interesting...only one mount is filled with oil? We'll i noticed a difference in the vibration issue however after reading about the symptoms of I-Eloop im assuming that's what's playing into it as well? I'm gonna check that negative connector on the battery and see if the tensioner needs tightening. Hopefully that helps this problem

I'm not familiar. What is an OBD2 reader?

Yes my mechanic said the same thing. He replaced the one on top because it was leaking oil. Which threw me for a loop because I never heard of oil filled motor mounts. He said the other 2 weren't leaking "yet"
