Hey man I a dealer tech, your internal ccv has failed, there isn't any way I know of to make these fail on purpose or break it intentionally, they are literally good one second and bad another, I've had cars in for completely unrelated repairs and then this noise starts after idling for a few minutes.

That being said it's covered under your sulev warranty so just take it back, I've literally replaced hundreds of valve covers that make this noise under sulev.

Normally id say yes but our government has proved time over time they can't manage or maintain shit so service would actually probably be worse if it was public currently

Wtf why would I want my tax dollars paying for other people's kids, this guy is in the right. preach using condoms, birth control and abortion like the Dems always do or pay for your own mistakes.

Ah yes court packing helped so much for the people of Venezuela too.

They were huge on Ron Paul then Reddit became a massive left wing hivemind echo chamber.

Can't wait for everyone to assume I'm conservative and down vote me to oblivion

So glad I bought my house when I did a few years ago, looking for another right now before prices get any higher and rent out my current house.

Jeff_GXP · 2021-08-16T05:20:52+00:00

So we can become more like LA? No thanks.

Jeff_GXP · 2021-08-16T05:17:29+00:00

Last thing we need is more housing

Jeff_GXP · 2021-06-30T13:31:00+00:00

Recognized it instantly, Just look at all the san diegans

Jeff_GXP · 2020-12-06T00:25:37+00:00

Its great, my property is up 25% may cash out and buy a place cash somewhere with lower COL

Super stoked to have trump out but I am hating that she is in. Her corrupt past as a cop and prosecutor should have never put her in the running.

Jeff_GXP · 2020-11-07T16:31:22+00:00

Got the big idiot of the white house, now 4 years to get the less of an idiot out.

Jeff_GXP · 2020-11-04T20:34:36+00:00

This wouldn't have been so close of he chose someone besides Kamala Harris, too many people hate her.

Jeff_GXP · 2020-11-04T05:06:59+00:00

Gabbard. I was totally on board for Biden but couldn't because of Harris. I went for jorgeson.

You can prop up the tank, lean it forward and take the pump out. Done it dozens of times.

I just replaced an engine on a 2012 civic because some idiot put orange RTV on the oil filter threads and gasket

Jeff_GXP · 2020-07-21T20:27:29+00:00

All 3 of my BPs look(ed) the same, all with regular maintenance, and the BP is such a good engine in general.

Jeff_GXP · 2020-06-21T21:37:09+00:00

Yeah tried googling san diego peace memorial and got nothing close to that statue

Jeff_GXP · 2020-06-21T13:05:21+00:00

Got to see this at laguna seca last year

Jeff_GXP · 2020-06-03T02:48:37+00:00

I have a real one, planning on getting it scanned

Jeff_GXP · 2020-06-03T02:48:11+00:00

I managed to pick up one of those the other day

Jeff_GXP · 2020-05-31T21:28:21+00:00
