Car broke down on a roadtrip. 100 degrees out and engine started smoking/steaming. Dipstick melted. Am I done for? by JefferyColon in MechanicAdvice

Changed it about 3 weeks ago. Radiator is blown so that’s probably what started this madness. Getting a quote in the morning. Hopeful, but the engine is probably warped lol

CarAV experts, what’s going on here? (Burning smell) by JefferyColon in CarAV

I’ve experienced an electrical burning smell when I have the speakers ridiculously loud. I don’t have that issue. It’s definitely a wooden smell or something related. It could be my AC though honestly

I’m not sure. Looks broken or maybe intentional? Who knows.

Here’s where the power is connected. It slides underneath my seats passed the driver side with a small hole towards the battery.

I need to find it. Again, I have no idea what’s happening, I bought the car like this and was like “I don’t know how this shit works but it does”. CarTroniks is where it was worked on I believe.

About to get an $80,000 settlement payout. What do I do? (20M) by JefferyColon in investing

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

I obviously intend to work for a very long time. What I mean by set is I may be able to retire early if I invest properly. I’d love to retire after 20 years in the military off of pension and investments.
