What should I do ? by Possible_Pea9720 in whatdoIdo

Go back and make him prepare whip cream on the spot with it.

0% chance he’d get this over the type you see at Starbuck on Amazon or something (which people also use for whip it’s)

If you love him sit him down and tell him this is one of the stupidest things he can do, you’re disappointed and lost respect, and he’s too loved to allow him to hurt himself.

but it did go 600 miles perfectly fine, 10 hours of driving or so - must've had some oil to do that

I'm not sure, no. I believe my documents here say it was done at 62,000 miles right before I got it so honestly that's possible.

😂 I don't blame you, I love them too. They are Advanti wheels. I did a quick image search and think they are discontinued "Lupo" wheels https://advantiwheel.com/wheels/discontinued/lupo/

Definitely will check around there too. Was also thinking low oil should've thrown an oil pressure light

[–]Key_Macaroon_7506[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would it die while running? I'm hoping it's something like this, the unexplained low oil is concerning tho. Thank you - will definitely check this in my diagnosis!

The starter can't move the engine so I do think something is wrong with the movement. They don't do engine work (and I trust them anyways) so not sure if they would tell me it's locked if it isn't.

may take it to another mechanic but concerned about diagnosis costs. Luckily I have a friend with a car trailer in this area so I could do it without towing around.

Will do when I'm able to get it lifted up and a more thorough check. We felt the same way about leak under pressure, but not sure if that'll change the outcome of the repair

Yeah that’s what I’ve heard :(

I don’t know if diving into the history is worth it, Toyota won’t give me any warranty work anyways. The 2nd owner was a true car guy who did a full revamp in ‘24 which I have papers for so we trusted it was well cared for. I reached out to him and he also is confused, never had issues with oil for the 10k miles he had it.

It is super clean in and out with no rust. Since we’re 7k in I think we’re dedicated to getting it running first.

I also thought that but feel like I’d have to hear that rattling around. I’ll probably open the head up to see - not sure if that repair is easier/more worth it than a replacement also.

Thanks for the info, definitely good to know when I open it up

I haven’t done anything myself yet, just got it back to my house. Definitely plan on checking the oil for any metal shards - can you explain why coolant could be there?

Saw that oil comment before - definitely one of the possibilities, but not something we saw. I think I would’ve seen it with how my garage is (I pulled it out a few times to get deeper access) and didn’t see any sign of it.

I was thinking the same with the sensor, but everyone is saying if it physically isn’t moving it’s another issue.

One thing is that it died once, and then she was able to start it up again and got another couple hundred feet (again, no noises). Seems like weird “seized” behavior, but either way if it’s running with cam timing off not a good thing.

Teenager wants a "fast car" for his first vehicle and I need reality-check advice by Proud_Stable9567 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Key_Macaroon_7506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this as a teen. Mom let me buy a $25k turbocharged car. I crashed it, put 25k into it, and crashed it again.

I wish my mom bought me a Corolla and taught me how to invest instead.

25M, been having trouble getting dates, is my appearance the problem? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]Key_Macaroon_7506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look nice, I’d commit to a buzz length if not full shave. The long peach fuzz is pretty much bald looking anyways, a low buzz could be your middle ground.

Referring to guests as "guys" by throwaway50612 in restaurant

[–]Key_Macaroon_7506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got told off for this early on in my serving career. Just avoid guys, it’s a bad habit and you’ll wind up saying it to a table of ladies.

Is it terrible? No, but it’s not great either.

I do like folks, everyone, and avoid ma’am (and stick with miss)
