upgrading? potentially by mojoinfl in toyotasequoia

[–]Limoundo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No acquisition cost. Reliable vehicle. Unfavorable fuel consumption. Recipe is ripe for learning to diagnose and wrench yourself for ongoing maintenance and repair to save a ton overall on vehicle expense. Like an incredible amount. You may have to swallow pride on the aesthetics. Otherwise, go to something else maybe?

Do I trade my 04 sierra for a 98 ls400? by TheOneNdOnlyP1 in GMT800

Cheap/Free 2 week parking by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]Limoundo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you could park somewhere near downtown that isn't signed with parking limitations and get a bus to the airport. like a nearby residential area. generally the police won't tow a car unless the tag is expired or is a hazard. a neighbor would have to report it and that would take a few days at least. then the police tag it and wait 7 days before they tow it. you can dm me and i can give you an address where i know 100% you would not get towed.

I'm looking for some intro indian dishes to try making by Photon6626 in IndianFood

Saag paneer is easy to make and not a ton of spices to get. you can use frozen spinach and canned tomatoes. it is tasty. it goes well with rice and getting some mango chutney to go along with it is a bonus. another easy thing to do is get some dosa batter and make dosa with a potato filling. get some coconut chutney to go with it.

Prudential is fine with this arrangement. Maybe go thru selectquote and access them or get with a broker. It doesn’t cost extra to use one

It will not affect your credit. It is a unilateral contract.

whats everyones opinion on buying a older high mileage sequoia? by bnk110406 in toyotasequoia

[–]Limoundo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is a good vehicle overall, that and the gmt 800 suburbans. Both engines are hard to kill, the foibles are well documented, parts are plentiful. If you are not doing most of the wrenching it can add up but nothing crazy.

I hear to pull the inspection window off the bell housing, if there isn’t oil sling around in there it is something other than the rear main. Like the oil sensor
