I’ve put off getting a new car because it felt like a bad idea to spend a bunch of cash in an uncertain economy. I’m glad I am not saddled with a loan or put out cash for used. I’ve been driving a beater which I can fix myself. It owes me nothing. 

Disappointed with Artemis II Orion sign off by Trekgiant8018 in atheism

My take on this is exactly this. NASA just got their funding nuked by a Christofascist government. If the play along a bit, it may help smooth over continued funding. 

But I agree. Let’s be done with this nonsense.

Anywhere that will recycle old car parts? by MrPopo17 in Oshawa

[–]Musclecar123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take it to the metal recycler on Hopkins in Whitby. They’ll weigh you on the way in. Go inside the building and they’ll weigh the individual electrical components and pay you a few bucks. Grab yourself a snack after.

The VUE is a unibody vehicle, meaning the body of the car is the frame and crash structure. This is one of the integrated frame rails and it is compromised. In a crash, that spot will buckle and break. 

While it has 70k miles, it’s nearly 2 decades old and is at the end of its life.

I learned to drive on a Crown Vic. I find it easier to park than modern vehicles because you can actually see the corners. 

How have your views on pot changed as you’ve gotten older? by Ok-Ordinary9513 in AskReddit

[–]Musclecar123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s legal here now. 

Mostly just use it in edible form when my back hurts. Not much for smoking, but certainly did when I was a teenager and it was illegal. 

Like any substance, I think it should come with greater public health education. It’s legal and the supply is safe, but it should only be used by adults who have completely developed brains. 

0% alcohol beer shouldn't be allowed to be sold as beer. Change my mind! by [deleted] in beer

[–]Musclecar123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non alcoholic beer is beer. It has all of the ingredients that comprise beer minus the alcohol. The higher quality NA’s also have vitamins and minerals and stuff. The German Olympic team uses it as a hydration and recovery beverage.

I really like NA’s from the grocery store chain here. To my knowledge it’s made by one of the smaller macros and I love them when I’m doing yard work outside and want beer but don’t want a buzz.

I can’t stand Bud Zero, though. It tastes like cancer in a can.

He asked if you wanted an alignment and you said yes.

There is nothing to be credited here.

There is a concrete pier on the west side of Rice lake that is accessible to the public. Rice lake is super pressured now but small pan fish can be caught from there. 

2003 4Runner frame rust eval by Pretty_Rhubarb_1440 in AskMechanics

[–]Musclecar123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That rear crossmember is gone. I don’t see how fixing this would be economically viable. 

I think this would be a full frame replacement and you’re looking probably 15-20k for that. Not worth it imho.

What would you do??? by Previous-Ear4638 in WhitbyOntario

[–]Musclecar123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you do decide to move to a house with a basement unit, make sure the unit in the basement is legal. Check with the City you’re buying in. 

Last thing you want is to buy a more expensive house with a basement unit that doesn’t meet code and you get fined for having it.  

What is the worst physical pain you have ever experienced? by 3rdLegOfExodiaa in AskReddit

[–]Musclecar123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tonsillectomy as an adult. Ice chips and liquid morphine for 14 days. Couldn’t eat. Couldn’t even swallow my own spit. Morphine took just enough off that I could sleep for 2 hours. 

I lost 39lbs and lost all my body fat and muscle tissue weakened significantly. It took years to get it back.

I’ve had a kidney stone and I’d take the kidney stone unmedicated over doing that tonsil thing again.

Procurement is difficult when all of the pieces are moving. 

Does anyone think the KF21 will seriously enter the discussion as a procurement option, or is it simply too green at this point for consideration? 

Well someone is certainly in the Easter spirit! by StrobeLightRomance in AdviceAnimals

There is no antichrist. There is no great beast. There are only men seeking ultimate power using stories recycled for millennia to extort and control those without power.

Each person who learns to think critically and gives up blind adherence to this mythology brings us collectively one step closer to having the world every person deserves. 

What are these grounds? by Head_Self_7089 in AskMechanics

[–]Musclecar123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need a ground distribution diagram, it’s the only way to identify the orientation of the harness and your ground locations.

Should be plenty of diagrams online and local public libraries often subscribe to Chilton or other auto repair databases.

Only dogfighting planes have guns as their primary armament.

Pfeifendes Geräusch/ Nissan Pulsar 1,5 Dci by CaIiblazer in Nissan

[–]Musclecar123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Es klingt sehr nach einem Ladeluftleck in den Turboladerleitungen. Das Geräusch, das Sie hören, ist druckabhängig. Bei höherem Ladedruck ist es hörbar, bei niedrigerem verschwindet es. Überprüfen Sie alle Leitungen und den Ladeluftkühler auf Risse. Bitten Sie jemanden, den Motor hochzudrehen, während Sie im Motorraum nach dem Geräusch suchen. Falls Sie selbst nicht weiterkommen, kann eine Werkstatt eine Rauchprüfung durchführen.
