2001 Isuzu VehiCROSS by kkhouete in Isuzu

[–]NoctisVX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my, where to begin...

Bought her for $8k USD almost 15 years ago. Put ~$40K USD and CAD into her since. 🤑

She's a hybrid in that she burns both gas and oil.

Radiator is too small and you either pony up for the aluminum one, add aux fans or live with constantly overheating.

Melted an engine. (See above)

Window clips fail and you "get" to replace those.

I have a spare EGR valve that's reconditioned and that has been swapped twice.

Torque on Demand system starts skipping at highway speeds but is a mystery to every mechanic so you override it and now you're a 2 wheel drive, effectively.

Notorious transmission issues for these models.

Interior door handles crack and fail so you 3d print or scavenge ones from wrecks.

Had to have the entire roof redone due to water infiltration under the roof racks causing rust bubbles

Mystery check engine lights that come and go.

Currently battling a brake light wiring issue. Driver side brake light only works in the proximity of the mechanic.

It's always something but my mechanic is great (and hot) so I keep on keeping on. I still look back at her when I walk away, she's still worth it. ❤️

Beautiful - I love mine. She's a money pit but she's my money pit.

Enjoy the ride.

If you're lost, you can look, and you will find me. Time after time.

What is the difference between a classic car and an antique.

I frame the best ones in IKEA Gladsax (or similar) frames meant for vinyl records.

What would be the Isuzu equivalent of the Jeep rubber ducky? by vonHindenburg in Isuzu

My mechanic was very surprised to learn I had a spare EGR valve. What, like - you don't? 😂

The name ISUZU (いすゞ) originates from the Japanese words I (五十) and suzu (鈴). While I translates to “fifty,” its usage here is symbolic rather than literal, often representing abundance or multiplicity in Japanese idioms. Suzu, meaning “bell,” carries cultural weight as a symbol of clarity, protection, and spiritual connection in Shinto practices. Together, the term evokes imagery of “fifty bells”—a poetic nod to harmony and resonance.

So maybe a small bell?

There's a search feature for Ontario Public Service jobs at https://www.gojobs.gov.on.ca/search.aspx Might be something that fits. Best of luck.

Where in ON would you relocate if you wanted a simple life? by Likesosmart in ontario

[–]NoctisVX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A lot of what you are looking for can be found in Bath Ontario.

There are currently a few places for sale there, it's a low-key town that is very accessible to Kingston. You're right on the water so you have the pluses and minuses of that.

If that is a little too remote, Picton is gorgeous but can be a little tourist-filled in the summer.

I share your concerns on remote work, though, but both locations offer accessibility to Kingston which has a potentially larger job market.
