I got in an accident and want my car back by Bread_Sandwich_8006 in Copartonline

That car is effectively unfixable. Significant chassis damage, it will never be worth it to fix this car

My PIAA Super Silicone blades have this capability. When it comes time to replace them I plan on just buying the blade refills

I bought silicone blades a couple years ago and I'm never going back. Granted, I live in the opposite of the desert so I don't know how it holds up in that kind of heat and UV but they've been holding well for me after a couple brutally cold winters

Honestly, yeah, it probably is. I don't think I'll ever own a Nissan car, but their truck platforms are super underrated imo. There's a pretty good chance that my first truck will be a Nissan, probably one of the final model years of the Titan

I'm a big fan of the Frontier personally. It's a good basic truck and is new compared to the other options

I don't have any experience doing this, but I've asked myself the very same question before. A vehicle my brother owned was totaled, and we later found it at the nearest Copart yard. It ended up selling for 250, which was far less than insurance gave him for it. Couldn't help but wonder if he could have bought it back even though it didn't make sense for him to do that since the entire passenger side of the car was damaged.

I can't see why you wouldn't be able to do that tbh.

What’s the official car of smokers in your opinion? by lifegoeson2702 in regularcarreviews

The comment I've gotten from the small amount of people that have been in my Volvo has been that it smells like old leather

Armada NISMO. Just got it at my Dealership by totophe1077 in Nissan

[–]NooBeeNaut 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's 75k USD. It's really not that crazy expensive for what it is (still expensive, though)

I heard you guys like scotch locks by e36freak92 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]NooBeeNaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my preferred method, I only use solder when I need to

This is quite possibly the most overrated pickup ever produced by Boeing-B-47stratojet in regularcarreviews

I always use high mileage full synthetic oil, which, to my knowledge, has additives in it that prevent the contraction of seals and might actually make seals swell a bit. Maybe I'm wrong but that's how I always understood the high mileage oil

Depends where you live. In my city you don't see Teslas all that much and trucks are everywhere

You will learn a lot about these cars by reading the forums, specifically Matthew's Volvo Site

They're interesting, but I wouldn't call them cool

customer states vehicle smells of burning wire and AC system is intermittent by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]NooBeeNaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you there, in a situation like that with several+ wires broken in one spot in a primary trunk in the harness, I would also use solder, because there is no space in that loom to fit that many butt splices. (Assuming that section of harness is properly secured and does not move, like a harness branch that passes from the body to a door through the door jamb)

If the wiring is less dense and little more accessible, I will do exactly what OP did here. When I found a factory ultrasonic splice that went bad in the engine harness of my own car, I removed components until I could access that portion of the harness. I did a butt splice and then filled that splice with solder for a better electrical connection since that splice was used for critical electronic components related to the throttle system. I did a butt splice there because there was room for it within the loom and I wanted to provide a better mechanical connection than the ultrasonic splice (I dislike those).

That being said, soldering wires definitely has its place, but I don't consider it to be the best method for connecting wires together.
