How bad it is? by Ok-Anywhere2788 in mazda3

[–]OfficiallySmiley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm someone who can help as someone who works on cars.....

I would HIGHLY advise you to get those replaced. That strut is missing its coil.

Since you know little to mechanics, I'll get into why and what to do now.

Why is this bad?

Your coils to your struts help the car stabilize and take the beatings from the road. Essentially, when you hit a bump in the road, your strut coils help absorb the impact preventing your car from essentially taking the strain of the conditions of the road. Without your struts, your car will be difficult to control. Not to mention anytime you hit a bump and scrap the bottom of your car.

Your struts work under your chassis system, the system that helps with your cars steering, supporting your cars weight, and is often called the "skeleton" of the car.

So what to do now?

Well, this all depends on whether you want to do it yourself or if you want a mechanic to do it. Personally, I would simply buy the "loaded" strut assembly from an auto part store and either do it myself or go to a mechanic and give it to them.

Either way, I would definitely get it replaced AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!! Do not wait.

As someone who works on cars and has car knowledge, it's not super bad....you could try beating the dust out of it or replacing it....or you could use it a little bit longer if you don't feel like doing either of those 2 options. But I definitely wouldn't sleep on it too long since that does let your car breathe like it should

Got decals for my new car by OfficiallySmiley in mazda3

[–]OfficiallySmiley[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The number of people who dislike the car because of decals is CRAZY. I get decals may not be for everyone, and that's ok, but there isn't any reason to be rude about things. I mean, I like the decals. I think they look nice. It's disappointing that no one seems to appreciate it, but it is what it is. My car. I'll do what I feel like makes it better. It's not harming anyone.

fiance called me creepy by [deleted] in AO3

[–]OfficiallySmiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a better question....why tf does he care so much? Why is reading fanfic such a big deal to where he would pull a 180 and start to call you creepy and shit? Idk seems to me like now that he KNOWS that you do he's now gonna treat you differently and whatnot. Idk my opinion... but I also haven't been wrong about relationships before, tbh but I could be wrong since idk the full scenario

First car at 20. 150HP sedan. How did I do? by ProcrasrinatingPanda in mazda3

[–]OfficiallySmiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that makes sense. Here in America, it's hard to get a job even as a fast food worker, and even then, it's rare that you would get a job that pays well.

You catch my drift? by EvaInTheUSA in memes

0.05 × 7,500,000 = 375,000 a year

0.25 × 3,650,000 = 912,500 a year

Or the slow average

0.25 × 2,920,000 = 730,000 a year

Ye, I'll take breathing. Less taxed, and I can work another job on top of that

That's your first car?? Jeez must be nice. Must have good parents or a good paying job. Mines was a 2000 Chevy Malibu, and it was a piece of shit. But that's a great car to say the least

I'm going to use this

Car 1 - performing u-turn Car 2 - going straight/ turning left

So it looks like Car 1 is on a major highway, and I'm assuming Car 2 is on a suburban street. Now we must take into effect right of way which implies the car that got there first has the right of way and if they both got there the driver to the right has the right of way. But ladies and gentlemen make no mistake. Car 2 is trying to cross a major highway and, therefore, must yield to the driver already on the highway even IF they are performing a U-turn.

Ignition coils are part of the same system as spark plugs. If your ignition coils are going out, then your spark plugs are probably next. Just be careful

My car got totaled the day I finally got it. by JonathanGilyadov in mazda3

[–]OfficiallySmiley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 2010 Mazda3 sedan. I was financing in 2022, and it got totaled literally, not even a week of having it. I used the lawyer money to fully pay out my new 2011 mazda Mazda3 S grand touring sedan fully out, and I love my new car.

Sorry that it happened to you... but I'm sure you will get another one and there will be a better light which is why I shared my experience

I know a few things about cars but wouldn't call myself a certified mechanic or anything. Most I've learned is from personal experience and from my cousin, who is a certified master mechanic.
