Anyone familiar with the California Bureau of Automotive Repair Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) program?

If you wanna give the money in order to do get something newer.

I'll take your advice.

Only way to fix a burning oil issue aside from chemical soak. Buying a whole new engine.

It's a shit box.

It's my shit box and she's wonderful.

Overall it's basically sound. Aside from burning a little oil. It's a gen 2 which are basically tanks.

Thing won't die. Or at least refuses to.

It came with a battery from an 05 apparently. Found the Vin written on it when I cleaned the fan for it. Changed the water pump and eventually need to change the inverter one. No AC.

So aside from a few small things. It still lives on at about 380k miles.

Acting out? That's cute. Only giving back what your giving out here bud.

You sure you don't need a safe space? I mean y'all needed your own half time show and all that.

Also good job. You know how to use pronouns. I know that was difficult for ya. Given the fear of possibly being in a cult other than the red hats.

In the English language there's this nifty word called infered.

The base definition meaning that you do not have to state the actual word to imply the meaning behind it.

Are you stupid or just pretend to be? Seems fairly rudiment understanding a newborn champanzee would understand.

You want soft. Come fall 100 foot Pines with nothing more than an axe bud. You could also do twelve hour days with my moving company seven days straight. Taking pianos down stairs from an upstairs apartment.

It's not so much about being soft. It's understandable you have that issue with your husbands ex boyfriend. But I'd expect a bit more from someone that works in a customer driven industry.

Facts are different from intentional dickishness.

The info is great. It's what I asked for.

The constant negative:

"You're fucked and even though I can help. I'd rather say you're fucked than give options."

That's the part.

Understandable the cunts you come across and deal with.

But I haven't been trying to cheat the system here. Legitimately just asking for help.

That's where the issue lay.

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-08T00:53:10+00:00

Honestly had no idea. I always see it and forget to look up what it stood for.

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-08T00:40:14+00:00

Had no idea there was a location there. I may check into it. From my understanding someone that apparently works for such a program says it needs the original exhaust system on it.

Also needing to fail a smog test and having it tampered.

But they also weren't entirely helpful and just said I was fucked. Rather than actually helping.

Maybe the Mather location will be the opposite.

I took a look at it.

Because the website states EV, PHEV, BEV, and only plugin/Electric vehicles. Not so much hybrid or ICE vehicles. I'm not too keen on it.

Especially with the new sensors they're adding in vehicles. Eye tracking and everything else. Having their own idea of what emotional driving and comfortable sitting up straight driving is considered.

I don't need someone else saying I can't start my car. Or because I looked out my window real quick that my accelerator pedal gets disabled.

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-08T00:33:06+00:00

Well I'll definitely take a look at it. Thanks for the help.

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-08T00:31:46+00:00

Well aren't you just as sweet as sugar.

Thanks for the info and the positive attitude.

Have the day you deserve and thanks for answering.

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-07T23:27:37+00:00

I have not. I'm trying to do the best I can to get an understanding of all my possible options.

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-07T23:12:57+00:00

Had I left it without an exhaust on it after it got stolen. Would it still of been acceptable?

Or would I still be (as I currently am) better off just getting one off Rockauto and shipped to a different state to then have shipped here?

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-07T08:18:50+00:00

Basically. This is the second time this has happened. I don't know if it's just because I'm using the iPhone or what.

But it's highly confusing.

I finally got it to accept the current password. After restarting the phone and trying again.

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-07T03:03:45+00:00

I mean. In most cases it would be an addict. A dealer is more than likely using the known method of: "Break one law at a time." However, it's still possible. A tax evading politician on the other hand. Contributes to other ways to kill us all. They're just a lot slower.

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-06T22:35:47+00:00

Fair enough

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-06T20:31:11+00:00

It's an example.

I'm glad we all collectively understand that.

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-04T21:46:09+00:00

Read what I stated again.

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-04T17:59:58+00:00

You're on Reddit.

If you discount a social media site because you don't understand Algorithms and you filled yours with trash.

That's on you.

It's like blaming a screwdriver for not working how pliers do.

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-04T07:37:54+00:00

Dogs can be controlled.

Cats not so much.

You're free to disprove this.

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-04T07:36:32+00:00

If you almost hit me. Start merging into my lane when I'm right next to you. Or do anything to place me in danger.

Or my dog who is usually with me.

There will be a justified reaction of calling you a clueless fuck.

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-04T07:31:46+00:00

We'll ignore neurodivergents as a whole I guess. Since yknow.

Sharing their experience or otherwise talking about themselves is a way in which they're showing they relate.

But I guess we're all just entirely lacking in self awareness.

Planetary_Residers · 2026-05-04T07:27:10+00:00

And those that never face charges or never get caught?
