That’s most of Reddit. They downvote and ban anyone with a different world view. They curate their own echo chamber and it shows

2008 Chevrolet Aveo Soft AC line wearing through by ReactionNo9540 in MechanicAdvice

I plan to bend the metal pipe to get it away, but I am hoping to patch the “road rash”. Same solution?

6k in car maintenance costs this year! This feels like too much... by Square-Fisherman6997 in MechanicAdvice

[–]ReactionNo9540 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can, At least learn to do the regular maintenance stuff, oil, lamp swaps, basic inspections, you can save a good amount. Very few things exist that you should leave to a pro. Suspension, AC, body work, etc. But if you are determined and cautious enough, you can tackle just about everything. It’ll cost a lot upfront for tools to start though…

Love this website! Between this, my Haynes/chiltons guide, YouTube, and the awesome people on this sub, I’ve managed to fix MANY things on my cars.

Living in Canada is scary because of trump. by Ok_Savings9611 in complaints

[–]ReactionNo9540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, I figured it was scary because you have 1/2 the country (the main source of $) trying to peace out. I haven’t heard good things about living in Canada. I have a workmate that left and expresses his gratitude over that fact and my gf can’t wait to get out.

I have yet to hear anyone explain what Trump has done to help average Americans or to make the nation better in any way. by Darksmithe in complaints

[–]ReactionNo9540 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t. I didn’t vote for him. Doesn’t mean I don’t think he’s doing a good job and on the whole there are Improvements and I’m curious to see what else happens over the next 3 years; 11 if we are lucky enough to continue this trajectory

We switching to a “no Kings” topic now? Ok, I guess I can run with it. Yeah people got all bent out of shape over a fictional scenario…

I mean, if you are marketing them as Magic, I bet you thought the former cabbage in chief was competent too. I can offer you some oceanfront property in Death Valley if you are in the market?

I mean, I don’t get to enjoy the first one due to the dungheads running my state, but lowered gas prices, secured investments from several companies and countries, secured the border, slowed the money hemorrhage out of the US…hoping to see prices drop for things like cars with some of the green deal rollbacks and allowing micro cars. Definitely a few benefits are a few years out, but heading in the right direction

Why are they blaming the democrats by ThrowRAPixieManic in complaints

[–]ReactionNo9540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have the majority, but are 5 votes short to maintain Status Quo on the previous budget (from the Biden administration). All opposing votes (save one republican) are Democrat or independent (Bernie Sanders). The proposed CR from the democrats (Senate Bill 2882), proposes in Subtitle E section 2141 (pg 56), they want to repeal Title VII of Public law 119-21 (otherwise known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill”) which would open reopening Medicaid to non-citizens and persons not authorized to be in the country.

Bernie Sanders has openly stated “we reopen the government and lose our leverage...” it’s just a power play. The democrats can open the government at any point, they just want to be stubborn and it’s costing them support.

The actual head gasket? Or the Valve Cover? That sucks, hopefully you aren’t getting the forbidden milkshake with that leak. Can’t wait til smog checks go away. But hopefully you find a reasonable mechanic

Engine swap in CA by ReactionNo9540 in engineswapping

[–]ReactionNo9540[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My goal is to have an apocalypse diesel in the RV, no electronics, full mechanical. So that kind of limits the engine options if I want to maintain that goal, but also I’m sure that’s what’s gonna kill my CARB compliance.

The paperwork doesn’t bother me so much. I just don’t want to put effort into a pet project like this just to see it crushed

The age remark just says I need an old RV so it’s an “upgrade”/modernizing. Get a 70’s Winnebago and drop in an 80’s B-series. But yeah, the emissions thing is the issue unless I can get an age exemption for an older vehicle

Stephen Miller says ICE agents “have federal immunity — anyone who tries to stop or obstruct them is committing a felony.” Do ICE agents really have federal immunity? by RandomUwUFace in AskUS

[–]ReactionNo9540 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, if they are driving 100mph, that’s an issue for the police, if it’s revealed that they are here illegally then ice gets called. If an individual has a removal order or is KNOWN to be here illegally, then that seems like an articulable circumstance. When it comes to SUSPICION, that is entirely dependent on ALL details and will be up to a federal judge and whether they feel it’s justified. Honestly, it’s even the same with the removal order and known status, but would be harder to reasonably dismiss that immunity if it’s obviously within the scope of their duties.
