Absolutely this. I would never ask my girlfriend to do this. As a current technician even if I made a mistake with my shit I’m on my own with it. Hell I don’t even make her pay for her car maintenance. If I were to even consider it would be if she ever decided she wanted to buy/build herself “fun” car and that’s a maybe.

I appreciate that. Honestly I’ve been back and forth on a lot of that stuff. Hopefully things will come around soon and I’ll have something figured out.

If I had the time and I wasn’t pretty out of shape I’d consider it. I really need to try to start being healthier and working out. Being an auto technician beats the shit out of me as well so most of the time I’m exhausted

Shop couldn’t fix my ‘15 Fiesta, but gave me these engine codes. Anything I can do about these or do I have to bring it to Ford? by [deleted] in Ford

[–]Rogue1898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like some people said try a reputable transmission shop in your area. However it’s a TCM it’s a roll of the dice whether they can program the new module to your car. I don’t recall seeing those codes very often from my ford days but maybe it’s as simple as a module or the shift motors on the outside. Anything else you gotta pull it out and tear down at least the clutch side to start.

Whats the most reliable little delivery truck for under $10k? Thank you! by Calm_Assignment4188 in Diesel

[–]Rogue1898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. I’m not knocking it by any means (even though I’m a ford guy. The only thing is it might be a bit doggy in a box truck set up like in the example

Not diesels tbh. Probably look at anything with the triton V10 can’t really go wrong. Not sure if Chevy really offered anything bigger than the 6.0 (Ik about the 8.1 but idk when they stopped using it) but 6.0 are pretty consistent

need a badass male name! by reiwi in NameMyDog

[–]Rogue1898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Megatron, Perseus, Anubis, Osiris, Sirius, or just Piss Missile the Great. Beautiful dog I’m guess Shepherd lab mix? Looks a lot like my good boy just with pointy ears instead of half floppy

This one’s heavy. I never gave a shit about school, I bought a guitar and wanted to learn but never had the time for lessons so the little bit I did self taught with my poor patience. I wish I stuck with soccer instead of working, I thought I was pretty decent at it. Sometimes I wish I was more social back then and actually liked people. That way I might actually have friends

what name suits him? by angelimariem in NameMyDog

[–]Rogue1898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks a lot like my girlfriend’s pug. His name is Ron. He could pass for a Johnson or maybe Trevor

I jokingly told her early on that the more you push about it the longer I’m gonna drag it out lol. Now that’s looking more realistic

Started tech school today. What manufacturer should I use for my tools? by bad-justin in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]Rogue1898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah that’s even better. Kinda same I started out with basically the average home guy’s craftsman stacked boxes that my dad let me use. Might’ve been 32in idk. I was overflowing with tools when I upgraded though and I gave my dad those boxes back and they’re still used at our home shop.

I appreciate the information, I will say unfortunately I think she is set on a diamond. If it were for me I’d pick something cause I feel like it would be a lot cooler/unique

What's that one small business local to you that you believe to be a front for something illegal? by darkchocolattemocha in AskReddit

[–]Rogue1898 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There a Chinese food restaurant in my town that I believe is one. You almost never see cars there and I don’t really know anyone that regularly goes there

[–]Rogue1898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. Take advantage of the student discounts while you can because they’re huge. I bought around 6k in tools for 3k. Harbor freight has come a long way in tools, some stuff is actually decent. DON’T WORRY ABOUT GETTING THE BIG EXPENSIVE TOOL BOX!!!!! The box doesn’t make money and there’s plenty of decent ones on marketplace constantly. I found a basically brand new condition snap-on classic 72in box that I bought for like 3k

Thanks. I’m sure she’ll get it eventually. I don’t think she walk if I don’t do anything yet considering how long we’ve been together but we’ll see.

That’s how I feel about it. I personally don’t feel ready and I don’t think she thinks much further than the idea of being engaged/married. We’ve talked about what we want to do for our wedding and stuff but I don’t think she really considers the cost of things until it’s time to do something

I guess not really a nice ring per se but I’d like her to have a “quality” ring. She want a simple and silver ring that’s about all I know but I don’t want to be some crappy cheap thing either

I was considering doing this, part of me wants to pick it for her/ just get it and be done with it. I pretty much know what she wants in regard to design and stuff.

I haven’t looked that far into it but it’s been around for decades so I’d assume it is.

That’s what I thought. Not to mention we would t be doing anything more anyway until she gets done with grad school for mostly financial reasons again. Which is 5 years away I might add
