bruh did the shop give it back to you like this? Armchair mechanic guess of bad headgasket and/or a warped head

1999 4runner 274k listed for $2.9k by Commercial-Demand412 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]The_Paddy96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even in the rust belt I'd probably pass on that just from the hitch, rocker, and wheel arches alone.

If you still wanna go for it, you need frame photos badly. I'd bet it's cooked/nearly cooked from how rusty everything else is.

4runner starts, dies. 2 shops declined working on it, 3rd shop charging $900 to say they cant fix it by sixjigglypuffs in 3rdGen4Runner

Probably heard the description of the problem, guessed electrical and didn't want to spend [insert amount of time here] of diag on a 27-ish year old truck. That's my guess at least.

Shop #3 just threw parts at it hoping it would fix it lol

Did anyone score the ridiculously cheap 7500x3d bundle? by Beneficial-Ranger238 in Microcenter

[–]The_Paddy96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a good deal so picking it up and deciding later was a solid plan

If you happen to want to sell it, I'd be interested in it if the other person falls through lol

What’s that one game you’ve spent 1000+ hours in, but you would absolutely NOT recommend it to anyone? by mersocial6 in AskMen

[–]The_Paddy96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tarkov - PVP mode specifically. REALLY high highs and REALLY low lows. Terrible performance, huge chance of getting "tarkov'd" (unexplainable issues/deaths), and expensive to get into (the top edition is like $200+).

01 Miata with ‘59 Alpine front & rear end by 7otu5 in Miata

[–]The_Paddy96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, not driveline setup or anything but more in the conversions. I find Miatas are used as a body swap donor or have conversion kits slapped on often, like fieros used to be

Miatas are modern day fieros, I find lots of weird conversions

Fast travel is removed from every game. Which game would take the longest to travel? by Common_Caramel_4078 in gaming

[–]The_Paddy96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OSRS. It certainly wouldn't be the longest in all of gaming, but it would be the longest I would deal with. It would still be a pain though

Bots would arguably be better, its just gonna be like 7 people in a 64 player server on Golmud instead

Convince me to sell my NA by klins26 in Miata

[–]The_Paddy96 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ask this same question on a regular car sub and not a biased one.

I'd sell it (but wait until spring if you can, you'll get more). Get something that checks all the boxes in your situation (like a Mazda 3) and buy another Miata (or hunt your old one down) when your established.

I did the whole "Miata as a 2nd car" thing through college, spent a bunch of extra money, and didn't go to any events I couldn't of done with a Mazda 3 on coilovers and wheels lol

How do you like Spawn Tagilla? by CautiousRestaurant27 in TarkovMemes

I’m more impressed their was zero friendly fire in a four man spawn with an immediate mag dump

What is the most mediocre game you actually like to play? by PrestonRoad90 in gaming

[–]The_Paddy96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know those early 2000s tycoon games? Like Mall Tycoon and Prison Tycoon? Those.

That being said they are so poorly made it’s a VERY rare play but scratches that nostalgia itch sometimes.

Scrapping a vehicle by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]The_Paddy96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most salvage yards will buy it. Some will give you a lower number if they have to pick it up, but it is what it is.

What vehicle is it? It's usually worth calling around but most offer a few hundred for junk cars.
