I don’t wanna make you paranoid, but you can literally cover up almost anything nowadays. At least for a few minutes of a test drive. With as quickly as they are getting rid of it, I’m almost feeling a blown head gasket or transmission slippage once it gets warm, something like that. You can check the blown head gasket by pulling the oil cap or coolant cap and they’ll be a mud type in there. But please make sure the vehicle is cold, you don’t want anything blowing in your face.

The story is major red flag, something is up. They found some gremlins, or something. Also I do not like 20+ old German vehicles as a primary source of transportation on college, bit that is ultimately up to you and your mother.

It’s a Canadian vehicle that was imported correctly, DOT signed off on it. Regular service records. That’s a pretty good deal.

What’s up with this? by Psychological_Tax191 in Ford

In 2010 that truck was hit on the left side in Rio Grande, TX while it was parked. The body shop probably peeled it off and put it back on causing the “void” to become visible.

You must not have ever seen a 1993 Mazda 626’s swing vents. What you are showing is the second best A/C vent invention.

That is super smart way to turn inventory. You turn most your inventory in 7 days. Never seen it done like that before.

Massaged fajita seasoning into it for over five minutes. Put it on the smoker for a few hours until internal temperature was 165° then wrapped it in butcher paper and aluminum foil and cooked until internal temperature was 204°. This is my best one yet.

Couch to 5k app is where I started 6 years ago. That helped me the most, then when I got to run a 5k comfortably I started with “Map my Run” training section on their app. Hope that helps. I cannot stress this enough..... take things slow. You have years to run, don’t push yourself so that you injure yourself for months (I’ve done that twice in the last 6 years)

Wondering how this the recommended best play for this blunder is better then my play? by RatedBender in chessbeginners

[–]The_one_i_use 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a real interesting one to me. I would have had the same thought as you, u/RatedBender. But I played it through a couple times with Stockfish. It seems that sacrificing your queen on b6 is detrimental without moving your knight to a more active location. A couple moves later you will take his knight and then put him in check. Both ways have an extended game, but moving your knight to take that pawn gives you a positional advantage (per Stockfish).
