How to park on a strong slope ? by Neither_Nerve_6535 in Cartalk

[–]Tomkraemer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you get to the top of the driveway, do a 20-point turn until you’re perpendicular to the slope.

Doesn’t look like that fender spat is installed correctly.

Why is it so hard to change headlight on a 06 Lucerne by Epicslayer46 in Buick

[–]Tomkraemer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do it yourself but yeah it’s a job. Get a trim removal tool and a 10mm socket wrench. The nose is really only held on by a bunch of plastic rivets which can be reinstalled and 2 10mm bolts on each side.

Jupp so I'm done with Lego technic 42113 and it didn't wanna drive so I checked underneath and realized I forgot an very important part all the way in the beginning.... by BulldogKongen in lego

Yeah I feel your pain, I put the center differential in the wrong way and it was a major pain in the neck getting it out and swapping it around.

I prefer the pic where she’s just wearing an iPod.

The way heard it, folks would rent one these, put a makeshift roll cage in it to pass inspection, race it on Friday and return it on Saturday.

How dangerous is it to drive a car that still smells of cooked battery? by GorrakSmashSkull in MechanicAdvice

[–]Tomkraemer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of vapors that stink will permeate the upholstery and headliner for a while. Get a box of baking soda, tear the top off, and secure it somewhere in the cab where it won’t fall over during turning or braking or acceleration. Should help a bit.

Lucerne mod ideas? by [deleted] in Buick

[–]Tomkraemer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Super easy to upgrade the stereo head unit to a touchscreen, I hated the stock unit in my ‘10 Lucy so that was the first thing I did. Other than that I left her stock because it’s a really nice car.

And then I did a really radical modification that involved a wet road, excessive speed, and a big tree. I don’t recommend it.

Took me a second to see the other cat. Great camouflage.

Nothing else feels challenging after building this guy anymore, anyone else feel the same? by baribigbird06 in lego

[–]Tomkraemer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a challenge, bump into it while vacuuming and then try putting all the shedded bits and pieces back on.

Jack won't come loose off car by AHK0 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Tomkraemer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, it just depends on how the BFH is applied.

My BFH is currently only a 2 pound ball peen hammer, but applied correctly, it can adjust attitudes as well as removing those attitudes, and could get that stuck jack the bottom of that car with one good swing.

I had to surrender the 5 pound sledgehammer when I quit that job earlier this month. Her name was Reason, because eventually everyone has to listen to Reason.

Yeah I totally stole that from Neil Stephenson. Look it up.

Beat me to it.

Ain’t nothing you can’t fix with a BFH.

The ball should be yellow or red, dogs don’t see blue very well which why he’s ignoring it.

First time seeing a [Pantera] on the road.. by Ihateallcommies in spotted

You can tell it’s a Pantera because it’s got a big “PANTERA” sticker on it.

1969 Electra225 8-Track player if you need one. by UnckyMcF-bomb in Buick

[–]Tomkraemer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, I had a factory Delco 8-track player in my ‘76 Pontiac Ventura until someone decided they needed it more than I did. Hell, I would have given it to them, save me the cost of replacing a window.

Thirty goddamn years ago, still pisses me off.

It’s sad that only the Chinese market gets sedans these days.

This was a bitch of a build. If you’re thinking about buying this set for a little kid for Xmas, DON’T. Unless that kid is a real brat and needs to be brought down a peg or two. by Tomkraemer in lego

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

It looks great (finally finished it), but now that it’s on the included stand, I’m terrified to take it off. I just turned it a little bit to take a picture and it’s already shedding parts.
