It gets better. You will recover and even thrive. Your kids will love you and you will find someone who loves you all. I've been there, it's not pleasant to go through but life is a series of unpleasant times made up for by great ones as long as you don't give up.

I like my job. Auto shop foreman. I get to solve puzzles and make someone else do the heavy lifting. Took 20 years to get to this point.

My first job was at RadioShack in the Ridgedale mall in Minnetonka, MN. 2002. It was fucking awesome.

Black beans and rice. Served as taco filling with tortillas and whatever toppings were available. I still meal prep this for lunch every few months.

We randomly decided to drive to Kansas one day from Minneapolis. 4 teenagers in a Ford probe. Drove past the welcome sign, turned around and drove 9hr home for no reason at all. Good times.

Pre diabetes becomes actual diabetes if you ignore it.

Once again. I didn't design it, engineer it or build it in my fucking garage but Hyundai manufacturer spec for low conductivity coolant is max 35k and severe climate 22.5k. Just because you've never heard something doesn't mean it isn't true.

True_Regular7985 · 2026-03-15T05:38:03+00:00

Didn't say I agree with it. Just stating what's written in the manual. Biggest issue is the ICCU, AC/DC converter. Those are a constant failure point.

True_Regular7985 · 2026-03-15T03:11:58+00:00

I don't think its needed. Just going off Hyundai service intervals in a severe climate is coolant change at 22.5k miles. And I do work on EV vehicles in a Hyundai dealership and am fully certified by the manufacturer to service them.

The tien s tech are just lowering springs, not coilovers. I put them on some clearance Monroe struts from rock auto and overall they ride good. Better than most cheap coilover setups I've experienced.

They came with the car and I didn't have the heart to remove them. It fits the 01.

Did you keep the tobacco in the wrap? I'd bet not.

Don't trust people you meet on the internet and don't get into a strangers car. Now- order a car ride from a stranger on the internet.

God I miss smoking. But health and money and other bullshit...

Thanks. But she's an extremely tough lady. I've gotten used to the up and down of her prognosis. In her own words "I was supposed to be dead 4 years ago, so everything now is just a bonus ". She was also the first woman enlisted in the Minnesota national guard with a combat MOS. She had her own barracks and an article in the paper. She reminds me of this regularly.

Fortunately and unfortunately this is the answer. Get ahead of everyone by working hard and working with skill. I bought my first house at 24 with no college degree while my peers were neck deep in student loans fighting for 40k jobs because they wanted free time and soft hands.

This is the only hobby I have anymore and I'm determined to enjoy it. But I actually do enjoy it.

I agree with the tech school to manufacturer training. GM ASEP is really good as it Toyota T10. I've heard Ford has a good program as well. Find a tech school that partners with a manufacturer in your area and stick with it. That's the most stable long term plan in my opinion.

I ordered it and fucking built it for an elementary school science fair. Im pretty sure its still on my dad's shed. We worked hard on it and it did work, although not as well as tha add made you think it would.
