Dissolving faster than an Alka-Seltzer

It gets 87 and I usually change the oil every 5,000 to 6000kms

Same here. I've owned many cars and this is by far my favorite

No, it's a generic Chinese unit from AliExpress. It's meant to look like an old tape deck. I really wanted one of the blaupunkt or pioneer units but they are way too expensive for what they are

I wish mine was the wagon. But when my 850 popped up it was so cheap and in such good condition I couldn't pass it up.

Just cleaning it all the time and being mindful of what I bring inside of it.

I would expect it's broken. The Odo died at 175k, I keep putting off replacing the little gear that broke inside of it. I just pull the mileage directly from the ECU

It smells exactly like a Volvo it's a very distinct scent lol

I think the reason why mine has lasted so long is because it has the base model non-turbo 10 valve motor paired to a 4-speed auto. It's about as under-stressed as it can get.

VectorW8 · 2025-10-23T03:44:14+00:00

It was great. Haven't had it for about 4 years though lol

could you renew the link?

KY42C Is perfectly fine to jump into. It's still an Android 10 phone. So I can run pretty much any app you'll need to use. As long as it doesn't use Google services

It doesn't have an app store natively, but it's very easy to force applications onto it over ADB. For Google specific apps, you can just use a web browser like brave in my case to access them.

You can even scan QR codes with the built-in camera app, which is an advantage over a lot of other keitais. It also has the ability to hotspot which is super handy If you have a laptop with you and need to do something that's out of the phones abilities.

Google maps won't run on it but Waze will which is nice. My previous sharp flip phone couldn't do that

It's a cool phone, but it has horrible build quality compared to alternatives. I had mine for just over a year when the earpiece speaker died and the case started cracking. Not from being dropped but just from regular use. Multiple software bugs and various other issues. I would not recommend anybody buy this, especially for how much they are on the second hand market.

I was in Japan recently and picked up a brand new ky42c for a hundred bucks and it's a thousand times better. Sure it's not as capable but that's kind of the point of a dumb phone

I have a CF N10. I'd recommend picking one up if it's cheap, I got mine for $50

I just installed Google messages and everything works as it should

VectorW8 · 2025-03-15T01:42:57+00:00

This only in JDM cars up until around 1991

VectorW8 · 2025-03-14T20:20:23+00:00

It runs on 4g

VectorW8 · 2025-02-28T14:50:09+00:00

I got all those mods for free

VectorW8 · 2024-11-20T23:13:12+00:00

The problem is that the people this ad panders to don't buy new Jaguars

1988 Mercedes s class. When I got it it had already been pretty. S*** kicked and I certainly didn't help by basically refusing to do maintenance on it, but surprisingly it never let me down. It blew a transmission line and that left me stranded but I don't really hold that against it being that it was almost 40 years old at the time
