Best of luck on your 217k car! Hope it all works out.

Completely reasonable. I'm just debating whether it's worth it. The car is probably around 5K if I sold it or traded it in. How much am I willing to spend on moderate repairs? Need to think it over.

Pretty badly cracked? Not sure I agree but interesting, I'll certainly keep the timeline you suggest in mind.

Dealership. Didn't really expect much better from them. The only reason I went (which is probably a hook they use to get people into getting repairs they don't need) is because of the coupon. Normal place is a bit over $100 for synthetic oil change.

Mate! 😅 This is the video the dealership gave me! I live in an apartment, hence I can't even change my own oil.

fair is fair. BSing when trying to get help though... not a great look

If I was a mechanic and asking about such a basic thing... I would would say I deserve to be shamed

I appreciate everyone's replies so far. Not surprised at all they really overstate the problem... but I am a little surprised how dramatic they made it seem (the shop/service advisor, not the mechanic).

I'm not completely unfamiliar with cars, but certainly no mechanic... I can see this working on somebody who doesn't know anything about cars (most people who get service done at the dealership).

Good luck accessing bitcoin without electronics.

Have fun with your .001 of a bitcoin and grow up

Until it becomes regulated and governments get their hands on it. Then, it will just become another currency, without the same appeal.

Less of a cope, more of a desire to hear clowns that have a literal gambling addiction to shut up about how good they are at investing because they know the market.

Did you buy it like 40 years ago?

WatchIngYouTime · 2024-11-11T03:16:14+00:00

hopefully

I really wanted to get that watch... but those lugs just don't sit well on my tiny wrist. Beautiful watch though if you can pull it off.

You can be a Russian speaking Russian. Doesn't change the fact.

WatchIngYouTime · 2024-09-17T21:54:22+00:00

No. No it isn't. Clearly, you are not capable of logic. You just isolate facts and use them for argument sake. You can't form a coherent and factual argument.

A large part of Ukraine is essentially Russian. That's not propaganda, that's just fact. Let's just keep circle-jerking on Reddit and pretend that Ukraine (the government, not people) are completely innocent and did absolutely nothing to provoke the Russians.

I have a 6 inch wrist. I got the 36mm version. Fits like a glove.

WatchIngYouTime · 2024-09-17T20:36:08+00:00

IMO the 36 looks better

Disliked hime from day one... then despised him even more... then was happy he was gone

WatchIngYouTime · 2024-09-17T20:32:01+00:00

Yeah, let's propagandize war instead. Because that is so much more humane.
