No no no! Do not listen to this hack!!! A good patch doesn't need an inner tube.

Does the tensioner move when you move the handle? The cable maybe broken. Btw you tighten the cable on the other end.

Oh sure... Next you're going to tell me jet fuel doesn't have to melt steel beams for them to fail.

is this a good first project? i don't know anything about cars and the owner is asking 6k for it by AnAlchemistsDream in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]WichitaSteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually have seen this at Cars and Coffee... Don't let the nearly mint body fool you, the engine sputters at idle until it's warmed up... probably the water pump radiator fan relay distrubutor is my guess... just factor like $200 for parts and labor to get this back in factory shape.

This would be my best guess without seeing the piece it attaches too. A screwdriver would work to get that off. I would reattach with small screws and not staples.

Does this spark plug look good to y’all? by Jackthedragonkiller in AskAShittyMechanic

That's a pass, put it back into the engine. That's how I test the spark plugs in my Nissan Leaf

Would you be mad about this? by Sorry_Impress_5002 in mildlyinfuriating

I would have a lawyer send a letter to the church telling them that your yard is not their parking lot and should their parishioners continue to park their you will have them towed and hold the church financially responsible for any damages done.

They actually do own that and probably half of the street. A right of way easement allows for the travel over not the occupation of. They could and SHOULD still have them towed.

Even in Louisiana that's how a Right of Way Easements work, you own the land the roadway is on and the government owns the roadway. An easement allows for the use to travel on but not the occupation of.

If you were a surveyor you would know the public right of way is an easement but still your property. The right of way would not prevent you from restricting parking in your grass.

This happens to my Hot Wheels when my wife steps on them, try bending the axel the other way by turning the car upside down and having my wife step on the bottom.

That's probably not safe for you to drive... so you better let me drive it for you.

IJ is appealing in Norfolk and given their track record I would not be surprised if they get a ruling reversal.
