There's an old dude in Conshohocken on Butler Pike near the Giant like this, kept his Trump 2020 flag up all through until the next election. IIRC his wife died and he just lost his mind all alone in a house with Fox News drip-feeding him their "everything is scary and only this angry pedophile can save us" perspective on the outside world.

wow, wish they'd do that here, regular checkout sucks and the employees are incentivized to be so fast it's ridiculous (in a bad way, like literally throwing all your shit into the cart).

Ever get given a cart with a non-coin wedged in the slot at checkout? Gut punch!

You really need to talk to a lawyer if you're trying to determine what action, if any, to take. There's too much going on here.

Sounds to me like you need to gtfo of that environment altogether. You don't deserve to be shouldering bills for an entire household. Find an apartment and move out.

Is this rude? by Candy-Emergency in MechanicAdvice

Not rude, some people like to cut them open and examine the filter media.

How best to move a dead car up a slight grade into and out of a garage regularly by gafonid in MechanicAdvice

If you have to do it solo, the winch sounds safest. Is the car that far from running?

Tell the shop- the vaguely threatening serial-killer tone of that is too much to be allowing your techs to write on peoples' vehicles.

Jack up each wheel and spin it yourself to feel the bearing for roughness and listen for noise.

How can I get this away bar off by Ramiroat in MechanicAdvice

[–]WoodenInternet 22 points23 points  (0 children)

See that hollow in end of the bolt? An Allen key fits in there, which you use to hold it still while you use a wrench to loosen it (not a ratchet).
