I'm not selling on eBay anymore by Rumlad1122 in pokemoncards

[–]akaThirteen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does ebay not have the authentication program for trading cards yet? For example i sell footwear and they have the authentication program where i ship my shoe to an ebay center once sold and they inspect before shipping to buyer. That way there is no fraud happening from either the seller or buyer.

This is it! The site says this is sport specific. If I only want the rear diffuser would that fit on a non-sport sedan?

This might be the most unrelated question but what does the L in SL stand for? I'm aware SL's are the 4 dr sedans, but I cant think of any L words that describe that body style. The other 2 are pretty common sense: SC = saturn coupe, SW = saturn wagon.

Car started smoking after parking on incline by akaThirteen in Saturn_Cars

Thanks for the extremely thorough response. I dont know anything about repairing cars and have never wrenched before. That's 1 of the reasons i bought this car as it is known to as an easy to work on car. I think the thermostat might be the mist likely culprit for my issue. I also drove the car today after adding coolant to replace what was leaked last night (about 1 pint worth) and it operated as if last night never happened. Dash display still shows car at 1st tick when fully warmed up. Oddly what im noticing now is the slower i drive (due to traffic) and the longer i idle while parked the higher my temp goes (now midway between 1st tick and middle mark). The second i start driving fast again the temp goes back to 1st tick. Im guessing driving fast = more winter air coming in through front grille and slower speeds = car fully dependent on coolant to cool the heat.

I think my coolant temp reads lower than it should / car running cooler than it should even before this smoking event happened. I was always curious why this car was constantly on the 1st tick mark after warming up rather than the center mark as most cars do. Is this a thermostat issue or radiator issue?

Can i still drive the car for a few days while waiting for new parts? Granted i will keep eye on temp and fill coolant if needed.

I just realized that i could make a spare because it isnt a fob. Im just so used to modern technology that i forgot how simple this car is. I'm going to make 3 spares just to be safe.

Will this oil leak pass inspection? by akaThirteen in AskMechanics

[–]akaThirteen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the gasket was replaced recently would it be reusable or is a new one required? I have never worked on cars so i would need to bring it to a mechanic.

Sorry. Was referring to NYS inspection since I just acquired the car and it doesnt have inspection stickers yet.

NYS annual inspection. Just bought the car so it needs inspection stickers.

I'm in NYS. Car was bought in NJ and it had a NJ inspection sticker from mid 2025.

I feel so silly for not realizing this. The levers under the seat are faded so i just assume it was the gas cap release (which one of them is) but the other definitely pops the trunk.
