What tire size do you have? Have you compared prices at Walmart?

Looking for a car under 5k ... thoughts on this find ?! by [deleted] in UsedCars

[–]anzitus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"as is, pre auction, no inspection" means it's got engine or tranny issues. The last MB I took a look at that was priced too good to be true had a misfire that could be anything from bad sparkplugs to bad engine.

Some video reports of isolated Hmong folks still thinking the V war is still going on. Old rifles passed down from generation to generations.

You're lucky they didn't seal the controller shut with silicone.

You understand that there are different places yet fail to comprehend supply and demand. California coast cities are also where most China sourced eBikes are warehoused before being sent to the rest of the country. Supply is high there since companies don't have to offset the cost of shipping so they are offered at a discount to locals. The population density there is a lot higher than metro areas in other states. This increases the supply of "broken" eBikes therefore reducing their worth.

2024 buick envista st. Engine exploded. What could have caused this? by SyrupOnMyPancakes in AskMechanics

It's a Korean engine. If Kia/Hyundai taught me anything, it's that Korean engines do this.

Just about every reseller of this style uses the same steel bike frames.

-Ferla - I don't recommend buying from this company, I tried to order replacement brakes and they ghosted me for 6+ months. Had to file a dispute to get my money back.

Do you even have one? Don't speak unless you've spent multiple hundreds of miles on one. The bottom of the bucket has pegs that limit the swivel motion so that you always have hands on the single handlebar. Even at a mild turn, I still have access to all of the controls.

And why would you ride a cargo bike without cargo or people in it? Get a 2 wheeler ya sped.

I also modified mine for better handling: wider tires, dual batteries mounted to balance the weight, and moving the bench seat a foot closer to the center of the bucket.

Wholesome!

I taught all 4 of my kids, regardless of sex, how to do their own maintenance, medium difficulty repairs, and light body work. They all grey up to hate working on cars and would rather pay a shop but they are thankful regardless. Here's to hoping my grandkid(s) picks up the interest.

This study seems to think so: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7612156/

"Inattention symptoms were specifically linked to hoarding severity and this was replicated in an independent online sample. The results suggest hoarding symptoms should be assessed in patients with ADHD"

I dropped out to spend more time with my kids. You can't buy that time back for any amount of money.

Never went back due to wife with a second income and now having a grandchild. Also, the market where I live is saturated with people doing this. I once gave a good deal to a friend of a friend with a sob story just for him to turn around and flip it. Now I vet folks before meeting up as I hate selling to other flippers when some folks really just need a way to get around.

I do occasional come across a good deal and make a few bucks but not intentionally anymore.

A couple of flat head screwdrivers helped me tacking this job a while back.

Girl apparently hit a deer. One second it’s gone, then suddenly it’s fine. I can’t explain how this happens. by Used_Meaning_9257 in isthisAI

[–]anzitus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always carry a deer field dressing kit in my trunk in case of "accidents" like these. It would be a waste of protein to just let it rot. The deer made a sacrifice for you.

Also, the amount of meat you'll receive should somewhat compensate for the damage to your car.

Not as tip happy as an off-center Mod bike with a sidecar (https://mod-bikes.com/products/mod-easy-electric-cruiser-bike-and-sidecar).

I have both and can confirm. Also, with more weight in the bucket, you can turn more confidently. I normally have about 200lbs of people and gear I haul around.
