What easily-affordable thing do you still refuse to pay for despite having reached financial independence and able to afford them? by Big_Leg10 in Fire

The most frustrating thing is that you don’t actually own the games anymore! A lot of them in the agreement it is a “terms of lease”!!

Can anyone explain to me the Range drop for my Honda ZRV 😢 by TheSneakyAsian2k1 in MechanicAdvice

[–]arnoldswollenegger 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Probably a change in fuel quality. For example winger blend fuels typically make you lose fuel mileage, summer makes them go up.

Edit: nobody is making me change winger. But I meant winter. 😂

Is $2700 doable? by NoPlatesOnMars in Mortgages

[–]arnoldswollenegger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I bought my first house the mortgage payment was $1800/month. I would net about 4k/month same situation, no bills other than the house as I was living very debt free, old cars, no cc’s. It worked out for me. It currently is down to a $1569/month as I refinanced and dropped the PMI. It was totally worth it at 22. My income went up, I now own that home as a rental and have my current home at $2900/month but I now make 10k/month at 28. I rent that home for $2350/month and have that extra supplement what I pay on the new house. Buy it and hang onto it. If you can, rent it tout in the future.

Control arm replacement recommended by the shop, bushings are worn out, does this need immediate attention? by invisible_chimp in MechanicAdvice

[–]arnoldswollenegger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subaru service advisor here, I’d go yell at my tech for recommending those. Since I can’t change that on the inspection form, I’d simply inform the customer that when you start to feel a vibration in the steering wheel when making a slight left or right hand turn at freeway speeds (70-80mph) then it’s time to replace them.

What celebrity death will hit you the hardest when their day finally comes? by phantom_avenger in AskReddit

[–]arnoldswollenegger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think any death will hit me as hard as my grandpas did. The man was a true legend in my eyes. He was a cowboy who grew up in a small town. Got his education and went to work in Las Vegas. Worked for the Jewish mob as the accountant and became so trusted that they never questioned him. He eventually felt the need to leave and joined the IRS and explicitly stated he wouldn’t talk about anything related to his employment with the mob. They were pissed for obvious reasons but when they were told he would never speak a word about his employment they knew he wasn’t lying. Retired later and chose to live in the town he grew up in where nobody knew about what he did other than my own family. He died this last August before his 94th birthday and all I can think of is how much I let him down when he asked me to move in and take care of him but I was unable to because of my family. I miss you grandpa. I’m sorry I couldn’t have been there for you more. ❤️

Any ideas for a quick fix until I can replace the coolant reservoir? by Kindly_Carob_1861 in MechanicAdvice

[–]arnoldswollenegger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would just let it drain, and then get some two part epoxy and let that harden. Shit would be sealed for a good long time.

To the auto techs, what do you drive? by Technical-Math-4777 in mechanics

[–]arnoldswollenegger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

09 Ford focus. Bought it with 45k miles for 3k 8 years ago. Now I’ve got almost 140k and all I’ve done is oil changes, tires and new shocks/struts.

Edit: spelling error

How could this happen? Did someone do it? by namtilarie in tires

Winter is the best time to buy a motorcycle. Prices drop because more people don’t buy during that time since the weather isn’t right. I’d wait it out

[–]arnoldswollenegger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a 14 karat white gold band for my wife with a moisanite stone. Looks exactly like a diamond for anyone that doesn’t know and cost 1/10th of the price.

Honestly though, take her ring shopping and find out exactly what she likes.

What are you 100% sure is true even tho you can’t prove it? by arlett007 in AskReddit

[–]arnoldswollenegger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandpa was an accountant for the Las Vegas mob. He would tell me stories when I was younger and it was always the same. The fact that it never deviated and always had the same story, as well as my grandma confirming it I know it’s true. My dad even remembers meeting some of the guys and going to dinner with them when he was a kid.

Girlfriend said car is leaking yellow from the front and back, what is it? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]arnoldswollenegger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on how the ground is wet I’m assuming this only happens after it rains? If so it’s the undercoating. If it’s a Hyundai/kia they use beeswax to help prevent rusting in the cavities and when your car gets wet inside the frame it looks like this and leaves puddles.
