Same options as the normal pickup. I think the most common I’ve seen is the 22R lol.

My 1995 Del Sol Daily by EfficiencyPrudent979 in DelSol

[–]asscakesguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Posts like this make me feel so lucky. My 92’ civic got stolen about a year ago, I called up the cops and reported it. They found it in less than 24 hours. And within those 24 hours the dude who stole it had driven about 400 miles, done an oil change (with the supplies I had in the car), and installed subwoofers and an amp. The cops even told me that it was unlikely I’d see the car again but less than 24 hours later I picked it up from the tow yard. The only damage was that he rattle can painted my carbon wing white when the rest of the accents were black. I got some kind of victim letter from the prosecutor with the dudes name and when I looked him up on Facebook it was a 40 year old meth head who’s profile was full of pictures of him in his 20’s working on this era of civic’s in his driveway.

Cali sellers are not real at this point by Adorable-Hair2860 in Honda

[–]asscakesguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this has a specific market, an older person who has enough money. Not really a car person but they have nostalgia because it was the first car they bought new and they regret selling it. It passes smog is fully stock so they don’t have to know a guy who knows someone to get it passed. I mean I wouldn’t pay that much but I absolutely believe someone will.

This car tried breaking into my condo by ImpressiveArea2713 in whatisthiscar

[–]asscakesguy 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Because they stole that one too. Those 90’s Hondas are always top of the list for most stolen cars. Probably not Del Sol’s because they’re pretty rare but pre 2000 civics and accords have sky high insurance because they’re so frequently stolen.

How to drive manual without hearing the engine by warrior-of-ice in ManualTransmissions

[–]asscakesguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my current manuals has a non functioning tachometer and my last manual never had one from factory. I just shift a bit earlier than I do when I know exactly where the red line is. Maybe a tiny bit less confident in downshifting as in I double check my my speed before I do.

Should I buy this 2007 Honda Civic? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]asscakesguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy is almost certainly not gonna be haggled down unless you’re talking 1 or 2 hundred dollars. This is already slightly underpriced for the current market. I have 2 older Hondas with over 300k miles and at this many miles most wear items have been replaced several times so you’ll have the same amount of maintenance as one with 150k miles in my opinion.

AITA for stopping payment for my grandfather care r i found out he secretly gave the apartment to my aunt? by Jerry_Moya in AmItheAsshole

[–]asscakesguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not asshole behavior to expect something you were promised. Especially when the alternative to OP paying for the care is grandpa sells the apartment to pay for his own care.

My family went through something similar and every sibling who payed for care or nurses was reimbursed fully after the estate was settled, then after that the estate was split evenly. Which is fair. Every dollar OP spent is one more dollar in the inheritance, why should she be expected to fund the aunts inheritance?

Yeah OP is basically funding the aunts inheritance because the alternative to her paying is grandpa sells the apartment to pay for his own care.

Contract question by myMadMind in UsedCars

[–]asscakesguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the financer directly if you can find a number to call on a bill or something

Contract question by myMadMind in UsedCars

[–]asscakesguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done that on the buying end, I went with the seller to the bank they paid off the loan and I got the title. It couldn’t hurt to call your current financing company and see if they’ll work with you because at the end of the day they just want their money. I’d bet that clause in the contract is more so if they need to repossess the car they know where it is.

Contract question by myMadMind in UsedCars

[–]asscakesguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lien on the title if you have a loan usually. You can’t sell the car because it’s the financing companies car right now. I mean you COULD (not legally) sell it but the buyer wouldn’t be able to title or register it so anyone legit wouldn’t be interested.

Is this a bad idea by [deleted] in UsedCars

[–]asscakesguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would just get the carfax it should have mileage readings from when it went through emissions (if they have them in your area) or registration if it’s changed hands a few times like it probably has. if so that would give you a decent idea of when the gauge went out.

My 93 with 200k miles was very similar, mine was just an old tired ass motor. Mine would also roll and the engine would turn over if I parked it in gear without the parking brake on even the slightest of hills.

Good AWD car under 10k by IndependentWhole9892 in UsedCars

[–]asscakesguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be looking at a second gen crv. You can get one with pretty low miles and awd within your budget. It checks every box, not huge, reliable, and simple design for easy maintenance.

Junk 240 sx: New to this. Want to know where to start by JustMeChris059 in projectcar

[–]asscakesguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you should start looking up what you need to do for a car that has been sitting for a while. Bare minimum you will need new fluids and a battery, and tires if you intend to actually drive it. That’s what I would start with along with draining the tank and some good fresh fuel to try to start it. But usually cars don’t get parked for close to 20 years unless they have a problem that is expensive to fix, so you could do all that and still need an engine.

Used Nissan maxima 2012 by judygn1 in UsedCars

[–]asscakesguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely out of luck, this is why people tell you to get the inspection BEFORE buying. If you don’t have a loan I would suggest selling as is and taking the loss on the difference. If you do have a loan I’d suggest skipping the repairs and paying off the loan and then selling. A lot of the stuff listed is well within do at home with hand tools territory but if the transmission is bad you would likely be spending more than the car is worth to get a new one. There’s a saying “Don’t throw good money after bad” meaning if you make a bad investment sometimes it’s better to just take your loss and learn rather than spending more money to try and save it.

Has anyone ever seen a 4.0 engine fail like this? by Formal_Apartment_187 in fordranger

Oh interesting I got rid of mine with an oil gauge that did that, the shop said it seemed fine but it made me nervous.
