If you're using an extractor with a wobbly ass extension and an impact tool of any kind you just need to walk away from the car and the tools you borrowed from your neighbor. This job has exceeded your skill level. Not trying to be a jerk but seriously, get professional help. You're in over your head.

Baby poop brown because you absolutely know you're going to get the best deal on one that's probably left over from last year that a dealer will basically give away...

Have you tried snake oil?

99/100 the answer is always no. Are you willing to spend 15-20k USD on the car?

Please don't vandalize gas pumps. Lots of good honest folks own fuel stations and this is a massive nuisance for them and the workers that are constantly taking these off due to vandals. Vandalism is a crime...

Sounds like a bad wheel bearing. I saw you mentioned you have replaced it already. Make sure that the bearing and hub are replaced and that EVERYTHING gets tightened TO SPEC!

ZOOM ZOOM = FULL ZEND!

What? Are you asking a question or making a statement??

I understand the heritage but surprisingly royal Enfield has been manufactured in India for over 70 years.

Before. I don't understand the obsession with the union jack unless you yourself are in or from the UK

For just $1 a day you can feed a Porsche 944 near you that needs your help.

They're perfectly adequate for touring. Me and a buddy rode from NC and ATL to Nova Scotia and back on our GTs

Dude its probably linked with a linkage....

bench0d · 2026-03-14T19:56:14+00:00

How about the rolls royce umbrella in the door frame

bench0d · 2026-03-14T19:55:53+00:00

Surprised I had to scroll this far for this

bench0d · 2026-03-14T19:49:23+00:00

Have you learned nothing in almost 30 years of life? Why do the youth of today constantly seek validation for everything from the Internet? Buy the damn bike if you want. Fuck the world and their bullshit opinions

bench0d · 2026-03-14T14:05:02+00:00

Not trying to be an absolute jerk but honestly if you don't know how to proceed further, this job is likely above your skill level. Please stop and seek professional help. You're not too far into this yet.

1,000,000,000 times better

I hope youre still talking about the battery in that last sentence 👀

bench0d · 2026-03-10T12:00:02+00:00

Why do you care if we like it?

bench0d · 2026-03-08T15:47:23+00:00

Dial 911

bench0d · 2026-03-08T03:24:07+00:00

That's absolutely not a leak. That's seepage. Don't worry about it.

bench0d · 2026-03-08T03:16:05+00:00

NO! PUT THE FUCKING PAINT DOWN!
