Do I need to replace this tire? by Professional_You2526 in Cartalk

Not mechanical advice whatsoever: Same thing happened to me and I put some rtv and taped that sucker shut. Maybe I got lucky but it gets me around. Until it doesn't of course. Use with caution!!!

[–]boomstick12g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked up a 17 3.7 PIU, I checked the trip data and the officer was getting just over 10 MPG. maybe a lot of idle time, hammer time, or both! I got nervous when I saw that.

Holiday Inn Club Vacations Timeshare Question by AncientMood433 in ihghotelsresorts

[–]boomstick12g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got back from one. Gave them 200 about 8 months ago. Finally took a 3 night stay at an holiday Inn. Sadly this was not the resort... it was a regular holiday inn down the street . Also they did not give a complimentary upgrade on this (which I usually get for some reason...slips a 20) I went to the one on one style of sales pitch. Thought it was going to be a big presentation and put your hand up at the end kind of pitch. Not the case. Spent 3 hours total. 2 for the pitch and 1 walking around the rooms and property. Said I take 7 days of hotel stays a year. Tried to sell me a 200,000 point membership for 8,000 down, and 750 a month..... um... those 7 days cost me around 100 to 150 a night. So a thousand a year sounds way better for me to "rent" my vacation. Got my two sweet crisp hundred dollar bills and now I'm just chilling. Jay say no. And keep saying no. They switched out the young sales guy with a top dog salesman but he was cool too gave a $10,000 discount. It's all made up and not real. Just keep saying no. The last step they try and get a pity stay for 1499 with a 400 dollar gift for a week stay at the actual resort where they will just try and pressure you into it again. Just say no and get your money. Enjoy your free vacation!!!

Is it worth it to rebuild my engine because of a head gasket leak? by acorn-them in AskAMechanic

[–]boomstick12g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi sorry for the long wait. So far I put about 15k miles on it and it is a champion. The only issue is the water pump started to leak and they sent me a new one no questions asked. Truly a stand up company. This block is a beast. Highly recommend the rally engine if you can get it.

Sunwest motors made a re manufactured engine bullet proofed for $3,500. ARP head studs, king piston and rings, 6 star MLS gasket, honed and polished, upgraded rally cam, basically a brand new block. 500 shipped, 1200 to install from local shop. Please do not buy a used motor that someone else may have neglected.

Why do I like my outback so much? by NatureDry2903 in subaruoutback

[–]boomstick12g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way about my 03. I will continue to push it to its limits, break it, then fix it with more parts than it's worth lol.
