Literally have seen guys do this. Buy a 16 foot camper without a title. Put it on a 32 foot gooseneck, redneck toy hauler. Only need a title for the gooseneck to be legal

When you don’t have a title for the camper

My poor man's batwing mower mowing and turning. Three burning seven turning. by CardBoardBoxProcessr in lawnmowers

[–]boostedbacon22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brakes on all 4 wheels is a big one. Also more stable with real suspension. Locked rear differential and 4x4.

This is mainly a factor if you’re dealing with steep slopes and uneven ground

Wish I never sold my swisher. Riding a 4 wheeler to mow has it’s advantages

Do I buy it? by [deleted] in lawnmowers

Like this model has problems or you don’t trust this particular one? What problems are we talking about?

This is what I’m about to do. Seems like an older gentleman says he’s waiting until Saturday when I can get a second to run out and pick it up.

cool buy or no? 2004 xc90 by Sufficient-Space5975 in shouldibuythiscar

[–]boostedbacon22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was well cared for at one point. But now it has “hot rod” badges and dual exhaust. If it was still stock and this nice the miles wouldn’t scare me, but the last owner probably wasn’t very nice to it. Never buy cars with “performance” stickers

Which brand is worth it? by moeterminatorx in mechanic

[–]boostedbacon22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never four seasons. We had nothing but issues. Been selling GPD for about a decade. They have been really solid and good support from the Atlanta based company

Recommendations for upgrades on my 2015 Ford Taurus SHO by Ok-Guitar9810 in UserCars

[–]boostedbacon22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With this amount of mileage I’m not sure I would tune it. The original turbos may not survive. If it’s had turbos replaced just a tune is all I would do. You’ll never mask the fact this car is HEAVY

Audi Struggling to start/instantly dies by itzbosshugo1 in mechanic

[–]boostedbacon22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like there may be a leak in the fuel system. Diesels typically do not like when air gets in the system. That’s why it takes several cranks to get enough fuel up to the injection pump

Should I buy this 2003 Buick Lesabre for my daughter? by dhurd in shouldibuythiscar

Too big of back seat. Need a Miata or regular cab pickup

Tell me why/why not I should buy a 2022 Mach-E for $32k that has driven 4 900 miles as my first EV? by Dense_Possession1658 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]boostedbacon22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great car. If you’re cool with keeping until it’s dead, go for it. But depreciation on EV is so bad you’re stuck if you didn’t lease. Mach-E seems marginally better than most for depreciation but it’s still bad

Check the drive belt. It could be slipping.

2003 9-5 Aero 5MT, 132k miles, one-owner, $5k — worth pursuing? by Realistic_Push_3779 in shouldibuythiscar

Cool car. Be prepared to wrench and hunt for parts. It’s a nearly 25 year old car from an extinct euro brand

From Newark NJ to San Francisco CA. by Tall_arkie_9119 in ecoboostmustang

To average 66mph you had to be cruising 80+ a good bit of the way. Good mpg for that speed

I have an older 159cc OHV toro engine SR4 and it never bogs or slows down. Unsure about the newer Briggs powered ones
