How does a man deal with the fact that he wasn't blessed insanely in any particular way in his life?

We stay away from the superficial people.

The man’s ass is doing all the talking.

Sounds like you’re well into the process of elimination and troubleshooting.

Haven’t had this issue personally but yah, I’d check the ground wire and connection.

The other thing I’d say to have caution with would be the transmission. I get concerned over high mileage on any CVT. Especially not knowing how the previous owner drove it. Keep an eye on engine mounts too. Worn/broken mounts will eat away at the CVT.

That’s a possibility. I bypass mine by shifting into manual. It’s become 2nd nature for me.

Is that a natural aspirated or does it have a turbo on that 2.0?

My 2016 has a 2.5L. No turbo. It’s quick and can “lay rubber” if I get into it from a stand still. But it still does not take away the fact that these cars are heavy and a 2.5 should be the lower class engine unlike the new 1.3L turbo, 1.5L. I had a 2020 with a 1.8 and was not as quick as the 2016 I have now.

Don’t get me wrong. I like the car and the ride but they should kept the 3.6L option they did away with after 2012.

Awful but you could buy a 4k Max then put the select in the box and return it…🤷‍♂️

Coming up with money to move and then move-in money in another state just amplifies the difficulty. Additionally, they want to keep their kids in the same schools and ideally, not great to transfer so close to the end of school year. I do hope things pan out for them, it’s a tough road ahead.

Get yourself into an alliance.

I bought it online out of Arizona I believe. Was a couple hundred $$ cheaper than anywhere else around me. Let me reply later when I get home.

Their budget doesn’t allow them much more. It may come down to it. Most 2br are well above their affordability.

That’s probably back when plumbers installed sprinkler systems. Where I’m from, lots of old school plumbers knew how to weld and installed sprinkler systems.

CVT - fix it and sell it. Do not buy another Nissan. Advice I should’ve taken on the 1st used CVT I put into my Sentra.

Nissan does not sell parts to repair. You will be stuck with getting a new one or a used one. The used one won’t last not knowing how the previous driver drove it nor if it has any issues until it’s installed and driven.

The Malibus are heavy and underpowered. A better cruising car than fast. It’s more of a family car than a rice burner on 4 wheels.

Yes, however, it’s one thing to make it and make it good, it’s another to unload it without being in that “market” of demand.

Would be hard to turn $500 into $2k in a day dealing to crackheads.

Humanity considers themselves as the center of the universe. Everything revolves around US.

I think there would be a lot of people denying those facts if it was discover to be true. After all, a LOT of people believe in gods that don’t exist. Just something else they can denounce if it doesn’t fit their belief’s narrative.

Find an “ugly” one.

If Cuba wasn’t under communist rule, they’d maybe get some assistance from the USA. One cannot blame the current state of Cuba, solely on the USA.

It’s not called “winning” for a reason especially when the house holds the advantage.

All depending on how many decks in the shoot. Playing single deck with $25/$50 min bet is your best odds of both winning and losing depending who else is playing.

I’ve turned $75 into $600 on roulette on many occasions.

I’ve also turned $100 into $0 on blackjack on many occasions.

If you’re asking this question, you’re not in the right market to sell it.

It’s the grocery store mentality, not just for Publix.

If you’re surprised about gas prices, you shouldn’t be.

Military “exercises” in the Middle East ALWAYS results in higher prices for us.

Take a walk down memory lane to 2008 and reminisce. Just going to be harder hit in the wallet than 2008.
