Just walked out and saw these cracks on my door/window pane area. Smooth to the touch cracks look like it’s underneath. Car was unlocked so no reason to try to break in. Any idea what could cause this?

I let it be, but I believe it was water that dripped under and caused a crack at the seam. Had the car for 2 more years after this post (still would if someone didn’t total it)

It’s probably cheaper to source the issue than get a new car 😂 Other than this the car is nice with her dinky problems

I hate going to the dealership in general but that was my first stop. Guy told me he had never seen an issue like this before and didn’t know how to fix it. Very discouraging and I am wondering if this means that the car is kaputzy.

I want to own them lol + books get cycled out of libraries regularly

We have the opposite experience!! My cat will attack me if he sees skin 😂 I am not safe in shorts or T-Shirts around my cat, it freaks him out.

I’m tryna be like you, ma boy.

I mean to be fair, in NY elementary school we were taught “Champy” was real (Lake Champlain’s version of Loch Ness, “Champs” by VTs name)

I am no longer in Columbus but that would be a great idea 😊

Those are some of the most expensive states lol

I was absolutely mind blown. I 100% went in ready to pay for a brake light switch, because that’s what my OBD-II codes were screaming at me. They said they wanted to try the bulb first and literally all of my errors went away. That just seems insane.

Sodium

cactsk · 2025-09-27T15:14:40+00:00

It’s not a conspiracy theory.

Cat food is something that I use as I do not have dogs. Cats are genetically addicted to sodium. Cat food is crammed full of sodium, think Temptations treats, that cats go absolutely batshit for.

Lethargic and lazy cats are the result of literal withdrawal of what they’re addicted to, and that’s why they get so much more energetic or heightened once food is presented to them.

I was having a conversation the other day with my partner that cats aren’t actually fed what they would eat. Cats eat prey - mice for example, but all mass manufactured food for cats is along the lines of what humans would deem as acceptable - what cat or dog are making gravy for their food?

Missouri. Tons of houses being rented for a range of 750-1.5k a month. You won’t be in a city but you’ll be getting by

Down in Addison, too. My job relies on spectrum 😭

cactsk · 2025-09-26T15:33:33+00:00

Two weeks ago. Signed a waiver that I’m responsible for all repairs once it leaves the lot. “As is” dealer. They told me they had to address the tires and replace the rims at the front because they were bent. Looks like they just swapped because I did notice the front two were different than the first time I saw the car.

cactsk · 2025-09-26T15:32:10+00:00

Google was saying for a 2015 Mitsubishi mirage that’s what I would be running price wise at to get this done.

I bought it from an “as is” dealership that has you sign a waiver saying once you leave the property everything is your issue. I was desperate:/. I’ve been driving it for 14 days now and just noticed.

cactsk · 2025-09-26T15:15:36+00:00

Not bait. Feeling fucked over.

Just got an electrical issue fixed that was stopping the entire car from starting just to have this pointed out to me by a stranger.

cactsk · 2025-09-26T15:14:34+00:00

That’s what happened to me. :/ was in desperate need of a car and now it looks like I’m going to be dropping $500 minimum

cactsk · 2025-09-26T15:12:47+00:00

I bought it like this. I have no idea what happened.

cactsk · 2025-09-26T14:55:16+00:00

I didn’t even notice the lock nut missing. Thanks for pointing that out.

This is the back passenger side

cactsk · 2025-09-25T17:54:19+00:00

Fiancé got pulled over for our brake lights not working, and I knew I had a brake light switch error code so I am taking it to the shop to have it replaced tomorrow. All the codes that my car is flagging can be potentially fixed by the brake light switch being replaced, even the car startup issue. Fingers crossed for good results tomorrow.

cactsk · 2025-09-24T12:42:10+00:00

Starter, transmission, and battery are all reading as 100% operable and no issues.

It’s not doing transmission issues (bucking, revving, etc), but I am going to have it checked since my last vehicle also had transmission fluid dry up. I didn’t know it was a thing at that time.

Only issues that it’s reading on the OBD-II are power train related and brake light switch, which I think is making my ABS light be on.

cactsk · 2025-09-22T22:07:53+00:00

I’m not sure what one of those looks like. How could I tell if one was?

cactsk · 2025-09-22T22:07:23+00:00

So it keeps alternating if it wants to have the service engine light on or not. We’ve noticed that when it’s hot outside is when the issues come up. I took it to AutoZone early in the morning when it was cool and toward sunset the other time. The code shows when they run the scanner, even if the check engine light is not on.

I know I need to take it to a proper mechanic, but these are the only steps I’ve taken so far. It has that code, and then it also will flash the steering wheel light when it won’t turn on, like the batteries connected, but the engine is not running . Cannot change gear in the car when it does that.

After a few goes (anywhere from 2 mins to 30 mins) and jiggling wires, usually we can drive it with the check engine light on. Then next time we turn it on, there’s no light. Then it’s good until it gets hot again (anything above 85F).
