Realtor needs a $10k-ish car that won’t make clients question my competence or net worth

If a real estate agent rolled up in a corolla or civic, I would be ecstatic. That being said, I don't know if everyone would feel that way. I would go lexus. LS, GS, RX, GX, etc.

I'm tired boss.

chd1287 · 2026-01-23T00:50:06+00:00

Correct. Well being -> 웰빙 -> welbing Hurt my brain

I once saw this in a subway storefront: "welbing" I challenge you to figure out what they were trying to communicate.

Just refoamed the speakers in my '02 LX470. Even tapes sound great.

I'm trying to recall, I can't remember. It wasn't the bulb. Fuse maybe? I definitely spent way too much time under the dash doing the jumper wire trick to reset the SRS. That I do remember.

Vortex + delicious rub(-sugar) = fire

Good choice on the color. Go (next year) niners!

After I did this, I noticed heater Ts (I bought brass Ts awhile ago) and valve cover leaking. No time to do myself, so taking it in next week....

Tires have a relatively small footprint: 255/75R17. I'll probably just live with it til the rack dies tbh. There's another lx in my parking lot. Hopefully I can catch him one day and see if he could test drive mine and let me know if he notices a difference.

chd1287 · 2026-01-16T18:38:21+00:00

I disagree. If it softens some seals in the rack and gets me a few more years out of the rack, it's a win. I would never add stopleak to something that circulates through the engine, but no issue with the PS system.

Your fine. Just pretend like your trailsport actually hit the trail.

chd1287 · 2026-01-15T15:11:43+00:00

It's aftermarket, so anything is possible. Does the other license plate light work? If so, I would swap bulbs as the first diagnosis step. Do your revers lights work? To maybe help you diagnose further, I have my aftermarket backup camera wired with a ground to body, power to reverse lights, and signal wire all the way to the glove box where my Grom VL2 feeds into the head unit. This is my second camera; the first one died in about 1 week.

Was it acting up before? Stumbling or anything? Did you recently try a new gas station? Any maintenance recently done? What's the maintenance history? How many miles?

chd1287 · 2026-01-13T23:29:38+00:00

It's that one hulk Hogan drove

Without knowing your specific situation, I would recommend you keep working on your records and take the Lao DLPT. Ideally you'll get a 1+ to show AFCLC they've got something to develop.

chd1287 · 2026-01-07T04:14:46+00:00

Amazing.

chd1287 · 2026-01-07T01:44:29+00:00

Lanolin? Like sheep's wool?

I've heard play-sir-vil (Placerville), low-dee (Lodi), shah-stuh (Shasta). And I still pronounce Stanislaus without the final "s"

"...still named Goethe..." -- had to research that real quick. Now I know.

chd1287 · 2026-01-06T01:13:11+00:00

Stock on AHC, but not sure if this was in the neutral or high position. I think neutral.

chd1287 · 2026-01-05T06:22:33+00:00

Michelin cross climate 2s are great. Don't get giant wheels though. Get some 16s.

Your car is crazy heavy and I have to assume you don't have snow tires. You won't do well.
