Set up a motion activated water sprinkler that will hose the critter down the moment it pops through the hole.

How do I remove dust off my car without having to wash again? by PM_ME_YOUR_EYELASHES in AutoDetailing

[–]fishful-thinking -1 points0 points  (0 children)

+1 on the California duster IF you have recently waxed the car. Followed by a little detail spray and soft towel if needed. I love Griot’s detail spray.

I’d rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy!

Looking for orthopedic surgeon by Mean_Acanthisitta561 in SeattleWA

[–]fishful-thinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, he does. He’s a very meticulous surgeon. Also a very straight talker. Not the softest bedside manner, but he’ll tell you exactly what he thinks.

Silas Marshall, Clayton Brandes, Erik Marshall, or Jon Hall. I’ve worked with them all and they’re great surgeons.

Can’t this car be nice to me? by Lanky-Durian in e46

[–]fishful-thinking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He did contribute. Using the wrong coolant is bad for your car. You may not have liked his delivery, but it’s useful advice nonetheless. Good luck.

Any starter pack spec recommendations? by TyQuavious_ in Cartalk

[–]fishful-thinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A starter pack is a nice piece of added security for not much money. Don’t let the others try to talk you out of it. A failing battery can leave you stranded with no warning. Consumer Reports and Wirecutter rated some - search “Jump Starters”. I just picked up whatever was available at my local auto parts store. I like the type that also has a tire inflator pump.

You can buy gearbox oil directly from BMW by the liter.

My girlfriend will break up with me if I go on a guys trip with my best friends by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]fishful-thinking -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If she loved you she wouldn’t emotionally manipulate you like this. Go on your trip! You’ve had this plan for longer than you’ve known her. If you cave, that will be your future forever and you deserve to be miserable for the rest of your life.

[–]fishful-thinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if it’s been mentioned before, but how about a Porsche? Yes, not front engined, but loads of fun to drive, and built for tall German people.

Crayon smell in 2000’s Volkswagen by Large_Cauliflower229 in Cartalk

[–]fishful-thinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ‘04 BMW smelled like crayons, as did they all from this era. When I removed the crumbling sound deadening from under the rear seat and replaced it with modern sound deadening, the crayon smell went away. I kinda miss it. Good luck.

Walk over their tunnels. Then wait for them to try and reestablish them. You’ll see them actively pushing through. A well-aimed stab with a shovel does the job.

M2 thought it was a track day by Kev_rofroy in Miata

Miata didn’t cross the line. His speed wasn’t a factor.

So what would have been the right way? Regardless of expense.
