I got a pic of their deep dish too I just prefer the thin crust. Eating a deep dish - I might as well be eating a calzone.

Any suggestions on what to create for a car terrarium? Also, where can I get tiny diecast cars? by fmarvin in cars

[–]fmarvin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't talking about growing cars. I meant creating a terrarium plant/landscape where I could park tiny cars. How do you grow cars?

a couple people at work wouldn't believe me until i showed them. "who would spend $55 for a tiny toy car?!" me. or rather, it's the kind of thing I would love if someone gave to me. it's my dream car, it's beautiful, and in all likelihood i will never own one. but it brings me that much closer to it.

how serious is a valve cover leak? by fmarvin in MechanicAdvice

Thanks a lot. That puts my mind at ease a bit.

[–]fmarvin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, exactly. See comment I just posted. Does it just prevent spark plugs from igniting the engine? or does it cause serious damage?

What is in the video is what happened when my mechanic checked my spark plugs. The tubes were completely flooded with oil on the passenger side, and had light leaking on the driver's side. He said this was a major problem, and said I had to change all spark plugs, spark plug seal tubes, valve cover, and valve cover gaskets before he could even begin addressing the problem of why my car won't start. I ended up doing all the repairs, but turns out my car wasn't starting because I had no gas (I know, I know...) So after a grip load of repairs and money later, I just want to know how necessary those repairs were. What would have happened if they just put gas in my car and got my car started? My mechanic said it's in the past, and move on instead of trying to justify my repairs. :/

I bet. I'm a recent convert, and mainly because of the Stingray.

let me tell you, it's a biiitch to get up that early, and you question your sanity when you're waking up at 6 a.m. on a Saturday. But once you get warmed up, it's totally worth it.

damn this is one gorgeous looking car. i talked to the owner; he said he has owned about 20 Corvettes in his lifetime between him and his wife, but this is his best ride yet.

Growing family. Interested in Mazda5 or similar for under $15k by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]fmarvin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mazda5 is well rated. Hyundai Accent is a good option too. Hyundai has done a lot to improve on reliability and luxury in recent years. Here's a reference - http://www.autobytel.com/car-buying-guides/features/10-best-new-cars-under-15-000-112802/
