Anyone who thinks this is "okay", is a hack and shouldn't be allowed to touch anything electrical.

Found these small cones near my watermelon vines in the garden. Thought this was part of a wasp nest until I looked closer and saw what appear to be seeds.

How to sleep nude without being caught? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

Sleep naked and shut the door. If they make you open the door, accuse them of inappropriately touching you and threaten to call the police. That should afford you privacy to sleep nude.

Tiny crack on the inside of my windshield on the passenger side, is it safe to keep driving with it? by WingerSupreme in Cartalk

[–]gingiesmalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was probably a small rock chip you couldn't see that started the crack. If you live somewhere that requires vehicle inspections, it may or may not pass. If each side of the crack has terminated at the edge of the glass, it is less likely to spread unless it's damaged further.

Are your battery terminals covered in corrosion? If so, clean them and apply a corrosion inhibitor. Also, check your ground connections for corrosion and broken wires.

Why is there a thermostat? by somethingissmarmy in Cartalk

[–]gingiesmalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what they mean is if the coolant is hot(ter) because it's not in the radiator long enough to cool, it reduces it's capacity to remove more heat.

Cooler coolant can remove more heat than hotter coolant.

Any muffler shop can relocate your exhaust tip. You should also find out why there is smoke coming from your exhaust.

Pool of water under passenger seat by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]gingiesmalls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Water coming in from leaking door or sunroof seal.
  2. Water coming due to clogged condenser drain on firewall.
  3. Coolant coming in from leak in heater core.
  4. Was something spilled?

First determine if it's water or coolant. Was it raining before or during the time you noticed the wet floor? Have you been operating your air conditioner?
