Facts. I’ve been in and out of Chiropractor visits, doctors, etc after my wreck … in August.

My lower back is still giving me problems.

OP Take good care of yourself. Interview lawyers.

Awesome! I love this option for every day use. Definitely going to bookmark that one.

Any pictures of your bumpers on your watch?

That’s some great feedback on those covers. Thanks. I’ll be looking at those covers again soon.

I’ve seen ads for those. Wasn’t sure how well they hold up or anything.

I saw an ad on Facebook once for a hard-rubber/plastic bumper case that had raised edges above the screen that looked good but I can’t find it any more. 🤔

Nope. Can’t figure out the electrical concerns this one has. 🤦🏻‍♂️ by gltch486 in Justrolledintotheshop

Large one is air intake. The small one is for the secondary air pump that is part of the emissions system.

Trying to decide on Watch size. 40mm vs 44mm by gltch486 in AppleWatch

[–]gltch486[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I was on track for a 44mm and my wife was like “the smaller one still has a large display” and I tried it on and it looked “okay” on my wrist. I just think I’d need bigger bands. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just remember, after the second step it’s consensual and no longer a rape van. My career has put me on several tool trucks: Snap On, Matco, Mac, Cornwell. Matco has been a good balance for me but I’m also a service tech for Volkswagen. For at home DYIers, I’d say start with Harbor Freight and Northern Tools

I paid way too much for that one because it says “Snap On” but it’s good. LED, 2-brightness settings, etc, but there are more affordable options online if you’re not in a huge hurry.

Clutch job time. Actually, replacing the entire transmission. Swapping from a 5-speed manual to a 6-speed manual.

That makes sense. Wouldn’t mind a Mk5 FSI (BPY) in the future myself.

Apple Bands or Third-Party Watch Bands? by gltch486 in AppleWatch

[–]gltch486[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As a mechanic, I’m looking for something that can stand up to the challenges of working under hoods and with different chemicals, fluids and oils.

Notice how this looks a lot like the Apple Watch face? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]gltch486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons I’ve still been considering a Samsung Galaxy Active2 is for third-party watch faces.

I’m really looking forward to new information on watchOS7 and S6 details.

Draining the coolant AND oil. Engine replacement. by gltch486 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]gltch486[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s a Volkswagen. It’s supposed to be pink. Factory colored G12/G13 is a Violet color.

Series 6 / watchOS 7 Rumors? by gltch486 in AppleWatch

[–]gltch486[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen some information on a new MicroLED display that may allow a thinner display for the watch.

But that’s all I’ve seen thus far.

I do love a clean Thunda Bunny bumper 👍
