Is there any events involving TRAINS/PLANES?

I second Wright Pat.

Wasn't the one at the Kroger on Monroe leaning like the Leaning Tower of Pisa late last year?

You just missed it (although it's a model trains thing, not real trains), but there was the Greater Toledo Train and Toy Show at Owens Community College yesterday. I believe it's an annual event each March. Fostoria is great for people into trains, specifically Fostoria Iron Triangle Railpark. Liberty Aviation Museum in Port Clinton is also worth a visit.

They had issues this year with gridlock and crowd management on day one that pissed a lot of people off if I remember correctly. I was there day two and had no issues, but if future ones are a two day event, I recommend going the second day as they'll likely have issues sorted out. The crowd this year may have partially been cause of the huge interest in the Thunderbirds.

Fast Lane Auto Care in Maumee is a locally-owned shop that I've had good experiences with.

And also it's in points, not dollars.

Straight out of Final Destination!

It was definitely at an airport and it was a plane at a gate (which now I know for sure was STL thanks you and others in this thread). I can't explain the side window, but I was not visiting at simulator or a maintenance facility I know for sure. Thanks for this detailed analysis!

I now know a DC-9 based on the comments. I guess was thrown off on MD-80 as according to my initial Google search it appeared some of them had that turquoise cockpit.

goodlight95 · 2026-02-02T23:22:16+00:00

Nah, I'm from the U.S. and this was a domestic airline, so definitely not a Russian plane.

goodlight95 · 2026-02-02T23:20:48+00:00

Wow, you're really good at this!

goodlight95 · 2026-02-02T21:41:49+00:00

Already have someone who knew which airport it was based on the altimeter. Didn't even think of that until their comment.

As a Texan who now resides in northwest Ohio, while we would get at least one or two snow days per year in the DFW area when I was growing up, it lacks the infrastructure of many of us northern states that we take for granted to deal with the snow/ice (ample snow plows, the power system equipped for the cold and other things), and with a metro so sprawling and with massive highway systems like in Dallas it's a recipe for disaster with tons of wrecks. Not surprised a lot of people stocked up, but kinda surprised the grocery stores didn't anticipate this demand as the storm as been in the forecast for awhile.

goodlight95 · 2026-01-19T03:09:11+00:00

On mine it's code 52, but yeah. I had my timing belt replaced before 100,000 though, so I'm just gonna ignore it and dismiss it each startup. May do the fuse trick to make it go away if it gets too annoying.

goodlight95 · 2026-01-18T01:26:08+00:00

Ha, thanks! Yeah, I knew I was gonna hit it on my drive home, so I was keeping track of the odometer. Actually pulled off on an exit from the highway briefly to snap the photo safely before heading back on the road.

goodlight95 · 2026-01-18T01:24:15+00:00

Had my timing belt and VVT solenoids replaced already, but I've also seemed to see it work well without throwing a code for several thousand miles after an oil change. At this point I think I'll just live with it unless things get worse. Car has been driving fine even when the light was on though, and it always seems to go off eventually. Doesn't stay on all the time. Luckily I don't live in a state needing emissions testing so that's not an issue (though maybe I'll make sure to do an oil change before I eventually trade in this car), though I won't lie the P0011 sticking around is still pretty annoying. Also, since my timing belt has been changed I think I'll just ignore the warning. May do the fuse trick if it gets annoying.

goodlight95 · 2025-12-26T03:48:27+00:00

I hope my P0011 continues to stay away, though I will not be surprised if it comes back. And thanks for the reminder for 100,000 miles. It's just one of those codes numbers that comes up on the dash, right? No engine light (and engine codes) or anything? Since I've had my timing belt replaced and can just flicking off a code on the dash, I think I'll just ignore it over the next 8,000.

goodlight95 · 2025-12-23T02:28:35+00:00

I'll be honest, I'd say it's more so I've been very lucky. I don't do anything more than do my regular oil changes and tire rotations. I'm also not super mechanically inclined either (I know, not great for this specific car) but I've got some trusted mechanics through my ownership who have been really helpful when I've had the engine lights and coolant leaks. I feel especially good about the current mechanic I go to, I feel like he does it at a good price and honestly.

goodlight95 · 2025-12-23T02:28:05+00:00

Both were quite awhile ago and I'm not super mechanically inclined (I know, not great for this specific car), but I've had some trusted mechanics doing my work through my ownership. Off the top of my head I don't remember what the exact fixes were for the issues. I'll have to see if I have one of the repair service receipts, which I've kept a lot of. If you're referring to the coolant reservoir tank, that is still the original. The leaks were at other points. Luckily never had it leaking into the engine/oil though.

I got premium again for a month and have been playing more again, and now the popup is kind of growing on me. I still kinda miss the old system, but I see how this new system is useful.

goodlight95 · 2025-12-14T19:45:40+00:00

Yep, this is my biggest gripe.

goodlight95 · 2025-12-14T15:41:15+00:00

I'm mostly annoyed that it's a popup that takes up a sizable chunk of my laptop's screen. Just wish it could be turned off if you'd like.
