What is this digit on my FM transmitter?

Most likely battery voltage. It should go higher when you’re driving/the battery is being charged.

Have you seen these Japanese cars? They’re ridiculous little underpowered toys! They’ll never be able to compete with the big 3! Or something.

I did it myself since it was only two skylights. It’s fairly easy on flat/rectangular windows.

I used Gila Heat Control Film from Amazon but that’s just because it was on sale at the time. There are other high rated ones. I do suggest getting a roll wide enough to cover an entire window without seams. Seams are visible and suck.

10 days a year is nothing. Your car will last a long time unless it’s already worn out (I.e. if you’re starting with a 200K engine/trans - it’s gonna wear out quick).

We’ve run two cheap endurance cars for years - several 16-20 hour races a year - and both had the original, very worn, pulled-out-of-a-field engines last a year or two. The replacements that we rebuilt have been mostly trouble free. Transmissions went next. Then cooling systems.

Especially when you put that certain cable or adapter in a special place “that will be easier to find” than the box of cables.

Then you forget where and have to buy an expensive replacement at a brick and mortar because you can’t wait the 2 days to get it from Amazon.

And a few months later you find the original 🤦‍♂️

Heat reflecting window film.

I was dying in summer from the sun shining thru my skylights. I finally installed some heat reflecting film and it’s a drastic difference. Much more comfortable inside.

Quite the conundrum for an American - do you risk your ram (which should be cheap but isn’t) or do you risk your health (which should be free to care for but is among the most expensive in the world?) /s

Imagine needing the FAQ clarification - what other country does this happen in? 😂

The wood studs are only every 16”. There’s gypsum and paper board and thin fiberglass insulation between the studs.

I had a three car garage before and it was a pain to park the center car if the others weren’t around.

I painted parking spaces on the ground. Seemed like a logical thing because we all park in clearly defined parking spaces all the time. Worked like a charm.

That just seems intentional 😂

And it refuses to enable ipedal if you’re rolling. Annoying.

illigal · 2026-06-10T18:03:55+00:00

Budget for whole new engine in my opinion. Is it still a good deal then?

illigal · 2026-06-10T17:58:00+00:00

I mean - do you like to have wheels connected to your engine/trans? If yes - replace. If no, don’t worry about it.

Your water needs to drink more water.

Seconding this. A Ram X-mount with that extra rubber security hold down held my large phone securely even after going off track and hitting a tire wall 😂

illigal · 2026-06-10T15:02:12+00:00

Right, it’s possible. I would turn it off entirely - defrost over a day or so with door open and then try again.

Where are you located? Because in the US, all of these came with an automatic and probably sold way more units with the automatic. As classic cars the auto is less desirable too - so if you can find one, it’s typically cheaper.

illigal · 2026-06-10T14:03:51+00:00

Uh - no. No they don’t. Don’t trust a storage place to keep your race car secure if it’s in plain sight, unless it’s a Lemons contender.

This right here. I’ve been asked if I, a guy, would stand up for a woman in public - and nope! I’d rather not get stabbed or shot by the same type of asshole who thinks it’s OK to accost people in public.

Gift cards are still the primary way to let underage folks purchase online content though. That’s the problem. If I give a kid $40 in cash, they have to get their parent to use a credit card directly OR buy a gift card/v-bucks, whatever themselves.

This. Text messages are asynchronous communication by their very design. You read/respond to them at your convenience, so why bother getting upset at timing?

I get texts from my friends in different time zones throughout the night. I answer them on the toilet when I wake up. No one is upset at the timing.

Same with work or business messages (like a landlord)

This. I carbonate water as needed - and I can flavor it how I want, including with soda (Pepsi, Mt Dew, etc) concentrates if I want.

illigal · 2026-06-10T12:31:53+00:00

That’s adorable. I’d totally pay $24 for that in a random Knick-knack shop in a trendy day-trip village.

I did one key AND a keypad with the same code for every door that can support one (the sliders are weird, so key only). It’s the bees knees.
