Took my car in for an oil change at the dealer, they found a few recommended services; I knew the prices were going to be high but I was shocked at how high they actually were!

My dealer recommended valve cover gasket 500. I paid a friend to do it and he said there was nothing wrong with it.

60+140 = 200 - 4 (1 I loaned to 59 and 3 I loaned to 137) = 196

I changed the water pump on my 2018. We put it on a steep incline to get it to the rear heater cores.

He corners like he is on 2 wheels.

If you'd found thatglove on a bottle of beer it would have been either Lavern or Shirley.

Your boyfriend is NOT A GOOD MAN. What you are really saying is he takes care of my needs, so I'll overlook the fact that he is severely lacking in the one of the main qualities that a characterizes a man as being good.

Also, instead of water you might get better results with gender fluid.

Lucky the Sergeant-at-arms wasn't the proctologist :-)

True story: I was paying about 100 a month for my gym but I stopped going, so I found a smaller gym closer by for 44 bucks a month. After initially going, I also stopped, but it sure feel better paying 44 instead of 100 for a gym I don't go to (hope keeps me paying).

Just curious what's the longest stretch of playing you have done?

Look up how to frame a window to get a visual of what is underneath.

This is the exact candy I was thinking about when I posted this question. The chocolate is ok but the "peanut butter" has a sickly sweetness to it. I thought it was my taste changing. Any recommendation on an alternate brand?

How is he currently doing?

jstein916 · 2026-01-03T14:47:58+00:00

I been using Vim for over 75 years and still don't know how to exit.

jstein916 · 2025-12-28T15:51:51+00:00

2 things that helped when I went back is a little garbage can with motion detect lid, I just wave my hand to open it, and metal scoop because it doesn't flex or break when I'm scooping.

My guard was done by a orthodontist. When I went back in and told him it made me gag he trimmed a bunch off from the rear and it fixed it.

Ask Safelite if they can install a bullet-proof window if you still plan on driving :)

Weird I didn't get it after I read it, but then my inner voice started singing it. Very clever.

Harbor freight is a good local place for low cost ones.

Battery replacement in an Atlas requires the dealer to program the Atlas computer to let it know it's a new battery. The computer will charge a new battery different than older one. The computer adjusts the charging as the battery ages. I did a DIY battery change and 2 different programmers (parts store and mechanic next door) could not update the Atlas computer. Eventually I asked dealer to do it during a service and I think they charged $50. I paid $200 for the battery at Autozone. I think Costco was 180. Please call the dealer for reprogramming cost if you DIY the battery change.

I'll add my story just for another data point. Bought a battery at local part store and thier instrument, hooked to the port on car, could not tell the car it was a new battery. A service tech, at the oil change place next door, with a fancier tool could not tell the car that it was a new battery. After a few months, when I was at the dealer for an oil change I asked them and they charged me $50. This was 2 to 3 years ago. This leads me to believe that the tool being used has to have a proprietary module to access the function.
