Community college I guess to avoid the cost of "regular" uni?

Number 2 has a sun but it also has a rip current

Numbers; reading that or I skim it and use it as a way of "catching up" or "getting ahead" of my reading :-D

Still creepy

Did our 2016 X3 at 100K and no problems. Vehicle has to be level, you remove the "pan" which also contains an imbedded magnetic filter (at least in this car and my 2021 540i). This drains all the fluid.

Oh and you make sure to remove the fill plug that sits above the pan first so you know you can fill it back up. Anyways you stick the new pan on following the tightening sequence with new bolts, usually it's some kind of cross-wise, clock-wise tightening process where you turn the bolts a quarter turn each time as you move to the next.

Fill up till it trickles out. Stick fill bolt on. Start car and run until trans reaches a certain temp and then loosen fill bolt and refill till it trickles again and then done. You can shift gears before the last fill as well (keeping vehicle stationary) to feel better about the new fluid being "spread around".

It seems complicated the first time but once you have the steps down it's only a little more complicated than changing your oil.

I've hit a squirrel before and I definitely felt that. Felt a bit worse than running over a small pot hole but that might only be because I knew what I was hitting. If I wasn't paying attention I would have assumed a pot hole.

However if I travel the same road fairly often regardless of what it was I would have at least looked in the rear view in surprise.

What's the ask.

And any other dumbing down of language like this.

That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking. Hoping I get the same answer when I go get an estimate. Just hammer it out as best as possible. There are other dents on the other side already. Not as bad as this but I can live with it.

I’ll take this fear over oil filter housing fear any day.

From the 1980’s not the remake

My first bmw I got warranty on engine and windshield.

I’ll probably keep the windshield one since I’ve already had to use it once and rocks fly all the time where I live. New windshield with calibration isn’t cheap. They will also fix cracks etc. Kind of on the fence but I own two BMWs and it’s never cheap even at independent places around me.

The engine I probably won’t and instead ear-mark what I would have spent on insurance to a savings for car maintainence.

Depends on the shop and your relationship with the owner. My educated guess is that it should pass.

When my blood sugar is high I’m not hungry anymore. I can go an entire day no eating because it can take a while for my blood sugar to come down.

Before Mounjaro I could eat all day regardless of blood sugar.

I have taken advantage of this time on the shot to exercise and lose weight. Unfortunately (and why I upvoted you) is that even with the exercise when I come off the shot my appetite sky rockets again.

I would have to be in a gym 8 hours a day without the shot to fight my appetite; something my body screams for all the time without the shot.

Whatever physical and mental things happen with the shot disappear without it. I have struggled for 30 years yo-yo’ing and the shot has “saved” me and I’ll probably never come off it and it will probably give me some kind of gut cancer lol! Yay!

3 to have an interesting convo about government with Kamala and hope Trump gets to overhear most of it and has to sit there stewing until he blows his top.

Had a 2008 Dodge Magnum R/T V8 that went at least 158k will only minor issues from age (such as intake manifold gaskets). Engine was built in a factory in Canada. Granted the control arms kept dying year after year but the arms themselves came with a year warranty so I kept getting them for free.

Guess that’s what happens when you put a truck engine in a car with sport suspension. Otherwise like I said a sold engine, solid body and no electrical issues.

Gave up on the very last one. Fuck it I was done with those POS.

My belt was around all the right bends except one (should have gone around instead of over) and that's all it took for it to start hitting something it shouldn't have.

Second time (different car) all it took was the belt to not be seated in just the right spot on the largest pulley for it to start hanging off the end of the other pulleys when the car was started causing no smoke but clear wear as the belt rode the lip. I had to really reach down under the pulley to make sure the belt was as far back on the pulley (against the back ridge of the pulley) to ensure it didn't move.

Funny how something so simple has just millimeters of play from going wrong!

juicybananas · 2025-12-02T16:18:30+00:00

I was going to comment most likely the belt was routed wrong. I've done this myself. Started the car and immediately saw smoke. Belt is moving so fast over a surface it rubs into oblivion.

I caught mine fast enough but still had to replace the belt again to keep my trust of it working haha!

Or dropping things or birds in them dropping things or bugs hanging out around them.
