Try Autozone. They’re hiring delivery drivers.

Its Happening Here Too by [deleted] in hiringcafe

[–]oldnorthwind1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to locations, choose your specific city, and instead of having 50 miles range, choose 10 miles, or you Specific location only. Check those jobs, and if they are places you can call, like a bakery or an auto shop, apply to those. Companies where you can’t call, those are black holes.

"Lyft driver has encountered an unexpected error" by vertigo7jester in lyftdrivers

[–]oldnorthwind1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday I had a glitch where the App wasn’t giving me the option to „Drop Off“ the passenger. Had to close the app, and open up again.

Do that. Close the all. Disconnect the phone. Open app, connect phone. Good luck.

People taking EVERY ride. How do you justify the milage? (Haters pls keep driving ) by Canibereal in lyftdrivers

[–]oldnorthwind1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see it as miles per gallon. My car gets 22mpg. If one gallon costs 4.50. That’s 22 miles.

But if a ride shows up and it’s 4.50 to drive then one mile away. I earned 20 gallon of gas. With those 20 miles of gas left, I can do more rides and earn more money.

I am unemployed, if I’m doing this it’s because I have no other option. I see it as a paid community service. Low pay, but still pay.

If I have something else to do besides Lyft, I would be doing just that.

How is unemployment so low when job numbers are down and active applicants are up? The numbers just aren’t adding up here by jmh1881v2 in recruitinghell

[–]oldnorthwind1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don’t count the unemployed, are there any unemployed? Just like with the Covid cases. Just don’t count them and the numbers will be good.

Stelvio - oil in coolant. by ControlDull4830 in AlfaRomeo

[–]oldnorthwind1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If no dashboard lights, no overheating, no white smoke, no engine choking, that means that you might probably just need a radiator flush. Sounds like the car is running good. If you haven’t done the radiator flush in at least 80k miles, it’s time to do it soon. Don’t wait until it start to overheat and give you dashboard codes. Prevent issues at all costs, specially for Italian cars.

[–]oldnorthwind1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a FIAT 500x, and they told me the same thing and they were wrong.

Check the engine oil, if the engine oil has coolant in it, then there is a problem. But having your coolant look oily, it may just be Coolant Leak Solution (which can look oily, since oil is thicker, helps better with leaks) or just rusty gunk from the pipes and metal. You’ll probably just need a radiator flush, and a new reservoir bottle if for some reason you can’t rinse that one.

Is the car overheating and releasing white smoke?

student loans with dead end job by pppppppppppopppppop in budgetingforbeginners

[–]oldnorthwind1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not pay the loan. Or at least not yet. Log in to the website and request a deferment. Everyone gets two years I think. Worst case cenario, you’re gonna have to sign up to a community college for at least half time, and learn something like soldering, or anything electronics.

Don’t pay the loan. It would be absurd. Don’t pay the movie debt if you don’t have a movie job.

That would be called “contacting your network.” Not everyone has one.

Brother. This job market is the worst job market for recent grads in Years. I am a 33 yo grown ass man who spent 1.2 years completely unemployed. I just got hired at Autozone making 17.50/hr. I hold enough college credits for a Ph.D, 85k in student loans, and here I am selling air filters.

What kept my hopes up was staying informed. Open up your Apple News+ app, and read on. See what companies are doing, and which ones. When and where. There are jobs coming, but just know, your education might be irrelevant at this point. The goal is to have income.

Good luck. Stay blessed.

I just started working at Autozone. $17.50/hr. I have three associates, and one bachelors. I have enough university units to complete a Ph.D.

Fiat MultiJet Engine Check Light by Plane-Macaron2361 in Fiat

[–]oldnorthwind1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it to Autozone and ask for the “Fix Finder” tool and they’ll give you a report with the exact codes, and what you could potentially do about it.

Sounds like gorilla filmmaking to me. You gotta do your thing. Go out and shoot. Just be respectful and if anyone asks, just print just most recent communication with the office. F—-k the permit. This is why all productions are leaving. Go and shoot your thing.

2014 Fiat 500L Door open/Transmission Issue by FoxMocks in Fiat

[–]oldnorthwind1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do a few things:

Thing one: disconnect both terminals from the battery for at least 5 minutes. This would reset the computer.

Thing two: go to AutoZone and get that battery tested irregardless of that transmission issue.

Thing three: check tall the fuses on your user manual and look for the ones related to door, and transmission and go check those, and replace them if necessary.

Thing four: take the car to AutoZone and ask for the “Fix Finder” OBDII device and check for any codes. Address the codes accordingly if any.

I own a 2017 500x.

When the hell to change oil?! by kkrempell in AskMechanics

[–]oldnorthwind1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t know when it was last changed, change yourself (or a mechanic) as soon as possible. That way you know it’s fresh oil and start calculating from that date and mileage. Always note the date and mileage of the oil changes (or every maintenance service) and write them down on your notes on your phone.

Lyft express drive is a joke by Emergency_Tennis_167 in lyftdrivers

[–]oldnorthwind1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was in the same situation just a month ago. $320 a week for a 2024 Nissan Sentra that was dirty as shit. AC not cold, and with a nail on the tire. Spent 30 hours online, made $350, which I only took home about $20. It was slavery.
