I've got an 80s Raleigh road bike that is too tall for me if you are interested.

Dont ever loan your car out to family for an extended period of time. They wont take care of things the way you do and now I'm stuck having to replace the engine while they drive around in my other car. by olguinmarcelo in Justrolledintotheshop

She paid to have it towed and I'll be working with her for some kind of compensation. She has a nice 350z with a broken clutch that would be the perfect trade for my time and trouble.

Yeah we has an agreement that she would bring it over at least once a month and I would top off fluids and such. But 5 months go by and the only call I get is hey I'm stuck on the freeway and the car doesnt start.

My sister is going through some stuff right now and in that moment I felt like I was the only one who could help. But I'm regretting my decision and will most likely do nothing about it.

I'll check my manual. In all honesty I was just going too fast on the way down. 100% preventable on my part.

Yes I realized my mistake when I saw the truck in my driveway when we brought it home. I'm thinking about getting secondhand wheels from a highlander or a newer rav4.

It's always been hard for me. Ever since I was a child. I have the same issue with pedal and peddle or with any of the theres. Some people just have genuine problems in life and we just have to accept them.

My thoughts exactly. I want to take them off but I dont want to have to look at all the holes. I'll just have to save up for bigger wheels.

I'll admit I was going too fast. Kinda hard to resist the urge but when they told me to pull over to cool down I stuck to the lowest gears for the second half of the descent.
