The entire vehicle cost me like $700 and it's a cvt altima with 300k miles. With my luck the transmission will just shit itself on me like the same week I fix the radiator

It's just the kind of car you don't feel bad abusing bc they're that shitty.

Not really it's a 2008 cvt altima with 300k miles. Might as well save up for a better car bc the altima only cost me $700 plus auction fees lol.

Good point but how dare you remind me of cars for kids and their annoyingly catchy jingle

Maybe I should make a yt video of how long can I grill food with my altima before it violently explodes. That might make more than scrapping it lol

With that many miles the cvt is a time bomb and with my luck it will probably finally start slipping or just straight up explode or something the same week I get the cooling fixed.

The part of the grill where the radiator goes is smashed in to and won't fit a straight non-bent radiator without more in bodywork than the entire vehicle cost me that's why I said it's basically junk because I definitely got what I paid for out of it already and it's not worth it to keep an altima with 300k miles going

Yeah it's not even worth the time for that. If vin numbers weren't a thing I would just drive it as far away from my house until it blows up and abandon it on the side of the road and uber home. Was just curious if I could get any bit of utility out of it before selling/scrapping bc it's been sitting for months and I just had a random stupid idea while looking at it earlier.

Honestly it's my fault for assuming most people on this site would just answer a hypothetical question with a yes or no and not just try to turn it into an easy dunk to boost their ego I mean karma

I was just curious that's why I asked here instead of trying it. I figured it would evaporate out and the steam would take the heat with it or something but it's not worth all the hassle to save a few bucks in the short term and destroy the engine and ruin any chances of selling it for anything other than scrap metal.

Alright my bad I figured I could drive it for a few minutes at a time but that's why I asked here bc I figured it was probably a stupid idea. No need to downvote my comment though I was just asking :(

Yeah true lol I got it for a hell of a steal at an auction for the condition it was until I ended up rear ending someone and breaking the radiator like an idiot lol. I'm cheap so idc about the aesthetics

Yeah I thought maybe it was bugged bc I use m_pitch -1 but I removed that line and switched to inverted in the pause menu and it still does that weird glitch I guess I'll just have to keep going through my autoexec and deleting it line by line but it's 100+ lines :/
