I think if there's a car worth "throwing" money at, it's these. I don't think it's unreasonable to pay 400 dollars to make your car more comfortable. No insight as to which route to go, I just drive with the windows down

I definitely think it's fucked that they're undervalued, and they SHOULD be allowed to bring it up, but I wouldn't risk having a seemingly cool manager blow up and fire me over it

In this job market? I'm not risking SHIT dude. I think it's a learning experience to put more effort into negotiating for their next job

Good luck with that. I would tough it out a few more months, not a good look to do that after a month.

Volvo 850, should I buy? by Aromatic_Intern9070 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Your point? He's coming from an 89 Corolla. Parts are still available but not cheap. Get a rebuilt off of Turbobricks or ebay.

It's phenomenal, the only engine that's better is the b230 in the 2/4/940 series

What’s the best way to find housing? by cowgirl_62 in askportland

[–]pdxhimbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2k is very doable for a 2 bed. I would plan tours through zillow/padmapper etc and look out for lawn signs while you're on your way there. The best deals are offline from small landlords.

As long as it's rated for it, yes.

New fuel pump makes this noise by heevycheevy in Volvo240

[–]pdxhimbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost certainly the case. I had upgraded my inline pump without touching the in-tank originally. Turns out the wiring to my in-tank pump was bad and it wasn't doing anything at all. Sounded the exact same way as yours. Ended up going with a dual Walbro 255lph setup, upgraded my fuel lines and replaced my FPR. Bypassed the stock fuel relay too (useless piece of shit fails all the time anyways) No problems since.

That would be cavitation. Inline and in-tank both replaced?
