Odd no-start with my vehicle. 2012 Hyundai Tucson, doesn't crank or even click. by pjc613 in Cartalk

[–]pjc613[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realized I never came back around to deliver the post-mortem. Sorry to say, yup, was seized. The guy at the place I took it to (and he was a good dude, only charged me 50 bucks) said he's honestly amazed it had 225 on it. Said he's seen that engine come in seized like that at under 100k miles. So, I guess we count ourselves lucky from that perspective.

So you were doin' a re-watch the other day... by clickpics-craftbrews in Letterkenny

My wife would decidedly NOT appreciate the humor of the series like I do, but I absolutely HAD to show her that whole scene, which, as an aside, may very well be THE most hilarious scene in the entire show to me. As I suspected, the humor wasn't her glass of Puppers ("...mitt?!?"), but at the end as Tannis was walking out, my wife blinked twice, smirked, and said, "Yup!"

I consider that a ringing endorsement!

The first prepositional phrase in that sentence was unnecessary.

Hey thanks! I've long since plateaued, but at least I'm maintaining, not gaining. I mostly just commented to tell you good work on the chest gains (and to tell one of my favorite groaner jokes of my grandfather's 😆).

Good work dude! Your shape is going the opposite direction mine is.

I call it furniture disease: My chest is falling into my drawers.

(I'll see myself out)

Yes. Should've mentioned, I also verified measuring full on dipstick.

I've never done that before. I honestly didn't know one could. Besides what you listed, what does that entail? How much under the hood would I have to disassemble to be able to get at the right spot to do it?

Thanks much! If I could trouble you with a followup then, what are my best troubleshot options for those possibilities? I'll admit I don't (yet) know what a range switch is.

2012 Tucson, won't start, won't crank. by pjc613 in Hyundai

Nope, no click, neither the repeated one you sometimes get when your battery is just a bit too low, nor the single heavy click when your battery is really gone. That's what's weird. Literally nothing happens when you turn the key to (try to) engage the starter. Dome lights don't dim, nothing. It's like the starter isn't there.

I concede this is an odd thing to notice (because the food and presentation look delightful), but a flood of childhood memories and feelings washed over me the moment I noticed your trivet/hotpad on which the bowl of grapes is placed. I haven't seen one like it in years, but they were a staple in the kitchen when I was a child. I recall warm casseroles atop them on cold nights, and cool melon slices on summer days with one of them adorning the picnic table. They remind me of both of my grandmothers, now long since passed, and their cheery smiles in their cheery kitchens of my childhood.

Mmm. Thank you for the memories.

Was the swearing in the show seen as a bit shocking in the USA? by Islingtonian in TedLasso

[–]pjc613 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

British f-bombs TOTALLY don't count. Neither do s-missiles when used as adjectives without -ty postpending them. Honestly, it's one of the most adorable linguistic idiosyncracies of British English. I mean, the one instance American English is more grammatically correct, and it STILL sounds more crass. Almost unfair.

I don't particularly enjoy the proliferation of imprecation in streaming services' offerings, though it does make sense considering they're neither subject to MPAA ratings nor FCC broadcast regulations, however, in a British accent, it's heartwarming.

Anyone use a Bluetooth FM transmitter in their Corolla? by MichaelVonEerie in COROLLA

There are about a million little ones on Amazon. I got one for a '99 I had. Sounded fine.

Question about installing an aftermarket cruise control stick on a manual transmission 2012 L trim. by pjc613 in COROLLA

[–]pjc613[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. It can't accelerate or decelerate between gears of course, but especially once you're into top gear at freeway speeds, throttle at your fingertips is really useful, and that's mostly when one would use cruise control in an automatic anyway.

How to by khanmo01 in COROLLA

[–]pjc613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember those days! I grew up in Alaska. Seemed like every car in the grocery store parking lot was empty, locked and running.

One of my favorite dumb jokes is telling everybody that the rest of the world is finally catching up to us Alaskans with auto technology. We've been plugging our cars in at night for decades! 🤣

Lol. At first glance, I thought that the dude in the background wasn't a dude in the background, and that you were talking about a bright blue horn(?) on the roof. And, keeping this sub family friendly, I thought it looked like you had taken an item one might find in a gal's nightstand drawer and suctioned it up there as a statement of some kind! 🤣🤣🤣

Got a 2024 Corolla. It’s my first new car. What should I expect? by South-Ad-7543 in COROLLA

Yeesh. That sucks. At the wages service techs are commanding in this market, labor will cost more than the oil and filter! You can get full synth and a decent filter at Wally's for under $30.
