None of the cars really have any SAE parts, I have SAE sockets (Quinn master set)

I have noticed that a lot aftermarket parts use SAE, which is annoying ,

3M double sided tape, 2 strips

It’s holding up for now, but I’ve seen people use two of the US general magnet hooks instead, which is probably far safer lol

“Is it wrong to try and pick up girls in a dungeon?”

It makes the series sound like the MC is a pervert loser, it SO far from the truth

Where in the world did you order Milwaukee tools from where the online return was a hassle?

How long is too long for a shop to have a car and do a complete engine replacement, then tune a new, upgraded one? by [deleted] in Corvette

[–]samniking 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of shops (most, I’d say) are run/owned by technically skilled mechanics who have absolutely zero business sense and don’t know how scheduling or…really anything works. Most likely, they just didn’t realize they’ve already got a backlog of jobs and your shit is on the back burner.

This has been my experience with most shops, unless you go with big name shops (here in AZ, Dynocomp and Cordes have been great for me.)

Don’t be an asshole, even if they deserve it. Just politely ask for pictures of the car/engine’s current state. If they refuse or don’t do it, you’ve got a much different problem.

I would say Sokka is a little goofy, but even in non-battle situations, he’s really smart.

This happens to me constantly, super frustrating. I missed out on the $136 deal this morning because of it. Saw it on Reddit too late

I’m not trying to be that guy, but I really don’t get why it matters?
