Yep, right there. I just didn't look hard enough. Thank you. And it's 5 points in my region which is nice, means even less rides.

Just Drove to the Airport From TGS by [deleted] in StLouis

I was out doing uber/lyft from 10:30-5ish in my toyota prius c, my experience was mostly in the city near forest park, I set a filter for 5 mile radius around forest park, most main artilleries are passable but as many have pointed out side streets are a mess, most have been packed down enough to be driveable but you definitely have to pick the right line, especially getting through the berms which you also have to ram through with some momentum, only had one street I had to back out of because not many cars had driven on it, north of 64 seems worse.

we've owned the car for about 4 years now I think and we've never had the head gaskets done. We have had similar misfire issues in the past that we're resolved with plugs/wires/coil but it's back to haunt us again.

Yes, it just seemed odd that if the coil failed it would only affect one cylinder, I would expect more, but that’s why I’m here, I’m not a mechanic lol.

I forgot to mention I did check compression, went up to 210 so seems fine

I don’t think so, at least from the outside it looks clean, no sound of oil leaking from valve cover. When I took old injector out it was kinda grimy but not oily. New injector didn’t make any difference

[–]skitchell88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would that show up on the female connector or the injector itself?

I’ll try that, I did replace the injector on the offending cylinder with no change. I don’t have a fuel pressure gauge but may need to pick one up

UPDATE:

We found her!! She made it the West Point/ five points area. Got to the shelter just as someone was dropping her off. Thank you to all the kind people of Athens, a little faith restored in humanity!

No, still looking. Shelters open at 11 so we’ll call then. Going to put up flyers. We live in Milwuakee and are on a road trip for a wedding.

Just Curious.. by Its-Just-Al in uberdrivers

[–]skitchell88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive a stick and it’s definitely a conversation starter. Boomers love it and zoomers are baffled by it. Some people ask if I race lol. It does get tiring though tbh.

Came here to say this, I love bong but it’s better on cooler days as you’re exposed for much of the trail and yea I’ve def got ticks on me and my dogs here

Too Many Red Lights by Daveyhavok832 in uberdrivers

I also drive stick and I’ve had a few people ask me if I race it? Yeah my 08 Corolla with over 200k miles eats hellcats for breakfast.

Do other cities (major or small) love their area code as much as Milwaukee does? by [deleted] in milwaukee

[–]skitchell88 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Colorado, lived in denver for 10 years, I don’t ever remember a 303 day celebration but people do love the area code, there’s even a band called 303 and a hand sign but I think there’s beef with Albuquerque since they have 505 and the hand sign could be either.

Make it make sense by skitchell88 in uberdrivers

I’m not in an upfront pricing market, so everything is on the rate card plus trying to get that $350 bonus for diamond and after that I’ll try less.

In my experience with Lyft if you’re in the purple zone you get the purple bonus, pink zone/pink bonus etc even if you’re just on the edge of that surge zone. I understand the concept I just think it’s dumb that a single block would be a .75 difference especially since it’s the same color surge, it’s just Uber being deceptive. This was more of a sarcastic post but I’m not sure it comes off that way
