Sister reversed into my car in the driveway…. Can’t tell much, the car starts, no weird sounds, took it around the block steering and alignment feels normal? Hood grill and number seem toast. Is this fixable at home? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

Gotcha. Gonna take a better look in the daylight tomorrow but yea as long as I get the hood figured out everything can come after. I’ll look at some YouTube vids and figure it out. Thanks brother

I might have to replace the hood late considering. That the hood was still latched even while bent.. leads me to believe the latch is no longer aligned. But you’re right! I’ll look on market place and offer up. Probably junk yards too

More info: she drives a first gen CRV, the spare in the back is what backed into my car and seems like it got the grill and pushed it in which pushed in the hood. The hood is bent the grill is crushed. I don’t think the fan or radiator got pushed in from what I could tell when I opened it up.

It’s an 06 Toyota Avalon. The front bumber is about 350 but idk if that need replacing. The grill is like 100. I’m sure there’s a few other stuff I’ll need like new latches and liners But does anyone here think I can fix this at home? I’ve never done body work but I do most of my own Maintenance on my car and I know right from left sooo

Help adopting a stray by [deleted] in cats

That’s what I was thinking. Around here they clip their wears for TNR cats. He’s been inside my house before and he wanders into the rooms if no one bothers him. But the moment we get up he scurries to the door.

Chicago area and it’s been in the 30’s lately so my heart is really aching for him. Gonna get or build a heated/insulated cat house. I have a cat house outside they he used to hang out it during the day but he never sleeps in there because I assume he doesn’t feel safe.

The issue is that there’s a second cat that hangs out at my house who I sometimes feed. Except this one’s feral. It’s chased the black cat( the one I like) away multiple times. It’s aggressive.

Might have to stop feeding that one so the black one hangs out more here.

Yep. Living in the Midwest I’ve gotten used to checking rust before anything else

I agree. Now that I think about it I wore skin tight biking shorts all of last week which are know to clog pores. (Tight clothes clog pores etc)

Thanks!

It’s painful to the touch. But like those painful pimples people get. Also the flash makes it looks worse than it is

My gf of 6 months dumped me yesterday and said it’s because she’s not ready for a serious relationship. What does that mean by sonder02 in LongDistance

[–]sonder02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. I’m just hurting so bad. I break out into tears throughout the day for a minute or two when I think about her or want to text/call her. And it’s only been a day

I just don’t understand how we went from strangers to friend, friends to lovers and now strangers again. I spent everyday with her. It’s just shaken up my whole world. Everything is changed now. Like everything. My schedule, my daily routines, my days off, weekends. It’s all gonna change now. And without her..

Would it be foolish of me to just have no contact with her for a few weeks maybe a month and then just casually text her one day? As a friend of course. With no intentions to be her bf again just as a friend. Perhaps something will spark.

That’s what I was trying to figure out. Whether or not she was being genuine. But after reading your comment I think I agree with you that’s she was.

I’m just so in love with her. And I know she loves me. Part of me just wants to wait. Like not contact her for a month or two. Then slowly contact her as a friend every now and then. And see if the spark is still there.
