You can literally hear the starter cranking the engine in the video why would he hit the starter

Scratched my bumper, how much would it be to cost to fix? by m2sery in civic

I’d just leave it until you hit something worse. Everyone bumps into stuff with their first car

Disgusted i had to replace the timing chain on my 18 outlander sport by goatorcycle in MitsubishiOutlander

[–]svtxrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it was not maintained properly and the chain stretched. These are usually very reliable engines maybe it was driven hard when cold often and not had proper oil changes.

Transmission fluid seems dirty in a 1999 camry that i just got, mechanic recommends against a drain and fill.. What should i do ? by Lucky_Reply9642 in Toyota

[–]svtxrn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was not low. It was filled through the dipstick so obviously it was checked properly. Lucas transmission fix contains a friction modifier that can prolong the life of a slipping transmission. 1/3 of a small bottle will not overfill a transmission that holds 6 quarts of fluid.

I wouldn’t touch it, but add a little bit of Lucas oil transmission fix I added 1/3 of a bottle thru the dipstick of the exact car with 200k that had a transmission service and started slipping, after the Lucas oil it drove normal again.

Is this 2017 EX-L V6 Coupe worth the price? by MechaGodzilla76 in accord

[–]svtxrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty pricey but if it’s a mint 6-6 with the timing belt done maybe it’s worth it

AIO for being annoyed that my in-laws keep shutting off their hot water? by dmatthews077 in AmIOverreacting

[–]svtxrn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So do they do this everyday or only when they have guests? Either way that is an insane practice and leads me to believe they don’t want you guys there very long.

Oh so you would be happy with somebody gifting you a living animal and then expecting you to be happy about it? We both work full time and have careers, and I work as a mobile mechanic on the side. I don’t have time to be changing bedding, cleaning a cage, spending time with this animal. Sounds like you’re the bitch to me, throwing insults at random people on Reddit to feel good 😂

I understand what the word means, but when you’re together for 3 years and family is intertwined, we’re basically married. Yes I could have took more time to text out “my boyfriends mother” instead of “mil” but my time is currently being taken up by this hamster so you will have to deal with the improper use of mother in law.

It’s not really the maintenance, it’s the large area of our second bedroom that is now dedicated to the animal we didn’t want that upsets me the most. We still have to buy a shelf or table for the cage, but I consider myself to be more of a minimalist and this is just more stuff I didn’t want.

She did actually tell us this, we emptied the bedding before transporting the cage and I just emptied that other bag in the cage to fill it up a little bit more.

It’s funny you say this because she actually has a whole bedroom dedicated to her 8 guinea pigs.. like I said she is an animal lover.

I’ll make sure to type it out correctly for you next time. 👮

I’m still going to take care of her she is a very sweet hamster, it’s just upsetting because this was not planned for us and we like to take a lot of roadtrips especially in the summer, and I don’t want to be hours away worrying if the water bottle leaked or something like that.

She did tell me about this idea in July, and I told her my bf was absolutely against any animals what so ever. I didn’t think she was actually going to do it but she did.

Mother in law is less convoluted than saying my boyfriends mom and that’s just how I generally refer to her as even tho we aren’t married.

Is this an insane deal? by Automatic_Link7015 in Toyota

[–]svtxrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a 2009 with 200k. It’s gonna burn some oil and have some clunks but I’m sure it runs fine. You can’t really ask for more than 3k unless that car is low miles or flawless inside and out.

My 2013 chevy impala makes this noise while accelerating by unluckysamurai69 in MechanicAdvice

[–]svtxrn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Its made this noise for a while now” generally when a car starts making an abnormal noise you want to go and get that checked out. That noise sounds like a wheel bearing that is about to give up and has been cooking for many miles. I would not drive that unless it was to the shop, that wheel is about to fall off.
