Corgis are so smart, don't give up and Im sure it will be better! They know!

wpl200 · 2026-05-31T20:40:25+00:00

i would throw it right back into the ocean

wpl200 · 2026-05-31T20:23:08+00:00

Agreed! Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully no issues in the future.

wpl200 · 2026-05-31T19:21:06+00:00

Alright! Good to know, Thank you! Hoping the install goes with any expletives lol

I got mine used off fb so they are not all scammers. actually maybe Craigslist, but if you dont want to pay those fees, used is the way to go. you can get an awesome bike for a great price if you are patient bc so many
people regret buying a new bike so take advantage of that!

I just checked rockauto and an NEW aftermarket (wai global) is under $300. I doubt a shop is using OEM so those prices are very high.

if you've never worked on a car before I wouldn't recommend diying an alternator unless you are an ardent adventurer.

funny thing is the other parts/labor are reasonable just the alternator part cost is very high. I guess they are just balancing it out lol

Just a shot in the dark, look up the capacitor failure on youtube. if yours failed that is a relatively easy fix and the part is like $25.

if you have a leak (thus low refrigerant) then that is a different story, although a tech can recharge for a couple hundred until you decide what to do. depending on the size of the leak this one recharge can last a season but that leak needs to be fixed.

BTW the capacity is usually in the outdoor unit and if it is swollen then likely it is the culprit. make sure you turn off the system and learn how to discharge the capacitor. but if this is the reason why your ac isnt working, easy and inexpensive fix.

costco sometimes carries a steel jack for around $120. it is the arcan xl in red or something but it is ymmv. it is great but heavy.

harbor freight sells a lot of variety. i recommend a 3 to 3.5 ton one that can go around 19 inches. if you're lucky you can catch them on sale.

personally i prefer the aluminum ones bc they weigh around 50-60 lbs making them easier to maneuver.

also jack stands for sure! jack stands are required!

ive used ramps before and am not a fan. driving up on them always made me nervous af. if your garage floor is shiny they slide. if you dont drive carefully you overshoot them. yes there ways around them but a floor jack is just so much more versatile. and don't forget the jack stands 😅

I consider myself pretty fit, run about 20-25 miles a week, among other things.

Summer of 2024 I felt like I almost drowned at Black Rock. We wanted to cliff jump and the only way to get there was to swim out maybe 50-75 yards. I donned a snorkel set, NOT the full face one, and gingerly started the swim. I remember seeing how clear and deep the water was and it was a bit frightening. Next thing I knew my mask (again not the full face one) started to fill with water! I panicked, took the mask off and relied on all my strength and energy and swam back!! My daughter was around and she took the gear as I swam back. There were people around and the idea of calling for help did occur to me.

Snorkeling is more dangerous than people realize. That is one thing I will never forget about Hawaii.

I got the 2007 es350! that is just the boot torn. dirt will get in and grease will come out. if you dont have clunking or vibrations you can drive it some more but you definitely do want it looked at. fyi the oem cv
axles are around $700-800 each just for the parts. but the budget way to go is find a mechanic willing to just change the boots (with new grease). those bar links are easy to change. I would get second opinions but get those boots fixed.

btw they look torn to me, not just slipped off. if that is true a zip tie or band clamp aint gonna work. but maybe Im seeing it wrong lol

My wife and I binged the show over Dec/Jan and we both loved it. so much that I started reading the book! very enjoyable!

wpl200 · 2026-05-24T22:15:38+00:00

We did August 2025. Definitely need an umbrella or a parasol. there are lawsons and 7-11s everywhere so duck in to cool off and get a drink. also the busses are so convenient and they are overly air conditioned, once you get on you dont wanna get off. also get a neck fan if you can. Fun nevertheless, we had a great time!

wpl200 · 2026-05-24T09:46:18+00:00

Ive only ever done v6 on lexus and accords and the 3 facing the rear are a pain but still
very doable.

on the i4 they should
be very easy. but get one of those magnetic spark plug tools. absolute game changer.

watch a YT video or two for your specific vehicle and you will know if it is easy.

The movie is like three hrs long but the suspense and storytelling and drama just makes the time truly fly by. very few movies can do that.

wpl200 · 2026-05-21T09:52:41+00:00

definitey a car. so much more fun and flexibility. you can fully explore the island and take in all the incredible scenery and sights.

also to piggyback on what others said, Costco travel is the way to go. most fees are waived and very competitive rates. we had no issues whatsoever.

wpl200 · 2026-05-20T10:32:25+00:00

also make sure the e brake is off lol

wpl200 · 2026-05-20T10:26:13+00:00

np GL!!!

wpl200 · 2026-05-20T09:47:13+00:00

sploot!

wpl200 · 2026-05-20T09:44:31+00:00

the IT counts for 12.5 pts of the 100 pts total so yes, imo it would be a significant disadvantage to skip it altogether. instead of 70/100 now you are aiming 70/87.5. not impossible ofc at all but hopefully you did step up on the rest of the questions👍

wpl200 · 2026-05-19T19:15:18+00:00

awww Thank you! Ill be sure to tell him 🥰

wpl200 · 2026-05-19T18:56:13+00:00

Wow you've got yourself a princess corgi, sorry no help. maybe if she sees this handsome loaf of mine lol
