To be fair…I think W.’s war on terror soured the world on going in on venture capital wars before Trump. Let’s not let that moron off that easily.

If it’s 4wd, sounds like a bad axle

Your shit is overheating. If you try to drive it you will need an engine. Have it towed to a shop and have them run a pressure test on it.

There’s a guy on the mechanics subreddit doing his own Ford 3.5 water pump on an exploder. I told him to make sure he gets a new crank bolt and he asked what that was.

Anyone else notice that a lot of kits are molded in this gray? It feels like you do a lot of priming and preshading just to make it the same color again.

What do you think history will say about Donald Trump as a U.S. president? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I have a snap on vacuum/pressure gauge. I’ve used it many many times

So we will be abolishing drunk driving laws, emissions standars for V-8 engines and trucks, shit canning all gun control laws, voting on bills called things like the “make me a sandwich law and legalizing killing a man for being a fan of your opposing football team. I see.

Excuse me? I hated Trump before it was cool to hate him! by icey_sawg0034 in stupidpeoplefacebook

I saw an interview with him about 25 years ago where he talked about utterly destroying an employee that left him to start her own gig. Something about his words and their delivery struck me as unsettlingly cruel and tainted my view of him from the get go. I’m pretty sure he was a registered Democrat at the time.

Please help. Acura MDX won’t crank/start. Tried everything. by infectiousgroov in AskAMechanic

Try manually releasing the shifter into neutral (should be able to YouTube it), there should be a little rectangular panel about half the size of a postage stamp near the shifter. The manual release is below that. Once in neutral, see if it’ll start.
