*Eurobeat intensifies*...

@HotrodWolf1 That was for a Dorman replacement too. Nah, OEM is the better call. I'd hate to do this job again.

@RetroTalan Good deal and yeah. Anymore I say fuck parts stores. They are such a ripoff anymore.

Oh ffs dude, anything auto related causes cancer, just let me buy the damn OEM part.

@HotrodWolf1 Thankfully eBay has it with no issues. Totally forgot about eBay in my sleep deprived state. No silly $300 core charge that parts stores are asking too.

@RetroTalan That's just messed up!

it's that time of the year now uh oh

Wouldn’t let me buy fluid either, which I sorta get, but still would’ve been better to get it at the door for $7 a quart compared to local parts’ stores for the same brand of ATF+4 at the price of $16 a quart.

My photo library casually overtaken by them scrunklies

Lost 1st, 3rd and 4th. Now when I first go to start it, I hear and feel an audible thud for a brief moment while just in Park.

So guess who fucking lost 3rd gear… I was on my way back cruising just under 55 and then heard a pop followed with a forward lurch and rpm shot up to 5k. Fluid was fine, no hot oil message, no head wind. Ugh I didn’t need this right now.

Why the hell does a $200 part have a $400 core charge

Borrowed Dad’s 08 F250 since the Jeep is out of commission and oh my god this thing has no suspension left, and no stabilizer. Pudding steering with bounce house spring recoil. 😵‍💫

@varinki Mine too. It did have 35’s for a bit, but I was easy and driving it like an air cooled beetle in the slow lane 55-70 in 75-85mph highway hell. Did much better with current 33’s. I plan on scanning it sometime tomorrow.

@RetroTalan Transmission problems. My lest favourite part of car repair.

"SD cards were invented in 1999" Sony in 1998:

So battery acid ate the micro switch for the door switch which led to a “Card door” error and wasn’t letting me use the camera. No room to stick a bridge wire or a hot iron so I formed a wedge out of aluminum foil and now it’s back to working order.

I am seeing his lil cake and hilarious that everybody is just flipping cuz is freaking Spyro

What is going on? Went to get food and saw 4 different front bumpers in various spots on the sides of the roads.

WE ARE SAVING HIM TODAY AT 5PM!

@ShoreSaw Needs the transmission sorted and nah I’m not trying to launch myself to the moon 🤣

@RetroTalan Put that yfz engine in it instead 🤣

So I guess I’m the neighborhood repairman as of late. Got this late 80’s, early 90’s Western Golf and Country in for a lithium iron battery conversion.

There’s also a Yamaha that needs way too much work and the Makita compressor to finish off once more parts come in.

Mood once said conversion is finished
