It got high enough to mess with the computer, but the car still worked fine after. The odometer would just disappear sometimes. That has since resolved itself. But I’m sure that some electrical gremlins will crawl out of the woodwork in the next few years. The water brought out a lot of odors hiding in the upholstery. It stank bad for a few months after, but it smells ok now. It does get a little fresh on hot humid days.
Here’s the poor Mustang parked across from me. I’m sure they weren’t having a good day after that.
I got on Safelite’s website immediately because I knew glass was going to be in short supply very soon. They came out a week later and threw a new one on. That was just over 300 bucks. Another great part of owning an old shitbox is how inexpensive parts are.
Aside from this, my wife got into an accident in it in 2015 and then I got rear ended twice in 2019. We still have the car. It keeps on trucking along. I do want to replace it with an Accord of the same vintage, but that’s because I want a cheap manual I can daily.
On my phone when I first saw the picture of the interior, the push-pull lever for gas tank flap and trunk looks like an angry face. Just thought you should know.
I just did front brakes on my mk4 Jetta…. in the middle of a west coast snowfall, aka “the world is ending, just like last year!”
Simpler, cleaner design than industrial equipment, and that stuff is made to be worked on by gorillas like me. Actual work time was less than shoveling it out of 14” of falling snow.
It’s been reported by several people, both reporters and those close to Johnson, that his wild hair is an affectation, he intentionally roughs it up before he does anything in the public eye.
Is there some sort of strategy going on here? Like, these dudes looked at Trump and whatever the fuck is happening on his head and went, “well if it worked for him it’ll work for me?”
What even is white? Like who is considered white seems to change every 5 or so years and the people in Europe usually don’t even identify as white.
Like in my native language calling someone white doesn’t even make sense or exist. Also calling someone back in my native language is actually insulting since black and dirty are the same word and people assume the former.
It’s nationalism (the idea that different peoples deserve their own separate countries) with the people in question being white people. It manages to combine the most problematic aspects of nationalism such as its propensity to drive governments to commit countless atrocities with the most problematic aspects of whiteness as an identity. In short, it’s modern naziism.
Here’s another to add to the pronunciation wars. RetroArch is pronounced RetroArk. Which I will die on that hill because Arch stands for either Architecture or Archive. Too many times have I heard people on YouTube make it sound like McDonald’s golden arches.
I see a lot of comments saying that people comment, but I’ll occasionally post videos when I see them come out, get zero responses, and will see the same video on Reddit with thousands of responses. These aren’t small communities either - the videos community on lemmy.world has thousands of subscribers, but few videos have any comments.
I don’t think it’s necessarily an issue with people not posting enough. I think there just aren’t enough people to sustain a social network with thousands of communities.
I post a bit too, but honestly posting a link is not that much of a stretch. Just try starting more discussions topic posts if you want people to join.
