Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

BradFiAusNzCoCaAll these kids will hate on you for this yet won’t admit they are on their parents insurance (because of course they are) and their Uber account is connected to their parents credit card lmao


You're right about that. But at least none of the other kids post weekly about buying or crashing Land Rovers

so i’m learning patience. changed my own oil for the first time in my 31 years of life like 2 weeks ago. today my car is rocking a check engine light and the computer apparently won’t let the engine go above 3000 rpm. my 0-60 time was a cool 41 seconds with my foot to the floor lol. went to autozone and they said there was no code and they think it needs general maintenance so i got an air filter and spark plugs. there seems to be oil everywhere. like in the air filter and on the spark plugs. seems suspicious. am i fucked? worth noting that the whole reason i changed the oil is because the oil level was high. coolant was also low so i topped that off too and everything has stayed in the same spot for 1,500 miles so hoping its not a head gasket thing. send help. cars fuckin suck

are you blowing smoke?

Almost makes me think piston rings but I am no mechanic. Sounds like it threw a limp mode on you as well.

Did the oil look a little bit like a chocolate milkshake? A blown head gasket would explain you oil level being high and your coolant being low. What vehicle are we talking about? Probably not a Subaru because you wouldn't have immediately jumped to replacing spark plugs 😆

I think glass pack is an 80's/90's term...anyway he's talking about raspy sounding exhausts typically found on 4-cylinder cars like Honda civics.

Glass packs are aftermarket mufflers with fiberglass inside them that make a loud noise. It’ll make your car sound like it’s farting. A Dodge Fart 😃

Tell your dad from all of us that he's a cocksucker. That's really shitty to say. I'd remind him there's a reason he's not a billionaire ceo, so best stop trying and focus on what actually matters like his family.

All the new fast and the furious movies were shit but decided to watch "fast x" on a flight.

I can't recommend any of the new movies but this was one of the worst things I've ever seen.

Crazy the first film is actually very watchable and how bad it got. I'd 2say 1, 3, maybe 2 and all the rest are unwatchable.

I don't understand how the franchise got so big with such shit movies.

True. I think even the first is like that. Some pretty epic line worth quoting. I think the "everyone from every action movie, explosions absurd heist" thing kinda wasnt my jam. I mean sure they were jumping onto trucks in the first one but it loosely had toes to racing.

I live my life 1/4 mile at a time

Tuna no crust

Ff 1, 2, and Tokyo drift have special places in my heart.


Then they went completely off the fricken rails and I haven't watched anything past 4? Maybe 5. I think at this point it's more of a joke and they keep making money so they keep making them lol.

Having a hell of a day at the moment. Woke up at 245 am for my first flight leaving New Zealand. Went to Sydney, then connected through Vancouver. Barely barely made my flight.

Can't use my phone other than wifi because my sim car got deactivated because i didnt have a plan for a couple months of the season while in NZ.

Made it back after everything. Was stoked to get home. Brake line went on car. No Im stuck near Seattle with no working vehicle, no phone, can't get new sim card at walmart because can't drive.

Not great. Think im just gonna have to buy something around here and hope it's decent.

Pretty stressful day or 2 with no real good plan. Don't know anyone with an extra vehicle out here. Fuck. Hopefully I figure something out. Open mic in enumclaw tonight would have been sick to see people but cant drive. Spent from travelng so just don't even know where to start.

i feel similar with my truck. I guess its not terrible to have a good credit score but being a part of the generation where housing and mortgages are outrageous, it feels like it really doesn't matter if you have a solid score because you're still going to get gouged which I dont think is much better than having too low of a score to qualify for anything. I get that its based off of ones ability to be on-time with payments but it all just seems like bullshit and just numbers on a screen/paper.
