Feeling extra mechanicy today.
I have done very little work on cars, just basic routine like replacing batteries and spark plugs, air filters, etc. Wasn't ever really allowed to do work on any before.
But things are just kinda making sense the longer I stau under it and just google lense the part number stickers & watch a 2 minute video on youtube with a guy talking about removing/replacing the thing. Learned a lot today in the 3 hours of dozing off under the har lol. The weather is so nice today too. We got some cozy time spring weather :3
But yah the more I just chill and look at it I'm thinking to myself, why did my dingus straight mom always act so jumpy mean about me trying to wrench on any cars. Half the stuff down here is similar to some airplanes I've worked on, and the other half idk what it is yet but I can see how to disconnect & replace sensors/major parts. I could figure it out from an ipc or a youtube video. Kinda fun figuringout this puzzle :'3
Also temporarily fixed that wear spot on the transmission with the plumbing silicone I had on hand. It's no RTV but it's better than nothing for now. I may actually put in a smaller bolt, or just add more washers to it to add more distance between em

BRANDS TO BOYCOTT
1 Consumer boycott goals:
Let's start by boycotting these brands that are directly involved in Israeli apartheid
'' BIG THREE''
Mc Donald: gives free meals to Israeli soldiers
Disney ( sadly, Disney was my childhood): declared support for Israel by pledging $2 million
Starbucks: sued his union over its pro-Palestine positions

Carrefour
Carrefour (France) is a facilitator of genocide. Carrefour-Israel supported Israeli soldiers who took part in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza with gifts of personal parcels. In 2022 it entered into a partnership with the Israeli company Electra Consumer Products and its subsidiary Yenot Bitan, both of which were involved in serious violations against the Palestinian people.
AXA
When Russia invaded Ukraine, the insurance giant AXA (France) took targeted measures against it. Yet as Israel, a 75-year-old regime of colonialism and apartheid, wages a genocidal war on Gaza, AXA continues to invest in Israeli banks that finance war crimes and the theft of Palestinian land and natural resources.
Hewlett Packard Inc (HP Inc)
HP Inc (USA) provides services to the offices of the genocide leaders, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Finance Minister Smotrich.

In addition to building killer drones, Elbit produces surveillance technology for the apartheid wall, checkpoints and fence in Gaza, enabling apartheid. The US and EU use Elbit technology to militarize their borders, violating the rights of refugees and indigenous peoples.

by HD Hyundai (South Korea), Volvo (Sweden/China), CAT (United States) and JCB (United Kingdom) have been used by Israel in the ethnic cleansing and forced displacement of Palestinians through the destruction of their homes, farms and commercial activities, as well as the construction of illegal settlements on stolen land, a war crime under international law.

Hey what would you say is the most unkillable car? Last time i had a car and it started sounding weird i ADHD'd so close to the sun it literally died mid-drive and never got back up ;u; (Admired cars from a distance in the 10years since, and the guilt is strong, but i really need one now and a 'needy' car is the worst possible car for me lol) Love this blog <3
i will always stand by toyota and honda as good brands to default to. it’s like a meme at this point how reliable they are. especially toyota, whatever you need out of a car, toyota (or lexus, same company) probably has a version that will go forever while staying cheap to maintain and relatively hassle-free, especially if you don’t know much about cars. the default is the corolla. honda civics and accords are also up there, and hondas in general tend to be pretty solid, just less consistently than toyota. mazdas are also pretty solid, as are 90s volvos (though with these when problems do come up they tend to be pricy to fix) some mid to late 2000s and 2010s hyundais, 90s and EARLY 2000s saturns, and 90s subarus
the thing with cars though is that they’re only as reliable as they are well maintained. toyotas and hondas can usually take a bit more neglect than most but they have their limits. a friend of mine just bought a 90k mile toyota corolla from one of its best generations (she got a ‘98) and it’s already presented with a bunch of weird random problems. they are complex machines and things can and will eventually break. conversely, sometime the most notoriously unreliable cars will go forever - a friend of mine got a trouble free near 20 years out of a chrysler pt cruiser because it was babied
all that to say, i highly recommend a toyota or honda, but finding a car with a good maintenance history in good shape is more important than anything. if you can, bring it to a mechanic or if you have a friend who’s mechanically inclined bring them with you to check a potential car out before you buy it, assuming you’re buying used. even if it’s from a dealership, unless it’s from an official manufacturer dealership that’s the best way to guarantee something’s gonna be in the best shape for the longest time
