So my long-term plan is to keep my 4Runner going long enough that it will be my daughter's first car (she is 5 right now). It currently has 233k miles, so I figure it will have well over 400k by the time she turns 16. I told her my plan and she's already turning her nose up at the idea. "But the truck is old now. Won't it be too old then?" Hopefully, in the coming years, I can help her develop a borderline unhealthy emotional attachment to that truck, just like her dad has :3:.

My girlfriend's '01 Subaru Forester is just a jankheep. I just replaced the front rotors and pads, and noticed the half-shaft was dead. All four shocks are dead and one spring is showing some worrying signs of penetrative rust. The automatic trans shifts worryingly hard despite having fresh fluid and the engine has developed worrying, clattering noise I initially thought was a loose heatshield but I haven't been able to pin down. All the window and door seals have perished and the clearcoast is mostly stripped away, with rust spots peeking out on the edges of some of the sheet metal.

Try to keep it running, with no garage access; or convince her to start trying to somehow find a replacement?

Put it on junkyard life support. No parts over $100 unless they're from the scrappers. Drive it until it's unsafe.

Quotin' this. There once was a time when I could put back 2 5 layer burritos and not even flinch. If I counted the number of calories i've consumed from that place throughout the years, I'd be a very depressed man :v:

Two five-layer burritos is easy. Still bad for you, but easy.

Three whoppers? I'm having a difficult time imagining. The thing about Taco Bell is that everything is made out of the same stuff. They have six ingredients, and it seems that in-house meal designers were told to go wild with them. Hence a quesadilla/burrito hybrid.

See, you say that, but I have a hard time putting away the second one. I think i'm going soft in my old age, even one of those fuckers will fill me up. That being said, worst habit I used to have was eating 2 Double Downs and chugging one of those 24oz cans of Monster. It's a wonder i'm still alive.

I'm still this person. One of favorite meals is to go to Qudoba and get a burrito + Chips/queso combo, and wash it down with a whatever the largest sized cup at the Circle K is of Code Red. I'm 21 and apparently have the worlds greatest metabolism, cause I'm somehow not heavier than my car.

E.: Just looked that up, that's like 1750+ calories without the drink. :newlol:

When you get right down to it, a double down is just a southern-style Chicken Cordon Bleu.

Even by fast food standards it's oversalted though, and the sauce is disgusting. It was an awesome idea that was executed poorly.

It's impossible to OD from weed. It's completely possible to smoke so much weed that you die from excess Chipotle consumption, though.

Does your garage have AC? Can you run ice water through your garage floor? Problem solved?

Another of the many things that's broken about me: I love the taste of (most) energy drinks but don't need the actual energy boost. Not the super-sweet grape/orange/coffee flavors but the standard battery acid monsters and red bulls. And I hate soda. I don't know what the gently caress.

Hell yeah! So glad our weather is back to good! Bent knuckle be damned, I topped up the charge on my car and now it blows icy fuckin cold, like I'm running my seat heaters cold. I love portland.

To answer question from previous month's thread: it's a b5.5 passat, the manual calls for a special tools to set camber and poo poo, and since I just got done replacing my subframe I figured I should have the dealer do it. That being said, since I used VW tool 3393 to install the subframe, they didn't need to adjust the camber :-/. When I swap my bent knuckle out I'm gonna set toe with the string method and see where I go. The dealer scratched the poo poo outta my freshly painted hood :grr:
