None. None more hipster. This is peak, if real.

Free is a great price! Don’t worry about what others think. A C-Class is fairly non-offensive, will be comfortable, is available to anyone that really wants one (I see them in my lower-class neighborhood), and will likely lead you to want a Subaru even more while saving up for it for the next couple of years.

There was no cutting involved with Oden, he simply broke in a stiff wind, the brittleness from being so old.

Thermostats. As mentioned by many others, there are simple repairs that seem to be really intimidating and that will go a long way towards turning off the mindset that wrenching is too hard.

A lot of commenters here are slamming you for being too harsh, but I think that you have to explain the consequences and your reaction does that. Just make sure to continue to communicate with him, or he will draw his own conclusions as to why the punishments are happening and may start associating the punishment with

Stick with the Alero conversion. Don’t listen to the short-sighted naysayers. The Alero was not working, just a heap of unreliable junk that you turned into drivable unreliable junk. If you give it to someone in need, it will indeed be the money pit that you already know. So many gremlins hiding, it will never end.

But this is not a ‘perfectly good car’ as it still has other unresolved problems that are serious signs of potential pitfalls. Giving someone a car this unreliable is Pyrrhic at best, sadistic at worst. The leaking transmission pump, tires that have sat for a year, the location that it has rusted away in (Michigan!

Exactly. It is running NOW, but it not reliable transportation. The transmission pump leaks, which may be an easy fix but is also indicative of larger problems. Giving it away to someone in need would be a dangerous gift, more likely to strand them somewhere and have bad consequences.

Had a 2001 Olds Alero. Tan in color.

Moving to a western state from Connecticut after college, pre-smartphones. I was driving my Oldsmobile Alero, which did get great mileage, and it happened twice on one trip.

Yuck...

Agreed. This board game list suuuuucks.

Have I been doxxed? I have not owned too many cars in my lifetime, but this is my current DD.

Can confirm, as I daily an ‘08 Lucerne. Some days it really does feel like I have lost a bit of my soul, but then I push down the skinny pedal and feel what’s left of those 292 ponies. The Northstar is a Beast—to drive and to work on. I just replaced the alternator which is pretty much a complete front end removal

The velocity in a vector towards force of gravity is what is going to change, not the initial ‘forward’ velocity. Driving off a cliff at a specific speed will not maintain that speed due to air resistance, but will change little. The velocity ‘down’ will start at zero, regardless of the ‘forward’ speed and accelerate

As a former MX-6 owner, I would totally be down for a new MX-7, especially if it was close to that.

Replacing the alternator on a 2008 Buick Lucerne. This requires almost the entire front end to come off, so it was last weekend’s project as well, when I wasn’t replacing the brakes all around on my 2003 Yukon. So many clips to take off, rivets to cut, radiator to drain, impossible places to stick my hand. Never again.

They were hoping you would just steal it...true story. I’ve actually seen a Stealth before, knew one unfortunate that paid money for it even.

Also, the majority of the ED medication handed out on-base may not be going to treat ED-related problems—It is most likely resold. Pharmaceuticals are dirt cheap, including Viagra, to active military and getting a prescription for it is easy.
