Is it low T from all the gooning?Whats the deal??
not everyone is unemployed white trash with far too much free time
>>24901053many people are going to have to learn if they want to own a car, labour at a garage is £75 -£100 per hour, its not financially viable.
>>24901053it's too big a risk. i performed a weapons mod a few weeks ago and almost bricked my new gun struggling to put it back together properly, plus I didn't have the proper tools for the job and had to reassemble everything, order another piece, wait to receive it, then disassemble it again and complete the modification again. now imagine trying to perform a job that requires you to remove a delta ring from an m4.
>>24901054You dumb motherfucker. Grow up or fuck off
>>24901053I keep putting it off.So far I need to:change my oilchange my coolantdrain and fill my tranny fluidfix my interior door handlesreplace my O2 sensor (probably)replace my TPM sensorsfix my blower motor resistor wire harness
>>24901053I do, but these days you need a degree in compsci and expensive software you can't buy to fix cars discs and pads today
>>24901058Start with the oil and oil filter, its a fun and easy job for a summersday.>>24901059Based bong
>>24901056You need to train and workout a bit more, get some thicker underams.
>>24901061there's no time.
>>24901053because new shit is made to be unfixable, so goys need to buy new shit every now and then
>>24901053You still haven’t fixed your shitbox?
>>24901053You been trying to fix your shitbox entire summer be honest and tell us you are just too retarded to do it.
>fixing a carThat could make sense with some older cars. Like, if you have some late 90s Land Cruiser you plan on driving as long as possible. If you buy a modern car and fix it yourself, good luck trying to sell it. People in general don't want to buy a car with maintenance history being DIY shit.
When you're out and about, make a note of the breakdowns that you see on the side of the road. It's an indicator of how well people are doing regardless of the rosy economic indicators. If you don't have money you defer repairs and maintenance.
People don't even do basic maintenance anymore. I get jobs in with shit like "Windshield washer is broke" Yeah, it's out of fluid, you have to put that in. That'll be $59.99 plus the two dollars for the washer solvent.Owners doing their own repairs is something that effectively died long ago.
>>24901053I gave myself successful brain surgery
>>24901053You make these threads every day/week for like months.Will you car ever be finished fixing?
>>24901053I’m retarded. “:)”
>>24901053I need new engine mounts but I'm just riding my motorcycle until winter
>>24901054>>I'll simply outsource my manliness so I can make more money!I don't even like op. He is retarded and probably Israeli. But you are also retarded.
Any type of automotive repair is not allowed on the apartment complex property. Thanks, spics.
i don't own anything. there's literally nothing to fix
>>24901075What about your life?
Ive become a basic mechanic from keeping shit boxes on the road instead of going into debt for a new car because I hate the shapes and modernity of new cars. Once you find a good model with reasonable parts and you research it you can do half the work yourself and take to a mechanic for the bigger jobs
>>24901077New cars are horrifying in every way.
you cant fix a modern car without a computer
>>24901076hey man there's no need to be an asshole about it
>>24901080how depressing is kiwiland these days? went there 18 years ago and the whites seemed all like self hating assholes and auckland was already overrun by chinks and indians
>>24901075How much debt you holding tho?Can I interest you in done more debt?
>>24901082i'm in a lot of debt>>24901081it's substantially more expensive with nothing to do and 10x more indians. it's amazing if you're rich but i'm poor so it's hell, mainly because of the indian infestation. the chinks i don't mind as much, mainly because i have an affinity for chink pussy and they for me
>>24901053No time, no energy, cheaper and easier to let it be fixed or to just replace it.
>>24901073employed people simply dont have time for tinkertrannying with 30 year old shitboxes
>>24901053You can't get parts, unless it's some absolute shitbox like 2008 fiat panda.t. owner of a 2008 fiat panda
>>24901085Skill issue
>>24901083>ohhhh me rikee waito piggu sping roh!>ching chong ping pong!Being a bugfucker isn't something I'd admit let alone brag about
>>24901053You still haven't got that piece of shit going?
>>24901053Goddammit you've been fixing this poor mitsubishi for 57468 threads already, just let it die.
>>24901056This. I installed a dash camera and broke 4 plastic fucking panels by prying them running the direct power cable and rear camera. Also broke the front camera oem style mount but thankfully those pieces weren't needed. Now to fix panels it will be a couple hundred extra.God forbid I try something in the engine compartment.
Combination of >>24901063 and people not owning the right tools anymore. Each generation has less use for acquiring tools so they know less about them. Youtube is filled with guides for "hacks" which are just makeshift tools that people don't know exist. All of this, and people don't feel it's worthwhile since so many things are designed to be disposable nowadays.
Its still not fixed???
I don't have time. Doing something like that to my car would take up most of either my Saturday or Sunday, and I have other things I need to do.
>>24901053Well? Why aren't you capturing and taming your own wild horse?Too effeminate to dominate a wild beast's will so you settle with a mechanical contraption instead? Grow a pair.
>>24901088ur gay
>>24901053I got to buy new brakes for the car thanks for reminding me. There is a real special feeling even if you fuck it up about fixing your own car. Nobody I ever see is doing it. My car has over 200,000 miles. I'm the only own who has in my neighborhood.
>>24901058I keep putting it off too but some things aren't worth it doing it yourself. change my oil - check out discounts and couponschange my coolant - free w/ oil changedrain and fill my tranny fluid - some people never do this. fix my interior door handles - annoying but easy after you get one done.replace my O2 sensor (probably) - usually mad easy replace my TPM sensors - " " fix my blower motor resistor wire harness - " "
>>24901056>you have to have to as smart as an oncologist to field strip a gunOK, Ethan.
>>24901071too retarded to YT
>>24901053jews
>buy a car nobody knows how to work on >make sure it's shrimple enough that YOU can figure it out>be the only mechanic in the area who can fix your own carThis is what I did and my Suzuki is in tip top shape. I have to buy all of my parts from ebay though.
>>24901066>good luck trying to sell itIf you ever sell a car, you're a consoooomer retard.You don't need to replace your car with a newer model every few years. The only person you should be selling your car to is a scrap metal dealer after 20+ years when the frame has rusted or spare parts for its model have become too scarce to feasibly maintain it.
>>24901054kek trufax
>>24901054This. I fix my own shit and it's a huge waste of time and energy.
Every dumb retard in here complaining about free time required to fix your vehicle is about to fuck around and find out with planned obsolescence and 2027+ vehicles. Anyone who has the older 1990 vehicles that are repairable with wide array of parts accessible like US trucks from the 90s will see huge increase in price of their vehicles. It’s coming.
>>24901053I have a mechanic to take care of the fleet. I can but why would I?
>initial tool investment means you'll need to do several repairs before it's worthwhile>time investment includes having to watch a YouTube video to make sure you don't fuck something up>possibility of fucking things up and now incurring more repairs >car complexity has increased, I remember talking with my boss when a coolant pump blew and he thought it's an easy fix I shouldn't worry about until I popped my hood and he saw that unlike his old car the pump was buried under a ton of other shitThere's a benefit to self sufficiency sure but depending on price and difficulty of repair I see nothing wrong with paying someone else to do it.

>>24901053It's literally not worth my time. I always tell my self I'm going to to the next project on my boat then I say start and say fuck this. I'm a lawyer and can bill for thousands of dollars of work instead of busting my ass to do it half as good as a professional. If you're making money doing something you should just do that and pay someone for bullshit you don't do.
>>24901089A transverse v8? What in the
I did not want to learn these skills due to my father being overly judgmental perfectionist baby boomer. I hate doing any labor while observed desu
>>24901105You're fixing it to make sure it's done right and have stock of the condition so you're less likely to have an emergency. I can't count how many random pins and bolts are missing from my gf's car that she was taking to a variety of mechanics.
>>24901113
>>24901116Is that the one with the yamaha engine?Fucking swedes can do it all
>>24901089>>24901113Madness!!V8 should only be mounted vertically, this configuration increases turning speed in tight curves. Because of Torke.
>>24901054absolute FPBP
I will be fixing mine in the coming weeks. 2011 BMW 530d F11. Needs brakes and pads as I think they're warped, I was in France in it last week when it was hot as fuck and you could feel the vibrations when stopping from 130 kmh. Fine here at low speeds though. It also has a very slow coolant leak somewhere not obvious so need to investigate that but it's likely the coolant flange.

>>24901053(((They))) formed vertical + horizontal mega conglomerates which allow them to manufacture unrepairable garbage, as well as not create any available part for machines which need to be repairable. Eliminating israel and ALL israelis from earth will solve this problem.

Because this is the reality.>Hey can you help me fix something?>Wtf I'm not going to do it for you!>I said help not do it for me. Can't you teach me?>Fuck off! Kids today are so lazy!>why don't kids know how to do anything anymore.

>>24901110north america deleted as many old cars as it could so the manufacturers could force the tablets and cameras on us. i'm still driving a 25 year old van but getting it fixed is becoming harder and harder as good parts for old cars lose demand year after year.i've had places lie to me and say no parts exist anymore just because they didn't want to make the special order to get the parts in.

>>24901053you can't even get fixable things anymore you faggot jewish psy op spammerop is a kike
>>24901103>t. Never driven a modern carThat's why I said fixing the car yourself makes sense if you have a 90s Land Cruiser. You're not going to get that kind of mileage and simplicity from a modern car with planned obsolescence.
>>24901054fippybippy
>>24901073>Defines his masculinity by fixing stuffSounds pathetic
>>24901054So you're too busy with your subsidized, 32 hour work week to do basic maintenance on your bicycle?
>>24901135Wtf you gaylord. Anything up to 2010/2015 is easy fixable. 2000-2010 super easy fixable. Cares before 2000s is tutorial mode anyway. Rip if its something deeply electrical though.

>>24901058>fix my blower motor resistor wire harnessWhat are we working on, anon. That blower motor resistor can often be a fire hazard. (If you ever see a mid 90s BMW burning up on the side of the road it was almost certainly the blower motor resistor that caused the fire.) You can replace the blower motor resistor circuit with a PWM motor controller. It is much safer that way. Cheers!

>>24901134Renting a boat sounds so fucking gay I can't even begin to imagine
>>24901054This is how you cope. So you spent your entire life and education making sure that you don't have any time so you could spend all the money you earn to buy back your time. You are a retard. You can watch a YouTube video while you take a dump and then fix your own fucking car with a spare hour. Keep coping richfag. You clowns just have no skills.
>>24901085Cooooooooooope.Just admit you don't know how to do anything and that you're gay and have some latte sipping office job. You have the time you just don't have the inclination, the skills, or the ability or willingness.
>>24901058Do the oil and filter you nigger. It takes like 1 hour and the bad shit from not replacing it is catastrophic. Dont be a womab. Change the fucking oil
