Is it because of all the gooning to tranniedicks? Why are men watching other men naked? Why are they fags?
>>537526010This discussion again?Pop open the hood of any car made past 2016 see if you can fix anything retard.Everything is sealed, there's nothing to be repaired.When a part breaks they replace it in service aswell.They make everything is such a way that they can't be fixed
Because everything is proprietary and electronic now retards, you can't fix shit without credentials
>>537526010> Relying on a pump jack to keep the car up. I too used to wrench on my cars. Then I got kids and a job. I don't have time to do it. My hourly rate is also higher than a mechanics so it makes financial sense to outsourse it.
>>537526010Nigger, how long have you been working on that car? Why isn't it fixed yet?
>>537526010>fixing things you don't ownnot my problem
>>537526200Nuanced response
>>537526010I replaced the suspended ceiling in my office last week.Cleaned the fame, replaces the dirty panels with higher quality ones and replaced the harsh spotlights with nice soft LED panels.Shit was a lot more work than I imagined.I think I would have hired an expert if I knew in advance.
>>537526440These are jap engines, they need time
>>537527380If you're drinking beer from a bottle....then what's the yellow stuff in the glasses?!
>>537527380Lol, sorry, I didn't realize you were doing a full restor.
>>537527519Piss, obviously. The man is busy, no time to be running back and forth to a bathroom.
my work gives me a truck to use and im not supposed to work on it
>>537527713Yes, urine is has stemcells in it. Its a lifehack
>>537527668Just headgasket a few years ago
>>537530805I quit doing all that shit. When I was a kid me and my dad built a 79 K5 Chevy Blazer for me. It was fun. He always had old trucks and hot rods we would work on. Now, I just get new cars every few years and the dealership takes care of them. But, I just bought an 85 K5 Blazer and I'm about to start working on it with my son.
>>537526118then don't buy new vehicles, faggot. there is no feature on a car made after 2000 that you cannot live without.
>>537526200so your kids are gonna grow up *not* knowing how to fix shit because dad thought he was too cool for school. good job, faggot.
>>537526200>Muh hourly wage>It makes financial sense to pay someone elseI hear this response so often, even IRL, and it's always the most braindead faggots that say it. Are you on the clock getting paid 24/7? Do you not have any free time for yourself? Do you have any hobbies, or do you pay someone else to have fun for you too? Do you not take pride in your work, and being self sufficient?
>>537526010Let the goyim deal in the real world.
>>537531852But because if Obama and his cash for clunkers shit cars from before 2000 are rarer and rarer by each passing year. Like that program fucked the used car market and is also why so many people got fucked out of having a POS first starter car
>>537531184>I just bought an 85 K5 Blazer and I'm about to start working on it with my sonnice. pass that knowledge along. all 3 of my children know how to work on cars and motorcycles, as well as program computers and make music. sharing what we know with our children is one of the most important things we parents can do.
>>537532123you're not wrong. that was one of the worst things in the world. but, you can still find great deals, since so many people have zero interest in working on old vehicles, there's less competition to buy them up when they go up for sale.
>>537532188I've taught my three sons music since a young age and wood working, but we've never done much mechanical stuff. I was a home builder, so they've learned a lot of construction, but we've never worked on cars. That's why I bought the old Blazer so he can learn. But, it's been 20 years since I did any of this stuff too. So, we're both gonna be learning I beleive.
>>537532123It would be nice to trade in my 2015 Ford focus for a newer one.
>>537532506Nice prospects dude
>>537526118>This discussion again?its just Fix-It anons hangout thread. He's ok.i just fixed my kids bike anyway. bottom bearing race in the headset was messed up. turns out it was full of just dust and rust instead of grease. hopefully it will run ok now its full of the good red stuff.How's the gas stove going? you still cooking sausages on your back porch?
>>537526010Drive old cars, fix old cars. Drive new cars, fix new cars. Watch chris fix.
>>537533472I member you, leaf. How you doing?Not today, no. But the time is closing in again
>>537533856pretty good thanks fren. got a nice truck route coming up the next little while. good money, predictable and i get to go to the US. theres often something goes wrong with the trucks so i'll need to pick up a few fix-it tips as time goes by. do you work on your car every weekend ?
>>537526176you just need a bidirectional scanner moron
>>537534266You’re a truck driver? As in semi truck with trailer? Nah not every weekend. Atm im working on a motorcycle
>>537526010i like to spur the holy GDP and help the less fortunate
>>537526200boomers say this then spend all their free time watching jewflixalso there's clearly a jackstand there fucking idiot
>>537534509>As in semi truck with trailer?yeah, it pays the bills (and then some). they're nice to drive.>bikeoh yeah i remember you posted a bike before. whats up with it?
>>537534689What engine does it have, how may liters? You drive one of those peterbilts or mack trucks? Those look great.A bolt snapped off and in need to figure out how te remove it
>>537534775theres a few western stars and internationals around. the one i was running recently had CAT engine. C15 i think, so about 15L and around 500hp depending on hows its been set up. strong enough to move 53 tons around anyway
>>537534775>A bolt snapped off and in need to figure out how te remove itah yeah, those can be a nuisance.
>>537526010>time vs money vs knowledgeIf I had the money I would hire someone else to fix as much shit as possible. Unfortunately I don't so only if it's something way out of my depth I pay someone else to fix, otherwise I do it myself or let the list of things to be getting on with grow.
>>537534775Drill it out and tap new threads?
>>537526010It's not even viable to actually work on newer cars yourself
>>537526010the world is becoming browner. browns can't into maintenance. this is only the beginning.
>>537535415an easy out set is always handy
>>537526118Any reply after this shows how retarded people are with this board.
>>537535415>>537535608Yeah, i need to find a good set. Not some cheap chinesium crap
>>537526118In the US we have lifetime oil because we're only suppose to drive it 30,000 miles
>>537526010I like watching naked college boys wash my car for their summer fraternity.
>>537526010I fixed my car the other day. Actually it spread over 3 days. The Chink on YouTube said it would take ~15 minutes. Took me 3 attempts over 3 days and at least 4 hours.And I couldn't get one bolt back in at all so I only did 2.Working with your hands is low class garbage.
>>537535992i guess you could try grinding a flat surface on opposite sides so a wrench or grips can clamp on. if you did it on a short bit at the end you'd still have plenty of length left for an easy out if that doesn't work
>>537536419Yea it always takes longer. Thats the fun part, try to not cry when a bolt snaps off at the very end
>>537535992or the other kind i guess. both are handy as can be. for me its stripping out threads inside stuff that worries me more.
>>537526010Fuck off too /o/ retard.
>>537526010fixing is annoying if you dont have a real setup in a garage. you have to be able to afford the space but instead all the space is used up by brown jewish invaders and were have to pay enormous taxes. there are too many hurdles.
>>537537157Just change the oil on the streets
>>537526010Opened my air fryer today to stop/lower the annoying beep sound it made. Pretty proud of myself, even learned how to open one of those weird anti theft screws (triangle) with the elastic band trick.
>>537537420anti repair screws I mean ffs I'm retarded
>>537526010
>>537537705
>>537537420Noice
>>537537705its just his calling card. like thermos anon and his instantly recognizable photos of his large hand and a thermos full of slop, only the threads are better here.
>>537536780Yea, i have the same challenge, i have littl room to work. I need a long tiny drill to make a start and then use the weird thing you drill into the hole.
>>537538882ooh, it broke off inside. got it. hope it comes out alright.
>>537526010>this thread againWhat a wrenchlet thread half hour ago 300+ replies and a fucking /o/tism board isnt enough for you??
>>537526118If you get an EV and take care of it, the only worry for years will be tires.
Yesterday>diagnose and replace horn>repair wiring harness for hatch (power locks yay)>lift and weld exhaust pipe (wife likes to drive at 60 mph over bumps)Excavator still dripping hydraulic fluid slowly from the mast... procrastinator lol.
>>537526010I am dog shit doing anything other than cosmetic work on cars but I can build and repair many things on a home. What does this say about me?
>>537539421>>537539629Both based in my bookCosmetic work as in welding the sheetmetal and shit? Thats an art
>>537539804I am lazy as shit and will wait until it *has* to be done or randomly do like six things in one day.I hate doing deep mechanical things because I can find a new shitbox that just has an electrical fault for 500 bucks and drive it for 50k.I have two crvs and I need to swap the transmission and its been sitting for a year since im just like.... fuggggg
Didn't do my research at the time and bought rear brake pads and rotors. Didn't realize front brakes are used more. Have to wait a little while longer before I buy front pads and rotors.Found a bunch of oil filters on sale, but none that I needed.
>>537539421I fucking hate exhausts and I'm always having to fix them. 95% of all the welding I have ever done involves being squished under a car barely able to move with a flashlight in one hand and the welder in the other trying to weld something at some impossible angle in an impossibly tight space. I learned the hard way more than once not to start cutting up or dropping the exhaust unless you absolutely have to because you're going to make it break somewhere else.
>>537526118That's why you tear the plastic off and ruin all the little tabs
>>537540091same here. ive pretty much given up trying to keep the back half of my cars exhaust patched and running quietly. i just run it with nothing attached behind the middle/halfway joint these days and damned be the noise.
>>537540091It's that or pay a mexican $200 and I'd rather pay the Mexican.
>>537540091Yeah, choose your battles, to fuck around under the car is no fun
>>537540972its the bit that can turn a simple 20 minute job into a sweaty hour of contortion and obscenity
>>537526010>Why are mennew filter dopped
>>537526010>Why isnt anyone fixing they shite?Well dogs are doing a great job
>>537541369Yea, or to forget something and the whole shit has to come loose again ^^
>>537526010I'd rather spend my free time gooning and playing video games than fixing shit.If I were a neet getting government cheese though I'd fix my own shit.
fixing cars is for mexicans
well, maybe catch you next weekend fix-it anon. have a good one.
>>537526010fix stuff with what money? I can barely afford to feed myself
>>537544165See you next time m8
>>537544329FIX IT WITH YOUR MIND
>>537544329Eat less avocado toast
