Mainelypostwhore thread

I looked at my Legacy and thought "LOVING piece of crap" and thought about what a pain it's going to be to fix....

Pulling an engine is a walk in the park compared to what this pile is facing me with.

Not sure how I'm going to haul my engine and transmission at the same time yet... Well, I have one idea. Stand clear for some pictures...

I'm beginning to think the engine has been out of my car or something was done so that the coolant had to be drained. Used a tester to check the condition. Results showed that the coolant would protect me for well below -40.

Maybe someone actually *gasp* changed the coolant!

You know... like you're supposed to every 2 years.... Along with things like brake fluid. Kind of important.

What was the ph level though. Coolant can test normal for degrees but be very acidic and eat things like water pump fins.

Some people are pathetic... So yesterday a friend gave me a 14" ibook to fix for him, says the backlight on the screen won't work, took it to apple and they said it wasn't worth fixing. It would be hundreds of dollars, blah, blah.

I said I'd do it for free because he towed my Legacy home when the engine blew up.

Since I used to fix these things for a living I've seen every problem and have boxes of spare parts.

So I booted it up to see the problem first hand, I pressed the brightness button, and whaddya know?!?! The backlight came on. ....

I'm not ranting at my friend, he's not good with computers and all. But the apple place? really? I'm disappointed.

Haha. I beat you that bad that you sold it?

Well if it was changed at some point it is 7-8 years old now because I highly doubt the PO changed it without having some sort of work done.

I didn't do a ph test. Never even crossed my mind.

 
My Uncle drew this up for tomorrow night's Pats/Bronco's game. He has some buddies headed to the game in the endzone area... about 18 rows up... look for this sign tomorrow! LOL

Backed up into my Dad's truck this morning. He came over to go with me to the Doctor's for a procedure... totally forgot his truck was right behind my car... BAM. I'm so pissed at myself right now.

His Truck

Crack runs all the way across the bumper and there are hairline cracks on the lower part... not to mention his plate is totally crushed up. Grrrr.

 
it's a plastic bumper skin. Easy to fix and if you're not satisfied, relatively cheap to replace. I did worse in high school backing into my mom's minivan with a Buick Lesabre. I feel your pain though. push on that from behind and it should pop right back out.

Good to know. I'll try that... but my rear lens is still broken. Not bad, but enough that water/condensation can get in there. I should look for some 04 tails!

 
That sucks. I hate doing stuff like this. Being pissed at yourself is the worst.

Run a bead of clear silicone down the crack in your tail light so it doesn't fill with water.

Grimy transmission content!
