1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Might consider finding a 4wd if you go in the winter.

or flying if you don’t know what to drive in the snow.

 

That's the train of thought I have rn. Money and time is gonna kill me, but if he's *THERE* enough to recognize me still and remember me; I need to go.

 

i may have the most serious of ones on the beater corolla

 

also good points as well, didn't even think about weather or environment but gonna have to factor it in. This is why I asked here versus google. Shit doesn't pop up on a search. Thank you for that

 

Very true. We can always make more money but our time with our family (especially older parents/grandparents) is limited.

 

is there alzheimers too?
that is what scares me

 

These Bradley's are dope

 

I was lucky enough to know my great grandparents on my dad's side until I was about 18 years old when they passed away, my great grandmother had dementia pretty bad toward the end. Grandmother on my mom's side had Alzheimers, and my grandpa on my dad's side is starting to show it now too. Even my dad who is only 63 in the last year or two has started to become very forgetful - we told him the sex of our baby coming in January (girl) almost 5 months ago and he's asked me 3 times now if we "know what it is yet" lol. Kind of scary though.

 

ah yes i remember now you mentioned you were going east BUT not driving the Tacoma all the way there cross country

 

Took me a bit living on my own and leaving the "safety net" of my own home with my parents to realize this. very good life lesson. Money's been an issue for me since I started making it, time is much more valuable

 

TBH in the back of my mind and working in medicine for this long I have a strong suspicion there's a background of that. But, he has had a lot of strokes so I'm not sure if it's residual symptoms that were from the strokes and worsening simply due to age and health. I pray there isn't any Alzheimer's though bc then I'm pre-emptively susceptible due to genes. Alezheimer's is a horrible disease

 

poured a wee bit into the gas tank that is nearly full and it looks to have just poured out of this area that is circled in the grey where as the other 2 black circle are the connecting pieces
i going under the assumption this piece is PART of the entire fuel tank and is not repairable, whole fuel tank must be replaced
do you need pics of the area in question?

 

this old car is a fire hazard and death trap

 

buy new or maybe source used salvaged LKQ from the south somewhere thats not corroded to crappage

 

Trade both in for 3rd gen

 

this car is not worth $50 now with the fuel leak

 

LKQ has a fuel tank for $185
but maybe from a geo prizm, looks like they had same fuel tanks

 

maybe i should strap myself in the driver seat and tell some to light it up in the back
end it all
NOW
dammit
NOW

 

or maybe i can just get by for a few more years just filling the tank halfway so it does not leak out up top there
i really do not know much about these mechancs stuffs
amateurish at best i am

 

Did some recovery this morning
