No worries. I always liked the A-Team Vette. The early C4 was a dog but it would have been a great cruiser.

 

Did the belt snap?

 

Yeah, toasted the motor on my first car

 

Jensen...only at more recent car shows

How about this European Mopar big block? Recognize this?



From the land of cheese...

 

Total Crap?

 

Pantera was one

 

Now I remember...prior to the Pantera...the Mangusta

 

Didn't notice at first that the wheels match your dog's ass
Great color on both.

Showed the pics to Mrs. SpruceMica and before I could say anything "oh, they match the dog, that's cute!"

 

I was going for the Omni 024 DeTomaso. The Pantera was the first I was referring to as it was sold through Lincoln. I know the Mangusta was Ford powered, but I don’t remember if it was sold via FoMoCo dealerships.

 

Guy at work might be selling his 2014 access cab trd sport. 68k miles. He's had bad luck with it since new. Coolant lines, powersteering lines, and around 30k alternator seized. Now at 68k tensioner belt snapped and they don't know why so they're replacing all the pulleys, tensioner, pumps. Can't say I blame him. Low mileage and that many issues

 

I mean, you're there on time and definitely right about there on mileage. I don't recall the belt service being overly expensive when I had it done, certainly less than my Honda at an indie shop years prior. If you're overly concerned take an oil sample and look for coolant. If there's no coolant, I'd swap the belt and enjoy it.

 

What do you think the chances are that one of the kids will crash the car before it hits 105K? I would run it as it is for a while more.

 

Go for the Impreza sport. Can't beat the price for a base manual and it has the best all wheel drive you can get!

 

Sometimes it feels like I sort of ran over a small rock so I went and got the tires rebalanced. The tech showed me that the driver side made some sort of noise when he moved the tire (while mounted) back and forth as if turning right/left. Is this related to the needle bearing needing to be changed to the clamshell? I forgot to check the other side

 

Needle bearing shouldn't affect steering at all (I believe), describe the noise?

 

I can't really recall, maybe like metal tapping metal? I'll try to see if I can reproduce it sometime this weekend

edit: I would think MLO wouldn't have touched the rack n pinion

 

Sometimes mine will make a noise that sounds like a clutch engaging when I'm turning and compres in the driver side, im assuming it's my cam tabs starting to give out and have since rectified that problem and haven't heard the noise since?

 

Any Honda experts here? Or should I just go and find the Hondaworld.com forum?

 

I watched a YouTube video once about a Honda so, naturally, I’m an expert. Whatcha got?
