You don't know what you don't know, nothing wrong with that

Sometimes you just have to know how to talk to get the info out I mean shit, @eon_blue witnessed both me getting out of a ticket not to mention negotiating for his 4R

 

Actually I changed around the times a little bit and the car rental through enterprise is only $190 one way. Maybe that’s the best option at this point, then ship the truck lr have someone buy it.

 

Nice, that sounds like a good deal.

Has the mechanic given you an estimate yet?

 

Yeah I can't talk my way out of shit
I got a traffic ticket for running a stop sign on a bicycle once... It was a stop sign inside of a neighborhood..

still makes me rationally angry
fuck motorcycle cops fr

 

Nooooo shit

 

He had a quota to hit im sure and got +2 just like that

 

Lucky he didn't get you for using your phone too while operating said vehicle

 

No he’s been pretty slammed

 

Stopped us literally directly across the street from the house we were going to too..

 

Probably took you as a Kyle or a Chad

He sensed the "white truck black wheels" vibe a mile away

 

My white truck black wheels vibe is so strong it even affected my bike purchases

 

Clearly

Camelback full of Monster too

 

New Mexico... Cars probably stolen.

 

Yea I called the Latah county DMV and it sounds like it’d be more trouble than it’s worth.

 

the flavor never washes out...

gotta have one for water, one for assorted beverages

 

QT has energy drink on tap out of the fountain machine... gf didn't realize the machine was messed up and came home with an entire mega cup of energy drink concentrate. the caffeine has been flowing this week lol

 

Recently I had the the 04 Civic rebuilt by a local builder that specializes in GM truck and Honda transmissions. I had to pay out $4,000. The car only had 125,000 miles. We had been changing fluid regularly. It was just one of those things that you live and learn. I should have sold that car when it had less than 100k mileage and bought a Toyota Corolla. We should have bought a Toyota in 04 instead of the Honda. But then I bought the 06 Ridgeline in 08 and put 200,000 miles on it and put a kid through school in it. Looking back, I should have bought a new Tacoma in 08.

You never know what can happen with an older car. They can be hit and totaled out.

I wanted to buy a new rear bumper for the LC and had set money aside for it. That was until the Civic transmission failed. Life could be worse though. I could have bought a new Ford, Chevy, or whatever brand truck and taken $15k to $20k in depreciation in the first 3 years.

Happiness with a car is what you make of it. They don't need to be new.

 

@time623 more pics. It’s honestly not as bad as it could’ve been. Just dented the exhaust, dinged the muffler which isn’t a big deal. Then the gas tank, which doesn’t seem like a hard fix either. The main thing is the cracked trans housing obviously, but it’ll still actually shift through the gears and go into 4x4 normally; the clutch just doesn’t do anything.

 

Like I wonder if someone could even weld the housing up, since it doesn’t seem like the gears themselves are damaged.
