If you can't take it on the highway spend a little time with one foot on the brake and one on the gas. Honestly it'll be good for keeping rust off the rotors. You are right, idling is not great. But loading it up is.

What gets me is how that looks like "chips" and not "dust." They look sharp, chromed, and hard. None of this is good news.

It is messy. I do five cars. Get a half face respirator; they're $20 at home depot. The aerosolized product isn't good for you.

You could use something like this undercoating gun, you really need an external air pressure source to push that snot through that tube. If you're starting on a used frame, I'd run lots of compressed air through it, then water then more compressed air to dry it out first. Clean it out.

Yeah I take two bills and math out the difference in KWh and dollars charged between them. The marginal rate is what matters, because it's what I can control. That said, it's 21 cents per KWh for me now.

The serpentine belts on these cars are very very tight. Make sure the tensioner is working properly and not hanging up with gritty movement. A belt that's too tight will eat bearings.

That sounds better than

My plow truck came with a ratchet strap holding the battery down. I upgraded to a group 65 and the strap remains. It does a remarkable job. A bungee just changes the resonant frequency of the battery shaking its plates when the vehicle encounters bumps.

I'd stop driving it until you get it fixed, that's a huge temp discrepancy and you can boil your brake fluid. Your plan is good but a little slow but if you have another car go for it.

Yeah get that $48 ebay cat. You can't make a straight pipe fit better for less. Plus, you know, legality.

I don't think you can have many more symptoms, aside from the van burning down.

How does a degree in "womyns studies" not raise a red flag with potential employers, that the applicant, if selected, will spend their time suing over every perceived slight?

Also consider Priority Tire, they are close with Walmart but I got a $15 coupon that dropped their price below WMs.

Don't do it. Is the oil in there bad? No. Is your TBN depleted? No. It's not going to rust inside. If you want to spend waste $15 get some non-ethanol fuel and marine stabilizer. Your problems in spring will be fuel related, not oil. If scooter is a garage queen, change every two years...

Some, but not all, loan contracts had a "public service loan forgiveness" clause. Do something they defined as "good" for ten years, make minimum loan payments, then apply and get the rest of your loan forgiven. Of course that "good" might be teaching elementary school, which pays poorly...
