I’ve seen the Libertarian National Convention—every year is like a furry convention filled with bizarre antics. Tough to not make fun of that party. But I’ll give you that—Musk is on another level of chud.

The types of folks buying CTs don’t care about the environment lol. They’re all hypebeast influencers that worship Elon and his weird anarcho-capitalist/chud libertarian mindset.

Tried the old Isuzu dealer but the service guy said they couldn’t help. Thought about trying a Chevy dealer but figured a locksmith will be cheaper—called one that said he can do it but he’s out of town until Tuesday so will have to wait until then. Will keep this thread updated!

Don’t believe there have been any major issues with it either. I did valve cover gasket over the summer because it was dripping onto the manifold and smoking up. She said that’s pretty much it aside from routine maintenance.

Found this on the Isuzu website as well: http://isuzusource.com/v2/store.php?category=8 I’m going to tell her to try a locksmith first and then go from there.

She’s owned it since new—very clean vehicle. I too have always thought it was unique that it has GDI that early on in the aughts. Hers has that engine. The 3.5.

A family friend lost the key to her 2004 Rodeo. Doesn’t have a spare. Anyone have an idea of who might have VIN data on these things to make a replacement key? I’ve seen that some folks have had luck pulling the ignition cylinder to check for a 4 or 5 digit code and then going to a Honda...

I need to see if I can log into my provider and see what type of usage tracking, if any, that they show. Most charging will take place over night during off peak.

No, this is the meter and main panel. Second pic is box on the right opened

That’s pretty cool. Checked availability in TX and doesn’t appear to be here at the moment. That would be so easy.

Oh, is that a thing in earthquake prone areas? Not a worry here on the Texas coast.

No crazy loads lol…just normal home loads. The bit about 225A jumping a wire size over the 200A panel that you mentioned in your previous post was really helpful.

Natural gas service is pretty much ready to go actually. That’s a good idea to ponder over.

The company that provided the quote is a larger, hvac/plumbing/electrical type of company—someone mentioned finding a smaller, local electrician, which is what I’m planning to do next week after the holiday.
