    Rare waterfront home under $700k USD in California

    I wonder if that part of the river varies the level. Some spots get really low and ugly when they slow release from the dam upstream. Also the lease is concerning. Could be a 99yr lease like Mexico does to foreigners. Just keeps people from buying up all their land but living on it yourself is...

    AC Condenser Fin Cleaner

    Yeah, I heard about the corrosion issue after years of using it on aluminum parts without issue. Maybe if you soak them it might be a problem or could ruin a polished finish. Seems overblown but its now in my mind so even though I've had no issues, I worry about it

    No unimportant jobs- school bus driver

    If you think its unimportant, look how much the transportation director makes for a school district. You'd think they are saving the world. Its outrageous. The government way, the supervisor makes $200k and the workers, $30k.

    Honda K24 Valvetrain, 135K miles

    Its not a bad job. Get the correct angled feeler gauges and the valve adjustment screwdrive tool thing. Also a VCG and Hondabond HT if its more than a couple years old. Took me 2-3hrs taking my sweet time and triple checking everything. At 150k-ish all could use a little adjusting. Nothing crazy...

    Nissan latest - Asking suppliers to pause payments..

    Our Nissan Juke has been probably the most reliable car we've ever owned. Its a manual 6 speed. I plan to buy another Nissan, never a CvT though. I like the Frontier Pro-4x and maybe a Versa manual for a beater.

    remove window tint

    I've done it with great success. Watch some videos. It needs to be HOT inside. Like direct sunlight and run the heater. Then heat the glass with a hairdryer/heat gun. Grab a corner and peel while continuing to heat. Works surprisingly well. The back window you can cut a black trash bag to sort...

    Broken clavicle / collar bone

    Got the surgery done. 11 screws and a plate. Dr said some of the bone looked like Cap'n Crunch 🤢. 6 weeks with a sling and no lifting over 10lbs until mid September. I think next time I'll consider walking over taking my bike.

    Federal EV tax credit set to end completely September 30th

    Exactly. "Subsidising" $50k+ cars is completely ridiculous.

    That's the story with a lot of old cars.

    Control arms, OEM vs aftermarket

    They are pressed into the knuckles, just bolted to the control arms. The inverse of many designs

    Opinion wanted on this torque wrench

    I have one of a similar vintage, had the calibration checked and was surprisingly still accurate. Better than a 2 year old Craftsman clicker style.
