    I'm not the expert here, but it looks like they soldered that onto a brass drain plug. I bet you can get that to screw back out....might be a bit of work though.

    AGM Battery Boil Fumes

    You don't say how old the car is or if it was intended to have an AGM battery. AGM batteries do not like being overcharged. The battery "did not allow" the alternator to overcharge it. The battery would not have a way to stop it. Cars with AGM batteries should have a BMS...battery management...

    Thinking about getting a financial advisor...

    It's really an argument about nothing. Charlie Munger said the first 100k is the hardest. It's probably more like 300k now. If you have developed the good habits to get that far.... you're going to be ok. By the time you have what you feel is enough to retire, the money is going to take on a...

    How many of you have made your " Final Arrangements " ?

    How many of you have made your " Final Arrangements " ?
