also, i used valvoline maxlife full synthetic in hopes it'll help with the oil leak, and if the valve cover gasket is leaking, it's very minor, should I still replace it or no?

but you see the slight tears on the bushign? I thought those were bad, the junkyard camry also had those slight tears on the bushing. also, i hand tightened the new wix filter and put a layer of oil on the gasket, but what if I didn't hand tighten it enough (had this in the past where oil was...

I got the oil filter unstuck last night. Got it off! I used husky groove joint pliers. I came up with the idea when I realized the angle I was grabbing the oil filter pliers by was the same as would be with a groove joint, and a groove joint has better grip. I took the front shield (bottom part)...

I believe I might have had one, but not at the moment, in terms of an insurance discount. Insurance in MI is expensive, I just don't wnat the rate to go up higher, but I have a good rate at the moment, so I'm not complaining.

sounds good, so 500 is reasonable, but as I mentioned, I"ve dented other cars before, and the person i hit went thru insurance, and my insurance had a record of it, but it didn't impact my rate, nor did i pay antyhing for some reason, but, one of the incidents in 2013 or in june 2013, a similar...

i hit it entering the parking lot, i was in a rush and i was exhausted that day, the taurus bumper just has a scrape (no picture yet) but the taurus is fine and i'll diy fix it (easy, sand it down a little, prime it, then paint over it with the red spray touch up paint ,I had, shoudl I use white...

but the thing is, i'm not a body shop and i'm not an expert, but i do have a dent puller and i could buy touch up paint for him, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal here's a picture of it.

i got in a minor accident in the parking lot with the taurus. the taurus is fine, but a small scarpe on the front bumper, i'll just touch up paint it, but the person i hit was a 2010 volkswagen cc, we said we wwon't go thru insurance, he'll fix it, and then give me the bill and i'll pay for it...
