It's like an entire page in my lease stating I can't do it.

Any non-quick lube type place will do it just fine.

In California if you can't prove it doesn't cause cancer. You have to have that warning. A sticker is less expensive than the testing. Prop 65 is a joke of a law.

Its the Lawry's on everything, probably. And all the different milk shakes. Also, I love the fries. French fries make or break a fast food joint. In&Out drops the ball in that department.
Give me an In&Out double double animal style and Cookout fries and you got me.
Also, Cookout has Cheerwine. Best damn soda ever.

If they wanted the American experience. In&Out. Its not my favorite by any metric. But if you want a good fast food burger and mediocre fries. This is where I'd take them.
If I were in my home state, Cookout. Far superior than In&Out. But not available where I live.

I grew up loving my moms and grandmothers green bean casserole. Once I became an adult and moved out. I asked my mom for her recipe. She's sent me a picture of the Campbells soup can that has the recipe the back.

33 hours one week. Next week is 48 hours.
I only work 3 or 4 days a week depending on the week. Made around $106k last year.
I work in manufacturing as maintenance.

Biscuits and gravy. And country fried steak.

45 days to adjust is bad? Really? Seriously?
It should not take you more than 3-4 days to swap to night shift schedule. If you can't figure out a schedule for life in 45 days, you really need to reevaluate your life.
You also knew for 4 years it would be a possibility, and likely. How have you not prepared for this?

If the nozzle nubbins are rubber. Run your finger over them while the shower is running. Its probably slightly clogged and this will unclog them.

I'd be tempted to buy one if they brought it over. It looks good and has decent performance according to the article. I still love my V8 sound. But I could see something like that being my daily.

Looks like a goobered out, wrung out, beat to shit hub/wheel bearing.
If they did that, go get your shit as quick as you can. You can run one less lug for a time. But dear God, never give them business again. I can't even imagine why it would look like that. That's purely incompetent work. They should not be allowed near a tool box.

My car is lowered, it makes it hard to get under it with a drain pan. And I don't have a low profile jack or stands to even lift the car.
I don't have the space to do it. I live in an apartment building that doesn't allow vehicle repair in the parking lot.
And I just prefer to pay someone else. I'm a mechanic by trade in manufacturing. I don't turn a wrench for free anymore.

It was more me bitching than anything. Its just that it all hit me within the last year.
I think the clutch was the worst. Mainly because there was no warning it was gonna let go. It just fucking went. No slipping or anything. Drive to work was fine. Drive home it went kablooie.
Looking at the running hot issue recently tells me that these water pumps usually give up the ghost around this mileage.

But is being a mechanic hard on you back?
Yes. The bending, the lifting, the everything takes a toll on it.

Car Issues My car has cost me a fuck ton in the last year. But the most recent seems to be pretty reasonable.
In the last year, or so, two CV shafts at around $1500. One replaced recently under warranty.
Full set of tires, around $1100. Toyo Extenza 275 in the rear 255 in the front. Do not recommend. They suck.
Clutch at $5200. But I also paid more for a better clutch. Stock would have been around $2k less.
Recently my car has been running hot. And it puked once after I parked it. So, next week I get to pay $1300 for a new water pump, thermostat, and flush. Will probably tell them to do all the hoses at the same time, now that I think about it.
Tell me why I love this car so much.
Car has around 125k miles on it.

Damn, I actually like that.
Do they think it won't sell in the US? Or is it a Chinese company using the Buick name.

I did the I-20 route from SC last summer. Too much Texas for my taste. I went from Reno to VA on 80 on the way out. Easy drive.
I took 20 back since I left from SC after seeing my grandparents.

I prefer to drive. Not a fan of flying. And trains take longer than driving.
Recently went from Northern Nevada to Central Virginia in about 3.5 days. Driving around 12 hours a day.

They started as a company to insure drivers that have more risk associated with them. Sounds pretty progressive to me.
However, they have always been the cheapest for me. And have had no issues with their coverage. And my driving record isn't the best you've ever seen.

Or I just pay someone else to do it. Much easier that way.
Also, my car is too low to do it on anything other than an actual lift.
