bendix isn't engaging all the way out probably sticking in there from being dirty (or old)
you could clean the bendix shaft with carb cleaner and then oil it just to see if that helps

I'll look in to it thanks mane.

I actually tried to hypermile these last two weeks and I went 390 miles (mostly around town) on 12 gallons, that's 32.5 mpg. That's better than epa highway and the thing has got 295k on it, what is this witchcraft

either way I'm happy, filled it up again for 25$ and I shouldn't have to worry about it for another two weeks

also interesting fact: The Camry's gas gauge reads below empty and the fuel light is on when there are four gallons left in the tank, I could drive 100 miles on my fuel light

I've put $80 gas in my car over a 3 day period.

I feel like this would be fun to get. My parents would probably say no though, if it's even still available. :(

That would cost too much to upkeep tbh.

Yeah, probably. All the cars I want that I could probably afford in the near future would probably cost a lot in upkeep. Sigh.

kool kids klubkool kids klub im 16 right and my dad and I are gonna go looking for a car next month

now i WANTED a 350z



but like I feel as if the insurance would forget me thru the bellybutton. now should i be smart settle on like a nissan altima or civic or no ball get the 350z



wait why am i asking here

[Zloff]

get something old and cheap but proven to be reliable, like a 6th gen civic. if your dad is buying it for you or paying for part of it, ask if his contributions can just go into a savings account so you can spend that money on something nicer in the future. starting out with a car as sporty as a 350 could spoil you early on and/or get you in a crash sooner. you'll regret beating on and neglecting such a nice car after a year or two of ownership as well

and yeah insurance would suck for you with anything like that

my first car was a smashed-to-hell '98 sable ls, taken from my grandma who had grown too old to drive safely. its blue book value was $1200 at the time but it served me for a year and a half. it also left me stranded several times as well lmao, don't buy anything cheaper than 3k or pricier than 6k imho

also, ended up selling that sable last week for $500, how swag

An area of rust showed up on the door of my car. I need to get it off before it gets worse. It's just like a little streak right now and it's only on the paint. Suggestions?

[Zloff]

i actually got around to finally getting rid of the 4 square centimeters of surface rust on my car over this past weekend. just use fine-grit sandpaper to remove the rust, clean on and around the area & dry it up, apply touch-up paint, wait half an hour and follow up with some clear coat

i did a quick stuffty job but you don't even notice it unless the trunk is up and you're viewing it at the right angle



also yeah i cleaned it 2 nights ago and it's already got dirty hard water stains again
