Weave Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 My sweet, innocent rescue dog is turning out to be quite the killer. So far this season she’s nabbed 3 squirrels, and today she caught a woodchuck. While I like the idea of ridding the yard of nuisances, I’m not fond of cleaning up the mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Since it's not thursday I'll sarcastically use this thread. My car died on me mid-drive earlier today. The tow truck driver and the shop both said that it sounded like an alternator to them. I got the call a couple hours later... engine is shot. Apparently it was mysteriously down two quarts and it gave out. It was a good 2000 miles away from its next routine service and there isn't a drop of oil on my driveway, so I have no idea where that oil relocated to. I also don't know how that would kill the engine so suddenly. But anyway, I have to have it towed to my regular guy next week before I issue the death sentence. She's almost 13 years old, so it was going to be time soon anyway. Still, just like looking for a new job, it's much easier to car shop when you already have a car.

At my current miles/year, that vehicle would have 520,000 miles. I used to get about 20k a year. Ever since Covid I’ve worked from home. I racked up a whole 6k miles last year. But on a slightly more fantastic side, my mechanic clued me in on a few different class action suits Hyundai has had for engines in recent years. I’m more than likely getting that engine replaced for free… and then immediately trading the car in for an SUV of some sort. Mini-shrader needs some more space and something safer.
