re: Jeeps: What’s the Verdict?

My 05 has the 4.0. It's a beast that can't be killed but boy does it like to drink gas.

The TJ was the last real jeep, 1997-2006. Find you one without a rusted frame, pay cash and enjoy. Do not have it as your only vehicle. Jeeps are enormous money pit piles of shite and should be considered a 2nd vehicle play toy, like a motorcycle. I have a 2005 and it is not my daily driver by any means, but I'll probably never sell it.

re: At a Cracker Barrel. AMA
Posted by Slim Chance on 9/26/25 at 2:20 pm to LSUFanHouston
I read the peg game was produced by 1 American family for decades and Cracker Barrel switched to Chy-na crap which put the family owned business under. Evidently they never diversified and was able to make a decent living all these years off just making that little wooden game exclusively for CB. Kind of crazy really.

re: Hammond - Southeastern Area Bar - Over 100 Drinks Sold to Minors in 3 Hours

I damn near lived in The Brown Door and Mule's when I went to Southeastern. This is nothing new. Old baw needs to learn to handle his liquor. It says he went to church to sleep it off. That's pretty funny.

The GED is free. They call it a HiSet these days, but they can attend that program at BRCC for free and get their GED. I think there's a small fee just for the exam itself at the end, but it isn't much.

You absolutely want monel staples and not stainless. I worked for a hardware manufacturer many years ago and staples were one of my products. The stainless ones will rust on you.
re: Are CVT transmissions unreliable?

We have Corollas at work for company vehicles that we treat like shite and have never had a CVT transmission issue. We trade them in every 150k miles, which usually takes just shy of 3 years.

re: Replace transmission or buy new car?
Posted by Slim Chance on 1/9/25 at 5:51 am to Billy Blanks
How much is a transmission from honda? I would heavily lean towards replacing the transmission, even if you have to finance the repair. Vehicles are too expensive these days. Unless you're trying to keep up with the neighbors and drive the newest car, I'd fix it and you can always sell it in a year or 2 and get your money back.
Card recommendation for elderly person
Posted by Slim Chance on 1/7/25 at 8:11 pm
I'm looking for a card that I can digitally put money on that, if it gets hacked or some sort of fraud occurs, they can only take the small amount that's on it currently and I can just trash it. I've got an elderly family member I manage finances for and she is constantly clicking on crap on her phone or iPad and getting fraud charges. It's become a quarterly problem. I always get the bank or credit card company to reverse the charge and issue a new card, but it's become a hassle and I'd rather just have a card I can put small amounts on whenever, and if it happens again I can just eat it and move on with life. I thought about cash app or venmo, but I don't know anything about those services. If those get hacked, or goes negative due to fraud, if that's even possible, can I just tear the card up and bounce, or will they come after the bank account that's attached to the card that I'd use to load money on it from time to time? We're only talking like 2 or $300/month. I'm not looking to use it to pay for legit services like utility bills. I think she keeps buying trinkets from obscure websites and her info is getting sent to fraud land, but I'm not even sure what exactly it is at this point. She never knows what exactly caused it.
I'm not trying to be a deadbeat, I'm just tired of trying to explain to this person that she can't click on every link she gets from India. She's the type that'll get an email or text saying her netflix account is shut down if she doesn't update her payment, when in reality she's on my netflix account and she doesn't even pay it, nor is her email or phone number associated with the account.

re: Windshield replacement question
Posted by Slim Chance on 12/12/24 at 6:07 pm to prplhze2000
I have a company fleet car, a corolla to be exact, and I usually get 1 windshield per year from safelite. They don't use the oem and the recalibrate the camera system and I haven't had an issue with either. I wouldn't worry about it unless you have some sort of sound insulating high end oem windshield.
re: Why do people think “paying cash” gets them deals?
Posted by Slim Chance on 12/1/24 at 8:19 am to Jack Daniel
Maybe that's from way back in the day when there was just cash and checks. If you were selling something you run the risk of a check bouncing? I've always wondered about the cash deal myself. Now, if I'm selling something and a baw shows up to look at it and tries to knock 5 or 10 bucks off with the cash in his hand, I'll probably just say frick it and take the cash for the instant, be done with it, sale

Marijuana is a highly addictive drug and is ruining many lives, especially in young people. It's not the save all magical natural flower to help you cope with your anxiety. Stop being a pussy and learn to deal with life without being stoned every damn day.

re: Dumb ATV headlight bulb question..
Posted by Slim Chance on 10/27/24 at 8:40 am to bootlegger
I don't know for sure, so don't hold me to this, but I would assume those 2 contacts are for low and high beam, so if you soldered them together it would just make the low and high beam led's light up together? I wouldn't think it can hurt anything to try. Worse case you blow a 25 cent fuse. I've rednecked far worse on a 4 wheeler before. LOL

Best 4 wheeler ever made.
Engine, yes, but they can be killed and die often due to the horrible design of the rear differential. Water gets into the brake drum which then seeps into the differential and kills it. There's a ton of folks out there that are swapping rear ends from old Honda 350D's and 250 Big Red 3 wheelers into their 300's due to the issue with the diff. I have a 2000 300 and it runs like a sewing machine, but I am on my 2nd differential. And for all of you saying Honda 4 wheelers are the gold standard, find me one whose drum brakes actually work. They're out there, but rare. Those brakes have been a problem that started way back in the 3 wheeler era and has never been resolved.

re: Yamaha F90 starter issue, possibly solenoid?
Posted by Slim Chance on 9/8/24 at 7:51 am to poochie
Mine did that, turned out to be the starter solenoid relay. I called the dealer and it was extremely expensive from yamaha. Even the dealer was like, yeah, these things are way overpriced. Beings I don't use my boat a ton, I decided to give a $20 Chinese Amazon special a try. It's been almost 2 years now and it cranks just fine with it. Was easy to change.
I know you say your batteries are fine but you'd be surprised what just a tiny bit of corrosion inside the terminal can do. That has also caused mine not to crank in the past, but this last time was definitely that relay.
