Just keep an eye on the tread, most donuts have bright color striping that uncovers as the tread wears. Donuts are typically made out of soft rubber, and the nature of a spare tire means less surface area to spread the weight of the vehicle, so don't rely on them any longer than you need to.

Good tip about the paint. I put about 120 miles on it before I could get it changed out and it hadn't worn the tread out completely. Maybe another 30 miles

How do I tell of my truck has over head cams or valves ?

Overhead cams operate the valves.

An overhead cam is just the camshaft mounted on top of the engine block

In this gif, the cams are at the top and the crankshaft is at the bottom.

oops. @Mark Vandal

Long story short, you can see overhead cams on top of the engine block.

@this_that5553 this is a good place to get car help.

@bostoneuropean For someone looking to buy a car in the 10k - 12k range, what might you recommend? Where from and any specific models?

@this_that5553 Sedan wise go american for multiple reasons of course and because its cheap also cheap to fix you can find something newer around (2014) 65k miles for 12k no problem look into chevy sedans they are always dirt cheap

Is the Honda craze a fad? I've always driven asian cars that were from the 90's. Amazing cars. Have american ones gotten better?

Not really

See, I've heard American sedans used to be total shit from like 2000 to 2010, but now have gotten better

Tbh I just prefer something younger like a Civic. My parents and grandparents all drive American sedans that feel like I'm in a nursing home lol

american cars have 100% gotten better for example gm look at how their product has gotten better ever since the bail out i would suggest a 14 malibu w 65k miles would cost you around that instead of going asian and joing the libtards driving toyotas and hondas

if i were you i would take that 12k a buy a nice truck

by all means go buy a used prius

I just bought a car at CarMax, got a great deal

@John O -#7072 what did you get?

2015 Impala

13k

40k miles

Goin undercover as a black guy eh? Nice!

Yeah, that's my joke with the guys at work

My local police actually used to use impala patrol cars

@John O - thats actually a good deal LS, LT, or LTZ

Mine too, but I didn't want to deal with a decommissioned cop car

LT

LTZ actually

damn fully loaded huh? for 13 k thats like 50k brand new

my example exactly about getting something american almost new for cheap
