@Yuma County#0597 hey bro just curious how's your CDL training going?
is this road legal?
or a good deal?
It's legal, as long as the lights work. You have to be able to clear a speed bump, all the lights and safety equipment has to be on the car and working. Nothing can be hanging off it.
If the frame isn't bent and that's just body damage, for the price it's a good deal.
Is there a topical anesthetic available over the counter?
@Deleted User It looks like there are a few, but from what I've seen a cream called "LMX" may be the strongest. It looks like it's available at Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS over the counter.
Thanks brother. I meant to post this in <#322712621503479809> lol but you've answered my question so no need to move it
@Deleted User concerning that wrecked car. If it is in your state an your purchasing it is one thing but typically if you purchase a car from out of state and it has to be brought into your state they will have to inspect it and all of the lights and turn signals Horn cetera will have to work in order for you to get a title on it in your state
Just wanted to thank @Deleted User for picking up the slack! haha
And just a note, most newer cars have their oil filter on top of the engine
And newer cars have an inner cylinder that is the filter with an exterior lid that you do not dispose of, just snaps onto the lid, very easy
So you're just changing out the filter element, then?
Yes
nice
The process is very simplistic and avoids an unnecessary mess from dripping oil
yeah, I like it. I haven't encountered that yet but it makes sense.
o-ring gets replaced as well, comes in the box
that just sits on the lid
@Deleted User Why not connect your neg cable to the dead neg terminal?
Supposedly there's a non-zero chance of a battery explosion if you connect directly to the terminal.
That will severely hamper your game
Ah ok gotcha
Yeah, setting a girl's car on fire is not a good ice-breaker.
When the lady asks you why you're not connecting to the terminal, just give her the Marlboro man look, a quick nod, and continue with what you're doing.
That brings your chances from ~85 up to 100%
It's also a good time to wink I hear.
"Why aren't you connecting to the terminal?" Wink. Start car. Game on.
Hmmm, see that's tricky
Keep in mind I've been married for 13 years so I'm way out of that frame of mind, but here's my perspective:
You can't go wrong either way, BUT
jump-starting a car puts you in the frame of a savior.
For that window of time, you're more than a man
You're resurrecting a dead machine and helping a lady in distress.
If you wink, you're revealing a human element
If you barely acknowledge her instead and act like nothing can disrupt your focus and attention on this "critical" task, you don't break that frame
But again, I've been married since Christ was a corporal so I could be rusty on this matter. 😃
I use my batteries from my power tools to jump cars. I have 2 pieces of copper wire I stick into the slots in the battery and attach the other ends to the terminals. Works the first time every time.
That's how you do it.
