I bought a new car there. I took it for the first oil change. The next day I went on a road trip and had no brakes! Turns out they didn't screw the cap on the brake fluid and it all leaked out. It was so scary. Took it in the next day and literally waited around all day for them to put brake fluid in. No refund for the original service. I traded it in that day at another dealership.
I should have been more clear. With a Mercedes, you get a service once a year. It's either A or B and you alternate every year. They both include oil changes, but B service is more extensive and includes changing the brake fluid.
I've got 3 Harleys and an Indian. Both my '05 superglide and my '21 roadglide were goddamn near impossible to find neutral on for the longest time. Adjust your clutch, whether you think it's necessary or not, just do it, it'll help.
I considered throwing those two in, to be honest. Red Fang is great, I discovered them completely by accident. They are one of those bands that make me nostalgic for the late 90s-early 00s when music videos were a bigger thing. They make funny ones.
Ironic thing about that, Master techs from lexus can't cross over to Toyota as a master. However, Toyota master techs can cross over to Lexus and remain a master. The Toyota side has more tech training.
It's a long story dating back to the soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Charlie Wilson's War (the book) covers it. Essentially, we (the CIA and congress) bought the Mujahideen a bunch of cheap trucks and they, and others like them, liked them so much that it's become the go-to vehicle for war modding in that part of the world.
Ah. Yeah. I've heard that. LHM was bought out entirely by Asbury Automotive. They kept LHM as a subsidiary, but they are changing a lot of how LHM used to operate.
Where did you all move in from? Novice D&D player here. Try Duke City Games. And/or New Mexico Gamer Society. I've been in NM for about 15 or so years now. Most native burqueños can be fairly clique-y and it takes a long time for them to warm up and accept you. You'll more than likely make friends with other transplants.
Proved your own point? You said cars overheat when the jiggle valve is installed up. It's designed to be up. Those mechanics may not be the dumbasses you take them for..
Flashback to when I worked receiving at Macy's. I happened to be on the sales floor when this 20-something dude walks up with what looks like a high-school girl in tow.
I'm pretty sure you can get a high-performance tin-leather-felt gasket from Fel-Pro. Summit sells a carbon fiber one, but I think it's just a gimmick to waste money on.
I was at a local music venue a couple of years ago and saw this cream-colored Vespa parked out front of the 60s mod style. Plenty of chrome trim bits and accents. Clean as hell. Just as I was finished rubbing my eyeballs on it, this dude might as well have gotten dropped off by a DeLorean. He was completely dressed up as a 60s mod, came out to grab his pack of smokes. Started telling me about his scooter. It even had a cheetah print blanket/shroud thing that clips on to cover your legs in the cold. It was pretty badass. The guy was interesting in himself, said he was going back to Liverpool or something like that. I saw his Vespa for sale on marketplace a few months later.
My dad always had them in his trucks. At first they were called Jump seats and then in the mid 90’s he got a new truck and the salesmen called them bucket seats so that’s what we started calling them, but we used the two terms interchangeably.

That makes no sense. There's no reason to mess with your brake fluid during an oil change.

Lateralus by Tool
Most of Them Crooked Vultures. John Paul Jones has a very melodic style
Bandoliers, man.
any suggestions to get into stoner rock?
Kyuss is arguably the band that made it (I said ARGUABLY).
Id say toss in red fang and truckfighters and you have all the big names.

Dealership auto tech.
And hard to believe, but Lexus is a step ahead. Supposedly you have to be top 10% at a Toyota line to even apply for a Lexus one.

Toyota still has never explicitly stated how ISIS ended up with a fleet of hundreds of brand new Hilux trucks...

Larry H Miller Service is horrendous. Avoid.
Out of curiosity, what specific store are you referring to? Or do you mean any LHM store in general?
The Lomas Jeep lot is the pain in my ass

Depending on if you have a 4 banger or V6... As far as I'm aware on all vz engines it goes down- that was a lie
I'm a dealer certified tech. The 93 camry v6 had the 3vz engine.
I guess I just proved my own point on confusion with jiggle valve orientation

Sturgill Simpson - Sam
Mossberg tolerances would like to have a word with you.
Benelli too.
Toyota tech here.

I daily my stock 883 to work 15 miles each way. Mostly freeway riding.
Nobody cares. And those that do are the Sons of Anarchy wanna-bes that you really shouldn't care what they think anyway.
The early 13s were worse on account of their cat-gut head gaskets. They switched to lead-asbestos gaskets at the end of production Q2.

We actually make gaskets from felt and leather lol.
I know, my comment was slightly tongue-in-cheek. Lol.
No gloves…
Why are they NEVER wearing gloves!?
I got food poisoning from the Long John Silvers @ Rio Bravo n Isleta.
Long John's? You got what you deserved. Lol.

That salesman was a jackass.
When I shower or when I'm at work (mechanic). Otherwise, I'm always wearing it.
