    NEW RIDE In with the new EV ⚡️

    Wagoneer MPG’s not that great for the majority of our around town trips, so went electric instead. Better pics to follow… (Going to beat Mook to it by stating this thread sucks)

    NEW RIDE Angus’ new family truckster - 2022 Wagoneer

    We had been holding back on upgrading and upsizing my wife’s kid hauler, but with the van a total loss from the accident, time to pull the trigger. We looked at the new expedition max, Yukon xl, and suburban, as well as the Wagoneer. But we preferred the interior, seating space, looks...

    Red light, what red light? Family hauler was smashed into - Question

    I’ve lived in Chicagoland, SF Bay Area, DC area, and driven in all sorts of other metro areas, and my new area in the Hilton Head Island SC area is the most dangerous by far. We’ve lived here 7 months so far and both our cars have been in no-fault accidents. There’s also big accidents just about...

    How screwed am I? Odometer records wayyyyy off.

    So we’re playing with the idea of trading in our car and I just looked at my title and the title states about 25,000 more miles than I currently have on it. The car is a 2017 model year that I bought in late 2017 with 24k miles. Either the dealership put 82k miles on the title application...

    iOS help - iPhone deleted all my music

    Anybody have any idea why all my music that was on my iphone was deleted? Now the music app only shows songs I've downloaded from iTunes for the past year. It wont show them if I don't have a data connection, except for the song I just purchased today. I had about 500+ songs on my phone that...

    House Project - Is this wall Load Bearing or No?

    I'm opening up a wall this weekend and I don't believe it's load bearing. Currently, the wall separates the original garage from the rest of the house. Above the garage and this wall is just a pitched roof. I don't have attic access to see, but the second story attic is trusses, i am assuming...

    Any local shops that do tire shaving?

    Looking for a shop that does it? The Goodyears on our escaped have cupped pretty badly in the rear but with a ton of tread left. I'm guessing a good shaving would eliminate the cupping. And yes, I'm fixing what is causing it.

    That'll buff right out... and could have sent someone to the morgue.

    Picked up a Uhaul from the local towing and recovery lot in St. Charles on Saturday. This gem was sitting there :eek3: Guy told me there wasn't anyone in the passenger seat, thank God, and that the driver was fine.

    I'm beginning to adult - Buying a home and kid #2

    The last year has been a whirlwind for us - taking a job and moving out to San Francisco and taking another job back here and moving back after 11 months. Now we're piling on more: We're 3 weeks away from closing on our first home! It wasn't 2 weeks we were back that we went out to see some...

    Anyway to repair plastic thermostat housing crack?

    I was replacing the thermostat in my '06 Saab 9-3 2.0T today and when I was reinstalling the housing, the corner of the housing cracked. I know this operates in a high pressure and hot environment, but is there a way to fix the crack? Prices and shipping time for a new one are tough to...

    How to find discontinued part?

    Picked up a 2006 Ford Escape to replace the SRX a bit ago and it had some minor damage to the rear bumper cover so I'm going to replace it. Problem is that there is a bezel piece that goes on top of the bumper for this roof rack system the car came with and I can't find a replacement anywhere...

    I know, set it on fire and be done with it... Caddy accel problem

    My SRX just started yesterday to show some weird symptoms. After driving for a short bit, when I am stopped and then try to accelerate, the car barely moves. I can have it floored and the first couple seconds it'll creep forward. Then it will get moving all of a sudden and will accelerate like...

    Backed into (pic) - any guesses on $ to repair?

    In the grocery parking lot I was in my wife's saab 9-3 and a lady in a nissan frontier pickup backed right into the rear quarter of the saab. Looking at the picture, the damage is a little worse than that as the wheel fender and bumper/panel seam are pushed in more. I'm a bit more worried...

    Turbo GTP Daytona Repairs

    I've been allowed to share the repair pics of my (and Mook's) old GTP. The buyer took it and immediately went to town to fix it. The person fixing it (Darryl) though, is not the owner. The chain was severely stretched and the reluctor wheel was sheared off. They also fixed some other small...

    Looking for a new DD - Dumping the SRX

    After realizing in order to keep my srx long term, I would need to put many thousands of dollars aside for major repairs. We've starting looking at selling it off and picking up a more fuel efficient, smaller, and more fun car (if available) for myself. Just browsing CL, there's not much that...

    Pics of my Stretched Chain

    Since day one of ownership of our SRX, it would make a clanking noise on hard acceleration. I unfortunately found this out after I bought the car and the dealership I bought it from when I asked to return the car/fix the transfer case/assist with fixing the case said "too bad". So for over a...
