• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

I've used everything I have, including lithium. Graphite might be next.

It has never been this bad, so I'm guessing that there is a failure of some sort.
 


Be prepared to get hulk nickname when you rip the door off in your work parking lot and nobody messes with you anymore because you ripped your car door off.

Which hinge? My left rear is brutal all of a sudden. I lube it weekly, and after a few days it clunks and feels like it is going to rip off.

This one ^

At the top there's that little roller, well mine would stop spinning and the pawl that rides on it would grind on it, it would make a quiet scraping sound and pop if it finally broke free and spun. It started creaking and that's when I had enough lol. It really kills the ability to name it a nice car if it makes noises like that. I got a jack with a wood block to hold the door up, and loosened both and removed the top one, cleaned oiled and reinstalled.

I had to do the left rear door when I got the car since it started doing the same thing. I'm sure eventually the right two will do it and I will clean/oil them too.

Also I did more stuff to my car today (third time) Gave it a good wash/rain-x by hand for the first time this year, and then clouds appeared in the sky all of a sudden (unpredicted) and sprinkled for a few minutes... Just to make me mad. Oh well it's still clean gladly.

Took off my broken front bumper, put the unpainted one on for now, replaced both power steering lines, took it for a wash and got a warning for "going a little to fast"

My black car did that on the drivers side, then that thing broke off.
 


Getting closer and closer to getting my exhaust done. Need to call some places tomorrow and see where to find a place that does custom exhaust.
