I've been rewatching the 2007 season and recorded this pretty funny and heartwarming moment from the broadcast of the 2007 Canadian GP :-)

The story is: Fernando Alonso has been fighting with Nick Heidfeld for P5 for around 20+ laps. Finally he makes the move that sticks (Alonso outbraked himself previously on a couple of occasions) and Martin Brundle praises his bravery in a funny way :-)
I have the option to buy this car. It has QD 2 4x4 system, with 127k miles. From what I've read a lot of people think its a good year and model. Are they right?
Grand Marquis: 35k miles for $10,000
Avalon: 77k for $12,000
Concerned with reliability more than anything.
Which is better and why?
Thanks!
I just had a quick question. My hazard switch in my 2007 Jeep recently popped out after I replaced the multi purpose switch. I just need to know if I need to disconnect the car battery BEFORE I put in the hazard switch? Or will it be safe enough for me to put it in without any issues?
Thanks
Hey diagnosed the Pontiac down to a gummed up crank shaft position sensor causing it to have a miss in timing and backfire. I gotta replace the sensor so it’s drivable. I currently don’t have a puller because it’s well missing 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️. I do have a three jaw puller and am seeing conflicting info about using that and a wrench extension into the harmonic balancer to get it off but thought I’d ask if anyone else has used a 3 point jaw to pull off the harmonic balancer to get to the sensor on a 3800 GM motor. It’s a $15.00 tool at HF but it’s a 3 hour trip that if I can squirrel away from I will. Thank you my peeps!
Got a great price a few months ago on a clean 2007 Corolla with only 90k KMs. Very happy with car overall, but it’s boring, beige, and rides like shit.
I’ve been doing more and more research into the panther platform, specially the Grand Marquis, and was shocked to see that they’re very reliable, while also being a super cozy ride. I also love the more vintage look, and recently found a mint 2008 with 90k KMs going for a similar price that I bought the Corolla for (5000-6000 CAD).
I don’t have a regular commute, would likely be a grocery mobile and for long road trips. (Love to drive out of the city on the weekends)
Would I be a fool to trade in my Corolla for this plus some cash? I’m aware of the worse MPG, but I’m super enticed by the cooler and vintage ride, while also being ultra comfortable. Thanks!
Title says it all, I'm a college student trying to find a car below 5k and while I've heard great things about Mazda 3's, I don't know if this is the best deal or even something I should be considering in the first place. I'm definitely going to be taking the car to a mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection before anything is definitive, but so far it seems it has a clean service record.
When I was a kid, I had a pet African Sulcata named Chewy. He was awesome, but unfortunately, he got too big, and too strong, and eventually managed to force his way out of the back yard.
This was the first significant loss of my life, so I've had plenty of time to come to terms with it, but I'm just curious if anybody ever found a VERY HEALTHY 4-5 year old (maybe 20 something lbs?) African Sulcata Tortoise roaming the streets of National City around 2008ish. I would love some closure, at least. I'm hoping the little dude was able to live a better life, and didn't end up as someone's soup. He was really cool.
Maybe if he's still around, I'll get to see him again one day. If you know anybody who might know anything about this, please pass it onto them, I'd really love to find out what happened.
Feel free to correct my etiquette, I don't use this website.
I studied a lot and the practice tests on D.E.A.D. have been very helpful. I score well in embalming, anatomy and restorative art. Chemistry and microbiology not so much. Overall im feeling pretty confident and I just wanted to say thank u for this board. Ive gotten lots of good information on here. Wish me luck! UPDATE: I PASSED!!!
