I have no idea. Though, giving someone advice on a message board about car buying, homework or beer shampoo's, thats not heeded is trully funny.

 

 

 

Not a shot at you plenz, but I'm surprised some people cant wipe their ass with out asking how to do it here. :rolleyes:

See, that makes sense to me but then it seems like it could take weeks to buy a car. i know I am missing something

 

That's not really your problem, it's the seller's problem, he needs to get the title cleared before he sells to you, at least that's what I've done bought/sold used cars.

Walk up to the dealer and say "I want that one" and you drive it home tonight. Nothing better than a new car. I've had mine a year and I still have a blast driving it.

I prefer the wrap method, where you pull off 30 sheets, wrap them in a ball around your hand, then wipe.

I get that, and I agree, but I really looked for about 30 minutes on the net before getting frustrated. And, it is really not that easy as after all these replies no one is 100% certain. Now, in terms of wiping my arse, shouold I go with a big wad of TP or just a few sheets as that might be considered wastsing precious earth resources? :thumbdown:

Wanna buy my beer-bumped '98 4-cyl S-10 short bed 2wd? Mobil 1 oil exclusively since 2000! :thumbdown:

 

Only 55K miles! Auto, air, cruise! Authentic, noisy deep tread traditional snow tires!

 

So, you've spent more money on oil than that truck is worth eh??

Naa. Last year, I pulled off all the axle bearings and replaced same, and popped off the differential rear cover to hog out the goop.

 

Had a shop press out the front suspension bearings and replace same, U/L ball joints, and replace some of the steering linkage parts - it's a 10 year old vehicle, so all that was preventive maintenance against failure. And had a flushing of the transmission and cooling system. Had a front brake line failure in late '07 (corrosion), so both are recent.

 

With my low yearly mileage, I change out that Mobil 1 once per year, with a 6 mo. filter replacement. Last time I waxed it was something like 2000 - yet the paint is good, and there is very little underbody corrosion. Kudos to GM.

 

Objections to the cosmetic lack of front apron, cracked grille, and a door dent, notwithstanding, I've no reason not to expect it to run reliably for another ten years. Not that I expect to live that long.
