See, you get it.

when will you join us again? You know where.

Actually I use Edison style LED bulbs, thank you...

DISCLAIMER: If you have a history of backing out on this, you will be excluded. I'll be sure to remind @Neko

Everything needs an enthusiast.

The Captiva is definitely not an American car... thank you Korean engineering.

It's why mechanics hate engineers.

There is a very simple way to figure it out, yes.

You mean @helpme

Apparently you have to remove the passenger side engine mount along with its bracket just to get the alternator out of its little hole... Looks like a lot of that cost is labor.

Sorry @katt_goddess

If I am in a thread, you don't need to tag me. But I just solved the tagging issue all together.

So I heard about the guy walking with people thing a year or two on Facebook. No idea he was WorstNameEver. Nice.

I just did mine in an AutoZone parking lot on my recent 1,030 mile road trip... $110 and 30 minutes. Depending on the car, it can be pretty easy (if you have a reliable friend who isn't a hack and knows his way around cars)... and if you're able to wait, get one on Amazon. I got a shitty remanufactured Duralast for $110 because I had no choice, but if I could have waited I would have gotten a muuuuch better brand new ACDelco part for $85. AND I had to take the old one in to get a $45 core. At least I was in the parking lot

Must be a Southern thing

I got that but where the fuck does incest come from cold soup? 😆

wait what??

Where?

That is not the ocean.

On the car front: Cleetus mcFarland: I have followed his naked Corvette since the beginning and watched it set the first stickshift GM car in the 7-second quarter mile. He is quite humble, goofy, and has a lot of cool builds Deboss Garage: Humble and very very knowledgeable diesel guy who works on all sorts of projects. Grind Hard Plumbing Company: If you've seen the really fast Barbie Mustang... they have built so much more since then. Aging Wheels: He owns a Trabant! And a couple other shitty quirky cars! He's mainly into communist shitboxes and electric vehicles that are a large step down from a Tesla. Rich Rebuilds: A learn-as-he-goes dude who buys salvaged Teslas and rebuilds them - though he has taken on other projects as of late. RegularCars aka Regular Car Reviews: it's that. He reviews anything and everything. From Grandma's '93 Cutlass to the Suzuki Cappuccino, and does so with decent knowledge mixed in with some fucked up dark humor. 24hoursoflemons: The guys who run the 24 Hours of LeMons race series do recaps of each race, and said race is basically cosplaying while racing a shitbox car all weekend with a drunken potluck in the middle of it all. It's a bucket list thing of mine. On the not car front: The Proper People: Urbexing done right, mainly old factories, asylums, hospitals, and amusement parks. Lately they've been traveling. Explore With Us: Most of their Urbexes have been ghost towns and such in the Nevada area, but lately they have been doing a lot of missing persons cases, which I fine just as interesting. Sal: Dead/dying malls and the history of them. he is actually a little daring too, when he does his walk-throughs he sneaks into the blocked off parts. LGR: Most of what I watch of his are videos about old computers and other gadgets from way back when. Hydraulic Press Channel/Beyond The Press: Experimental things with a hydraulic press and other various pieces of equipment... spoiler alert: decks of cards literally explode when crushed. He's also from Finland, so that accent is hilarious. Jeff Favignano: Does a lot of play-through with new games, mostly oddball simulators. I have a lot more but eh, I just kinda picked a few that stood out.

Please do not mention Packard's cooking. This thread is for cold, wholesome soup. Like chicken noodle for example, with that lovely gelatin on top.

I'm not sure I like it very much.

Not even some thick, creamy, cold loaded baked potato?
