Sorry, I didn't see your reply, been dealing with some stuff around my apartment. The rotors only had 30,000 miles on them, but I ground them down by not changing the pads in time. I figured I had...

I'll do it that way. I'm sure this is what he had on hand, but you'd think a mechanic would see its a sports car and give the customer a choice. I would have waited an extra day or two for the...

I don't have it at hand. The invoice might still be in the glove box. I was looking at AAP and noticed they also sell a coated and uncoated, with the uncoated only being a few dollars cheaper. ...

That's a good idea. If it was just the adjustment, I'd do it myself. Since the brakes were burning, I'll let my regular mechanic look at it and figure it out from there. If anything is actually...

e-brake issue

Are the brakes on this car particularly hard to adjust? I went to a mechanic near my house for new pads/rotars since I was riding my bike home. I should have taken it to my usual mechanic, but...

My bike is a little under 30 lbs and my single Kuat bike rack is in that same range. I went with a single bike rack as I had no need for two and didn't want to press my luck. The hitch is quite...

In my opinion, the safest option is the twin hitch with a high quality rack. You'll pay extra up front, but don't have to worry about your car or bike getting messed up. I tried a U-haul hitch,...

Yeah, let's just say I was joking.

But you seriously just prevented me from asking the Walmart automotive section if they have grates for collecting oil.

So, my mechanic called. He says uhaul probably dropped a bolt inside the frame when they installed the hardware. Now I have to get a body shop to fish it out.

Thanks for relaying this. I have a 30 lb double bike rack, but don't anticipate taking a second bike. I may exchange it for a single rack, but it's not going to weigh much less. My mountain bike...

I think this is the route I'll go. Can't polish rough plastic without sanding. I found a sanding sponge that will allow me to sand a small area.

If I'm only planning to do simple maintenance, do I need jacks, jack stands, etc? I was planning to put the front on a ramp and block the rear tires.

Wait, Walmart has waste oil grates in their lot. Will go there if the one down the street has it.

You sure it's not a storm drain? LOL

I'll see if NAPA will let me use their lot since it's in an industrial park. I'll also check with my rental office, but I think they'll say no.

I've always just taken my car in for maintenance. The shop I normally get an oil change at, since it's walking distance from home, just quoted me $100 for an oil change. The place I used to use has...

That bottom scratch is in the clear coat. It'll probably work out with compound. I'll just live with the other one. I'm getting a Slambert or something so I don't scratch it up more.

It's a good idea, but every guard I've seen covers the bottom flat area. I managed to scratch it up on the curved area. Do you know of one that would work?

Maybe I will go for the Slambert. Do you leave it setup or only when you move your bike?
