I love the ads that say “freshly rebuilt engine.”

Rebuilt by who !?!?

My apartment complex has a basic Nextdoor-like social feed where people like to complain about things.

This one lady has written four posts since Saturday complaining that the same girl keeps bringing her white poodle too closely to this lady's fence, where it (apparently) does its business.

Because of this, the lady has declared if nothing is done about it soon and the girl keeps coming back with the dog, she will submit a police report.

Yes, a police report that a dog is pooing on the common grassy area beyond this person's fence.

Saw one of these. "Top end has been rebuilt" or some such.

No further details. And then to even test drive it you needed "cash in hand". I'm like, uhhh, what if I want to have a shop inspect it?

But even then, that's clearly something that's been worked on more than I'd want from one of those.

That's because they really are that good. Perfect for the application.

Yotamd has something similar. Slightly lower profile than oem, but it's a plastic body swap, so no cutting. And titanium, and colors!

Ordered one for the taco as soon as I was signing the paperwork

The Toyota key fob isn't all that different. It could be slightly slimmed down another 5mm or so cutting out the led, and all the button hardware. But it'd be a lot of work

I always question how that's a good thing... I had started looking when most were around 50-80k miles. And they 'needed' a rebuild already!?!

Yeah already saw that before. Yota design isn’t that convincing imo

Just remember not to rub eyes or pick nose if you get it on your fingers.
