My experience doing front end work on an a 7 year old Civic and a 2 year old Compass, or "Are all Jeeps cheap garbage?"
I drive an 8 year old Honda Civic, my girlfriend drives a 2 year old Jeep Compass, I did front end work on both last weekend and wanted to share my experience and ask if it is typical. So my Civic needed a new front wheel bearing and I decided to replace both as well as brake pads at the same time. I've owned my Civic since it was 2 years old and had 21k miles on it, today it is 7 years old and has 116k miles. I do all my own work and service and this is the FIRST thing I've done other than routine maintenance. To do the wheel bearings I had to remove the entire … [Read more...]

I miss driving
I'm a freshman in college this year and I left my car at home, about 45 minutes away, because parking was just another insane cost on top of the insane cost of college in general. I really don't need a car here. Everything I could possibly need is within walking distance. I've taken public transit a few times. I've taken an Uber only once. I do NOT need a car here. Since I'm away from home, my dad removed me and my car from his insurance policy until I come home for more than just a weekend (so Christmas break). So even when I do come home, I can't drive, but my car … [Read more...]
