It's actually my neighbor's cart. I fixed it for a quarter pound of weed. I make the wife pot butter to help manage her pain. It has some sweet swirly pinstripes and chrome colored plastic hub caps. I'm still procrastinating and haven't fixed my own electric cart.
There's a guy selling a street legal golf cart sorta near me. I want it BAD but I have no where to park it. It'd be great for around town errands.
We used the shit out of ours the last place we rented, in town. You could drive it on every street but the main road thru town, you could cross that at every intersection. You just had to buy a permit every year. Not long after we bought this place, the cart started breaking down a lot. I've grown to despise electric golf carts because of it. They make golf cart covers if you need to park it outside, if your neighborhood allows such things. We didn't have a garage at our last place.
I had one of my 2 electric fork-trucks take a shit. Been out of the shop 2+ weeks now, some sort of electronic-sensor issue. We have a supplemental LP rental to get us by. I'm SURE the company that repairing this is going to upsell us on a new battery pack as well. And we'll buy it. I'd bet my wife's tit's on it.
Listen, I tried explaining what this place is, and who you all are, and that I wouldn't include her face, but APPARENTLY "That's not a Good enough Reason". Also, we're on week 3, and no idea when we're getting our Fork-Truck back.
I know that I'm a little late to the Savagegeese channel but god damn, they're great. The amount of work they put into their videos is outstanding. With the amount of factory people that show up for their interviews just speaks to their respect in the industry. 10/10
So, a key fob for my 2023 Tacoma went AWOL. I'm down to the one, plus the emergency metal spare. Dealerships are quoting me $215 plus service to replace (one of them was $480!). Surely there's some way around that bullshit?
Some cars need 2 keys to program a 3rd. Some just need 1 key. If you require 2 keys to program a 3rd and only have 1, you are stuck at the dealership.
I've had keyfobs with the chips replaced at Ace hardware. Depending on the location, they may or may not have the ability to make that specific key. Might be worth calling around. I had one made a few years ago for $80 I think. Edit: poking around, found this locator tool https://www.acehardware.com/automotivekeys
lol, I went to Ace a couple years ago and was like $80?! Screw that. I ordered the thing from Amazon and got a locksmith to program for $40, I think.
Last winter I had both keys replaced by a locksmith. He didn't need either original key. DD, try a locksmith, the one I used charged half what the dealer wanted for one key. Also, do a search online for your keys, there are aftermarket keys that work...some don't, but they're a fraction the cost. It may be worth taking a chance...evennif it doesn't work, you're only out a few bucks.
Back in August, the mechanic that did my state inspection said I had 10% of my brake pad material left. They barely pass, he said. OK, thanks, I'll ride around a couple more months and replace them. It seemed reasonable, they're the original pads. They're six years old and had nearly 100k miles on them. I was surprised they lasted that long. So I did it, on this guy's recommendation, ordered pads, rotors, all the little clips. For all four wheels. Here's the pads, I think I could've stretched them out another four years, at least. If only I'd taken the time to look myself.
Eh, keeping old pads seems a little excessive, no more than pads cost. I went ahead and installed everything, because I'd paid for everything and had started before I realized what was up. I do plan on keeping the old rotors. That will save several hundred dollars since, next time, I can have them turned without the hassle of leaving the truck on blocks while taking them to town where someone has a brake lathe.
