I think I might be fucked, /o/.

I switched out the cylinder 1 fuel injector for my 3.3L 2009 Chrysler Town & Country and then discovered that the hard plastic ring below the gasket on cylinder 6's fuel injector was busted (c6 injector is the one with the flashlight shining on it in the picture). I tried to take the one off of the old injector from c1, but it broke, too. I'm on Eastern Standard Time, so it's past midnight and I can't go buy another fuel injector for a good number of hours. My garage reeks of gasoline: is it safe to leave the project in this state overnight? If not, how should I make it safe? Why are fuel injectors fucking $112?

Any rust guys on? I need recommendations on how to combat gard to reach and sand rust. This rust in this corner and under that lip is hard to get to with anything electric and wire brush is useless. Is rust converter useful or just a meme?
Also when I prime should I use epoxy primer or self etching for bare metal frame. I never want it to come in contact with moisture ever again.

Can't find anything but beating around the bush on dumbass Google. Putting subs in my truck, downfiring. My question is will 2 12s or 2 10s sound better in such a shallow space? I don't want to spend money on the 10s then regret it, but also don't wanna spend money on the 12s and it sound like crap. Anyone with insight or experience with both sizes under the seat in an extended or double cab truck?

Let's discuss car colors.

What's going to be the signature car color/s of the 20s?

>90s = Dark Green and Maroon/burgandy
>00s = Silver and Gold/Champagne
>10s = white and black

Think a skyish blue will be in Vogue next?

What car do you currently drive and what color is it?

Thoughts on Subaru Legacy?

I'm looking for a new car, and my commute is about to skyrocket up to 15k a year, just from home to work and back. I like the safety ratings, fuel mileage, and the basic trim is actually pretty nice.

My only real concern is paying 22k for it, and then putting 22-25k miles on it every year. Does anyone know the life expectancy of these things? I'd hate to kill it after only 5 years.

What up /o/ need some advice on buying a new shitbox, and I need yins to tell me if I'm being retarded.

I found a 1985 Volkswagen Golf for $1000 local to me. It's in stupid clean condition inside and out, and runs like a top. I figure this thing would be a nice shitbox to commute to by shitty job(8 miles) and will save me some cash since the 350 sbc won't be chugging fuel anymore.

tldr; should I buy a clean, good running 30 year old hitler mobile for winter beater or naw

What's the best thing to place on a front trailer hitch or a back trailer hitch besides a trailer?

I saw that you can put a toilet seat on the back and shit in the woods in comfort. Does anyone actually have one of these in person?
