Here's a question, timestamp of you being on that track, thus backing up your random unprovoked criticism, or GTFO :D
is it actually possible to improve the aerodynamic of your car by yourself and significantly lower the MPGs or would anything you can do either do nothing or even make it worse?

Some old cars could benefit from air dams.

Definitely possible but looks ridiculous. Just taping up the grill and putting Moon discs on is pretty good but obviously can lead to cooling problems for the engine and brakes.

What are causes for steering wheel shake? It happens on and off, from almost smooth to very shaky. Could I have just lost a wheel weight?
Can a wheel be balanced accurately enough at home or do I need to take it to a shop?

Any number of things
Possibly
No you cannot do it at home.
>>
>>14123153
Unbalanced wheel.
Or you can have a bulge in the tire like this fucking van did
Or something worse. I have no idea.

Unbalanced wheel all the way.
Had an sx4 with shoddy wheels, steering shakes. Put some 17" impala wheels and now I can go 100+ without shaking.

Any Honda Element owners here?
Craving this car for a while now solely for its functionality.
Tons of room, hard floor, Honda, reliable, seats fold up etc.
Are there any other cars out there of similar stature?
Just moved to the city and am willing to sacrifice my '05 Civic MPG for storage room.
What else would you recommend?

If you like going fast so much why don't you just buy a motorcycle?
$252 a month for 200mph. It can do the quarter mile in under 10 seconds. [spoiler]well you can't but the bike could.[/spoiler]

Acquire money.

>>14122866
Do you want to get into as a business or profession? Good luck starting you're own shop and being successful. Local machine shops are dying art. If you want to work for one many technical schools have programs to place you with a manufacturer.

So yesterday I spent ten hours under my car. yes, TEN... HOURS. from 4 pm yesterday to roughly 2 am this morning... I was working on my car non stop.
I had to change out the giubo, csb, and shifter bearings on my 2003 Z4 (pic related though not my car). some highlights: 2 hours spent cutting through the centering sleeve using the saw blade and file of a gerber multi tool (centering sleeve is a bushing at the nose of the driveshaft that centers it with the transmission flange, that you're supposed to be able to push out with hydraulic pressure. I had to cut through it with a gerber multi tool saw because... well because I planned poorly and didn't heed murphy's law and didn't anticipate the sleeve being utter shite) taking out and putting the exhaust back in by myself. one piece from the header all the way back... waaaayyy heavier than it looks. and my neighbor called both the cops and a tow truck for me despite the fact that I pay for a parking spot in my complex just so I can do this stuff with property management's permission.
so, here is my christmas song about this experience
12 bloody scrapes. 11 dirty flakes (falling in my mouth). 10 hours laying. 9 stubborn bolts. 8 hammer blows (if multiplied by ten) 7 parts removed. 6 hours in I
m tired. 5 WHACKS TO THE FAAACE. 4 hours with a gerber. 3 angry neighbors. 2 curious cops. AND A MECHANIC CUSSING AT HIS CAAAR.

I just bought a new shitbox for my winter beater, paid 1.3k for it, debating if it is it worth it to spend 150$ for window tint? It's a 2004 chevy 4 dr sedan aveo btw. Advice /o/?

Thing is there is a tint law in my state.
70% light must pass through both front windows, no law for the rear windows.
