    Have never seen it on a cpu but I found fingerprints inside my old Atari 2600.  Parents got it new in the early 80's and it had never been apart until I did to try and fix it back up.

    He's a garbage person all around. His terrible attitude toward women is the main thing, but he has also cozied up to far-right personalities and exhibited homophobia and racism.  Some shady business operations, too.
     
    Any time people revere a cult-of-personality type like Tate, Jordan Peterson or Ben Shapiro, you should be wary. They're often lousy people who like to create a superficial aura of authority that doesn't hold up under any real scrutiny. They particularly like to prey on angry young men who want to blame some other demographic for their problems.

    I've had two in the past, an RX-7 and a Protege5.
    I enjoyed both. IIRC, they've divested themselves fully from Ford?

    Here it is after the first wash on Saturday. 
     
    didn’t do much to it Sunday, just a couple annoying things like spot treating stains on the headliner. 
     
    it’s nice that the interior doesn’t smell. But man it’s filthy in there lol. Trash in places I didn’t know trash could get to 
     
    even found an old iPod nano lol

    I may have bought an abandoned 2008 Escalade ESV in downtown Lafayette from a rich guy selling a pub he owned there 
     
    He dubbed the car “White Lightning”. It’s been sitting for 2 years lol 
     
    I bought it because it runs and moves and is otherwise just extremely dirty (especially inside) 
     
    Probably gonna flip it.

    Beef Boss reacted to Zando_ in anyone know how to unenroll a chromebook?   
    Should say what company it's enrolled under (our Macs at work do, I would assume that's a standard feature for MDMs across multiple OSes), email them with the serial # of the device and see if they're willing to release it. 
     
    Otherwise you'll have to seek elsewhere, helping folks get around this sort of thing isn't allowed on this forum.

    Ask the sysadmin to release it from the company/school.

    My recommendations are Bridgestone Turanza T005, Toyo Proxes CF2, Falken FK510 or Hankook Ventus Prime 3 K125. These are the best tires from what I have been reading (only really have experience with the CF2s and those are only on one axle of the car I'm driving, can't really compare them with anything else) for someone who wants a decent midterm between full on performance tire and economy tire. Find whichever you can find that suits your Protege (weight ratings and the lot) and it should be fine.

    For my E34, I was considering the Hankooks for example, after being on a limbo between the Bridgestones and the Toyos, because of availability and price. Then again, that still hasn't happened so I can't really talk about them.

    And the Anchor motor mount is headed back to Amazon. Yeeted that thing the fuck out of my car at lunch. Driving 60mph on the highway my rearview mirror shook so hard I could see nothing. The cabin boomed so loud I had to turn my radio up 5 more notches to near deafening to hear it and the sound made me feel dizzy for the first few miles.

    I saw. We use them at work sometimes and while they usually work fine their build quality is...much lesser than what I'd like to install in my own car. I'm hoping blocking the radiator does what I need to get the coolant temp up into the 190's on the highway but I'm not optimistic. What I need are some of the active grill shutters or an electronical thermostat, but I think I have to buy a new car to get those upgrades. If my next tank of gas also sucks MPG then I'll just try another 190 degree Motorad, looks like the only place I can get one is RockAuto. I'll reuse the seal off the Aisin thermostat though to save a little and I can reuse my drained coolant, I can even keep the coolant in the radiator with my giant hose pinch-off tools from China to slightly reduce the amount of coolant lost and refilled to speed up the process.
    By god I'll ruin this car yet one part at a time with aftermarket crap!

    to be honest I'm surprised you had issues with the original coils, I'm pretty sure we had the same ones and they are really solid. I don't ever seen people replacing them because of a failure. It's more the wires I worry about, I had replaced the two wires on mine with the NGK set but even that wasn't as good as the OEM from what I could tell. They work fine, just don't fit as well.

    Mines a 1.8 BP6D. Very similar to yours, just with extra fancy stuff like VVT and piston oil squirters (well..."fancy" for 2002). They didn't have the 2.0L until the NC generation (2006)

    it's very nice to daily a bigger vehicle, just expensive tho.

    at least this time around most of your normal SUV's and such will get mid 20's instead of teens. So I guess we've made /some/ progress

    I paid 4.10 last fill up. Last time it was this high, I was driving the Durango which was 13mpg. The payment of my Mazda was about as much as I was spending in gas per month.
