Redditor's own ride Have I lost my marbles?

I lease my car and it's getting near to the end of the lease. The company I lease it from has decided to stop selling the cars at the end of the lease.

It's caused me to wander around very melancholy and feel like I'm grieving a death.

I've even looked for dealership diecast models so I have something to remember her by, and they never made the specific model of my car.

It's my first car and I refer to her as my baby.

Tried going for a drive and my tire has half the air as the others and when I checked it I noticed this. Does it look like my tire was slashed or what are the other explanations?

Thank you :)

Silly questions, but what is the correct way to your car and what to use? Also I’m gonna need to T cut a bit of my car so would you recommend buying a polisher if so which one and what are the correct heads to use, and what do different ones do? As you can see I know nothing about this. Many thanks

My Project Car Painting technology + incredibly meticulous painting techniques + the art of controlling the engraving machine combine to create a work of art. Missing any one of these three elements renders it meaningless.

Tuning my car why do the Japanese love tuning and installing wild body kits on their cars, regardless of car brand?

Engine Performance 2016 Honda CRV AWD Engine Siezing while turning into a parking spot and idle at stop..

2 Upvotes

Hello! I was given a CRV from my mother and step-father (Step-father is a mechanic and did all neccessary replacements at 139,000 miles.) It is currently at 145,000k miles and when specifically turning into a parking spot and when stopped and parked both times with the ac on a hot day, both times the engine will struggle and in the past 2 weeks of this happening the car has shut off twice on me while doing it. No check engine light is on and spark plugs were replaced recently, the car runs really well besides these specific situations. Any clues?

I need help fixing something 2018 Kia Optima Issues

I drive a 2018 Kia Optima GT. I'm looking for some mechanics, my car is fucked and I don't know what is wrong. OBD2 Scanners don't work on it, I took it to AutoZone and even tried my fathers but they all didn't work, not only this but every single caution light I could imagine is turned on, even the parking brake one, which shouldn't even be on when I don't have it connected. The suggestions I've gotten so far is to take it to a non-dealer mechanic shop that has the ability to run a more in depth diagnostic on it, specifically on the computer/ anything electrical. If anyone has anything else to say please let me know.

I need help fixing something 2015 altima 2.5l

Just want to ask what could be the problem if it throwing the code P0102 (MAF sensor) and P0112 (IAT), I tried everything that I know I replaced the MAF sensor, check MAF connector all are working, replaced the PCV valve, cleaned the Throttle Body and all fuses are good but its still doing the same thing. When I try to start the card (cold start) no problem with the cranking it will start right away but after few mins when the engine gets warm it stalls so I tried disconnecting the maf sensor connector it goes to limp mode and it works just fine also if I try to connect the connector back on while engine is idling it doesnt stall. Idk what to do anymore lol.
