I just got a callback from the mechanic and in order to get it back on the road it’s going to be 850 for a new axle and wheel bearing. This is on top of whatever it’s gonna be when the state tells me what to do about my out-ofproduction catalytic converter that’s making me fail smog checks on my expired registration.
So I dunno. This could probably get as high as 1.5k. The car’s from 2003
Sorry this is off topic, but does rust belt mean things rust faster there ? I thought it was called that because most things were abandoned and rusted over
They rust faster, when it snows the roads get salted and when that slush hits the bottom of your car it gets hard to control
I might be misusing the term, but I meant anywhere they salt the roads. Usually that’s places with snow, but sometimes they salt dirt roads for some reason I can’t remember.
Salt is a destroyer of vehicles. In my area a lot of vehicles end up in the scrapyard from rust long before they give out mechanically.
