I graded “backwards” today just for @Kiwioilboiler.. Actually that’s a lie, this particular hill has 2 steep places that make it very difficult to cut coming up. So I usually just cut both sides as I descend.

And here we have a picture of some dipchit who decided to rip ruts into the road while getting the mail - literally minutes after I just graded it 🤦🏻‍♂️

Good evening fellas.
Fricken cars. If not one thing it's several at once.
TPMS dash light one tire not giving reading, and a gas cap that doesn't seal CEL (seems to happen every 5 years on this Malibu)
And that just what is obvious.
Gas cap CEL fixed(Maybe). Wasn't that bad once looking at the sealing surface of the gas cap. A good cleaning (small amount of crusted dirt) with a plastic brush (or toothbrush) of the sealing surface on the cap, and seems good to go. CEL went out on the 3rd start. We'll see on this one in the next couple of days.

Now for the TPMS sensor (low battery @ 12 years old) I'm may try changing the sensors myself.
I'm in need of a tire bead-breaker for attempting this task.
Are there some bead breakers that folks have had good results with that do not take a lot of storage space AND don't totally break the bank?
I'm looking for suggestions for some that work well on alloy and possibly steel rims from 15-19" min range

If you were closer I could take care of that for you. I bought a cheaper Vevor one that works well enough and picked up an Autel reader/ programmer with some replacement sensors when Amazon ran them on sale last year. Grease the threads and remember they are not for use with an impact. Take your time and they will do the work. Needed to change one on the Odyssey and it was cheaper to do this than take it to a dealer. Got to do another now, but I already have the sensors here.

Thanks for the offer.
What model Vevor bead breaker ?
