Washing. It’s either the touchless automatic or a quick soaking with the foam cannon, because foam cannons are fun. I don’t bother scrubbing anything, unless I have especially persistent bugs stuck on the front. No, it doesn’t get as clean a proper washing, but it’s good enough for me.

2000 Land Rover, fixed the valve cover leaks all proper-like, still leaks at the oil pan a little. Does carboard in the driveway count as a fix? I just have to park more precisely than normal.

Am I willing to halfass car repairs?

Well, I recently built an engine using a severely freeze cracked block that I flux core welded back together. I got the engine back in the pickup and got it running, and the repair leaks. Great. So…….. I gobbed JB weld all over the crack. So far so good.

That pickup also has a seriously cactus flywheel ring gear that I seriously should have replaced…….

The battery in my ’64 F100 has a piece of wood straddling it and sort of affixed to the battery holder. Good enough. Dad used a few sections of garden hose in place of the rubber bumpers for the hood to fender closure. Good enough.

I skinched the lower front fender of my ’20 AWD Prius, and to really repair it would be to replace the bumper cover. Eh, some holes, some zip ties, a piece of PVC pipe and it looks good enough. The cost for replacing it? I don’t even want to know.
