  • Using baking soda a bit of water and some time will also get rid of the corrosion along with neutralizing the acid which tends to come back otherwise.

    Just disconnect and remove the battery. Wipe the battery with a paper towel covered in a paste made from baking soda. After, rinse it off with some clean water. Clean and rinse the car’s battery tray and Clamp like you did with the battery. Get a large-ish bowl or dish with some water and. Soak the harness terminals for a few minutes while adding baking soda until it stops fizzing. Get an old toothbrush and scrub the terminal with a baking soda paste. Rinse, re-install everything and you’re done.

    It got my harness terminals from a crystallized mess from leaking to looking brand new (seriously) and none an issue for the past 4 years.














  • And then have the audacity to accuse the other side of “prejudice” and lack of “critical thinking skills.”

    Hey, all I’m doing was explaining the holes in the implied logic that rental cars are unnecessary.

    Oi, and if you are able to read between the lines and notice word/grammar choices, you would notice what the undertone of using “pick’em up” conveys.

    Then… they can get their family to come pick’em up in their pickup truck.

    As it is, I’d rather ride around on my board, but it’s not really feasible in most situations for me.

    So, someone’s sister who works in a 100% remote IT job and who moved to a quiet rural town to raise her family is supposed to pick up and fit 5 people (including luggage) in her early 90’s Civic hatchback from the closest airport/train station that’s 100-200mi (160-320km) away?

    I’d suggest that you work on your prejudice and critical thinking skills, as how that comment was worded was uncalled for and easy to poke holes in the logic of. You have to keep in mind that not everyone who lives in a quiet and isolated (even possibly self-sufficient) town is the stereotypical blue-collar farmhand that is commonly displayed by the media.
