'99 OEM Radio, CD Player, and Amp

Any market for these? Just upgraded to a Kenwood Excelon and not sure what to do with these puppies other than hold onto them for a rainy day.

Two underbody questions

Hey all. Swapping my radiator out and noticed two things while I was under there I was hoping for some help with :

  1. ​What might be causing a slow leak dripping from the end of this bolt attaching the sway bar to the frame on the passenger side. (Photo 1)
  2. What this cable is running from the cat (?) to this little box then into the transmission. The housing is flaking and basically all fell away as I touched it. Wondering if it needs to be replaced. (​Photos 2-4)

Many thanks in advance for any advice 🙏

Is there a collaborative Spotify playlist for this sub?

If not I'd be interested in starting one. I'm sick of my current pump rotation.

Edit: to note that I'm particularly interested in 'kool-aid man' style songs; songs to which you would enlist in the marines while crying because you hate your dad; songs that you would blow someone's head off to (1990s Norwegian style or 2020s Chicago style)

Jason Molina

Peasant-faced bard of midwestern melancholia who loved to rock despite an abiding sadness that ultimately consumed him in the form of (truly) crippling alcoholism. In his waning days, he writes one of the great entries into the American songwriting tradition which, according to legend, is put to tape in a single take. Within are a litany of searingly affecting lines grappling with what he knows is his ultimate defeat by the bottle, and, at the same time, a refusal to accept that fate lying down. A taut, haunting riff lopes alongside verse after verse, delivered in Molina's reedy, not-quite-faltering voice, of biblical allusion and plainspoken recognition of the central joke of the human condition : 'the real truth about it is, nobody get's it right / the real truth about it is, we're all supposed to try.'

A few years and stints in rehab later, he dies age 39 of organ failure due to alcoholism, "cashed out" in the words of a friend, "on Saturday night in Indianapolis with nothing but a cell phone in his pocket."

2-Factor Authentification is going to drive me to suicide

I just had to enter five (5) different codes texted or emailed me in order to buy an $8 pin on eBay in on ordeal that lasted probably six or seven minutes. How has no one dashed up a manifesto and ran into their local craft beer festival with an automatic weapon over this yet.

Quick price check if I may ask

- 1999 SR5
- Automatic 2WD
-  3.4L V6
- 165k miles
- Southern-owned til 2020, in PA since, seems to be rust free but need to verify
- Has had : timing belt at 95k and LBJs, new tires, air/oil filter, valve cover gasket, battery, fluids etc in last 15k
- Clean title, Carfax w/ extensive maintenance records going back to '99
- Apparently totally clean interior/exterior

Seems to me like a pretty mint example but curious what people think would be a fair price. Many thanks in advance.
