Noticed something not quite right about some train cars today:  Trucks are all still on the cars, cars are all coupled together. It's been kind of windy, maybe that did it? Edit- not wind, and the cars were empty. A full car ran into the line and knocked the first car over according to the news just now. jamal fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Dec 17, 2014 |

 There have been a lot of stories in the news lately about one or two cars jumping the tracks on highway crossings around here.

I picture someone thinking they're having a poo poo day at work seeing one joggle sideways... then watching as the entire line topple over in a neat row.

That thing only got moved overseas recently - the inspection and registration stickers expired this year. Inspection looks like it expired in August, can't tell on the registration. Good job AutoNation!

That's what we like to call the patented FastDrane™ technology at the heart of every fine GM automatic transmission. For years, our customers have paid through the nose for 'flushes' performed by charlatans, but now not only is it easy but mandatory for our customers to do it themselves in the comfort of their own driveway, side of the road, meth lab forecourt or evidence locker.

In the late ninetys's early 2000's selling Big fuckin merican trucks in Russia was all the rage. I imagine the used export market just got a new goldmine.

Finally had my wits about me when something horrible turned up. One of the buses in the fleet we maintain was towed back to the shop, driver claimed it had stopped due to low oil pressure. When we popped the side access panel we found this... next to that hose you see in the middle of the picture you will find the new hole in the crankcase of this Iveco straight six. Further inspection (using our brand new inspection window we) showed a broken crank aswell. Supposedly the operators check the oil level every other day, i guess they missed this one... an easy 25 000 usd gently caress up

I did an automotive apprenticeship straight out of school and balanced 1000's of tyres  , while I never injured myself I'm going to throw some possible guesses around.1. Wheel weight spun off and hit the operator somewhere soft. Should have a big heavy plastic guard over it otherwise it shouldn't spin. 2. Overzealous with the wheel weight hammer and got his thumb instead of the weight. 3. Had his hand near the wheel while it was spinning. Sometimes the two don't mix well. 4. Probably the most plausible but the chuck on the large spindle wasn't tightened and spun off and tore the operators head clean off his shoulders.

Looks like power steering fluid sprung a leak (it is red and can look like arterial spray!).

I'm going with ATF, given the dispenser on the ground. Enough suspense already. Cough up a story, even if it is "I spilled trans fluid and took a cool pic"
