Linedance posted:Isn't it just a van with an olive paint job and rims? Or is there something more to it? Sounds right, there's no way to tell about the good stuff, but I think when most people with this sort of interest see something tastefully done we assume it's modded just as tastefully. Like seeing an integra with m3 vents, a huge fartcannon and a park bench wing, I automatically assume it's got a dryer hose cold air intake, a red manifold with flaking paint and cut springs. But when something is done well outside, the possibilities are endless under the hood as they took care to do the exterior, why not the engine? Either way, modded or not I'd rock the poo poo out of a tastefully lowered van.

They take full sized Dodge vans and slam them down on some ridiculous suspension setups and stuff huge engines in them, then go racing. Crazy stuff.

LeftistMuslimObama posted:Can't find a news article to support this anymore, but I remember a year or two back here in Wisconsin all the local news stations had a piece on a guy the state troopers pulled over who was going 100+ on the interstate on the wrong side of the road who ended up blowing a little over 3.0 at the station. No idea whether he survived. It's possible I'm just faulty-memorying a local tall tale into a real event, but it's 'sconsin and I can totally buy into the idea of a guy downing a couple 30-packs at a tailgate and getting on the road. In Wisconsin... we call that tuesday night. I can't count the times I've read about people getting popped for their 11th or 12th DUI.

I had a friend give me a right home once (she was my DD) only to have her go, oh hold on hand me that. And that was a blower coming out of her dash that I didn't see. Those things are scary, btw. You have to blow once every 2 minutes and it takes about 10 seconds of full-blast lung capacity to register. If you don't blow, it cuts your engine. I'm amazed people don't black out from blowing that hard that much or get into crashes when their cars suddenly stop running.

Can we agree that making someone blow into a lovely little device 10 times on a 20 minute car ride is maybe a little bit excessive, though? I know ignition interlocks were a thing, I thought they were just for starting the car though. I know the justification is probably "the kids" and "Mothers Against Any Alcohol Ever in Any Context" though.

I know ignition interlocks were a thing, I thought they were just for starting the car though. I know the justification is probably "the kids" and "Mothers Against Any Alcohol Ever in Any Context" though. All of the ones I've seen require regular blowing, but it's generally every 10-15 minutes, and they're sometimes hooked into the VSS so they only require it while stopped. I'm sure they can be programmed for 2 minutes, but that's seriously (a) excessive and (b) a traffic hazard. I mean, if I'm having to give my car a blowjob while driving, I'm going to be pretty distracted for the 10-20 seconds it takes to finish. Those things are seriously expensive too, and generally require a monthly monitoring fee. Not to mention all of the hack and slash wiring the installers do.

some texas redneck posted:You just took so much of the fun out of driving for me. They are normally 10-15 minutes regardless of vehicle speed or state other than ignition being set to ON. 2 minutes is pretty bad. There are different types depending on the company they are from. Some require some hefty airflow, some require you to hum while blowing. Price is generally in the $100 a month range but can be a touch cheaper if you pay up front for whatever window you got hit with (typically 6 months or a year). Most have a "countdown" time that lines up with the monthly bill. When the timer runs out you have to go to the service center to have the timer reset. During that time they pull the records from the unit and send it to the MVD/DVM/court. They have a warm up period when turned on for the first time (like overnight or whatever) that typically lasts 2-5 minutes. 20+ minutes if you left the unit in your car while in winter (the harness has a quick disconnect port that looks like an old PS2 port). The units also hate excessive heat and will straight up not work if you left it in the car while its summer or you have a long drive in a car with no A/C. So in the winter time you're cupping the unit in your hands blowing on the casing to get it to warm up. In the summer you're standing in a gas station trying to cool it down because you spent to long grocery shopping. When I had mine (yes, I made some dumb choices and paid for them dearly) I did a lot of research on shops (in Arizona the interlock shops are independently run) and found one that seemed like they did a decent job with installation and didn't murder my ignition harness. Research also steered me away from shops that used units that required you to hum as they tend to be way pickier about clean test results. Using them is while driving is one of the worst driving experiences of my life and I'm not even referring to the inherent shame of using one. If the cable is long enough it's bunched up in the foot well. If it's not long enough you run the risk of accidentally disconnecting it because you're dipping your head down below the dash and putting stress on the cable while testing which results in "suspicious activity" if the cable pops off, an immediate suspension, fines, etc unless your appeal goes through. This happened to me once on the freeway at 65mph+ and it was terrifying. During a rolling retest you generally have between 30 and 60 seconds to test or you get an infraction. When it happens at really inopportune moments you're scrambling to do very dangerous multitasking like navigating an intersection after a fresh green light, a busy parking lot etc in addition to driving a manual car. Even my installer made a remark: "Manual? Good luck, dude." The icing on the cake? Drug DUI's require alcohol interlocks. The sheer terror of playing vehicular Jack-In-The-Box vastly outweighed what the unit was actually designed to do in theory.

So while a good idea in theory, in execution the device does nothing for safety and essentially works as a revenue generator for the state. Somehow I'm not surprised. Despite the avatar, I'm not arguing in favor of drunk driving, I just had no idea how excessively invasive ignition interlocks were. Holy poo poo.

A guy I know has one in his car and he has to stop drinking at like 9pm every night because he has to leave for work at 7am and even though he's not even feeling buzzed at 10pm the .004 or whatever residuals in the morning are enough to not allow him to start his car. Clearly the solution to people with alcohol problems is to make them lose their jobs because they had 3 beers the night before.

Obviously drinking beers the night before work when they know that doing so will endanger their employment is entirely beyond their control. Kind of like smoking weed in the days leading up to a drug test for a job is something that simply can't be avoided. It's a miracle anyone has a job.

Someone up top said that if you fail a rolling retest it will cut the engine. It will not do that. It will, however, prevent the car from being started again requiring you to get the unit unlocked at the service center. I had a lot of failed rolling retests in the beginning because I did not have the lung capacity to do it from smoking so heavily for so long.
