It was a '92 MX-3 and I had 'strategically' rested both ends of it on piles of lumber after jacking it up so that it was high enough to drop it out from the bottom. It was my DD and I had to deliver pizzas with it the next day to pay rent.

From my apartment complex parking lot. I'm not really sure what the story is here, I think this dude tried to go off roading or hill hoping in a sentra? Both side mirrors are smashed and theres mud all over the front wheels. It's been like this for weeks and gets driven daily.

Being from maryland, he probably ran off the road while texting/filing taxes/sending a fax. I see that all the time around here.

Driver side engine mount on my 300td. If these fail, like this one and the passenger side mount is in decent shape, like it was the engine can do one of two terrible things. First terrible thing is drop far enough to put the power steering belt into one of the oil cooler lines and likely ruin the engine. Second terrible thing is it can put the fan into the fan shroud and rip off the oil cooler lines... So yea, I got LUCKY here.

My dad scored an early retirement from the military (normal eligibility would be at age 38) thanks to the budget cuts of the 90s. Yesterday I realized I'm a year shy of his age when he got out. I'm nowhere near retiring from anything.

I had my first moment of that a few weeks ago. Guy was asking me how long I'd been in the field and thought I'd just graduated from high school. I'm like: "Yeah I graduated 2-3 years ago, back in 2010.....Oh. "

FatCow posted:When I was your age sonny there were only 4.2billion IP addresses. My senior year in high school was the year they first installed America Online services to the school's main computer lab and library. Most of those PC's were still running Windows 95 at the time but a few of the new ones had the brand new Windows 98, and our typing/word processor lab consisted of nothing but Apple IIe machines with 5-1/4" floppy drives and dot-matrix tractor feed printers that were noisy as hell. Also I had to walk to work in the rain, snow, or shine straight from school until I made enough money to buy my first car, which I finally did right before Christmas break that year. A 1976 Pontiac Grand LeMans; quite a beauty she was... /  Content: Discovered in a random GIS for "broken timing chain"

But Toyota told me that timing chains never need replaced! Salesmen would never lie, they said I could trust them.

I did a blinker fluid flush on a Cobalt today. Couldn't figure out how it filled up with water. Blew it all out with compressed air. Was considering putting it in the dunk tank to check for leaks. That's a little too much dedication when we're only really changing a light bulb though.

The CRX had issues with the rear blinker cluster, lovely seals and water would trickle straight into it during a rain.

The car I saw with fluid in the tails was a Chevy. It's rained like hell here over the past few days so anything that could possibly get filled up with water has.

Audi put a notice in my manual that moisture in the lights is normal and okay. Yeah sure, that's why my taillight isn't working and the harness and connector are trashed. Thanks Germany.

Ford also has blinker fluid, saw a new mustang in the parking lot @ work with a 1/2 full blinker fluid container.

On my Integra the water would end up flowing past the tail light seals and completely filling the spare tyre well. Was even more fun if you happened to park facing downhill during a rain storm - once the tyre well was full water would flow though and soak into the rear seat squabs and eventually pool in the front foot wells (where the ECU was located)
