The tail lights on my Audi are made in Italy and melt themselves every 6 months so I found some 1156 style LED bulbs in the desperate hope that less draw would mean less melting only to find out that my car detects the reduced load and disables the lights. So now I have large finned resistor packs wired inline on each circuit and screwed to the sheet metal with some thermal paste behind them because Germany.

A for effort: "Guy buys a low cost turbo kit for his 3v Mustang, loads a N/A tune with 36 degrees of timing, 87 octane, and a wastegate that is plumbed backwards so it never opens. All 8 pistons disappeared, nothing left of them except bits of scrap in the pan"

I think you guys are giving stupid children who think they know how to tune an engine (note: I don't) way too much credit. If I had to assume, the timing was a matter of not knowing the tuner software and resetting the value it uses for the base timing. 87 octane because he didn't think to drain the tank. Wastegate backward is just an idiot being an idiot.

Just a page or so ago was an engine that went almost 70k on its original oil. Trusting anyone to know anything about how to not destroy a car is a lot of trust

 loving TPS sensor screw seized. Even though it had been in and out less than a day before. Busted finger later, it's finally out. And two new, non torx screws replaced those loving piece of poo poo screws.

My personal makerspace of choice is The Geek Group in Grand Rapids. $20 a month, free classes/training, and even though I'm in Detroit (~160 miles away), it's still cheaper to drive out there a few times a month and rent a hotel room for a night then to go to the local TechShop.

It's been available that way in all the parts of Canada I've lived. Plastic gallon jugs are getting more common, though. When I was a kid it was bags or nothing.

Milk bags are not horrible mechanical failures. However, I don't want to derail the derail too much, so have a picture involving a cow (ok, bull!) and a soon-to-be mechanical failure.
