I went to the car vending machine and wanted a Volkswagen GTI. It was labelled AA so I hit A twice. A fuckin' Mini Cooper S fell out! Apparently there is an AA button I didn't see.

You go to the store with your buddy to help buy a candy bar, but it's taking forever arguing over the kinds of candy bar, because the salesman's girlfriend keeps breaking up and getting back together with him, and you're getting so bored you just need to go for some top down motoring. So you go to the waiting room and spy a Saab 900 convertible in the vending machine. You put your money in, and it gets stuck. You go find someone who can help, and when you get back, you catch the maintenance guy driving off in a Saab 900 convertible! So you come up with an elaborate ruse to prove that the maintenance guy stole your Saab.

Interlaced video? Imperador do Brasil posted:Yesterday was almost 60 degrees so I took the death kart out of the garage for some fun and GoPro mount testing. Did one on the helmet and one on the front frame then took a few runs. The last run of the day ended in spectacular fashion due to the melting snow/wet tires. I couldn't stop laughing, and I was digging snow out of every crevice in the kart. You have all the cool toys, man.

Remove oil cap. Replace all components under oil cap. Oil cap installation is reverse of removal.

As mentioned in the thread where it came up recently, it's not an engine repair, it's an engine swap. Bolts are popping their heads and instead of fussing with it Mercedes replaces the whole drat thing.

There's one of those automatic parking garages near me, but all the parking is under ground so you don't get to see it move.

I know my dad was paranoid about it but his C63 is just new enough to have the upgraded head bolts.

Yep, it happens, I've seen bolts designed by very big names in the aero engine business that fail in the same way.

You'd think by now this is a solved problem and we'd all just use a lookup table to choose standardised bolts but noooooooo. It's not like we've been building stuff like this since the age of steam or anything?

"Standard" parts really aren't up to snuff for dedicated roles. A lot of standardised parts are used, but a lot of the time, they want precisely what they want.

It's heat-fatigue. With the torx head there's very little material left between the head and the actual bolt. AFAIK the "fixed" bolts are simply reverse torx...

That's the Phillip Island gp circuit. It appears to be all of the same cars but on a flatter circuit. Phillip Island is pretty cool though cause it's super fast and the drivers risk getting hit by a seagull along one of the straights.

 Daily driven McLaren 650S. Parks with the plebs and doesn't even go out of his way to park in a corner of the garage or anything. In this picture he's at least at the edge of the row, but most days he's crammed in between two big SUVs with like 4 inches of clearance on both sides.
