How can you say front wheel drive is not more efficient. You don't even need the back half of the car.

um excuse me posted:Probably not engine related or I probably would have heard something at work about it by now. If they've just gone with "mechanical failure", that could mean a whole host of things on one of those, right?

BloodBag posted:Texas used to have two stickers on the windshield of cars. One was your registration, which required proof of insurance to renew, and the other is your annual inspection sticker. They would both have the month and year they're due so that officers can look at them quickly to see if you're current on both. TX only requires pulling the tags when sold by a dealer. If it's a person to person sale, the tags can stay, or the seller can keep them. That's a relatively recent change - they used to always stay on the car in a private sale. But it's $30 and a printer to get a 30 day tag.. renewable 3 times. But yeah, even printing a fake tag isn't a big deal, so long as a bored cop doesn't run the tags and wonder why a tag for a 2005 Cadillac is on a 1999 Kia. I'm ashamed to admit one of my coworkers has been driving his car like that for a year. It's a beat to poo poo Hyundai of some sort (whatever their high end car in the early 00s was), with a nasty misfire; it's pretty much a rolling superfund site. There's not a whole lot stopping a shop from faking a car through the inspection either. Plug it into a different car, or if it's not OBD2, just stick the sniffer in a known clean car. I don't think the inspection computer queries the VIN on OBD2 here (they might, but these are ancient DOS-based machines from the 90s - they struggle badly enough just printing off the reports).

B4Ctom1 posted:EDIT: I laughed because the other day I was using a chainsaw and picked up the chainsaw "scrench" and realized that was the object that killed my tire and wheel, not something from a car's tool kit as I previously assumed. BTW they ended up replacing the tire this month under road hazard because their fix wouldn't hold air when it was cold out.

Did that just randomly let go? I don't see anyone around who appears to be messing with it.

If I had to guess, I'd say someone welded a rim with the tyre still on it which started a small fire inside the tyre. I think Work Safe BC has a video on it (not this event, but one in which a worker was killed), and you'll find plenty of written reports of people trying it. e: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQbKCd3ezrA&t=59s

The article fails to mention the fact that the car was repaired by Russian mechanics and back on the road by the end of the day.
