Which should have been counteracted by a proper wing. That said, an air dam would have been a good idea, too. They tried to keep it stock-appearing a bit too much on both counts. Batman is a crime-fighter, not a mechanic. Though you'd think he would have a Bat-fire extinguisher button. Or one on his belt.

LifeSunDeath posted:I punched the steering wheel in my 96 sentra one time and the horn got stuck on. It was pretty funny. I was sitting behind a dude at a red light in my 10-year-old '82 Reliant and the light turned green and the guy didn't go anywhere so I blipped the horn at him, as one does. The horn stuck on. When the guy started to move and the horn stayed on he just looked at me in his rearview so I took both my hands off the wheel and waved at him to show him "It's not me, dude." Then I pulled into Blockbuster, popped the hood and disconnected the horn.

He deserved that violence for putting his foot on the wheel during that “procedure”. I hope he wasn’t seriously injured, just enough to learn the lesson at hand.

If it shakes more than three times, you are playing with it.sharkytm posted:I wired the horn to the turn signal circuit on an old frenemy's car. I mean, other than that time I harvested a bunch of CDs from cars at the pick n pull, found the most ridiculous ones, and ended up putting Seal - Greatest Hits in shy boy from chess clubs car, maxed out the volume and started it playing, then shut it back off, so it would immediately start blasting at him the next morning.

MrYenko posted:The weight difference between the two ain’t gonna make a difference at 150+. For a given angle of attack, lift is proportional to the square of velocity. A factory C2 won't hit 150+ regardless; they're not even geared to get that high. I was just agreeing that yes, they get real light in the nose, and probably at lower speeds than most people would expect.

For extra comedy, get the horns from the smallest 80s shitboxes you can find (think Ford Festiva, Geo Metro, etc), or the largest 70s landbarges (the landbarges may have as many as 5). Either a tiny little meepmeep that you don't expect from a truck, or a loud as hell multi-tone HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK that makes you poo poo yourself.

Maybe because I assume Americans use moon units for everything but my brain immediately decided that the pressures weren’t that different from each other, and why would you post this picture of a perfectly fine thing.

I see that a lot with low-line systems that don't report individual pressures, just a "low tire" light. People will inexplicably just keep adding air and can't figure out why the light won't go out, so then they bring it to me and want the flat tire fixed. No excuse for that person though. Unless that's a SRW 1 ton pickup, then it's not that far out of bounds.

My mom got her summer tires put on by a local shop and they filled the tires this much. I think it had to do with converting psi to kpa. The traction control hated it and was braking wheels randomly while I drove it down the highway. Was a fun time.

Ruflux posted:My mom's car had a flat tire and because she lives in the middle of nowhere, it took weeks to get a replacement shipped (apparently the local auto shop guy complained the tire was too soft so he couldn't really get it repaired and it kept leaking) and meanwhile all she had was a miserably tiny temporary use only spare which needed to be inflated to some obscene amounts of pressure, which made stability control want to brake that wheel all the time. A fun experience for sure, as soon as you let go of the accelerator the car suddenly tries to heavily veer off towards the left. I have no idea how the gently caress that spare tire qualifies as anything but a bad joke. I have a '17 Focus and I had to have the spare on for a couple days not too long ago waiting for a replacement and it was a loving huge pain in the rear end to drive with it on. Major torque steer while accelerating and lots of brake steering too. I think this is the first time I've ever driven a FWD car with a spare on the front, IDK if you're even supposed to do that but it's how the shop gave it to me so I rolled with it.

I always put the donut on the rear and move a rear to the front when I get a front flat in a FWD.
