Apparently there's private security blocking people on public walkways in Vegas from watching the race, so they're watching it on the glass https://i.imgur.com/guVrfMW.gifv

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation reboot looking bad, and not just because  at the idea that Clark Griswold could have a job that pays enough to afford a swimming pool.

There was an interview with the designer of this car, years ago, talking about the little head on the dashboard that was meant to assist and react to traffic conditions. I remember him saying that it would react to road rage incidents by saying "Why are you so angry? Be happy!" That's stuck with me a long time and isn't terrible car stuff imo

Cached Money posted:Honest question, why is it always trucks that do this? Trucks like this have a solid rear axle, that locates it square under the frame with springs and linkage. The drive shaft has a joint which allows the axle to move up and down relative to the frame. Long story short, if the linkage goes away, the frame can be angled relative to the axle, and the same joint in the drive shaft that lets it move up and down lets it rotate relative to the frame and still function. The steering up front keeps the truck in the lane. Good for 70mph I guess, until the point something becomes unsettled and the axle switches sides at speed (like for braking) and now you're out of conrol.

yeah, you'll never see it on fwd cars unless there's major rear end damage and it also doesn't happen on IRS cars. it was way more prevalent back in the day when almost everything had a live rear axle

I didn't notice, but they might have done a lift on the truck and then not tightened the u bolts holding the axles to the springs.

 AISS 2023: This Wednesday 11/22 is the last day to sign up! Did you catch a joke probation, make a super embarrassing post complaining about it, and need some holiday cheer to get you back in the shitposting spirit? Then sign up for Automotive Insanity's Secret Santa! Some goon will send you a random assortment of items, mostly some broken car parts, and there is an option for penis-emblazonment. I have enjoyed it so much over the years that I volunteered to pick up the mantle from slothrop and organize it for 2023. So come on down and spread the holiday

Got to the Neon Museum, did not get to the Nuke, didn’t know about Omega Mart because…? Also didn’t have a car, and my wife couldn’t walk far, so going off the strip was problematic. If we go again we’ll like stay at a hotel a bit further off the strip and either rent a car or drive up in the first place.

Also, (for anyone who doesn't know) when you get your car aligned the "thrust angle" is the measurement of what that truck is doing.

The last time I saw an S2000 do that, it whipped past me on the interstate in sub-freezing temperatures, lost control while changing lanes to pass someone else, slid into the far right lane, tagged a family in a Corolla, and they both wound up in the far left lane. No injuries.

terrible car stuff because i've had brain fog for like 8 months now. i've had a terrible vibration in my car for the past year at 65+. first thing i did was take the tires in to be balanced, didn't fix it, so i replaced basically everything you possibly could in the front suspension bushing wise and then i even got new half shafts. all of which were huge pains in the rear end because gently caress Ford. didn't fix poo poo. took the car to a shop for an alignment and still nothing. replaced all the lugnuts because they were fubar and because they were capped, wallowed out lugs, had some play in them. nothing. a few days ago i saw that one of my rears was getting kinda bologna skin so i ordered some new tires and today in the process of putting the new ones on and rotating poo poo, I found out that not only did the dudes who put new tires on the front a year and a half ago gently caress up, but so did I twice as well as the guy I paid to balance them again. there was one wheel that had an inside weight that we had all just kinda brain farted about and it was a loving 3oz weight, everything was so loving out of balance took the fucker off along with another 2 OZ or so, threw it up on the balancer, tossed like 20g all around and it was kosher

that's another plus for living there; the casino industry has been a magnet for culinary talent for a few decades now, and it's thoroughly dispersed into the local restaurant market as people move on from the corporate jobs. the quality of food at local restaurants is really good
