I come bearing yet more Tesla gifts. Guy's car just craps out in the middle of the freeway. Thread ends in the typical KoolAid drinker manner. https://twitter.com/repkord/status/1440908475626754049?s=19

No transmission to disconnect the motor from the wheels so the fail mode just locks it where it is in the event of a total power loss. A Prius has a neutral gear because I'm assuming someone at Toyota thought 'just in case'.

That car is probably on bags. The one slant nose conversion (same front end, better rear than this) I saw a few years back was simply because you wouldn't be able to drive it on UK roads if it wasn't. *edit: found a couple of photos I took. This was about 4 floors up, it would never have gotten up the ramps without bags.

Slantnose 996 rules. Too low is fixable (or bags as noted).

Working on the salvage C10 and go to test the lights. Pull the column mounted hazard light switch, turns on but breaks when doing it so won’t turn off. Have to disconnect the battery then take the broken switch out and put in a spare I had in another column. Thinking I should rebuild the tilt column I have and put all new switches in it because the plastics are just old and brittle. However all the lights work so 90% to passing the inspection to get a salvage restored title.

If that slantnose is on bags then voting right thread. Ruining good cars like that is a loving crime. Suspect I'm gonna be over-ruled by the vote and there's a button press to be done. stone soup posted:

Are the tail lights on those Volvo's two pieces or do whoever did that conversion cut them through the middle? That'd be dedication.

Porsche scores consistently high in most reliability indexes I've seen and they are undoubtedly well put together. The problem I see with almost all "reliability ratings" is that 1) they're self reported and there is a somewhat well recognized effect where consumers are less likely to report dissatisfaction the more expensive the product, and 2) none of them ever seem to account for (or at least present) mileage, because even if Porsches get driven more than Ferraris I'd wager they're on the lower side of the spectrum vis-a-vis miles driven.

Eh the majority of Porsche sales are the Macan and Cayenne which are absolutely going to get used as normal vehicles and accumulated normal mileage.

So here are the things that, in my opinion, make cars qualify for this thread. -Extremely dangerous on public roads. Hellflush, slammed, Carolina squat all fit into this category. You could argue donks (traditionally AI favorited) because the extremely large wheels magnify the moment arm generated on the brakes, making them insufficient. -Crackhead car design. Cars who have been customized in the most haphazard way possible. That one car with a window unit AC in it comes to mind. Fake vents, hood scoops, excessive chrome trim, etc. -The Homer. Cars that are built by their owners who have no idea what they're going for. Grafting on body panels from other cars, motorcoach conversions, lots of body filler, terrible proportions, poor visibility. -Brodozers. 90% of them fit into the first category. But I say this creates its own specifically because the hilarious fragile masculinity tied to them. There isn't another category that comes to mind. The first category is sort of a catch all. If someone modifies their car to be more hostile to pedestrians or other motorists, it's terrible car poo poo. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

As to Porsche reliability, aren't there large volumes of cars that required huge repair bills for IMS bearings?

That is some quality installation work there. Ironically, I feel like the HHR was (one of) the proto-transit vans, and as such, "work van" is perfectly plausible to me. I mean, I wouldn't want whoever worked on that to work on anything I own, but other than that...

I am positive that will cause no sealing issues whatsoever.PBCrunch posted:As to Porsche reliability, aren't there large volumes of cars that required huge repair bills for IMS bearings? I seem to recall in a class action Porsche supplied documentation that it was low single digit % of vehicles, and affected Carerras/Boxters of those gens, while not exactly rare, are not Toyota corolla production #s either. If I keep my 996 and need to do the clutch or something (or any other semi-major work), I probably will change it out because it isn't a great design but I'm not losing sleep over it.

I think the thing about IMS failure is that a 6% chance of a 5 figure bill is far more scary than a 35% chance of a 3 figure bill. Which is also something more reliability rating are bad at.

Meanwhile, BMW built a generation of cars that had their rear subframes mounted to some sheet metal that will tear like a piece of paper with a few chopsticks shoved through it and sold multiple motors across 13 years that need preventative rod bearing replacement e: my bad, it was closer to 20 years S50B32 S54B32 S65B40 S85B50 BlackMK4 fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Sep 25, 2021 |
