CommieGIR posted:Reminds me of when the auto industry also tried to villify safety belts. Not wearing one is no better than wearing one improperly. So many people end up with the lap restraint right across their stomach and in winter, add 3 layers of heavy clothing to the equation. That's internal injuries just waiting to happen. I hate wearing them but always do, because its the law, and always take the time to adjust properly. because I knew someone my freshman year of HS who had the lap restraint essentially destroy their intestines in a high-speed collision.

Lap belts don't go across your guts, though; they go across your hips. You'd have to destroy your pelvis if you were compressing your hips that much, and if the impact has that much force you'd be dead ten times over if you weren't wearing your belt.

I've come across this viewpoint before and never understood it personally. Maybe it's a generational thing but once I put my seatbelt on I essentially forget I'm wearing it in every car I've driven. Then again I also grew up riding around in the front seats of cars as a kid and that's a huge no-no today so

That's a lot of fat folks out there for which wearing a seatbelt correctly is uncomfortable or impossible.

They have a whole section on fridges - apparently they paint and un-dent and generally do bodywork on white goods as well. I recommend google translate.

Not just that (though I can't really imagine a situation where my fridge would struggle with surface rust), but using a body shop to paint the fridge to match the kitchen is arguably genius, and I kind of want to get mine done in some garish high-gloss metallic now. (Though, sadly, that would not actually match my ikea cupboards.)

Since pininfarina is designing soda machines now, maybe you could get them to sculpt you a fridge and then paint it like a car. I'd go for something pearlescent.

man, now that you say that, I'm tempted to paint my fridge, stove, and dishwasher all SAAB #270 Lightning Blue. I have a grand total of $200 into them (beat up dishwasher came with the house and I planned on scrapping it before realizing it would take 50 bucks in parts to make it work again, $150 craigslist fridge, free stove from a friend) and I need practice before I paint my first project car anyways.

I have been considering repainting our dryer; the paint is worn through on the top after 22-years, and I'll keep fixing it so long as I can get wear parts. My wife is partial to a 50's type light green...

Well I guess I will then  On actual horrible mechanical failures, here is a motor that just got posted in a jeep group...     AMC 2.5L I4, 100k miles. Not really sure how someone got enough power out of one to make it explode. The big end of the rod looks kinda overheated though so I'd have to guess a poor history of oil changes and/or run dry.

Speaking of jeep failures, yesterday I spotted a security officer at work who responded to a late 90's/early 2000's cherokee that had rolled about one car length out of the parking spot it was in but mysteriously had managed to stop in the middle of the parking row without hitting anything. today i saw it going out of the parking lot on a flatbed

Kick-Puncher posted:I legit have this dryer. It works amazingly well for being ancient. The washer gave up the ghost and got replaced though. It's OG Maytag, of course it's still going strong. Maytag really did have a reason to run the Maytag Man series of ads, their poo poo was bulletproof. My parents mid 90s Maytag set is based on the same design as that (they're one of the very last original Maytags built before Whirlpool started just slapping Maytag's name on Whirlpool-built washers/dryers). So far in nearly 20 years of ownership, the dryer has needed a blower wheel ($20, but about 2 hours worth of disassembly, cleaning all the lint out, vacuuming, and reassembly - actual replacement of the blower wheel was about 1 minute), and the washer needed a timer ($150ish? took about 15 minutes). Basic dryers haven't changed much at all since the 1960s or so. Newer ones that aren't basic models are more efficient, but also have a lot more poo poo to break. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 10:21 on Dec 15, 2016 |
