Holy gently caress, I would have been in their faces the entire rest of the day, as loud as possible, until they either made it right, or called the cops. I'd have probably blown a vein or something. As far as their trucks, the few times I've used them, I've actually gotten a good truck.

Those things are only rated for like 2K pounds at most! Miatas are light, but not that light.

Beach Bum posted:There was both a mechanical failure and mechanical success here This has to be staged. I took a 3" zip disk from a tiny die grinder to the forehead a few years ago and it felt like getting hit with a hammer, I was dazed for a few seconds. A huge piece off a 5" disk would cause way more damage, both to the lens and to the guy's face from impact with the glasses. He should have a black eye at least. Plus look at the lens around the shard, there's no way that was pierced, it was obviously precut, and then had the piece wedged in.

I pulled this some 5000mi without issue; I'm going to guess it was 1400lb. I can't imagine doubling that and using something with a third of the power and terrible brakes.

Old tow pics of some stupid poo poo I did in the years before AI.  Fat worthless customers truck. that trailer was a giant piece of poo poo too.  rotbox 96' 5 speed sd i bought.  3.2 swapped 190e i put together and traded for the rotbox. biggest mistake. I think these were when it still had the low comp worn out 3.9 before i blew it sky loving high and swapped in a 4.2 with a cam.

I believe too that if they only have one seat you can do it unaccompanied with just an L plate, and older tanks are also road tax free, MOT exempt and congestion charge exempt...

`Nemesis posted:Posted this in the OSHA thread, but I think it'll be appreciated here as well Part 2 is way more booring, they brought in a large 3 axle tow truck and hooked it up from the back, also yanked off a big tree branch in the process. Maybe pulling at a slight angle first to get around the tree would and hooking up backwards could have saved the smaller truck. Not Wolverine fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Jan 9, 2017 |

I can only imagine that he at one point heard someone say that's what you do with bungee straps but forgot about the bungee part. If you had a bungee strap, you would just go (though not that fast), build up a bunch of energy in the strap and then that would slowly pull the other truck. But he just has regular straps.

A bungee strap used in that video would likely have done nothing but send his ripped-off front end on a more impressive trajectory.

Ford E-350. Pulls to one side when you hit the brake, sometimes makes a grinding noise: And this nightmare with a Kia Soul:  Not only were the hub and bearing completely destroyed; the excessive free play forced the axle up into the inside of the spindle, mashing the ABS tone ring straight into the sensor and ground them both into useless chunks. By some miracle, the spindle survived with only some surface damage.

It's remarkable how long you can apparently drive on a bad wheel bearing before the wheel falls off. Look at how mashed some of those balls are. e: jesus christ, 2008?
