In other transmission news, how big a piece of poo poo was the auto in mid 90's mitsubishis? I know I spent essentially all my summer money rebuilding one in Galant over and over again.

My uncle got tired of the often changed flats on the old farm truck in the 60s and experimented with speeding up the tire changing process by only finger tightening the lug nuts.

nm posted:Or just make sure your dog doesn't get on the loving street. If it isn't chasing bikes, it may get run over by a car. You're really an rear end in a top hat if you let your dog just roam the neighborhood. I understand that dogs sometimes get out, but not this often. The drat woman across the street just kicks her dogs out the front door when it's time for them to poo poo. She'll hang around on the porch to shoo them off and keep them from making GBS threads on her yard, but beyond that... Some dog owners are real fuckers.

Geoj posted:This is pretty much what I was getting at - crumple zones are largely irrelevant when your vehicle's primary defense strategy is to outmass and outsize most other vehicles on the road. It's an unfortunate facet of mental health treatment in the country today that being a complete sociopath is not only unrecognized and untreated but offered a tax break.

Powershift posted:*search for half an hour I had a socket disappear on me once. Weeks later, I was driving down the interstate when I heard a soft crack followed immediately by a loud ping, I looked in my rearview in time to see a chrome flash arch through the air behind me.

Uthor posted:I cracked my dad's windshield with my forehead when I was like eight. He rear ended someone, I was in the front without a seat belt. Didn't feel a thing, didn't even get a bruise, but the windshield cracked right down the middle. He ended up driving it for like another decade with the huge crack in it. Too be fair, it was a late-70's/early-80's Malibu, so I don't know how strong its glass was... My little brother kept wiggling out of his seatbelt back in the day in my mom's Mercury minivan. I brake checked him, he smacked the glass and it cracked all the way across from right to left. He wasn't hurt, either.

0toShifty posted:When I lived up in the mountains in Colorado, I'd shut my car off at the top of this HUGE hill leading into the next town. This was about 3.5 miles. There were 5 traffic lights in the town. If they were all green, I could easily coast all the way to the other side of the town. When I was 14 I had a hardship license and a 25 mile commute to high school. I did a lot of dumb poo poo but was a pretty experienced driver by the time my peers all got licenses 2 years later. One day my LeCar was exactly halfway between podunk and nowheresville with the gas gauge showing half a tank when I ran out of gas. After a particularly brutal soccer practice that afternoon I still had no option but to lace back up my running shoes and flip a coin whether to head to podunk or nowheresville. I jogged about 7 miles before a van stopped and gave me a ride into podunk. I bought a gas can and some fuel and jogged about 4 miles back towards LeCar before I caught a ride on a tractor. Long story short, I got really fuel paranoid in that car which leads to the relevant party of the story. I got into a primitive form of hypermiling and on the trip home there was a point where you could coast about three miles. One day I was getting close to empty so I turned the engine off instead of just idling in neutral. The problem was my reflexive action after turning off the ignition was to remove the keys and toss them in my backpack, which I did. Unfortunately, my long coast downhill had a turn and I entered it perfectly lah-di-dah until half way through my steering wheel locked up and I couldn't disengage from the turn and went bonk right into the ditch.

Christ on a crutch, I've been changing and rotating tires on my personal fleet for twenty freaking years with the 'tighten down with a four way by foot roughly as hard as it was to break loose with your foot in the first place' method and I have never had a wheel come off, a stud or lug nut break, anything.

I took my wife's Camry to a jiffy lube one day when I was in a hurry and the apes at jiffy lube discovered that the apes at the Toyota dealership had mauled the filter the time before. Also, a heat shield was missing, but I can't be totally sure that wasn't her run over every single thing driving style.

CommieGIR posted:USAA. Because it was cheaper, and Georgia rates suck no matter who you are with. My USAA rates have never gone up (except when adding new vehicles) On the other hand, they've never gone down, either, despite insuring the same car from new to now for 12 years with no claims and me aging out of the gently caress you insurance bracket.

Garage2Roadtrip posted:First of all, I didn't say I condone this behavior whether through commission or omission. I'm realistic that bubba isn't going to change his deep rooted vernacular. We can spout moral high-ground all day, but the fact of the matter is, this guy that kastein encountered isn't the problem with America. He's not propagating racism by using a term that everyone in his family, and his friends and their family say as simply as calling a tissue a kleenex, the likelihood that he even encounters non-white people is probably pretty small in his agrarian microcosm that he exists in. TLDR: I don't talk poo poo about people because of their colloquialisms, and lecturing to/about them changes NOTHING. Now see here, Nazi...
