Wouldn’t they work better with grooves in the rotors? More surface area! Lol The secret big brake doesn’t want you to know!

LifeSunDeath posted:yeah there's car clubs that drive down to galveston on the weekends and they'll all be blasting down the road racing each other, doing dragraces at lights, slowing other traffic down to let the guys ahead race, it's kind of annoying but it's better than biker weekend. We did it, except for the annoying “slowing other traffic down” part, on our way out to Goliad for the Texas Mile years ago. I was friends with a bunch of lawyers who had really nice cars at the time. I had an old 911SC with no A/C. Who knew that the Mobber was inside me all along?

How do you even make something like that happen? Like did he not dump the clutch but instead barely let it go enough to barely make contact? How is that not staged? The cameraman moves in front of the car while he’s still revving the engine like he knows it’s not going anywhere lol

Same issue with construction equipment like track hoes and such. I worked digging up pipelines for two summers during college and whenever the track hoe or dozer needed to cross a road, we would lay down big plywood sheets in front of it as it went. Grab the ones it rolled off, move them in front of the tracks, repeat a bunch of times until it was across the road. It was tedious but certainly protected the pavement

Yeah, I took that light to mean the parking brake was on, but I’ve heard of it also being used as a pad wear light or that the fluid was low

Those are great! Thx for posting. Funny enough, I had just got back from a trip with a rented Hyundai Santa Fe with the active cruise and lane following and all that. Nice car to rent for a road trip. Anyway, it had some new lights on the dash fort the cruise that I didn’t know until trying it, some of which are included on that sheet. The “keep the distance from the car in front of you” indicators were pretty good after realizing what they were saying: A car representing your car and 1-4 dots representing the distance you’ve set as the preferred following distance. Then another light for the car in front, unlit when no car is seen at all, dimly lit when there’s a car but it’s outside the range to follow, and the car turns solidly lit when the systems actively matching speed with it. Pretty cool stuff, thx again

um excuse me posted:There must be brightness settings on those fuckers. One of y'all might know what I'm talking about but the Kings Mill Auto (I think? It's been 10 years) billboards near Cincinnati on i71 are the brightest motherfuckers I have ever seen. Absolutely the brightest object in your vision when they come over the horizon until you pass them. Lol, I do know that sign… and it’s been 10 years since I’ve been to Cincinnati There are a few that are crazy bright. Plus it’s more of an electronic failure, but if you ever see one of those billboards bugged out, it can be quite an experience. Imagine a broken computer monitor cycling between flashing, solid colors, static etc, but that large. We saw one coming home one night and it was truly crazy and distracting. Surprised it didn’t cause a bunch of accidents (that we know of)

Lol, agree with the other poster that this whole thing feels so much like an urban legend. Would love some video/pic confirmation that this works. When I have time, gonna go check out snopes Were they trying to patch that huge tire by just putting many many tire plugs into it? And in the sidewall no less lol. I guess they did it…

We literally had a similar issue last week. Driving a rental car and some huge pieces of metal screen about the size of a table was hit by the truck in front and immediately came into our right front. No one hurt, car was drivable but lots of torn plastic/molding. As soon as it was safe, we got off the road and spoke with our insurance peeps. They told us that there is a distinction between us hitting the object, vs the object hitting the car and that we should pick our words out carefully when we fill out a report at rental place. Thankfully us saying the object was moving and hit us is the right answer. Otherwise if you say you hit something on the road, it’ll count as a “collision” which is worse for us. We are waiting to see if any next steps are needed, but thankfully it seems to be cut and dry. We pay for a special rider for rental coverage to our insurer so we always deny the extra coverage. I think that’s going to help us here as well. We rent cars for all road trips and stuff so it was worth it to us, at least I think lol. God I hate insurance

Is that a 2X4 of wood in between the frame and tank support? I know nothing about trucks like that so is that normal or something? Seems crazy but I suppose it could absorb shock or something idk
