Haven't we exhausted all these puns? This thread is supposed to be about mechanical failures, but all i'm seeing is a bunch of interference.

Why do the Dutch like tractor pulls so much? Seems like half the vids around here I see of tractor pulls are from the Dutch. I thought it was a redneck american thing?

This was posted in the Stupid poo poo thread, but I thought it warranted a mention here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_City_Disaster quote:The blast leveled nearly 1,000 buildings on land. The Grandcamp explosion destroyed the Monsanto Chemical Company plant and resulted in ignition of refineries and chemical tanks on the waterfront. Falling bales of burning twine added to the damage while the Grandcamp's anchor was hurled across the city. Sightseeing airplanes flying nearby had their wings shorn off, [4] forcing them out of the sky. Ten miles away, people in Galveston were forced to their knees; windows were shattered in Houston, Texas, 40 miles (60 km) away. People felt the shock 100 miles away in Louisiana. The explosion blew almost 6,350 tons of the ship's steel into the air, some at supersonic speed.

SimulatedWoodgrain posted:Not sure how horrible this failure is, but it sure could have gotten bad if it had been let go any longer. Off my friends 06' SE-R Altima with about 90,000 miles on it. Hes always gone on and on about how the precats go to hell and can ruin the engine. Well he decided to dump a bunch of money on racing line precats and Y pipe, this is what we found when we got the old ones off. Looks like they came off not a moment too soon. What exactly is going on here? I just bought an 06 SE-R recently, is this something I should be concerned about?

stevobob posted:Here's an idea of what a catastrophic truck tire failure could do. The split rims are the worst, but a sidewall failure can happen on any style of wheel, and are loving terrifying to think about. Instant deafness at best, decapitation at worst. I guess no one showed this to Holdbrooks.
