Oh boy, hope it don't rain Serjeant Buzfuz posted:I had a moonroof decide to depart my vehicle while driving down the highway, hoooolyshiiit that was a sound. I had this happen when I was young & dumb (1985) & trying to reinstall it while I was driving in shore traffic back home to DC after a weekend on Long Beach Island NJ. Sun was going down & it was getting chilly. It was an aftermarket unit I had installed, that had this very finicky way of locking in the front that I learned (the hard way) should not be attempted while inside the car. Thought I got it OK but when the traffic jam broke & I hit 35MPH it went FWOOP and I watched it flipping end-over-end in a graceful arc until the Olds station wagon behind me hit it & then it was just a galaxy of tiny light points. Why yes, it started raining on my way back to DC Olympic Mathlete posted:...

I was all ready to be mad about a car from the age of computer controlled everything letting you select reverse while at 50 MPH. Came away pleasantly surprised.

I was more shocked at even attempting it, what thought process leads to "I'm about to do it live" and testing whether you can toss a car into reverse from drive at 60mph on a highway with other people?

Back in the day I worked with a guy that tbh I don't remember much about at all, not even his name, but I do remember he had the dumbest loving takes about cars. Now this was a solid 25 years ago, so he thought the pinnacle of vehicles was a fox body 5.0 Mustang, of which he was of the opinion, and I quote, "had handling second to none" which in reality was more like second to last. But I digress, as one day he posed the question that if you were driving an automatic and your brakes stopped working when you hit the brake pedal what should you do? I, and everyone else, said use the handbrake. Well apparently we were all wrong, as according to this guy the correct course of action was to slam the transmission into reverse.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Was pretty disappointed I didn't get to hear the transmission exploding tho It's a fluid coupling on an auto, would it even explode? Gonna go out on a limb and guess that the lockup clutch wouldn't be able to hold suddenly going into reverse and it would slip like crazy but do nothing but overheat that clutch, since they're basically only meant to lock up once the driveline is no longer catching up to engine speed in order to remove the power losses to the torque converter. It definitely wouldn't be happy though even if it did manage to make it into reverse somehow. E: Someone else tried it in a old as gently caress Chevy Prism and it stalled the engine. orange juche fucked around with this message at 06:46 on May 8, 2024 |

Step 1: Move the camera off that area Step 2: Your smoothbrain friend hits it with something Step 3: Move the camera back and then call Geico. Act very calm when you're just *now* noticing your screen broke while not backing up as you were attempting to total the car (so weird) they will def say "Wow, it must be so" thanks to your calm demeanor and give you a new car. Repeat this enough and you will be a youtube superstar/billionaire.

Just-In-Timeberlake posted:... I experienced total brake fade in my '65 Plymouth Fury going down a mountain in 1987, on a long straightaway that ended with a 180-degree hairpin turn, the outer side of which was a rock wall. I dropped it into 2nd at about 50-MPH+ To her credit, the Torqueflite held up & slowed the car enough that I'm still here. It required a rebuild within a year, though. I also replaced the brakes with larger units from a station wagon.

I had a friend in high school slam his camry into park at speed and boy did that make a noise. Car still drove after but I'm pretty sure the parking pawl snapped off. We were dumb high high school students and not an adult though.

I had a friend back in HS who's gf at the time did the same thing to his car while he was driving. it definitely snapped the pawl cause you could move it around in park afterwards. chrysler laser turbo, which we all thought was cool as hell at the time
