JaysonAych posted:I was going around the east side of Cincinnati on 275 about 5 or so years ago, and there was a 1st-gen Stratus ahead of me with a smashed-up front end, but had a new color-mismatched hood badly tied to the roof for future replacement. Several seconds after passing him, I look in my mirror to see the ropes come loose, and the hood loving sail 15 feet in the air above him, arcing gracefully backwards before slamming down on the highway as traffic scattered all over the place. It was amazing that no one crashed. Replace "bumber" with "box spring" and I've seen this more than once on the US60 and I-10. Also, one couch that nearly killed me.

Safety Dance posted:There should be a service called "My Friend Who's Good With Cars," where, for like $20 a month, a car-knowledgeable person will come by once a quarter and take 'er for a spin, perform a basic inspection, provide recommendations and note the mileage. They'll call you up and remind you about oil changes, and you can call them up and ask even the most retarded car-related question and receive an honest answer with no judgement. gently caress this poo poo forever because it's basically the only reason people ever get ahold of me on Facebook any more. "Hey my car is doing X. What do I do?" "Oh I recommend doing F, L and G. Check S while you're at it." /ignores advice forever. I recently had a friend completely ruin a late model Malibu by running with a blown lower intake manifold gasket for years. I told him what the problem was, my cost to fix it (half of his quoted shop labor price plus I'd let him use my parts discounts) and my availability. Nope. Imma just drop gallons worth of Stop Leak into it until magically gets better. The other week my boss took me to lunch and I noticed her car cranking a touch slow. I recommend she have the battery tested/replaced. Nope. Cue 3 days later when I'm driving her to a parts store for a new battery and missing some meetings. People treat cars like poo poo and it's eerily familiar to how less technically inclined family members treat their children/siblings/etc if they have any idea how a computer works. 8 million problems that were easily solved early on but at this point have festered into a cancerous poo poo demon that isn't worth the time, money or stress to help them fix. My default answer to car/computer questions these days is basically "hosed if I know, call an expert. i'm just a nerd / shade tree mechanic that drinks to much".

Not the greatest of angles for an oil return line so he's going to get buildup after awhile and it will eventually stop draining out of the CHRA. I'm hoping at very least he gets some clamps on there though.

(Phoenix goons: I avoid the 17 like the plague, is there even an inside breakdown lane there?) I-17 inside the 101 is loving terrifying and no, there really isn't a breakdown lane on it. Just a shoulder barely wide enough to fit a Miata into.

Yeah, there's sections of I-17 that are walled off like that too. Add in its incredibly narrow lanes and it's enough to make me say nope nope nope. It was built in the 70's and it really hasn't been touched since. I can't imagine Detroit 70's sleds on that freeway doing 50+ on it.  I'll take surface streets for 20+ miles before I use that death trap. Maker Of Shoes fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Jan 18, 2013 |
