funeral home DJ posted:Isn’t welding two chassis together no bueno in terms of crashes and general metal fatigue? I’m no engineer but I thought it caused the metal around the welds to become more brittle and more likely to break where you’d normally want some tough-as-hell metal. How do you think limousines are made

Once I started torquing them myself to specs, shockingly they're always easy to take off and never come loose by themselves. Interesting.

Humphreys posted:I always find 3 corners are fine but it's always the last one that something fucky occurs. Not just brakes, anything that requires 4 tasks. I replaced my puddle lights with some branded script ones. Now directions state you're supposed to remove the door card, but everything I read online said you can just pop them out and replace them. And they were right! Well, for 3/4 of them the were super easy to install, as there was enough extra slack in the wiring to allow me to do it. However that 4th one, there was not 1 micrometer of slack available to do it that way, the Italian who put that door together must have gotten an espresso bonus for not wasting wiring. I have yet to pop that door card out and replace that one puddle light, fortunately it's one of the rear doors. ryanrs posted:I thought that's why floor jacks have removable handles.

weirdly chilly pussy posted:Inhaling brake dust is a bad idea, asbestos or not. Or rather, any kind of dust will gently caress up your lungs given enough exposure. yeah brake dust and tire particulates are a serious health issue, especially in lower income neighborhoods where major arterial roads just happen to run through. But hey, I'm sure building more EVs will solve this somehow.

Disgruntled Bovine posted:In 1959 a coal company in Pennsylvania delved too greedily and too shallow under the Susquehanna river. The river broke through into the mine and it took 3 days of dumping poo poo into the whirlpool before they could stop the flow, by which time a enormous number of interconnected mines in the valley had flooded. They resorted to dumping railroad hopper cars into the hole to try to give all the rock they were pouring in something to catch on. do you want Balrogs? Because this is how you get Balrogs.

Uthor posted:I once hit a big bug with my helmet at 60 mph and it was enough to rock my head back (and I had to stop and clean off the splatter). Seeing anything bigger than bug hit a helmet freaks me out. Any sunglasses are more than adequate when biking, though ones designed with cycling in mind will give you more edge/wraparound protection than just some Ray Bans. I've been hit in the face by large bugs at speed and the ones that have hit me on the cheek have hurt like hell, but have bounced harmlessly off my glasses.

Olympic Mathlete posted:^ bikes are so much better than cars for just outright exhilaration. Death a mere heartbeat away certainly makes you feel alive. As I get older my cars get smaller and more fun and then I come to the realisation that bikes were what I was looking for after all. Wish I'd gotten into them decades ago tbh. My Giulia has this and it may be the only thing about it that I hate. The directions are essentially the same, but they're also essentially bullshit. If you go online to see if there's a way to get a more accurate reading you'll find the solutions to be a step away from voodoo magic, best get your chicken guts out.

Sagebrush posted:This is what happens when car companies don't hire anybody who knows anything about human factors. lol, I got my oil changed and like 2 weeks later I was parked on steep hill and when I started the car the warning came on that the oil level was too high. Now I figure it was just because of it being parked on that steep angle, and normally a quick look at the dipstick on a level surface would confirm or deny that, but lol good luck. Ended up just having the shop drain 1/2qt and it's been fine since, though they had a bitch of a time getting the reading as well lol.

dissss posted:Also why are modern districts so lovely and difficult to read? Older cars had clear markings and a nice cross-hatched area to grab the oil, whereas my newer Hyundai has slick surface with two tiny dots - when the oil is somewhat fresh it's very difficult to judge the level. lol, I swear, the distance between the min and max lines on one of my coolant reservoirs is like a centimeter apart, with markings barely distinguishable from the tank material.

My car is every 10k or 12 months, whichever comes first, provided you drive it in a, say, "relaxed" manner. If you drive it the way it's meant to be driven, you will get a notification to change the oil at an earlier interval.
