Someone Came With A Car And This Was In The Trunk. He Said We Can Keep Everything From Inside The Car. I'm Definitely Keeping It
OneWithRatsAndKefir 1 year ago
Hopefully, it was a case of ‘it was cold, and the car was warm so the kitten snuck in’… but it’s more likely the man was looking to get rid of the kitten. At the very least, he didn’t abandon the dear on the side of the road.

An opossum gave birth under our house for 3-4 years. On the final entrance, she died. We could tell pretty quickly. We hired a guy for $100 to get the animal out and take it to the dump. We could hear him dry-heaving and gagging, so he earned every cent. I was happy I was disabled and couldn't do it myself, lol.

Heap of s**t then, heap of s**t now ..... I had one, so I know this .....
The truth is, normal wear and tear can (and will), over time break something in your car. After all, even home appliances under normal use break down and your blender doesn’t spend hours flying down a highway. This is why, as with one’s health, preemptive and preventive measures are often smart then explicitly waiting for something to break.
As they are the main point of contact with the road, naturally, the tires tend to be the first to go. If you live in a place with a lot of ice and snow in winter, you have the wonderful opportunity every year to pay to get winter tires installed.

On the flipside, this does mean that an expert gives your tires a once over at least yearly, so you have someone to tell you it’s time for a new set. That being said, like anything car related, it gets expensive so most people prefer to wait way too long, as the examples here show. Once you add on the fact that some mechanics will take you for a ride, people’s anxiety becomes a bit more understandable.

As with anything else, the main moving parts are the first to go. This is why some car experts believe that getting your transmission and batteries checked is a good idea from time to time. On the other hand, again like when one visits a doctor, it’s best to not lie to the person who is going to be doing the fixing, otherwise you’ll end up with the main issues overlooked.

That is what I would want my engine to look like. Not my ex though. He could change a tire. However knew nothing else. Drove cars till they were dead. No oil changes. Never mind other fluids.

This isn’t just to ensure that the cars roaring down the highway are safe (although that is a big part of it), but also to ensure that when repairs are done, they are conducted in an environmentally friendly way. If you are in the US, the EPA provides courses and certifications for car repair specialists to that effect.

For quite some time, my Dad had what I would refer to as a "tool addiction." He does build custom homes and requires quality tools for such, understandable. Before he sold his house, if you were 'lucky' enough to be shown his workshop in the garage, and saw all his tools, one would think he was mechanic. He could do the basics and probably a little more, with the help of YouTube, but no where close to a mechanic. He would always tell me anytime he used any of the tools he had, not typical to his workday. "See if I didn't have that particular tool, I couldn't have done this." It was funny, at times, plus I also have the cutest, yes cutest Snap On mini toolbox in blue. It's currently being used as a jewelry box. It's a genuine Snap On my Dad ordered, but it never got delivered. The seller sent out another to replace it. About a month later, original shows up and seller said to keep it. Sometimes I tell my car buddies that I too have a Snap On tool box, which is 100% fact. 🤣

With all of the old-car nostalgia ... "They don't build them like they used to" and all that ... actually cars are much better built now. When I was a child (I was six in 1960) it really WAS incredible for a car to reach 100,000 miles. Most cars rarely reached 80,000 miles - they were junk at that mileage. The average person bought a new car every three years, with three year's financing.

I truly believe that the timing chains were programmed to fail at the 60k mark, particularly in Pontiacs. Back in those days the motors were unique to the brand and Pontiacs were notorious for requiring timing chain, gear and sprocket at the 60k mark. Once those were changed, the motors would run for a very long time, typically out lasting the transmission.

My Mechanic Just Sent Me The Picture Of My Tire
Geoffrey Scott 1 year ago
Embarrassed to admit...was going on a trip and had the car up to rotate tires which I hadn't done for a while. Lugs off, reach back to pull tire off disc...lacerate my hand on steel belt. Tire looked just like that. So...$450 repair on ball joints(x4) + $600 for tires.

This can happen very quickly if your alignment is off. I bought $850 snow tires for my car in November and by January one tire was so badly worn I had to get 4 new tires because my car is AWD.
Idgafwyt AllDat'N'ABagOfChips 1 year ago
I know from having owned AWD vehicles that yes, all 4 tires should be the same. But in your case if you just bought these tires a couple months prior and only one is worn out badly, couldn't you just buy the same tire again, but only replace the one that needed it?? So if you got a flat tire, would you go out and buy 4 new ones to replace the 1 flat? Maybe I misunderstood your comment? Lol

This looks like it could be inside a USPS mail truck. I was rural carrier and unfortunately have driven too many of those shìt boxes on wheels. I was born in the mid 80s and some of the trucks I drove were made in the early 90's, they had so many issues constantly. I drove one in particular that had a note similar to this one, except that it wouldn't always stay in park after putting it in park. I think many trucks have had similar issues and it's part of the reason they taught us to ALWAYS turn your wheel, usually towards the right, everytime you parked, regardless of there being a hill or not. Every single truck had multiple issues but yet they keep dumping $ in to temporarily "fix" them. 🤦♀️

My Friend Traded A Dirt Bike For This Limo. Tuesday He Goes To Get His Chauffeur's License. This Surely Can't Turn Out Well

nah, its on 4 seperate lifts. For long vehicles you use these as they lift the wheels and not the body/chassis. when the long vehicle lifts aren't in use they can be wheeled into a corner as the bottom are like pallet trucks/hand lifts. the lifts are linked wirelessly so they lift at the same rate. probably used more on light otr trucks and small flat bed pick ups as they dont work on normal lifts due to the centre of balance being off

I don't understand why people comment negative things about this. The guy obviously was about to replace his tires, so before coming in to the shop he did a burn-out. As long as he did not do it where he would inconvenience people, that is totally OK. I imagine before the burn out the tires were OK but just needed to be changed without being "slick". That car does not look like it's driver would use it with worn out tires.

You know ... a bit of tech. Making an engine be silent either increases flow resistance, or takes some volume and weight. On a very lightweight motorcycle, I can somewhat understand that silence can't be the priority, because weight just sucks. A motorcycle that is heavy, is no fun to ride, and when you're fighting for every gram to remove, it may result in a few dB more ... but on a car, even an extreme light one, that weight doesn't really matter, and how you employ the machine also influences how much noise it creates. Cars have no excuse, motorcycles only a very limited bit. Purposefully making it louder, rather than accepting it as a side effect, is just stupid, and ... well, see above. Still have an electric starter, a battery, then don't expect mercy. Also, illegally loud vehicles that can't outrun police are expensive AF!

Snap-on torque wrenches. You can adjust the amount of torque on them so they tighten to a specific tightness. That's what the calibration refers to. It means they can't trust them to tighten to *exactly* the right amount any more. But the average person would love them (they are super expensive).

Is there no legal requirement for your car to be checked every year to make sure it's safe to drive in the US? In the UK all cars over three years old have to have an annual MOT and if it's not safe to drive you have to get it fixed in order to continue driving it, if you don't then you're driving it illegally which will also invalidate your insurance. The only time you can legally drive a car that failed it's MOT is to and from the mechanic to get it repaired. Some of these pictures show damage that has accumulated over years so I'm just curious.
