The Chrysler 2.7 is pretty notorious for timing chain tensioner failures, but I thought all the ones prone to it were already dead. Guess there's still a few holdouts.

It's a love affair. Mainly jebus, and my racecar.

"Diag"? As in, "can you please figure out why my car won't start"?

Every 2.7 I have ever driven behind has smelled of burning coolant from a bad headgasket. They are shitboxes that should have never been designed.

Two years ago this girl I was going to school with was in the market for a new vehicle. "I have $5,000 and I want to get a Wrangler." Since I live 5 minutes from her I told her I'd go car shopping with her. The next week she comes in and says she just bought a 2002 Sebring Vert for $5,000. I face-palmed myself so hard I was in a coma for a week.

A basic superbike motor build will make over 200whp... and I guarantee you all the club racers aren't changing chains every race. poo poo, the ZX10 and S1000RR will make 200whp with a tune/full exhaust.

NZ Herald posted:

The driver of a transporter truck which slammed into an overbridge in Oamaru may yet face charges in relation to the crash.

Two cars, one a black Audi, were shunted off the back of the double-decker truck and another was badly damaged when truck hit the rail bridge on the Humber St bridge about 12.30pm today.

"He just got it wrong,'' Oamaru Constable Dean Paterson said.

"He's made a mistake with his height and the clearance of the bridge.''

The rail bridge allows vehicles up to 3.5 metres tall to pass under it. Mr Paterson estimated the truck and its load would have been about 4 metres high.

Enquiries into the accident were continuing and a decision over whether to prosecute the driver would be made at a later date, he said.

The truck, owned by New Zealand Vehicle Deliveries Transport Ltd (NZVD), had minor damage to its trailer.

The bridge was inspected by KiwiRail structural inspectors from Dunedin but appeared to be unscathed.

The three damaged vehicles and two others were cleared by 1.30pm with help from the New Zealand Fire Service and a forklift driver from a nearby business, Mr Paterson said.

PTS Logistics, NZVD's parent company, declined to comment on the crash last night.

I'm not sure if it's the NZ media or just the herald but they have a really weird thing about reporting on mishaps to nice cars and houses. Throwing the word luxury in front of something, even if it's a 15 year old 3 series, seems to make it newsworthy.
