Why don't the poors simply buy more money?

My brother got a nasty wound & narrowly escaped severe tendon damage because of his boss not wanting to pay for repairs to machine guards, he had exactly the same reaction - "I like the guys that work there so I won't report it"

Wtf?

I think the reasoning behind that is if the shop isn't doing well (hence the penny-pinching) getting a government agency to come in and fine you over safety violations could very well bankrupt the company and put his friends out of a job.

Something similar happened with a friend of mine who called in a payroll audit on the company he worked for (contractors, electricians mostly). Company was so bad on the books it had to pay out each employee for missed O/T and other things. To do so the owner had to sell most the company vans and heavy equipment which pretty much ended the company.

These runaway diesel videos are amazing. Would you hang onto this thing as long as the bearded dude did?

On the way back to my house my 'new used' motorcycle started cutting out, and I noticed the temp gauge buried on 'cold'

I stopped and looked over my bike, its radiator had sprung a link up front. Huh, why the hell would that happen.



Well what the heck is that thing bottom of the fan shroud....



OH! :stare: It is the fan.

No poo poo I just spent my long weekend working on my mate's CX400. I knew we should've taken the radiator off and had a look.

This is off a 80 CX500D, had quite a few miles on it, don't imagine it would be a supper common thing.

On a side note, to simply remove the radiator cap you basically have to unbolt everything from the radiator except the hoses :wtc: Honda

Well, when a car is still burning oil and 75/90 WT gear oil just isn't cutting it...
