I dunno if I buy that.. the numbers are a bit worn.. but the overall side of the tire is't overly scuffed.. maybe I need new glasses.

I really hope that this isn't a real thing and someone put up the site / product for the lulz. I can't imagine the first time someone actually buys it, uses it and gets hurt (Probably all the same instance). The Lawyers will be lining up to grab the last .10 that the creators own. Lets put a giant screw on a hub and hope people attaching logs to it actually split wood and don't die.

You'd think that they'd take some of the better parts like the wheels or.something, I imagine that the engine may be hard to take out.

I had this happen with my focus idle air recirc pump or whatever crap emissions garbage hose it was. After a while they got lovely and would collapse on themselves or crack. Because I live in a slightly less poo poo state I was able to replace with 6" of rubber hose instead of the $80 ford part that still would rot if used.

Fire Storm posted:THANK YOU for posting this phrase. This led me to websites that said replacing this might actually fix a longstanding idle problem I've been having. It's been a while since I had the focus but I seem to remember it was when the engine was cold it wouldn't run well, not when it was warm but who the gently caress knows with all the emissions garbage that they put on to reduce carbon emissions by .01lbs/year. If I recall I was required to heel toe in the winter not the summer. It's a bit bitch to get to without removing stuff but if you you can get to it it's super easy and can be fixed with like $3 of rubber hose and 15-20 min of swearing at the placement to fit it to the throttle body.

hey man, gotta keep the plugs out of the standing water on the floor somehow! That would just be unsafe. The picture of the sander reminded me of the post hole digger I rented with a sticky throttle cable.. it's really fun trying to stop a post hole digger stuck in the ground with no easy way to stop it.. Instead of stopping it myself I should have called them and told them to come down do it.. I did get a different one and the rental for free though.

How about horrible quality/specs failure. Had new brake pads that were so thick the bracket for the calipers didn't clear them. Yes the pistons were all the way back.

Sagebrush posted:No other damage -- that old Ford SPI 2000 was unkillable. Could have been far, far worse, apparently... Mine needed me to do a 3 pedal dance on the winter because the awful ford idle air tube was leaky. And at under 100k miles the exhaust manifold was leaking at the block which made the of sensor think it was misfiring. I'd call the engine and the car that it was attached to a mechanical failure. In under 10 years Fuel pump dead one morning Rear door opened one day while driving Front spring broke while driving (luckily I was doing like 5th slowing to a stop) Fan resistor died. Real wheel bearing went bad Most was luckily under tsb and recalls.

CharlesM posted:Was that in a Focus or an Escort? If the Escort, that's kinda sad, as the car it's based on, the BG Mazda Protege / Familia is a really solid car overall. Focus. I guess the engine was okay but I sold it at around 120k because I didn't want to deal with a dropped Valve or a preemptive head change. Ford did a great job making sure I didn't buy a Ford again. My 2 previous cars were older and had less issues. One died in an accident. And the other died due to salt in hindsight I should have just gotten the mazda's fuel and brake lines re-done.

Hard to tell from the pics.. Did it get hit right at the tire and then the shock tower bot bent and broke.. or Did the shock tower break and that caused the issue? From what I see it got hit at the tire which bent the tire.. Suspension / steering parts aren't meant to have something bounce off of it, I got hit directly at the rear tire in a car before and needed a whole new "axel" because the tire was no longer straight.. granted my suspension was still in place but that's because the chunk of metal the hub mounted to took all the force.

I always Crack the bleeder when I push the piston back in for pads. I then bleed a bit out and add fluid. Can't say I've ever done a full flush but my fluid has always looked pretty good coming out.

Fucknag posted:I read somewhere a while back that carbon fiber is especially nasty because, being carbon, it's organic, so your body doesn't necessarily recognize it as a foreign body (asbestos might share this property, or I could just be remembering wrong). Thus, it will happily go on punching holes in your lung cells and their DNA for the rest of your life. So all those "import tuners" who sand and buf their crap carbon fiber hoods and awful fitting body kits are going to die early.. YAY.. If they get a settlement I'll be mad.

Did grandma get charged at the scene did they draw blood did she admit she was on oxy? was there a police xar at the scene at some point? Usually for dui / dwi they drag your rear end to the station first thing.

nm posted:You move. That is what my grandparents did, they moved a few blocks from my parents to "active senior" apartment complex (until they got too far gone and went to a regular retirement place). Sometimes this doesn't work. My grandfather will not go into a senior apartment. My grandmother was about 6 years into alzheimers/dimentia before he started looking for a home. She was at the point where she was knocking on neighbors doors and telling them she was kidnapped and she didn't know who the strange man in her home was before he started looking for a place. My grandfather is of "sound" mind. (He once drove the same day he was asleep in his chair and woke up fighting pirates because of the oxy). and WON'T go into a sr. apartment, wont' call the cleaning crew my parents&aunt/uncle hired for him, still insists on living alone. Yesterday we visited, and he got up out of his chair to swat the dog becuase he was barking.. and took a fall. The man is 90+ and just had the medical equivalent of a concrete patch on his back the day before. Anyways back to mechanical failures instead of people failures free flashlight.. NO wonder he was getting a rattle and lights turning on every time he hit a bump. tater_salad fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Aug 31, 2014 |
