Awesome house if you hate functionality and like houses that break a lot. It's fitting that it was posted in this thread.

bidikyoopi posted:Haha, I know that spiteful driver, but I'm talking about the douches that pull fully into the oncoming lane when making a left turn. If someone lost their brakes or wasn't paying attention, they would go right into the driver's side door. And yeah, don't be a pushover, but you don't want to be that guy that's so afraid of getting traffic-goosed that they drive like a straight-up retard. You really can't turn left anywhere without a signal inside of 128 without doing that though.

Sagebrush posted:i had the opposite experience. i went and drove my car for the first time in 2 weeks today and everyone else who was out was creeping along at like 12 mph In town here is super slow, but that's because lots of people are walking / biking / running in the shoulders of residential streets to maintain distance. People see pretty chill overall. Biek guys out in force. I haven't driven too far on the freeway so I don't know how that's looking but I assume people are drivin real fast because they already drive pretty fast here in Michigan.

Deteriorata posted:There wasn't any real advantage to it with body-on-frame construction. Early versions like Cord's were complicated and unreliable. yes, aren't you agreeing with me here? FWD was seen as exotic and high tech so it made sense to roll the dice with one of the stablemates

Memento posted:The driver has to countersteer constantly to keep it in the same lane. this isn't necessarily true - the front and rear axles can be parallel without the body being true to those parallel lines - the car at that point is essentially a parallelogram.

sorry, i meant that really more specifically in reference to crabbing vehicles. they are almost always older BOF vehicles that are usually owned by less affluent people. you're absolutely right that people put up with all kinds of stuff. hell my wife will only occasionally tell me if the car is doing something strange.

that's one of the problems with the giant wheels every OEM insists on putting on cars and CUVs. i'm glad the alltrack only takes 16" tires.

Darchangel posted:That reminds me that I had a pothole bite one of the 18s (245/45, IIRC) on my CV a couple years ago. Thankfully didn't hurt the wheel. I found out that although it's still possible to get a Style 65 wheel from BMW but at minimum it costs $500. I killed the gently caress outta that wheel.

Darchangel posted:Well, yes, but it seems like maybe one should pay attention to the multi-thousands or ten-thousands machine that makes it possible for one to do stuff like go to work and pay for the aforementioned machine, plus rent/mortgage, food, and other little details. I mean, if you need it for that. Some parts of the world have a reasonable mass transit system. poo poo one would think that it might be beneficial to know how to cook, or to fix any number of things in your house, or adhere to a budget, or responsibly save money, or whatever, and you'd be right - but millions of people don't know how to do that poo poo.

Darchangel posted:Almost like stuff like that should be taught in primary education. It sort of was when I was in junior- and high school. I took “Recordkeeping” which taught me how to make a budget, balance a checkbook, and other financial record-keeping stuff. “Keyboarding” (typing class, but on computers, because they were still sorta new in the ‘80s, yes, I’m old), home-ec, and such. We also still had a voc-ed program. I took metal shop, but wood shop and the mechanics shop would have been useful, too. There's plenty of people older than me (or you) that don't know gently caress about this stuff either despite having been nominally taught it in school. I agree with you that we should definitely encourage some practical programs, and vocational programs are really good. I took some auto shop and mechanical drafting and stuff like that, it was pretty awesome despite me being a "traditionally sucessful" AP class student.

Sagebrush posted:I'd expect that unless the jackstands are clearly stamped MADE IN USA OUT OF BATTLESHIP STEEL they all come from the same three factories regardless of the manufacturer, and are all equally susceptible to the same types of manufacturing error. The fact that one model number hasn't been recalled doesn't necessarily mean that it hasn't got any hidden problems. I think the manufacturing error was in the ratchet/pawl mechanism, so therefore just buy ones with pins.
