Breast Pussy posted:Even if your car is running fine you still check the fluids every now and then right? Somebody should be checking the UPSs every once in a while too. No need to live with the server. Usually this stuff can be monitored remotely, or locally via USB or serial interfaces, but I assume that they didn't bother hooking any of that crap up, and unless you're in there long enough to get an audible warning, or just happen to check it, you'd never know. Yeah, it was bad management, but it likely wasn't intentional.

Ya know, Meatpimp, it's time for you to graduate above Ad Hominem.. It's kind of hard to tell sometimes if Motronic is serious, but most of the time he is giving useful information so it really tips the scales. It's universally accepted that many filters are crap, and the fact that WIX does do many OEM filters for turbocharged European vehicles makes me believe they're at least trustworthy enough through the warranty period. Just because FRAM (and Pennzoil) is chosen at Wal-Mart and JiffyLube doesn't make it worthwhile.. but hey, you saved $20 over buying something better, right?

By the time they go over 'middle', your head is (likely) already warped. They work real well for finding stuck-open thermostats, though.

Slavvy posted:Toyota yaris/vitz had a safety recall out for the seatbelt pretensioner setting fire to the sound deadening foam at the bottom of the B pillar in a crash. The fix was to just take the foam out and throw it away. The last-before-final generation Saab 95 had plastic covers on the A pillars that could hurt in the event of an accident. They replaced them with headliner material covered pillars.

Kugyou no Tenshi posted:I take it you've never been cut off by a semi, then? Had one simply decide it was coming into my lane, no signal, and I had to slow down to dot get sideswiped by the trailer. The only thing that saved my rear end is that there was no one behind me, considering I had to go from 10 over to 10 under in the fast lane with literally ZERO warning. I had this happen once on a really ugly road and ended up having to make a third lane out of two. Turbo kicked in and I got the gently caress around, and didn't really get the adrenaline fail until after I got home nearly an hour later. Most truckers are fairly sane (excepting Walmart branded tractors).
