Because single items can fail on their own for a variety of reasons other than age?

this logic is sound, provided you don't live in the Rust Belt. in Wisconsin, we basically always do both sides.

and all the spokes still attached to the hub are different lengths

we could keep going, but it’s fake.

really I posted to chime in that I saw a virtually identical tire/rim, sheered off spokes and all, on the far LH side of the I-5 in San Diego the other day. I wondered how far it rolled for the tow truck/cops/car’s owner to have not taken it along with the rest of their (presumably) hosed car

This depends entirely on the car, and Subarus usually don't like it.

In my limited experience with this trick, it seems anything using an A/F sensor as the primary instead of a narrowband O2 pick up on it pretty quick; they either throw a code for the sensor, or the fuel trim gets thrown off.

doesn’t the downstream O2 sensor really just tell the ECU that there is a cat, and that it’s functioning? I was under the impression AFRs and trim are only controlled by pre-cat sensors...

Well that dude lived to 94, so clearly lead is super healthy.

I’ve never seen any photo or video of him without a stogie in his teeth either; maybe there’s some magic filtering properties to them?

I have definitely used spit on a soft fuel line to get it over the end of a flared pipe end on a cold day

It was my car, it was a piece of poo poo anyway and no one was watching.

there’s a NAPA product for this called Sylglide or Glidasil or something. it’s supposedly even safe for fuel lines. I have a tube of it in my lube box.

not sure when I last used it; I just spit on it

Guy in one of my Facebook groups just posted this. Never seen one before like this, I think from the milky fluid it probably is water contaminated and froze overnight and partially cracked it, then it popped from hydraulic pressure when he started it.



drat, how do you get this much water in a power-steering system? I have never seen one this bad

The diesel nozzle is bigger (there are actually two sizes*), but it'll still fit in the first few inches where the gas gap threads in. It is too big to open the rollover flap, though. So it would be extremely slow to fill a gas car with diesel. I doubt the post is real, but when people put diesel in a gas car, it must take them a really long time.

or you could just spit on it

Left handed lug nuts were an incredibly stupid idea that serves no purpose.
I know Dodge liked them in the ‘60s, too.

I was under the impression that until lugs were made rounded, with tons of surface area, left-side lugs on vehicles _had_ to be left-hand-thread, to keep the torque of the wheel from backing off the lugs, just like the left pedal (or right BB cup) on a bike. obviously rounded lugs have been around since before the 60s but perhaps it was a vestigial habit?
