Saw this on the way home from work yesterday. I didn't see whats on top, but at the bottom, as you can see, he had a horizontal piece tying in to the vertical ones, so its totally legit.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:I would think getting washer fluid into the coolant wouldn't be much of a big deal unless it was a large amount, and even then it'd be more because alcohol and water don't lubricate the water pump as well as a regular 50/50 coolant mix (also a lower boiling point). My parents had this old beater-rear end van (88 GMC Safari, 4.3l) that my parents let (mostly) me and my brother drive with a blown head gasket, or maybe a cracked head. Went through coolant like you wouldn't believe, but it was winter, so we couldn't just dump a bunch of water in it. So gently caress it, we dumped washer fluid in there..... Its good to -40. Coolant was expensive as gently caress when you made 6.95/hr.

Can they just not take the leaders of the flat earth movement to space and show them that the earth is round? Then they can tell their minions that they were wrong? Or maybe the minions will just think that their leaders have been brainwashed by the NFWO. It might actually make some sort of economic sense..... They'll get jobs and not bore people in to workman's comp with all their theories or something. Or they could just take a trip to Australia and make a phone call back here and ask whoever answers the phone if its dark here during daylight hours there?

I had something similar happen to me when I was towing a trailer (~8000lbs) with an f350 diesel minus the actual crash part. It was slippery (winter) and I was getting on the highway, I hit the floor with the gas and the back end came loose. The truck we normally pulled that trailer with, was...... under powered to say the least, as in you had to keep it floored just to keep up with traffic on the highway. So, thats what I was used to doing. Trailer swerved side to side as a result, and i used a combination of actuating the trailer brakes with the slidy thing on the brake controller and letting off the gas on the truck. Right thing to do or just lucky?

Colostomy Bag posted:You did good. You shifted the weight. Probably a lot. That trailer only had brakes on the front axle for the longest time. I had a hard time trying to convince my boss to get them on the rear axle as well. We'd get the annual safety done and the brakes would seem to work for a week after that, before they felt like they became nonexistent. Then it became pray nothing happened till the next safety came around, for a week or so of relief. Once we got brakes put on the rear axle it was WAAAAYY less terrifying to drive that poo poo. Not to mention I was constantly sliding the slider over to make sure that they did work, because I had them crap out on me countless times over the years that we had that truck/trailer combo. Usually at the worst times, like coming off the highway in winter.

I've heard various vehicles with flat engines, old VWs, Porsches, Subarus and...... well thats probably all of them. I think the ones with loud exhausts sound awful. Yes, I said it, they sound awful. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL!!!\ Like they're misfiring on half their cylinders.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:I gotta say, I dig the XactAir machines that have been popping up. Yeah, it's $1.50, but that gets you 5 minutes, and you set the pressure you want. Unless all 4 tires are pretty much flat, that's enough time for you to air them up. If they're overinflated, it'll release air until it's at the pressure you set (defaults to 32 PSI). Once you hit the right pressure, the machine starts beeping loudly to let you know. They had those around my area for a while at a local chain of gas stations. I don't know if they were the exact (HURR!!) same brand, but they were out of order at least half the time. Pissed me off because I loved those fuckers. Now they have the regular old ones that were fine until I got a taste of the gourmet poo poo. No longer do I look forward to making sure my tires are filled properly.

Some people will probably bitch at me about this, but gently caress it. My opinion on some terrible car poo poo. People who have only one vehicle and refer to their vehicle as "the (something)". My boss has had about 5 cars since I've worked for him, but not until he got his first Prius (smashed that one up, got another) did he refer to his vehicle as "the anything". Now its ALWAYS "the Prius". Guy at work has a jeep, "the Jeep". Another guy had a beetle. It was always "my car" until his future inlaws gave him their 10+ year old rusty, beat rear end entry level Mercedes something or other, and then it was "the BENZ" or "the MERCEDES". Another friend, and its "the Grand Am" and so on. Disagree with me if you like, but I hate that poo poo.

Memento posted:Exactly that. Whenever you rent one of these to go into, say, a cane sugar crop, you want to know that the vehicle you're driving isn't festooned with downy mildew, even if it was visiting an infected crop two days earlier. Got ya. We had to do the same with a couple of our machines on a pipeline job, and working in environmentally sensitive areas. Had to pressure wash the motherfuck out of them, and then spray with a diluted bleach solution.

Goober Peas posted:Why is it that it's always a Honda or Toyota that is driving at night with no lights? I kept blinking my lights at the guy in front of me last night, no lights in a black 4Runner. He didn't see the cop behind me. After a few redlights, I pulled to the curb and let the cop flash some lights. Cop rolled down his window and said he'd handle it from here. I see it with Nissans, Mazdas Hyundai, Kia, some jeeps etc.... My car ('09 Corolla) has auto headlights. Full system comes on once it gets to be a certain...... darkness? When its already dark, as soon as I take off the parking brake. It doesn't shut off again until I turn off the engine. I still use the loving switch because I'm not an idiot. Or maybe because I am, not sure.

My parent's 84 Caprice station wagon had the same tailgate as the "innovative" Honda ridgeline tailgate. I can see its purpose though. Drop it like a tail gate for long poo poo, tailgate parties, etc, or open it like a normal door so that we could pile in the very back seat. But this? Or the one on the ridgeline for that matter?

Maybe its harder to turn an engine backwards? = Less chance of rolling if the parking brake fails and the engine is so worn that compression is minim....... gently caress I don't know, thats just what I've read/been told.
