Dad had a early 90's GMC pickup with white paint. Exact same problem. I think the body shop told him it was a primer issue for a few years?

1. Know what you want to pay. 2. Be willing to walk. If you don't cover those two you're at a big disadvantage.

FogHelmut posted:I used to get a solid year from RainX weatherbeater. I bought some this year and didn't get 6 months out of them. More on this topic - I read somewhere (maybe on here?) that the reason the cheap ones typically work better are because they rotate stock in the store faster than the $40 Bosch ones and as such the rubber isn't as degraded/UV damaged/whatever. I've had okay success buying the cheapest tension blade ones (Trico, etc) and replacing them once they start chattering (every 6-12 months).

GENDERWEIRD GREEDO posted:This might be a massive case of confirmation bias but over the last few years I started to hear far fewer stories about people getting severely injured in car accidents and more about people just dying, meaning that you're either going to make it out of a wreck ok or it's going to be bad enough to kill you outright no matter what safety features are in there. I guess this is ideal? No lifetime of recovery/disability...

glynnenstein posted:Only older rear-only ABS increased stopping distances. Modern four-wheel ABS reduces braking distances on everything except gravel. Page 4: https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/811182 But that's compared to full lockup, right? I thought "perfect" threshold braking would be shorter than ABS distances.

Once he got the GoPro out didn't he say it actually never touched the bumpstops? So either the springs are so hard that it feels like full compression every cycle or he just has no idea what he's feeling/talking about. I assume the latter. If you can't feel the difference between stiff springs and a spring rate that goes to infinity, I'm not sure you should be making modifications to a vehicle...

Sagebrush posted:honestly i'm kinda tired of all the videos gushing over how fast electric cars can accelerate. we know, it's a characteristic of electric motors and tremendous weight, it's not news anymore. and on top of that it's a kinda useless trick. i guess it appeals to the onramp drag racers in palo alto? who cares Acceleration has been one of, if not the defining part of car culture and marketing for decades. This isn't just an EV thing? Plus they had to shed the granola hippie thing and what better way than crushing [insert hypercar here] in a drag race?

NoWake posted:Apparently, to at least one person out there, the Mustang II was just the epitome of mustang design language until the 5th gens came out. Gotta have those round headlights and a hood that scoops air into the gaping maw! To be fair if you wanted to show a Mustang design lineage that ends in the retro styled ones then leaving out the Fox/SN95 years would make it look more cohesive...

Large Testicles posted:i don't think i ever once bought anything from them but goddamn did i love perusing their catalog My brother bought one of those bazooka base tube things for his Grand Cherokee. Due to some crazy factory stereo setup it was drat near impossible to get it setup and someone from Crutchfield spent probably 4 hours on the phone with him sorting it out (including calling Chrysler if memory serves since this was too early for every wiring diagram to be available on the internet). Crutchfield rules.
