I saw a car in the parking lot with one of the five wheels lugs missing. Is that as much of a death trap as I think it is?

Rear wheel on a volvo xc90 in the unlikely event it matters.

Got new rotors/pads put my car. Noticed that there seemed to be some noise rolling, but stupidly did not turn around. Parked my car at work, and I smell burnt brake, and the left front wheel area is scorching hot. How loving bad is my mechanic?

I will have about 40 miles on this before I get it back in the shop. Any chance my new rotor or pad will be hosed?

Twerk from Home posted:

4x4 minivans aren't really a thing other than the recent, expensive AWD Toyota Sienna or the old as gently caress Toyota Previa.

4x4 trucks and SUVs either get awful fuel economy, or are expensive because they're new-ish.
Sienna has been offered in AWD continuously since at least 2004, per a quick scan of cargurus.

What do I do about weather stripping or whatever this is falling off of windows? Car is a 2007-ish lexus gx.

Is there some good article/story on how 1.5L engines in the mid-80s made like 1200 horsepower in race form?

Ford retractable running board question (2018 expedition) - how do I get them to work?

Youtube videos seem to suggest just hosing the poo poo out of the joints with a PB blaster or equivalent, then WD-40 or equivalent, then finish with a spray lubricant. Is that basically it? Is there a secret?

Are there any recent year supercars that include a roof scoop? I saw one today and holy poo poo was it amazing looking.
