I had an interesting argument with my boss today. He claims that GM's 3800 series engine is overall more reliable than the AMC 4.0 used in Cherokees and Wranglers. Numbers for 'reliability' are difficult to find for something like that but he did work for years designing pistons and testing engines, including for the 3800.

Is there any data to support either argument that isn't in some proprietary archives or something?

Cripes, I can't even tell what kind of car that really smashed up one is.

Think it's safe to assume the fatality was in that one.
e: well gently caress, what's left of her is visible briefly

I'll admit I was watching for a body, but I didn't see anything that was identifiable as a body, unless that weird shape in the backseat-ish area of the car was her.

edit: Must be, I think I can see a hand and a belt and a neck. No, uh, nothing above the neck though.

He apparently has a pretty colorful criminal history.


Yuuuup.

Several of the comments mention the same thing and even where to look.

Dude it really loving bothers me that one minute that's a person, somebody with family, ambitions, needs...and literally a few frames later it's a chunk of meat.

Life and death are loving weird.

Hey Rhyno, you used to work in a nerd store, any experience with bulk MTG cards? I have +10k I'm looking to offload, but the idea of individually cataloging, selling, and shipping that many makes me want to dump that responsibility onto someone else. Obviously I'd individually sell the rare and valuable ones, but any thoughts on what to do with the rest of the things?

cardkingdom buys cards in bulk. Not sure how their price would compare to selling them on craigslist, but its probably pretty comparable to selling them at a store.

Got anything good? I play and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I finally got around to changing the fuel filter in the Avalon. The fuel line nut was extremely tight and I wasn't able to get it to break loose from the top last year. I tried again today and couldn't get enough leverage to break it from the top, but I was able to get it from below. Yay.

It immediately ran better and it was easy to tell the trim/ignition map was way off. A couple drive cycles and it is running so much better, it's amazing. Who would have thought that a fuel filter would need to be changed after 20 years and 166k miles. :D

Man that reminds me, I gotta replace the Volvo's fuel filter. I bought the part, I think, eight years ago and have just been too lazy to put it on.
