When it rains it pours. Should be, when it flames it scorches. So many unfortunate things happening all at once. Trying to stay positive. Wishing everybody a better 2025.

Yeah every car I’ve owned has had its quirks. Longer standard warranty across all manufacturers, government subsidized would be a nice start.

I just switched to owning a german for the first time and have to buy a lot of new tools

Unfortunately new cars are more difficult to repair than older cars. Community mechanic shops and education need to be more common.

If you woke up tomorrow and you were a t-rex you’d be in a zoo or something by noon

If your bank can only deposit a certain amount of a check the same day and you need it all just cash it and deposit the cash

Yup. Of course there are some risky fpv pilots but it’s always a DJI user, I won’t even call them pilot, that’s doing something stupid and/or dangerous and ends up on the news.

DJI pilots are either very skilled professionals or inconsiderate wannabe photographers. Freestyle quad pilots rule.

Tim Cook is really playing both sides of the fence here.

Hi again. I took the car back to the dealer to re-align and the wheel is still turned to the left a little when driving straight. The tech showed me the numbers and that they leveled the steering wheel.

Is something wrong with my suspension, or should I try alignment somewhere else? Just live with it?

EDIT: when I let the wheel go and I’m going straight on a stretch of road the wheel is off center by about 10 degrees.

EDIT EDIT: called the dealership and they said alignment doesn’t include resetting wheel sensor via obd tool. Crazy.

I’ve been to smaller shops, I’ve been to dealerships, and the only time I’ve ever gotten an alignment done right was after I complained to a general manager. I know alignments are hard with the laser machines. It shouldn’t be a problem, right? Are they just being lazy? I hate having to go back to the shop and wait another 2 to 4 hours to get something done that should’ve been done right the first time.

EDIT: I’ve had this happen with my 2001 QX4 4WD, 2019 Q50 2WD and now with 2019 Atlas AWD

 

I want to duplicate an ocarina and stick them together and move and connect the two ocarina’s together with a centralized mouthpiece. Can I pay somebody to make a file for me to print at home? Thanks!

2001 QX4

It has been 90+ degrees where I live and when idling for more than 10-15 min, the A/C stops blowing cold and is humid. Works great otherwise when ambient temps are low and car is moving. The Freon pressure is good. The Enser is old and has some dents, but has been cleaned and looks to be getting airflow. How can I tell what is wrong? Replace the radiator fan clutch? Condenser? Something else? Should also note that the engine temp gets high when on long stretches up uphill highway, but I think that is somewhat normal for an old car, no? Thanks!

 

Not talking about touching the little guys. Talking about something like limiting sales or buys to $1M per day to curb the leverage these big corps have on the market.

 

Big guys like Berkshire have so much leverage in the market. They can sell a huge chunk of stocks causing chaos and a huge drop in price, then buy low and profit. The stock market isn’t fair to regular investors. You’re at the mercy of these big firms.

The parts that aren’t free are kind of shiny and up close there are little black flecks like mold.

Thrips?

 

Rear LSD and open front. When I’m crossed up do I use 4hi or 4lo when trying to brake and gas at the same time? Or doesn’t matter?
