Here. I’ll help everyone out....because I love you

This tip is perfect for people that really do not care what their car looks like. If you DO care, do not ever do this. Even on a perfectly clean car, using something like a slightly rough bath towel will put scratches in the finish.

Wonder if the cluster itself (behind the tinted cover) is modular and that particular module could be used in other builds?

MAKE DROP-IN “CRATE MOTOR” KITS. I’ve been saying this since Tesla was just vaporware. If someone, like Tesla, were to come up with a $10-15k kit that would let me install a dual-motor/battery pack into my 95 caprice wagon - enabling sub 4 second 0-60's on e-power, I’d buy it before lunch today.

Once gearheads are…

The paint “appears to pop” because the car is wet. 

“Jesus Christ. Why haven’t (insert race here) died off yet?”
That’s a bad look. Hope your employer never sees your post.

The fact it had an import starter sound dubbed in really pissed me off. 

When someone shows you what they’re made of - don’t argue. 

I have always aspired to own a Ferrari one day. I attribute this to Magnum P.I. in my pre-teen years. The 456 GT is a beautiful car - this one is a NP all day. I’d destroy the value of the car by driving the absolute shit out of it and maintaining it myself, but I’d have fun doing it.

The fact that people buy these…

Does this include people driving recklessly to do car-related videos, without taking the necessary precautions like closing the street and getting permits? Videos that are routinely featured on websites like Jalopnik? Videos like....say.... the ones from the Smoking Tire and Matt Farah?

Just trying to figure out where…

Cool car and a technological marvel. It’s also violently ugly.

If the Panamera has the factory air-suspension each strut is $3k+. Just the part. Changing the part out can be done in an hour a corner, so ah... yeah. On the flipside, what usually fails in the strut are the two o-ring seals at the top and bottom of the airbag. The seals are like $15 each, and the parts necessary to…

Rear brake job on my Panamera: $1250 at the shop. In my garage? $212

People forget that buying a used $100k+ car for $30k doesn’t mean the cost of maintenance, parts and labor also suffered a depreciation hit. I see a LOT of Panameras in particular rolling around on the bumpstops because the car was cheap but the new owners can’t afford the maintenance.

Having owned about a dozen…

Land Rovers are British - not German.

Lots and lots of missing info here. Most importantly, when doing a remediation and using a fan, you can easily cause a fatal increase in carbon dioxide gas in the home. If there are any gas appliances (hot water heater, stove, furnace...) on the same floor as the radon fan, make sure you’re not creating enough…

I am an ectomorph. I started lifting a year ago, right before covid. Throughout covid, I hit the machines 3-4x a week for a HIT 30 minutes, and ran a 5k on my off days. I quickly plateaued and was not seeing any gains in mass or strength whatsoever, despite eating well and working out. This kept up for about 4…

Holy crap - nice price all day long. I sold my mint condition 93 240 for $6k and that was with 189k on it. Shop around for RUST FREE 240 wagons and then come back here and argue about “no dice”. You could make a grand on this thing by dinnertime tomorrow. 

No, not “generally”. Nowadays, there’s no telling where it is...On the backside of the engine against the firewall. Or on the backside of a head. Or hanging around somewhere else encased in a plastic canister because the entire system is electric. Or inside the engine itself behind the timing chain. The thermostat is…

Yeah no. A thermostat repair is not something the average DIY’er can - or should - be doing on any car made after 1990. Failure to do it exactly correct, and there are about 659 more steps than she mentioned, will destroy the engine. Some t-stat replacements require removing the timing cover and timing belt. Some…
