clearly a code brown

Bystander effect. He could have been stabbing somebody instead of stealing the car, and 90% of people wouldn’t try to intervene.

My viewpoint: Fuck Clark for acting guilty. Cops show up, and instead of dropping whatever was in his hands and complying (which would end in the mistake sorted out) he turns and runs, implying guilt? It sucks he was stupid, it sucks the cops were trigger happy, but i don’t blame them in a spit second decision that…

Mechanics have a saying about GM’s... They will run longer badly, than most cars run.

Has anyone accidentally loosened the crank bolt on a ford/mazda 2.3? I was installing a replacement longblock for a friend, and discovered (thankfully during disassembly of the old engine, so no harm no foul) that the crank pulley and crank timing chain gear are not key’d to the crank, but fully float on a smooth…

indeed, i just recently learned about tony, great subtle dry humor and intelligent hand-worker

Good job spreading the word, AVE is awesome, all jalopners should be sub’d to him

Sorry to jump on the hate bandwagon but...

I use to mention the McD’s coffee as frivolous too until I heard all the facts (esp how they originally only asked for medical bill coverage):

You’ve got me interested in this, i’ll try this on a variety of cars over the next week and reply with what cars do what :)

My only thought was “hey, cool he’s in Tampa near me”

I did give him a pretty hard rashing about it lol

I had to fix my brother-in-laws engine that seemed to race whenever he hit the brakes. It happened to him for about a week, and he said he nearly rearended someone on the way to my shop.

Vin, read this article, then think back to this Lexus story. Its tragic, but I put the blame more on the driver than the machine. Calm down, ride the brakes/ebrake as hard a possible, try to put it in neutral. I cant tell you how many car crashes we have fixed that the customer claimed ‘it just accelerated’ only to…

Man, the memories and the feels. My first new car was an 03 SRT-4 my senior year in high school Many hours at work after school paid for it, not my parents. Had her for 3 years and loved every minute. I would normally say CP, but this one is clean and rare. The way kids were totalling these left and right, I figure…

Oh I see now. I breezed through the vid on mute, I didn’t notice that in the beginning. thanks :)

Depends on how many are on duty and what their call load is like. I’ve had 1, 2 and 3 city cops behind me for minor citations in the past (the old Evo just screamed pull me over). Working crash scenes with FHP, if the call is somewhat interesting, or if the other troopers are bored they will stop by and hang out at…

Cool to have documented, but why would someone take 5 minutes of their day and record what looks like (at least initially) a normal traffic stop??
