They do that here sometimes, but most of the time people just say fuck it and keep driving. Just don’t overtake them is my general rule of thumb. Sorry your uncle died, but I did not plan an 8 minute unscheduled stop on the road in my commute thanks.

It’s not Shrinkage, it is Inflation. Shrinkage is when things are stolen, lost or broken, not when they lose value.

That doesn’t make ANY sense. No one ever needs to be picked up at Departure, ONLY Arrivals. If you have never been to an airport, this may sound weird, but Arrivals is where people are getting OFF planes are located and need picked up. They are not departing the airport, they just ARRIVED at the airport and need…

Any Peruvian lawyers out there? Does this have any legal ground at all in Peru if they were to try and go after his assets there? 

What is funny is that screw isn’t even needed. Just stick the caliper on and she ain’t goin no where. And once the wheel is on, she REALLY ain’t goin no where! Most cars don’t even have one, so why add the cost, complexity, and frustration for no reason?

And what will F150 drivers do to get their fix if Chrome goes away? How will they let the world know they have bad taste if they don’t have chrome door handles, b and c pillars, stick on vents, mirror caps, tailgate lettering, cb antennas, grill, and door sills?

I used it to take the seized set screw out of a brake rotor, but yeah, not many flat head or phillips screws on cars anymore.

Is the new stuff on cars really Chrome? I thought it was just a shiny plastic chrome look alike.

I have had one of these in my toolbox for probably 10 years, used it for the first time a few months ago and WOW, I should have been using it more often! I just kind of forget it even exists because power tools haha

Good to know

I wish I could still get a taxi in my city. There is only like 1 guy left doing private taxi service in my city, and to use him, you have to listen to his colorful stories about his time driving pimps and hoes around in his cab in the 70's and 80's. I try to avoid him unless I need to be at the airport at 5AM or…

This is a pretty simple one, but brake piston compressors. When I was young I would just shove random things in the caliper like a block of wood, then muscle the piston back in. What a game changer a compressor was! If you are going to be a home mechanic, and brakes are one of the easier and most done jobs, just pony…

My biggest issue with charging for wait time is I can’t even count the number of times I have requested Uber/Lyft at an airport and the dumbass goes to the Departures instead of Arrivals so we are standing there waiting for a driver to show who has been sitting on the top deck for like 10 minutes, then they cancel…

Hmmm, it’s almost like Apple doesn’t want there to BE a used market. Gotta buy straight from the source if you want that overpriced logo on your computer. This definitely seems like it hurts the used market WAY more than it hurts thieves. Everyone knows apple stuff has Find My features now, so I don’t think theft is…

Hyundai really fucked up and there is no excuse. Chipped keys are so cheap now, it is negligent to not have one. It would be like shipping a car with no AC or radio, that is just standard stuff now unless you pay Porsche to take it out lol.

Would be cool, but not worth buying a whole new car just so I don’t have to take my phone out of my pocket. Which, if I am honest, comes out within 2 minutes of driving anyway because it’s uncomfortable in my pocket.

Oh man, I have such an urge to buy this, if it were closer to Ohio I might be calling the seller right now! I’ve been looking for a project my dad and I could wrench on and this quirky car is perfect! 

Both my cars have that.

The last point is where I am at. My vehicles have basically all the modern features you could want, and they are 2015 and 2017. I did feel a huge upgrade going from a mid 2000's with no center screen to these newer vehicles, but new cars today have basically the same stuff as my 2015, no major leaps in tech other than…

Apparently, Tim wrote a book in 1994 called “Don’t stand too close to a naked man”... just putting that out there.
