Hung or hanged?

I’ve seen Amish buggies with radios.

Driving too fast to notice, probably.

Ok $kycog time to come out of retirement!

By assuming the driver had a thought process, I think you are giving him/her too much credit.

Gonna guess they came around the corner hot, swerved left to miss the hole and didn’t quite make it.

None. Same processed they used for removing barriers to drive on a closed road.

Exactly what I was thinking. Why the hell would a car theif take the time to stop and move a road closure sign?

what are the odds that this wasn’t theft?

4 inches (or less) created the demand for the taller hoods in the first place.

Subaru’s are basically suburban transport vehicles.... but...

but but but that’s the point !!

Yeah, I may show that to my retired machinist father. He'll probably get a good half hour's entertainment explaining to me how he'd go about making it and/or what they did wrong.

Those are Torq-Set screws, not Phillips.  The drive walls of the cruciform are smaller in area than the removal walls, increasing the likelihood you can remove the fastener without stripping it out (which clearly failed here).

What are you doing wasting your time on here, when you could be telling the guys who send things into space how to do their jobs? 

Where’s the f@ck’s sake guy when you need him? Unbelievable a Philips was used.

Those heads look nice and stripped too.

The hub is held on with hex head bolts.

I agree, the engineer that signed off on the use of Phillip head screws should be fired. There are so many other higher torque capable fasteners out there. Hell a a deep slot head would have been better.

Where do you see Phillips in there? The cruicform screws in that outer ring are Torq-Set. This style is used in aerospace precisely because it avoids the problems you mention with Phillips. Torq-Set screws do not cam out at all, and present more driver contact area for removal than for insertion so that you can still g…
