Having been through Germany’s TÜV inspection, I’m certain it would not have prevented this failure.

You’re right about the criminal justice system and you’re right that it wouldn’t help this kid or the cyclists he mowed down at all. I’m more interested in the civil suit that follows and kinda hope that bankrupts this family.

I guess I’m not eligible, since I use the RainX washer fluid.

While I do enjoy the mechanical details of DT’s wrenching articles, there are always human interest elements that are equally entertaining. You didn’t get a warm spot reading about Loyal sucking in gas fumes for some random stranger?

Are you new here or something?   This is like bread and butter to most of us.

I always think of this XKCD cartoon when I see a headline like the one you chose.

Brand new U-bolts! I know what I got. Don’t waste my time!

Thats not being fair, that's speaking objective truth.  The A10 is a goddamned beast of a plane.  We're all better with a little BRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTT in our lives.
