My partner’s old Fusion had one of the recalled airbags and he kept putting it off, by the time he finally got it done they were sending him notices in the mail twice a week. Within a month of him changing his official address they started sending notices to the new address. Ford really wasn’t  messing around.

Got to get to a different shop. But nothing has defeated my 1,200ft lb impact. Not even the left thread axle note I took off like a right hand thread. Needed a new spindle after that one. 

Yeah, I figured as much. The sentence construction brought to mind terrifying tools with names like the bung hammer, the unidirectional turd wrench, and an assortment of pee rivets in multiple sizes.

I keep looking for one on Ebay but most of them are 3/4", 1" and up. So too big for anything I’d use it for. The smaller 500 and 625 models come up occasionally but get bid too high for me to pay for a tool I don’t actually need. I’d probably spend more time boring non-enthusiasts explaining how it works than actually…

I’m still waiting to read more about whatever happened to those Goodyear tires that were blowing up RVs and such, but now I want this story to become an in-depth investigatorial series as well.

The flip side is that Elon Musk has explicitly encouraged the misuse of Autopilot and FSD by flat-out lying about their capabilities. He has claimed that the cars have “all the hardware needed for self-driving,” as if this is a meaningful statement. He’s claimed a Tesla with FSD could do an autonomous cross-country…

Have you considered pitching the idea of a series of very short quips along with pictures? Maybe call it a “slide show”? I hear they are very popular with all the readers. 

engineers aren’t designing tooling to efficiently manufacture hundreds of thousands of roofs in florida.

Setting yourself on fire accidentally reminds me of Welding class in high school. We had a classmate Adam Barge. Adam loved his JNCO jeans and they were always frayed.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate just how well this image summarizes the entire article?

Reflectional symmetry can go die in a hole. It has no place on something that spins. Rotational symmetry or bust!!!!

My Nissan Altima even has a big square in the front bumper that practically says “hey dumbass, pop me open, there’s a place to screw in a recovery hook into here.” Pop it open and, bafflingly, there’s a little circular stamping in the subframe member underneath, but no fucking threads to screw into. The car still came…

Just turn it sideways instead. It’ll have the bonus benefit of helping to maintain appropriate physical distancing from other cars.

You should add the /sarcasm tag so that people know that you’re not an idiot.

Perhaps it’ll have a much more luxurious interior than Tesla (???)

You forgot that one :

Ask your doctor about Stellantis!

They were so close to legend status on that Mursedes....

Had an ‘87 Grand Marquis (same basic car) and it was one of the most versatile, all around best cars I’ve owned.
