Well it is CAR-bonite

Huh. Could this 3D scanning and printing technology be used to restore 90s American car interior hard surfaces so they’re made out of substances that don’t fade, fall apart, get sticky, smell odd, become brittle or exude a greasy substance when exposed to heat and sunlight?

meh. They’re fucking stupid for broadcasting it publicly, obviously, but 1) they’re probably not wrong, 2) show me a workplace that doesn’t talk shit about their customers. Quitting because some karens overheard you talking about them is a bit spinless and over dramatic, just fake an apology and move on.

I mean, I’m not condoning everything they said, but...

I def think his falling away from his church led to his divorce from his first wife. I think he is less Christian and conservative these days.

According to some quick Googling, that $3800 Rabbit is about $18k today. That $12k Caddy is roughly $57k now. That seems, what, about right for what those two cars should cost?

I think Ford restyled the Granada with the single rectangular headlights just for the sake of having a car with single rectangular headlights, which were newly legal in the US in 1977. Probably the same reason the Pontiac Ventura became the Phoenix.

I think that the Wolseley Gyrocar is ripe for a revival. Modern car design seems to lack. any reference to the inevitability of death or serious mutilation.

I specifically signed up for the unconnected future, thank you.

“Acura sedans are going the way of Infiniti, people buy them because they can get a good deal on them, not because they are desirable.”

Everyone compares Genesis to Lexus when it started up in 89/90, but does anyone know how much less $$ the Lexus LS400 started at versus the contemporary S-class? I realize at that point Mercedes was at the tail end of the W126 and was about to introduce the W140 which, due to its engineering complexity and goal to…

Almost as generic as your comment.

Come on my Harbor Freight pacemaker is just as good as —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-sorry kinda passed out on the keyboard again

I’m surprised it took me this long to find this comment. I don’t fully trust any jack or any stand, no matter the brand. I try my best to make sure the vehicle has some redundancy in not killing me by other means, be it wheels, metal ramps, or even a cinder block. And of the operation isn’t wheels off, ramps all the…

A few points - definitely check these if you have them, and get them returned. Pay attention to the teeth on the stand bar too, I’ve seen some of them that are very shallow - this may be the thing causing the recall, the forming dies for the teeth are getting worn on the tooling.

Am I surprised that HF issued a recall? Nope, but at the same time, this isn’t down to the quality of materials used; the castings went bad and this will be rectified. Shit, I’d love to pick up a new set once the castings get refreshed. At the end of the day, I’ve never fully trusted my life to jack stands, even if…

Sears sold Craftsman so now the brand is sold elsewhere. HF is probably smart not over expanding into a shrinking market and doing what they’re nominally good at. Ace and TrueValue can handle small full service stores and HD and Lowe’s can do big box.

The Harbor Freight stuff is good in a pinch if you need small amount of rebar in your concrete.  Other than that, it is the absolutely most junk available on the entire planet.  Look at the time period that they are recalling, 5 1/2 years.  I should confess, I did get my index finger removed compliments of a…

As a dad of two kids and owner of an Odyssey for 4 years (and counting), I have removed 1 of the 2nd row seats maybe twice. To remove the whole 2nd row can only be done if I remove both car seats - not impossible but pain. So stow and go is useful, but the lack of it is not a deal breaker.

It’s a family van, not a work van. It is meant to carry people, not cargo. No one will care about this for the one time they have to remove the seats in the 10 years of ownership.
