Normally, the warranty folk want every record of maintenance...this guy had a 3 ring binder. It was impressive. I talked with the tech. Apparently these motors have had some issues, and rod failures happen. The car was an '18, with 120k. Beautiful, well maintained ride.
I'm afraid to say what...
Oh, I thought this was amusing. Warranty inspection yesterday..."check for cylinder scoring, oil condition and metal contamination" Well, that's what the paper said.
Piston #3 has left the chat 🤣
It did so in glorious fashion. The rod let loose, and the piston, small end and big end of the rod...
I thought this as well, but apparently there were one or two witnesses that said it did. The driver could have spun it maybe, and they just saw a dust cloud. This looks out in the sticks, but in actuality, there are homes maybe 100yds behind the camera. One of the things that was also mentioned...
I bought the POS because my daily was an Excursion...and Biden had just "won" the election. At the time, it was really because I'd take two trips into town everyday, so 40 miles a day. Then it became weekly trips to Phoenix for medical appointments. Somewhere in there it became, well I became, a...
Good chance he had extra on board. A lot of guys out here carry those type that mount to the cage. It's a pretty popular run to go from here around the mountain to the town of Jerome. No gas stations there. The less prepared will strap a can in the back.
I didn't post this this weekend because...
My stuff ain't anymore! Some bounces down the road in a trailer, and gets thrown into a road box to bounce in the back of a Prius. Some less commonly used stays at home in the rollcab, and some stays in 3 drawer filing cabinets...
It's a damn pawn shop circus :oops:
This is the reason I have a MAC gun...batteries are the same as DeWalt.
DeWalt does make, or did make, 2 half inch guns. One a bit more torque that the other.
Nobody's watching what's happening in Africa right now. The tipping point may be there, not Ukraine, like we thought.
The navel base in Syria and the air base Russia has have both been pretty untouched...both Israel and the US bombed the hell out of everything surrounding, but didn't hit the...
This happened shortly after we got home from daughter's graduation. About a quarter to a half mile out my back door. We saw some smoke, but not much really. Three deputies hauled ass up the road, and that got our attention...really rare. FD and medics were shortly behind.
The CanAm landed right...
How does it go?
"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference."
There's gonna be some changes needing done here. Someone already has made some. Some will stay...others will not.
It is depressing, I agree. I pretty much survive now on fixing broken stuff. The newest car on the property is 16 years old. I'll be fine...I still know how to set points ;) The bad thing is, a lot of people like me will be out of work. Now, more expensive fuel is an issue Cali already deals...
There are a lot of people that have new trucks every couple years to tow their boats to the river. That won't be an option. Tesla's, Hummer's and the others may be fine, but not a lot of them have much range towing...that's just on the fun side of life.
Now, less new ICE cars means eventually...
Once again, F'k the guy who screwed everyone. I feel bad for employees of his, and employees of those who got screwed. Lots of people will be hurt by this when it's over. Some now, before Christmas, but probably more in the months to come.
