    Car ?'s

    I'm running into this shit everywhere. This shit is just too complex for the techs to figure out. Maybe training will get better, but all the middle aged guys that started out changing oil and worked their way up to spark plugs and swapping starters and alternators and finally got up to doing...

    Car ?'s

    EVs are not going to be good for mechanics. They have like 30 moving parts in the drivetrain vs. 2000 in an ICE car. Other than suspension and steering there's not much to work on mechanically.

    That's terrible. Just terrible.

    Car ?'s

    My mom hit a calf with her Subaru a few months ago and crunched in the right front corner. The car was still fully drivable and 20 years ago it would have been a significant repair but doable. On this car 4 out of the 8 airbags went off and the repair estimate was $19k on a car that had a blue...

    Yeah, my independent mechanic buddy said he had a guy come in with a Chevy Pickup recently because he tried to change his own brake pads and you have to be able to hook up a computer to it to get it to release the pads so you can't even do that yourself anymore. It's even worse with...

    Car ?'s

    It really seems like the ODBII port should be obsolete by now. All newer vehicles not only have a screen but are connected to the internet. They should just be emailing you a full report, not turning on a check engine light and making you buy a reader to know what the codes are.

    Those knobs are pretty easy to turn by brushing against them but yeah, this seems like a stretch to say Samsung was negligent.

    The Fast Food Thread

    This thread has taught me that McD's prices vary greatly by region but here a double cheeseburger is $4.45 and it costs $1.50 to add a patty. An extra slice of cheese is $.60.

    You could but it would cost $1.45 more than ordering one with 4 patties. I haven't tried a quad but I wonder if it would get kind of hard to eat. Anyone remember when In-n-Out would give you unlimited patties and people were ordering 100x100s for internet clicks on their blogs? Pretty...

    Better Call Saul

    Seems like an okay thread to derail since there's not exactly a lot of Better Call Saul related discussion to have at the moment.

    Before I even got to the picture I was guessing George would be involved. He really seems like an all around great guy.

    If you order the double cheeseburger with a third patty it has more beef than a quarter pounder but costs $2.60 cents less, at least here. Even with four ⅒ pound patties it's cheaper than a quarter pounder.
