| scientes | "According to Russian media, the President of Republic of Abkhazia, Alexander Ankvab threatened international organisations that accepted neutral passports, saying during a meeting with the leadership of the foreign ministry that "international organizations that suggest the so-called neutral passports, will leave Abkhazia."[132]" | Nov 19 00:09 |
|---|---|---|
| scientes | its so corrupt | Nov 19 00:09 |
| scientes | they purged the georgians from abkhassia, and now they play dangerous politics with Russia (but this is not unanimous) | Nov 19 00:10 |
| scientes | "Moscow, at certain times, hinted that it might recognise Abkhazia and South Ossetia when Western countries recognised the independence of Kosovo, suggesting that they had created a precedent. Following Kosovo's declaration of independence, the Russian parliament released a joint statement reading: "Now that the situation in Kosovo has become an international precedent, Russia should take into account the Kosovo scenario... when considering | Nov 19 00:10 |
| scientes | ongoing territorial conflicts." | Nov 19 00:10 |
| scientes | so apparent international relations is suppose to be fair? China plays the same non-sense, always claiming to be "hurt". | Nov 19 00:11 |
| scientes | the only alleged fact that seems true is the mass expulsion of georgians from abkhassia | Nov 19 00:12 |
| scientes | there are so many lies here | Nov 19 00:12 |
| scientes | and those that expuled georgians are then recognized as an independent state | Nov 19 00:13 |
| scientes | sounds like the very nazi-type shit that they say they are fighting against in Ukraine | Nov 19 00:13 |
| scientes | This isn't international relations | Nov 19 00:15 |
| scientes | you say "those that accept neutral passports insult [us]", et cetera--but this militaristic tone shows that they are full of bullshit | Nov 19 00:16 |
| scientes | enforcement of treason is largely left to citizens | Nov 19 00:17 |

| scientes | XRevan86, does that inspire confidence in democracy for you? The country of Georgia electing a country that recognizes a bunch of Georgian-enthinicity purgers | Nov 19 00:35 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: I don't know a lot about the internal affairs of Georgia. | Nov 19 00:35 |
| scientes | neither do I | Nov 19 00:35 |
| XRevan86 | I've heard about recent anti-Putin public demonstrations | Nov 19 00:36 |
| XRevan86 | It's after them flights there were limited. | Nov 19 00:37 |
| scientes | ahhh, this loyalty thing | Nov 19 00:37 |
| scientes | even in a foreign country | Nov 19 00:37 |
| XRevan86 | The pretext for protests was pretty flimsy, but I understand that giving a chair to a Russian official had a lot of symbolic value. | Nov 19 00:38 |
| scientes | well Putin was president when the two countries fought a war | Nov 19 00:39 |
| scientes | so I didn't even doubt a pretext | Nov 19 00:39 |
| XRevan86 | Technically Dmitry Medvedev | Nov 19 00:39 |
| scientes | oh yes, now I remember that technicality | Nov 19 00:39 |
| scientes | how did they resolve that constitutional crisis? | Nov 19 00:39 |
| XRevan86 | You should have said "Putin was in power" :) | Nov 19 00:40 |
| scientes | but we already *know* that, and that is what a Russian would say | Nov 19 00:40 |
| scientes | it only contributes to the Russian attitude of "nothing can be done" | Nov 19 00:40 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: I mean that the title he didn't have, but it's not hard to mitigate that | Nov 19 00:41 |
| scientes | yes, I remember when that was being arranged, as it was in the US news | Nov 19 00:42 |
| scientes | Putin's title was....I forget | Nov 19 00:42 |
| XRevan86 | "man in power", "leader", "ruler" | Nov 19 00:42 |
| XRevan86 | Prime Minister | Nov 19 00:42 |
| scientes | His Majasty hehe | Nov 19 00:42 |
| scientes | oh yes | Nov 19 00:42 |
| scientes | I did remember right, but having both president and prime minister was odd | Nov 19 00:43 |
| XRevan86 | "how did they resolve that constitutional crisis?" scientes: Only 2 times *in a row* | Nov 19 00:43 |
| XRevan86 | Putin won't be able to get himself re-elected as president of the RF in 2024 without changing the constitution. | Nov 19 00:44 |
| scientes | but you said in a row | Nov 19 00:44 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Putin, Putin, Medvedev, Putin, Putin | Nov 19 00:45 |
| scientes | Putin, Putin, Puppet, Putin, Putin, Puppet | Nov 19 00:46 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: yes | Nov 19 00:46 |
| scientes | I still think he's the best leader for Russia, but that Russia has no right to create terrorism in Georgia | Nov 19 00:47 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: You can't cherry pick Putin | Nov 19 00:47 |
| scientes | as you said | Nov 19 00:48 |
| scientes | <XRevan86> I've heard about recent anti-Putin public demonstrations | Nov 19 00:48 |
| scientes | <XRevan86> It's after them flights there were limited. | Nov 19 00:48 |
| scientes | I can't, but I will | Nov 19 00:48 |
| scientes | as only Regan ever tried to claim he was world dictaitor | Nov 19 00:48 |
| XRevan86 | Russia needs leadership that will bother at least a little bit about infrastructure. | Nov 19 00:49 |
| scientes | that too | Nov 19 00:49 |
| scientes | instead of just political ploys, like a railroad in Cuba | Nov 19 00:49 |
| scientes | the same complaint is made of the Chinese Communist Party | Nov 19 00:49 |
| scientes | completely ignoring rural China | Nov 19 00:49 |
| scientes | but they do have good LTE coverage, and Russia too | Nov 19 00:50 |
| scientes | and there is network neutrality, instead of corruption with Facebook | Nov 19 00:50 |
| scientes | he is also building nuclear plants | Nov 19 00:51 |
| scientes | so I think it is better than the West | Nov 19 00:52 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Network neutrality is simply not a thing. | Nov 19 00:52 |
| scientes | the concept in English law is common carrier | Nov 19 00:52 |
| XRevan86 | Of course there are tariffs that favour VK and other social networks. | Nov 19 00:52 |
| scientes | which is something I like quite a bit about English law | Nov 19 00:53 |
| scientes | oh................. | Nov 19 00:53 |
| scientes | shit | Nov 19 00:53 |
| scientes | not here in Georgia | Nov 19 00:53 |
| scientes | and my carrier is the Russian carrier BeeLine | Nov 19 00:53 |
| scientes | more of that copying the US thing.... | Nov 19 00:53 |
| scientes | and I only saw VK like 10 years ago when it looked like MySpace, I guess it has progressed quite a bit.... | Nov 19 00:53 |
| XRevan86 | It's original design is copied from Facebook. | Nov 19 00:54 |
| XRevan86 | It never looked like MySpace. | Nov 19 00:54 |
| scientes | the *old* facebook | Nov 19 00:54 |
| XRevan86 | Yes. It's still with a better design than Facebook. | Nov 19 00:55 |
| scientes | well damn, that sucks | Nov 19 00:55 |
| scientes | it was such a contrast between Bolivia and the other latin american countries | Nov 19 00:55 |
| scientes | because of not being corrupt with Facebook | Nov 19 00:55 |
| scientes | and Georgia is good too | Nov 19 00:55 |
| XRevan86 | "more of that copying the US thing...." – it was never any other way | Nov 19 00:55 |
| XRevan86 | The US had a more progressive law for a change. | Nov 19 00:56 |
| scientes | well yeah this corrupt is a foreign empire thing | Nov 19 00:56 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I don't know what to think about a "mechanic in a bottle" product. | Nov 19 01:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some work, some don't. | Nov 19 01:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Lucas kept me from having to replace a power steering pump in the Crown Victoria. | Nov 19 01:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Not sure about these "head gasket leak sealers". Some people say they worked. Others don't. 50/50. | Nov 19 01:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'd say if you have an old clunker that you don't want to do a $1,000 head gasket job on, why not? | Nov 19 01:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Crown Vic steering pump wasn't leaking. The old fluid just hadn't ever been flushed out and I decided to use the Lucas steering fluid that's supposed to recondition worn seals and whatever. | Nov 19 01:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Figured what the hell? | Nov 19 01:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It came to my attention when the temp got down to 20 below and the pump started squealing. | Nov 19 01:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Impala was way too far gone to expect a power steering stop leak product to do anything for. | Nov 19 01:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The rack was leaking like a sieve and the pump was just starting to leak. | Nov 19 01:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I replaced both and the return line. | Nov 19 01:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It wasn't just that the seals in the rack were bad. They brought it out to show me when they finally got it out and it was in way worse shape than I was expecting. | Nov 19 01:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I had them put a remanufactured rack in because those are as good as new anyway. They take someone else's busted rack and they replace all the wear stuff on it. | Nov 19 01:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Ends up being like $200 for the part instead of $700 for a brand new one. | Nov 19 01:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's why your old rack has a $50 core on it. | Nov 19 01:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Power steering rack jobs aren't cheap. There's going to be like 3-4 labor hours in there on most cars. | Nov 19 01:41 |
| danielp3344 | My truck might need some PS attention soomn | Nov 19 01:41 |
| danielp3344 | soon* | Nov 19 01:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Tell the shop to use a remanufactured rack. | Nov 19 01:41 |
| danielp3344 | Sometimes it doesn't work at idle | Nov 19 01:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They did offer to use a junkyard ABS module. | Nov 19 01:42 |
| danielp3344 | Nobody but me works on the truck :P | Nov 19 01:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But I had them order me a brand new Delco part. | Nov 19 01:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That was expensive. | Nov 19 01:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I can't imagine that replacing a steering rack is fun. | Nov 19 01:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Didn't look like the guy was having fun in there. | Nov 19 01:43 |
| danielp3344 | It's not so bad | Nov 19 01:43 |
| danielp3344 | lift truck, undo hoses, lots of bolts. then do all that in reverse | Nov 19 01:43 |
| danielp3344 | (after rebuilding the rack) | Nov 19 01:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They didn't recommend replacing the wheel bearing or other outer tie rod as a set. | Nov 19 01:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some people do, some don't. | Nov 19 01:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's no problem now and there may never be one. | Nov 19 01:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So who knows? | Nov 19 01:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | One argument goes that they take about the same amount of wear. Another goes, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. | Nov 19 01:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Might not have been hage. Could have just taken a really bad pothole on that wheel. | Nov 19 01:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | *age | Nov 19 01:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I knew the rack had a slow leak in it, but the bearing and tie rod needed replaced ASAP, so I told them not to do an alignment and I'd be back in when I had the money for the rest of the stuff. | Nov 19 01:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, an occasional drip became the car leaving puddles of steering fluid everywhere I went. | Nov 19 01:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I went back over there and had them take care of the rack at that point. :P | Nov 19 01:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Within 10 days, the rest of the seal just gave out and I barely made it back in there. | Nov 19 01:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When they got ready to do the rack, they noticed that my transaxle seals were seeping transmission fluid and the pan gasket was too. | Nov 19 01:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I noticed before I ever got in there that the car would slip every now and then. | Nov 19 01:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I know they didn't sabotage anything. (I'm always skeptical, but it is an old car and I know what my mom does with them. As little as possible.) | Nov 19 01:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I know she doesn't skip her oil changes, so there's that. | Nov 19 01:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I asked them what color the transmission fluid was, expecting to hear "brown". | Nov 19 01:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They said "It's basically still red. Just barely starting to brown.". She had the transmission rebuilt at 100,000 miles. | Nov 19 01:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So this one has a little over 160k on it. | Nov 19 01:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So someone did a fluid change along the way at least once. (Thank God.) | Nov 19 01:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I told them to go ahead and fix it and to do a fluid and filter change. | Nov 19 01:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm guessing if it was just slightly brown, the fluid had about 90-100k on it. | Nov 19 01:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So someone probably did a fluid change when the transmission was at 60-70k. | Nov 19 01:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Daniel Peterson: I was going to maybe buy a 2004 Crown Victoria, but I got up there and it had an exhaust manifold leak. | Nov 19 01:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They wouldn't budge on the price. | Nov 19 01:53 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: that's a 30 second fix with a welder | Nov 19 01:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then I noticed something worse. The transmission fluid was brown going on black. | Nov 19 01:54 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: auto trans? | Nov 19 01:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah. | Nov 19 01:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I had them put new axle seals in. | Nov 19 01:54 |
| *danielp3344 only buys manuals | Nov 19 01:54 | |
| danielp3344 | When I bought my truck I showed up for a test drive, it wouldn't start and when we parked it it spilled most of its brake fluid onto the guy's driveway | Nov 19 01:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Those are actually only half as popular as all-electric cars now. | Nov 19 01:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Manual transmissions are disappearing fast. | Nov 19 01:55 |
| danielp3344 | So I got it for $650 instead of 1500 | Nov 19 01:55 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: It's quite sad, they're still far better than even the best autos | Nov 19 01:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, well, at $650 even if you couldn't fix it you could get your money back as scrap. | Nov 19 01:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So you weren't risking anything. | Nov 19 01:56 |
| danielp3344 | It's a really great truck | Nov 19 01:56 |
| danielp3344 | 1987 f150 custom 4x4 | Nov 19 01:56 |
| danielp3344 | With the best truck engine ford ever built | Nov 19 01:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Can't be. | Nov 19 01:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That was way before the Modular V8 | Nov 19 01:56 |
| danielp3344 | can too :P | Nov 19 01:56 |
| danielp3344 | 300 I6 | Nov 19 01:56 |
| danielp3344 | 150hp and over 300lb/ft or torque | Nov 19 01:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Modular V8 is my favorite engine of all time. | Nov 19 01:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They were putting those things in everything at one point. | Nov 19 01:57 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: I do like it, but the 6 is a better truck engine | Nov 19 01:57 |
| danielp3344 | 3v 5.4 is my favorite ford engine for other cars | Nov 19 01:57 |
| danielp3344 | maybe the 6.0 | Nov 19 01:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Crown Vics (and the rebadge jobs for Mercury and Lincoln), Mustangs, the pickup trucks. | Nov 19 01:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You want to put it in a Mustang? Stick a turbocharger on it. | Nov 19 01:57 |
| danielp3344 | ^^^ | Nov 19 01:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Modular came in various sizes and with and without turbo. | Nov 19 01:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But any way you got it, it was a good engine. | Nov 19 01:58 |
| danielp3344 | DaemonFC: but once you drive a ford six you never go back :P | Nov 19 01:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They used the Vulcan V6 in the Ford Ranger. | Nov 19 01:59 |
| danielp3344 | It's the fastest truck I've ever driven actually | Nov 19 01:59 |
| danielp3344 | TONS of torque at like 1.5k | Nov 19 01:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It wasn't a bad engine in my Ford Taurus. | Nov 19 01:59 |
| danielp3344 | You can cruise at 1000 and still get good pickup if you floor it | Nov 19 02:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oh, I tried to find a early 00s Ford for my ex. | Nov 19 02:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I looked at a 2003 Ford Ranger. | Nov 19 02:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Someone beat the fuck out of it though. | Nov 19 02:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oil in the coolant. | Nov 19 02:00 |
| danielp3344 | mmm | Nov 19 02:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Engine oil way low and sludged. | Nov 19 02:00 |
| danielp3344 | Mine needs a head gasket, lots of exhaust in the coolant and vice versa | Nov 19 02:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Blown head gasket, I'm guessing. | Nov 19 02:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Among other serious problems. | Nov 19 02:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We checked out a 2000 Mercury Sable with 94,000 miles on it. | Nov 19 02:01 |
| danielp3344 | bbl | Nov 19 02:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was spooked by the way the shop operated though. | Nov 19 02:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He told them we were coming and they had a guy drain and fill the radiator real quick. | Nov 19 02:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I asked to see the old coolant and they "discarded it already". | Nov 19 02:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I went for a test drive and I think a motor mount was broken. | Nov 19 02:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Broken motor mount isn't the end of the world. $250-300 at the shop. | Nov 19 02:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But they wanted more than the car was worth already and wouldn't come down. | Nov 19 02:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And you know there will be something else when you get it back home. :P | Nov 19 02:03 |
| <--factor has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Nov 19 02:03 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | I told him "If you can get them down to $2400, we'll take it. But they insisted on $3400, and I knew with the motor mount we'd be in at least $3700 at that point if nothing else happened. | Nov 19 02:04 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I have a 2000 323ci BMW or should I say I had one. It sounded like a bomb going off when the engine blew the second day after I put this crap in my radiator. I’m so lucky that I’m going to have to fight them to get my money back for the bottle of crap they sold me but won’t replace all the parts that blew apart and clogged up to see if I could save my engine. I would never recommend this product to anyone. Small | Nov 19 02:20 |

| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I think it's funny she blew up a BMW and she's worried about getting her money back for the $40 bottle of "head gasket sealer" that did it. | Nov 19 18:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Head gaskets aren't cheap, so people look for a mechanic in a bottle and blow up what's left of the car. | Nov 19 18:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | By the time the mechanic in a bottle is done working, they're down a radiator, a heater core, a water pump, and an engine. | Nov 19 18:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When if they just coughed up $800-900, they could have had a new head gasket and kept driving the car. | Nov 19 18:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm sure there's no way a head gasket is an $800-900 job on a Beemer. | Nov 19 18:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A 325i is $2,000 on the low end. | Nov 19 18:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | $2,800 if you take it to a dealer. | Nov 19 18:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It would be cheaper to try to find a used engine to drop in there if the head gasket goes. | Nov 19 18:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | $500 for the engine. The mechanic is going to have to take so much shit apart to get to your head gasket that you'd be just as well off putting a less used engine in there. | Nov 19 18:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | For an engine with 90,000 miles on it, you could go $1,400 on the engine and just pay them to put it in. | Nov 19 18:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You'd still be within the range of just a head gasket on the one that's in there now. | Nov 19 18:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, you're dealing with an engine with an unknown history every time you go that route, but yours has a blown head gasket and probably other issues, and may have twice as many miles on it as the one you're swapping it for. | Nov 19 18:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If the head gasket goes on the Impala, I wouldn't be happy about it, but I know that the rest of the car is in good enough condition that I'd put a new one on it and bitch about it a little and keep driving. | Nov 19 18:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm shocked that someone who owned a BMW who would be stupid enough to pour blue devil in it made it 20 years on a BMW, to be honest. | Nov 19 18:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've heard so many stories about it. It destroys easily as many cars as it "saves". By saves, I mean the guy drives it another 80 or 90,000 miles and got out of buying a new gasket. | Nov 19 18:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I asked my mechanic about those power steering stop leak products and he said if you pour it in, you may see the leak go away for 8-12 months, but you'll be back in there paying for a new rack and pump. | Nov 19 18:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I ended up having to do both anyway, but it was leaking so fast that a stop leak product wasn't going to do anything at that point. | Nov 19 18:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Unless it is an absolute piece of junk that might make it another year anyway.... | Nov 19 18:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Don't do it. | Nov 19 18:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Daniel Peterson: I saw two guys in a rusted out Ford Focus today. | Nov 19 18:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I rolled down my window and said, "Excuse me. There's a brake line hanging from the bottom of your car. You might want at that before something snags it and you don't have any brakes.". | Nov 19 18:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The guy cussed me out and zipped off. | Nov 19 18:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Daniel Peterson: I like the local Car-X. They don't try to upsell you to things you don't even need. Some of these chains are pretty bad. | Nov 19 18:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The worst, by far, are the ones that are centered around oil changes. They have "technicians" and half the stuff they offer is and improper procedure. | Nov 19 18:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My dad used to go to Jiffy Lube....Ugh. | Nov 19 18:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Every time, they'd come out and start talking about bad PCV valves or plugged air filters. He wasn't stupid enough to pay them for that at least. | Nov 19 18:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | On most engines, the PCV valve is a $3 part that you just unplug, toss, and plug in a new one. | Nov 19 18:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | On a Ford, it usually doesn't even require a screwdriver. | Nov 19 18:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They say "Oh, we'll replace your PCV valve for $69.99.". | Nov 19 18:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In one case, when I was younger, I went to Jiffy Lube and they told me my PCV valve was bad and my air filter was plugged up. | Nov 19 18:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said, "Well, that's interesting because I just replaced both of them myself and they didn't even look like that.". | Nov 19 18:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then the guy was arguing that those were just "demonstration parts". I said, "Why I don't I just pay you by showing you what money looks like and you give me my keys back?". | Nov 19 18:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | PCV valve is so cheap you might as well just toss and replace every 100,000 miles on a Crown Vic just for the hell of it. | Nov 19 18:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even if it still rattles, it's probably got some crap in it. New one probably works a little better. | Nov 19 18:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I suppose if you wanted to, you could soak it in some Marvel Mystery Oil overnight, but that's more expensive than a new valve. | Nov 19 18:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Anecdotally, when I see people driving a comically bad car, it tends to be a woman or a really effeminate gay man. | Nov 19 18:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I can see knowing absolutely nothing about how a car works, but you can still get on the Google or use your eyes and see how the other ones that people bought held up. | Nov 19 18:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When you see 32/32 on reliability for Fiat and most of them in Chicago are missing their bumpers within 3 years, you know "Don't buy the car!". | Nov 19 18:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Like, Fiat is doing something to their cars where the bumpers must just fall the fuck off. | Nov 19 18:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's way too many of them without bumpers to be a coincidence or just some idiot running into you. | Nov 19 18:55 |

| MinceR | lol | Nov 19 20:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're mostly cheap plastic and fiberglass. | Nov 19 20:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My dad was always extremely cheap. | Nov 19 20:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He'd give my mom $100 cars and some of them were so bad that....someone got in the back seat and put their foot through the floor. | Nov 19 20:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mom made him do something about it when I was done with my baby bottle (this was like 1985) and threw it through the hole in the floor and out onto the road. | Nov 19 20:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So he gets some spare sheet metal from work and welds it to the bottom of the car. | Nov 19 20:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She asks how it looks under there. He says there's more metal in that than the rest of the car put together. | Nov 19 20:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you do not wash your car regularly in the midwest. | Nov 19 20:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It will disintegrate. | Nov 19 20:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There are a few rust spots on my Impala, but it's a 2003. I see cars that are 2010 or so where the whole bottom trim is gone. | Nov 19 20:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I did go ahead and take one page out of the BMW playbook for my Impala. | Nov 19 20:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I put 0w30 full synthetic oil in it. | Nov 19 20:35 |
| -->gde33 (~gde33@84-106-154-98.cable.dynamic.v4.ziggo.nl) has joined #techrights | Nov 19 20:35 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | GM never approved it on the 2003 (it didn't exist back then iirc), but they recommend it on the 2011 and newer in the owner's manual "In the winter if it will drop below -20 F where you live.". | Nov 19 20:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It'll be doing that next month, so I just went ahead and used the stuff. | Nov 19 20:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It was difficult to start on 5w30 a couple weeks ago when it got down to 7 F, so.... | Nov 19 20:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Imagine what it would do if it dropped another 10-20 degrees. | Nov 19 20:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And it will. | Nov 19 20:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I recommend the 0w30 if it'll get to 0 F where you live. | Nov 19 20:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because who wants to fight with their car in the morning, even just a little bit? | Nov 19 20:37 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC[m]: really a lot of super cars cannot rust they don't have any metals that can rust in them. | Nov 19 20:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you live somewhere where it absolutely never gets cold (under 20 F), I'd say stick to 5w30, but I still recommend full synthetic (it's required by many newer cars and any car should run better on it anyway.). | Nov 19 20:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You probably will eventually get the car started below zero on 5w30 or 5w20, but it'll be more difficult and oil won't get where it's going quite as fast. | Nov 19 20:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A few more seconds of the engine running with insufficient oil each morning in the dead of winter adds up over time. | Nov 19 20:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If this transmission ever starts making weird noises I doubt rebuilding it is going to be my first choice. | Nov 19 20:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If it's not low on fluid and it starts acting weird and it's high mileage anyway, "Lucas Transmission Fix" might make it go ahead and work properly for 40,000 miles or so. | Nov 19 20:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not actually fixing anything, but it could buy you 3-4 more years with the car. | Nov 19 20:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So what the hell. | Nov 19 20:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Hell, 40,000 miles is longer than some GM transmissions last on their new cars anyway. | Nov 19 20:47 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Apparently, people just walked away from their Trabant when East Germany collapsed. | Nov 19 22:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The integration of Germany was not optional. | Nov 19 22:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | East Germany was a satellite state that got massive subsidies from the Soviet Union. | Nov 19 22:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've never seen a car that was so bad under a free market that people tried to walk away from one that was nearly new, unless it was German. | Nov 19 22:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I wonder how much a Communist German car could have been. | Nov 19 22:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | *how much worse | Nov 19 22:36 |
| MinceR | there probably were even worse "car"s from the eastern bloc :> | Nov 19 22:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think you coud import and drive a Trabant in Illinois. | Nov 19 22:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you really wanted to. | Nov 19 22:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You'd have to ask for a special title to be created for it and register it as a collector's item or novelty automobile and receive an exemption for any smog control device it lacks. | Nov 19 22:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not impossible. Classic and custom cars get those all the time. You don't even have to install seatbelts if it came off the assembly line without them. | Nov 19 22:41 |

| MinceR | well, i don't know. some sources say the trabant was the worst "car" ever, others say it wasn't so bad | Nov 19 22:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | People who are only marginally employable under Communist states generally don't thrive in a free market and oppose them. | Nov 19 22:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's why Illinois has powerful government unions forcing taxpayers to give them "jobs". | Nov 19 22:43 |
| MinceR | lol @ video | Nov 19 22:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Most government workers here are fat and lazy. A lot of them are minorities. | Nov 19 22:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You go into the office and it's ghetto as fuck. | Nov 19 22:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Like something out of a Cheech and Chong movie. | Nov 19 22:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Government "work" appeals to petty tyrants who are lazy and stupid. | Nov 19 22:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In return for working for uncle sugar, they get twice what a private sector job pays and argue that taxes can be raised to whatever level keeps them there as people get out of Illinois as fast as they can. | Nov 19 22:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR Sound familiar? | Nov 19 22:46 |
