@Spottyroo What are the chances that 2017 Veloster still starts and runs today

[Seth @SS97]

@Alumiduty "Aftermarket warranty" is bullshit. A factory warranty is a manufacturer guaranteeing their product. The business model is selling a product with a good reputation. An "aftermarket warranty" is an insurance policy. The business model is paying out as little as possible.

@Ubertag90210 @plm_cr @calwireupdates It's not difficult to read the situation and make an educated guess that the cop is stopping traffic. Just look and think.

[Seth @SS97]

@calwireupdates It absolutely BLOWS my mind that some humans cannot use context clues to understand a traffic break. Zero capacity to recognize and understand new situation. Completely worthy of being called an NPC.

@joecarpenter678 My regular daily #3 screwdriver is a Vessel Impacta (JIS). Impact mechanism built into the handle. It will get about 80% of them out. Impact driver after that. It saves time because it's just one tool to grab plus a hammer.

@McMasterDaily Every time I've needed one in my life (not very often at all) I just pull a 9V apart.

@algae_fish Looks like that dealer hasn't missed a single estate sale in months

@CostaKapo Some customers prefer a low labor rate shop that use cheap parts and barely fix things. Others prefer a shop with a huge labor rate, lobby espresso machine, and use a lab scope to diagnose a burnt out light bulb. Some people don't understand that there is a healthy range.

@0x30n @JSyversen "Nothing I can do" "I think there is"

love that

@Spottyroo Welcome to modern vehicles, where every module depends on every sensor. Why even have multiple warning lights on the dash if they're all going to come on at once anyway.

[Seth @SS97]

@GoodAmericanMan So if you make the wrong move at the wrong time you have to chase the ends of a thousand studs?

[Seth @SS97]

@algae_fish Simple fix-- install adjustable rear upper control arms and then have it aligned. The one and only downside is the adjuster jam nuts need to be super tight or they will loosen up. Pretty much every brand that makes control arms for these will have an adjustable version.

@Magneticus1169 @T_Bartman This could work if you're only working on something with JIS spec fasteners, like a Honda or Toyota.

@joecarpenter678 Ugh I had one break on me yesterday. Honda Fit in for check engine light, B1S2 voltage problem. I was power braking on the lift to see how the voltage was responding to half throttle and BANG. Add that to the list of things that can happen I guess.

@FrankBr05713205 High school guidance counselors put absolute MORONS into automotive because "at least they can just fix cars if all else fails". The industry is suffering hard because of it. Lots of very bright young minds out there, we need some steered over to auto.

@pleasuresystems If it's clean and priced appropriately I do not see the problem.

[Seth @SS97]

@colligocritters Germans just take a few words specifically describing one thing, take the spaces out, and call it a new single word. I like it and have to intentionally not do it in English sometimes. Let's not pretend it's a superior vocabulary just because of that little trick though.

@Mattlinn01 Ball joint or outer tie rod

@jackywacky_3 I woke up T+15 minutes, pulled up the livestream, and the first chat message I read was "great, another perfect uneventful FH launch". I just went back to sleep.

@mahkus Remember, buying a vehicle means you fully personally support the politics of the CEO of the car company. Clearly, she must fully endorse any personal views held by the CEO of Fuji Heavy Industries. That's exactly how car buying works.
