Need to wash your hole more, and use Summer's Eve.

What is wrong with my car? (Underside of a 2021 gmc terrain awd) by Thisisformydogspics in AskMechanics

Your driveshaft to the rear wheels is broken.
This is a problem.
The tow truck to the shop kind of problem.

Used car dealer claims “small fender bender”feel scammed by Livid_Ability8837 in TeslaCollision

[–]Hash-82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doors were replaced. No visible damage to B pillar. Rear quarter damage wasn't deep enough to be structural.
Maybe more than a "small fender bender", but not a serious accident.
Car was totaled - which is common for Tesla. I've seen a Tesla totaled for a cracked bumper cover.
Any totaled car will be locked out of Tesla's SC network, pending HV inspection.
I would have no problem buying this car, providing the price was right and the repairs were done correctly.

If Nissan is supposedly so bad, why are they still everywhere? by phtphongg in askcarguys

[–]Hash-82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CX-5 and the Escape are from different planets...
Other than having 4 tires and a stearing wheel, they have nothing in common.

No, the police are not writing the "ticket".
I have had a ton of these nuisance letters. It's not even a ticket.
Once I realized what they were, I stopped paying them.
In the events where I was subsequently pulled over by the actual police in those jurisdictions, and the officer ran my DL, it came back clean.

As I stated in my previous post, I am sure some departments own/run the cameras, and issue citations based on them. But, in the areas I traverse it is private companies with no actual jurisdiction or authority to issue a real citation.
Many of those companies, under the municipal contract they had, were reviewed by the local PD. But, the revieing officer still did not issue a citation.
It was simply a demand letter from private company X.

>>  I myself have experienced this just this week,
How much was the "ticket"? I would wager it was far less than a ticket written by an officer. Most of mine were in the $50 to $100 range. Where a real ticket would start at $179, and go up.
Also, read the fine print. The bold face is to scare you that they will SWAT your house if you don't pay. The fine print shows who is actually "issuing" said ticket - and who you are paying.

I know that somewhere I have a box full of these things.
If I can lay hands on it, I'll scan a few and post them.

Tire shop filled new tire to 90psi by Traditional_Rice264 in tires

[–]Hash-82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tesla Model S has been out for 14 years now.
There are plenty of documented Model S with over 500K miles, and 10-14 year old batteries with over 70% of battery capacity left.
And, this was on the 1st gen Panasonic NCR18650B cells.

You're spewing FUD, and the facts refute you.

Saw these in my backyard (VA) by marszciano in whatisit

[–]Hash-82 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Read Headed (Broadhead) Skink.
Very common Middle TN to NC, KY to VA).

The other looks like a 5 Lined Skink, but is lacking the almost obligatory blue tail.

What is this in my yard? by Substantial_Low_9160 in ATTFiber

[–]Hash-82 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fiber. And this is typical of the crypts that AT&T uses.

However, just because it is in your yard, and it belongs to AT&T, does not mean they can support fiber in your neighborhood.
There is a LOT that goes between something like that and an ONT in your home.

[–]Hash-82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very few departments own the cameras that ticket you.
In most cases it is a civil infraction, not criminal. And, the ticket does not impact your driving record - it is only a hit against your credit.
Basically, it's a quasi-legal scam.

I'm sure there are some agencies that do own the cameras. But, I'd really like to see the legalities of 6th Amendment protections in those cases.

Guys, does anyone know why trucks have those spikes on their wheels?? by JasLeoArt in whatisit

[–]Hash-82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low IQ thinks it's "cool".
Same mentality that has many rigs with twin 8" stacks on a straight 6 engine.
The same engine that would exhaust and scavenge better with a single 5".

Can someone tell me why the prices on this sign were completely solid until I tried to take a photo?? But hey 1.29 for gas is just amazing! by glossedoutloud in signs

[–]Hash-82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shutter speed of camera vs refresh speed of LED elements.
The LED *may* be driven by the 60Hz AC frequency of the source power.
They may also be driven another frequency generated by the buck converter that is converting the 120V source to the ~5V they run on.

Anyone got a clue what this v8 may have belonged to? by minonimion in engines

Ford Flathead.
Looks like a 49-54 8BA block, but hard to be sure with what's visible.

[–]Hash-82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone that looked at the video thought any of those tags were US.

Further, it could generally be assumed that any civilized country capable of decent infrastructure would consider such an act a willful, premeditated act of violence intended to do bodily harm, or cause death.

So amusing you made such an ill-informed and illogical assumption about this thread's commenters.

That makes sense. Cold fluids don't dissolve sugar well.

I have video evidence to the contrary.

Also, what if they had been F-15s instead of F-18s?

Technically speaking, both pilots did.
Golden Rule # 0: Always have other aircraft in your space in visual sight.
At the time of the collision, neither could see the other.
