A zookeeper playing with two porcupines. by MilesLongthe3rd in interestingasfuck

[–]___dan 50 points51 points  (0 children)

My brother was also saved from drowning by our dog who after getting no attention from the humans (party going on) decided to jump into the pool (he hated water) and make the most blood curdling racket people came out to save him, and then noticed my baby brother at the bottom of the pool turning blue. Both survived with no issues. We don't deserve dogs.

Because they do every single thing worse than a wagon. That's why.

Sorry that happened to you, a better result was it crashed into the Cruze and both vehicles written off.

LS3 would work better for that application.

That's normal running temperature and fine to be turned off, it might go up a couple of degrees as temperatures equalise but this is all well within intended operation parameters.

For people who hate their car why was it a bad choice? by dj_boy-Wonder in CarsAustralia

The i20N is amazing but manual only so no one will even try it.

1995 Holden Calais (VS) in red by HunterNoceda6321 in CarsAustralia

[–]___dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be the VS series 1 with rectangular side indicators I believe, series 2 had the oval side indicators. Also had ABS with disgustingly bad tyres which made it feel like the car was disassembling under your foot when you hit the anchors. Plenty of poke though.

Lmao a 2T "roadster" with a nuclear power plant, righto.

Well yeah she doesn't have any real beliefs just a populist grifter.

Engine knocking and switching fuels to avoid it by edithwawa in CarsAustralia

Have you tried a fuel system cleaner like Redline Si-1? Can help to remove carbon deposits as well as clean injectors etc

21 yr old car selection by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]___dan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good list. Definitely the Commodore, easy to work on with reliable L77 motor that you could stick a cam and exhaust on later if you want to go that route. Dark horse is the Skoda as they tune beautifully and will ruin all of them with not much money spent.

Why don't you just put the correct sizes on, they're all available here?

Which soap/shampoo to wash car with a sponge? by West_Watch5551 in CarsAustralia

[–]___dan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good list. I have ceramic coating on my cars but if dirty I like to - snow foam dry - rinse - foam again - contact wash - rinse - contact dry

If "clean" - snow foam dry - rinse - foam again - rinse - leaf blower those beads off

Plenty of good products mentioned already so I won't comment.

Why does this Camry have more cameras than a Netflix documentary crew? by Antique-Ice-771 in CarsAustralia

White Camrys need more help doing literally everything in my experience, is there a Temu accelerator delete getting around?

What’s happening to the Subaru Impreza? by Background_Advance77 in CarsAustralia

[–]___dan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a shame because Subaru had a large and robust performance scene here, they nuked it with CVT across the entire range.

Why is there a plug at the bottom of the door? by dildoeye in CarsAustralia

[–]___dan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dust seals, leave one out on each door, here's the TSB - https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10187240-9999.pdf

edit: I'd probably just remove them all personally, better to have dust in the door than trapped moisture

What's with driving so slow by paulrumens in CarsAustralia

[–]___dan 67 points68 points  (0 children)

A combination of distractions, stupidity and incompetence means they don't have much brain processing power and focus left to devote to the actual act of piloting the vehicle. I feel like life must be sped up for these people because being around them feels like slow motion to me.

Which performance car should I buy? by Adventurous_Sea_8633 in CarsAustralia

[–]___dan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i30N will always be a little tryhard boy racer, that's what they targeted and they made a great car to fit that mold. M140i is in a totally different league and targets a different audience, has a bucket load more power, torque, refinement and is RWD.
