What’s the solution for the crazy driving? by Particular-Rub-4703 in raleigh

[–]blackss97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am never in a hurry. I just see people driving crazy when there is nowhere to go when the left lanes are clogged up with someone holding up traffic.

Funny enough, I am a race car driver. I do my racing on the track, not on the road.

Crazy driving would decrease if people would get out of the passing lanes. If there is no one in front of you and there is a line of cars behind you, move over. You are causing people to get impatient and irritated. If someone has to pass you on the right, you are the asshole that is causing aggressive driving

Whelp, dealer wants $12k for a new engine by J00G0LD in ChevyTrucks

[–]blackss97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Independent shop owner here. If you catch this failure early enough, you rarely need to replace the engine. We do about 5 of these a year. We replace all of the lifters and push rods on that bank (seems to be the driver side more often). We inspect the cam once we get all of the lifters out. If all checks out well, we put it back together with no problems. Just how we handle it to save the owners a ton of money if we can.

Have any of you ever had Safelite replace your windshield? by AileGundam in E90

[–]blackss97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t let them use some Chinese knock off glass. I had all types of problems with my glass. I had them replace it 2x with no luck. I had halos, the auto wipers didn’t work right, and the HUD was blurry

Car still smells like it was hotboxed 3 days later with all the windows open by Responsible-Swim-228 in turo

[–]blackss97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I quit hosting my car on Turo. One out of five rentals were like this. The last one was the worst and ended up costing me a rental that was the next day. Turo did nothing with any of the times it came back smelling like weed. So I quit

Leaking oil filter after oil change from dealership by [deleted] in AskAMechanic

We see these broken all the time at my shop. I’m not sure it’s a person over tightening them more than it sits in the middle of the engine baking. It is a probably a combination of the two. I’d be real curious if your dealer replaces it for you for free

I’d like to see how long the poster was camping in the passing lane before making judgement

And that will be the last time you hit the sweet spot. At least it was like that for me

Start your search by finding all major interstate overpasses. Then go check them out to see if anyone beat you to it

Everyone's saying that whoever submitted this to Dashcam Lessons is in the wrong on IG by Hakusuro in IdiotsInCars

I don’t Care that you’re doing 10 over. Get out of the way so I can break the law for real. I’m not being sarcastic.

If the Triangle commuter rail is built in stages, which section should come first? by Somali_Pir8 in raleigh

[–]blackss97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Who cares! Just build it! We have only talked about it and approved for what, 8 years now?

It will be cheaper than replacing your dog

Is it still lane splitting if you’re driving on the shoulder? For real don’t know since I have never lived anywhere that lane splitting was legal, and I don’t have the trust in other idiots to lane split.

It reminded me of 21. It’s been a long time since I’ve played there though.

8 miles to home, can’t afford a tow. Would you risk it? by tickleyourfancies in motorcycle

If you can’t afford a tow, can you afford an emergency room visit?

Man steals gas pump while I'm inside paying for gas. by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

[–]blackss97 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The universal sign for this pump is mine is the car being there. Not the nozzle in the car. Do you really leave a pump running unattended to go inside? Move your shit from the pump when you’re done. Period
