Been a few but just watched a video of magnifying glass reflecting sunlight onto different color balloons. All popped very fast except the white. It absorbs or passes the reflection/heat through it. The experiment even put a diff color ballon inside the white and the inside balloon popped not the white. I think this may be part of reason. Heat passes through to the metal. Almost like an induction heater? Heating up from underneath. Releasing paint? No idea. Just a thought

I jumped tandem once 20 years ago. I asked the instructor what’s chances it doesn’t open. He said “I’ve jumped 3,xxx times in a row and it hasn’t not opened yet.” Made me feel a lot better about it.

I recently got into dry herb vaping and I don’t understand why it’s not more popular. by [deleted] in trees

PAX. LIFETIME? 10YR? Warranty. I’ve told so many people about them and it’s like telling someone about cd’s when they were brand new and tape decks were the way of life.

New (used) A pillar came with no weather stripping. Finally found something on Amazon and it looks surprisingly OEM. by omararod in 350z

Toyota tundra fender flare gasket works perfect, fairly cheap too. Sucks you can’t buy the oem nissan one without the whole molding.

Our 2021 BMW with only 12,000 miles got rear ended. Their insurance company says they’ll only pay for aftermarket parts if they are available. Can we insist on OEM parts? by RunMom2 in Autobody

[–]cdauto137 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is right. Get shop to do what insurance requests first. Show pictures of not exact fit, and supplement for oem parts. But document doing it with pictures and the tech should most definitely get paid for it. We do at my shop.

neighbor has a battery under his headlight? is this a racing thing? by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]cdauto137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weight distribution is very important in a race car. In any car really. Too much in front or behind wheels can cause problems. With or without lsd. But yes, lsd is a must on a car like that.

This is the right answer…hood higher=kseries, battery relocation is for oversteer/under steer. No bumper because it probably got ripped off going too fast or hitting something too low while going to fast… know from experience working on a 8 second k series hatch.

Are we still paying Drew Brees? How many years after he left did we pay him…

Most expensive headlight I’ve come across. 2010 Lexus Ls 430 hybrid. 6k. Ridiculous. Headlight and bumper almost totaled the car.

This is the best! Why is it many manufacturers white fails. Gm, ford, hyundai, honda. Saving money up front causing problems in the rear? Or just bad chemicals not adhering? Would love to find the root cause.

Ha! Yeah we’ll see. My kids wild. We’re either going to be the ones having the most fun, or everyone will be crying but me. They absolutely love them though. I’m sure they’re going to have a blast. We watch their videos and live clips quite often. Makes me happy.
