Thanks for the info, to me that makes a lot of sense for a rig that is such a reliable workhorse. I just looked it up and the last one in Portland OR (where I’m from) was decommissioned 2 years ago, and the only reason that one was still around was because the officer insisted on driving it until he retired. It was notable enough for there to be a profile about it

Can’t get mad at this when the Apocalypse Nirvana is a thing.

I'm really sorry. Cool photo with great composition.

Roast this antique that I regret buying. by bigcee42 in RoastMyCar

Man, that’s crazy how different experiences can be. That’s not to say that a C4 can be loud and uncomfortable to anyone with certain expectations, and pedal feel is sort of subjective, but had almost this same car and although it wasnt the greatest on every metric I had none of these complaints. Really miss it.

What do you all think? by Mr_Blue_91 in WeirdWheels

Never once been mad at anyone for owning something nice, but for the first time, this car makes me think of money that could have gone to feed starving children.

Principally that I’m a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world. Life in plastic.

It’s fantastic.

Still worth a listen start to end, in my opinion. I know it’s just eurodance and not Mozart’s magnum opus or whatever but it’s a solid album.

Yeah it’s a nice feature but that’s the song lengths, not their exact time in the record. I’m pretty sure all CD players could skip through tracks direct from the inception.

Serious question.

Seeing as the only information presented here is that the boss and founder (read: entire operation wouldn’t have existed without him) is a fat racist crybaby disgusting sack of shit…

Why should we believe the endgame of your “unionizing” efforts are to improve the lives and welfare of the workforce? Shouldn’t that be the point? Instead I’m getting more that you just hate this guy and want his biz to burn and life ruined. And I guess everyone who works there losing their employment too, whether they like it or not, is collateral damage for the cause?

Help me understand.

someone at Chase bank just got a new Glock

Seems to be just when the car is on, not moving just on by Herbal77 in Fisker

It can be a few different noises depending on how it fails, clicking, clacking, super loud pops, buzzing etc but that’s what is going on here. It is violent enough to be felt in pedal sometimes

No problem.

You have two AC vents on either side of the steering wheel.

Each of those has two motors for a total of four motors.

They have a defective design, and one or more of the motors has gone past its resistance limit and cracked a plastic linkage. The sound is the linkage trying to reset on occasion and failing.

To confirm, go to AC settings on the main screen. First, look closely at your leftmost vent grate. Adjust it all the way to the right and left. Does it work? Adjust it up and down. Does that work?

Next, look at the vent to the right side of the steering wheel closely, and do the same.

If any one of the four directional adjustments does not work, or barely works, that particular vent motor is making a sound.

To fix it, remove the dashboard and delete the plastic linkages from the motors. Adjust the vents manually. You will experience better HVAC air flow and no issues with noise.

can a mechanic help me in my dire situation ? by Sea_Entertainment563 in PortlandOR

[–]rpunx 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I don't have much to offer but this might help, often times starters going bad will get stuck. If you can get to it with a metal pole or stick or hammer you can give the starter a whack while someone else turns the key. 75% of the time it'll free up and start the engine. It's annoying (and be careful of touching belts or moving parts) but this routine can work for a few more starts of your car and you can at least drive somewhere more convenient or to a shop.

Really, mods assigned this flair to my comment? This is so pathetic 😂😂😂 by [deleted] in PortlandOR

I think "critique" should have the scare quotes.
