    Auto Technician Compensation

    The upside is that it's easier to conduct national security operations in sanctuary cities. Serbrenica was a sanctuary city. Of course I hope you will have orderly deportations, and not what happened there.

    Where is the modern mini-truck?

    I saw several US states are also banning registration of Kei cars, because it's "unsafe". Meanwhile motorcycles are perfectly safe.

    2021 Nissan Kicks Rear Brake Noise

    If it only happens when cold, when going in reverse the first time, and you had it checked already I would not worry about. My civic does the exact same thing, but it is a squeak. I know the brakes are working fine I just ignore it. If it is a knocking noise, then it's different, and pads are...

    2024 iseecars vehicle safety study the 23 most dangerous cars on the road

    If a pickup collides with a small car obviously the damage to the small car will be greater and there will be greater chance of death. If the statistic is being involved in a deadly crash we will see both large and small cars. If the statistic is for which car the death occurs in, it will be...

    Old vs. new tire tech

    Haven't watched this video, but his video on tire wear was really good. According to Continental the type of vehicle, your driving style and the type of roads are bigger factors affecting wear than the type of tire you are using.

    Cybertruck experience...

    Elon is currently ingratiating himself with the new US government. Perhaps we will soon see cybertrucks patrolling the US borders? Once the early-adopters get their cybertrucks, the sales will slow. This is a powerplay he could make to keep cybertrucks rolling off the assembly line.

    Are winter tires "worth it"?

    It must have 3PMSF, but isn't marketed as winter. But since it has 3PMSF it meets the definition of a winter tire, and you can use it places that require winter tires like Quebec.

    Are EVs the death of the performance ICE market?

    Most EVs are not even marketed against performance ICE. They are marketed as general luxury cars. Performance ICE could get smaller, but it will always be there. They are essentially toy cars that people buy for the driving experience, and EVs cannot replicate the experience of driving with a...

    Cybertruck experience...

    Elon is a genius. If he produces a bad product, it's not because he made a mistake, he's just trolling, or there is some secret reason we don't understand.

    Bridgestone Alenza A/S 02

    Interesting. Bridgestone tires are not cheap though. If you wanted to buy Alenza as a replacement, they are among the most expensive tires. When the OEM wants to cheap out they usually go with something like Toyo with 300 treadwear rating. I was shocked when I saw those as OE on Toyota.

    Why do the new spark plug threads look like that? Is that anti-seize or thread damage?

    Tesla Model 3 vs BMW M3 video

    They are probably focusing on the Chinese market now. I am guessing people there find it appealing, along with the new 7 series.

    Cybertruck experience...

    It is a status symbol. Instead of driving a normal car or truck you can afford to drive this 3 ton monstrosity. Yes, there are more expensive cars, but not many this attention grabbing. Musk also said that if anybody gets in an accident with you, you automatically win in a cybertruck. It is...

    Xiaomi CEO Claims SU7 Ultra Is Over 20 Seconds Faster Than Porsche Taycan Turbo GT At The Ring

    Could be a change in strategy from Xiaomi, since it's much harder to produce a car from surplus parts and they brag about how much money they spent. In automotive manufacturing and engineering it is normal for a lot of things to be outsourced like those Brembo brakes. That's how a cellphone...

    Xiaomi CEO Claims SU7 Ultra Is Over 20 Seconds Faster Than Porsche Taycan Turbo GT At The Ring

    At the moment it is being sold only in China as far as I know.

    Why are some OEM parts only as remanufactured?

    Probably cost of manufacturing vs rebuilding. Control arms are really cheap to make vs axles and alternators. If it was cheaper to make a new alternator why would anybody bother rebuilding one?
