Yeah I think my header gaskets blew again. Atleast the driver side must of. Gay tranny is randomly sleeping every month or so. I don't understand because all I pull is a quad...

Can't believe Paul Walker passed though.. Radio said there was a power steering fluid trail leading up to where they crashed.

Lol I don't use exhaust manifold gaskets. I just have the manifold machined when I take it off. I've got a leak on my downpipe though... Probably gonna get headers.

A Porsche crashed and burst into flames and no one bats an eye. Three Tesla Model S sedans strike objects (with enough force to have destroyed an ICE powered vehicle), warn the driver to exit the vehicle, and minutes later are engulfed in a slowly building fire -- and people want to scream about how dangerous electric vehicles are.

Then I was like "Why can't he pick a name and stay with it?"
I got a transmission and axles for it. Axles are at a buddies house right now. I want to get it up and driving then I am gonna be putting all new gaskets on the top end of the motor. Been leaking stuff for a while now. After that more lift bigger tires and have a good running truck. May eventually do a motor swap but that's down the road a ways. And as for the dart well I decided to rear end someone on the highway. Traffic came to a stop and the guy in front of me brushed the rear of someone and I just couldn't stop in time. So that's in the shop now. Letting insurance fight all the upcoming my back and neck hurt battles

The third Tesla S to catch fire in the last 2 months was about 50 miles from me. Apparantly, the guy ran over a tow hitch that was in the road and punctured the battery pack. He was able to pull off the road and get out, but the front of the car ended up melting into I-24. I'm not sure how high the damage estimate would be if one of our trucks hit a tow hitch that fell out out someone's pickup, but I'm fairly certain it would be less than the $120k loss this guy had!

The loss may have been greater; however, people (in general) have been claiming Tesla vehicles to be fire dangers. Ford sure managed to start quite a few fires with faulty cruise control systems, and that's just one example off the top of my head.

We are never going to go backwards towards simple, easy to work on, and long lasting automobiles, so I don't even pay attention to this kind of stuff. I will keep buying old cheap projects. Dub you are the only reason I even know anything about this.
