No noises after 105100km on my Toyota :) (65000 miles for my fellow freedom lemmyers)
Do you follow the suggested service program?
About the same with my vw passat.
my 123541 miles Toyota is purring like a new born baby.
65k is nothing for a Toyota, that car is a baby
I have a 2002 Skoda. I don’t care about new noise. New smells, however…
Being a mechanic helps a little… If auttaa paljon!
New noise stustustustu make fun though
And make wallet go empty faster
Sacramento Police department has a helicopter, Air One, that the department is super proud of. I live in a not-rich neighborhood where Air One likes to hang out and help which sometimes includes shouting inaudibly on the PA. Air One has its own webpage which is sometimes current about what it’s doing, but not always.
Air One also likes to fly low enough that we can hear the thumping of the rotors through our apartments. At 11pm on a school night. We know it doesn’t have to because the rescue choppers zing by quietly on their way.
And lately Air One has gotten, whinier. This loud screeee! that wasn’t their before that makes me think something in the rotors is not sufficiently oiled, or something is about to fall apart. I wonder if Air One is soon going to make an unscheduled landing in my neighborhood.
What kind of dystopian future is this?
It’s called dystopian present.
The future is now.
Air One sees this post as a threat. Air One doesn’t like it one bit. Air One sees you when you are sleeping. Air One also likes watching the Oakland Athletics play and uses crime as an excuse to get the best seat. Air One wants a friend to join them. Air Two is coming to town later. Air One uses a screeching mating call to attract Air Two. Air Two ignored me, Air One Sad.
Tonight I’m at work and roomie texts a video of a water leak probably from the ancient upstairs bathtub faucet…that’s embedded in tile. Fucking tile. FUCK.
The month prior the faucet vibrated loudly when I tried to use it. The plunger failing to seat. Guess it caused a crack.
That’s why I drive an older gmc pickup
Barely ever breaks and when it does it’s stupid simple to work on
Imagine owning a car newer than like 2010 lol that’s for suckers
my cruise control keeps me from crashing into the car in front of me, in the fog. that alone is worth having a car newer than 2015.
You shouldn’t be driving if you rely on stuff like that.
how dare you use safety features
If you need an assist to not go straight into a car in front of you you’re objectively a bad driver lol. If its foggy AF you slow down.
if you legitimately need me to explain to you how to use adas, i’d be delighted. y’all just be getting in arguments because you’re upset i pay less for gas, insurance, repairs, and just about everything else for my car than you.
That doesn’t happen to me. Useless feature. My truck has 330000 kms on it and I’ve never crashed except offroading lol
My parents have new vehicles and these things are more distracting than they are useful
Literally all cruise control needs to do is maintain speed and be easily turned off
It’s just a slight rattling, what could go wrong if I ignore it for a while?
The front fell off
That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
Just turn the music up
I finally fixed the radio in my truck so I don’t have to listen to the piston slap!
Literally me dealing with my car’s worsening exhaust lean
My car in high school did this and I used a coat hanger. Worked really well until it didn’t.
Cars are sentient beings that have gained ascension through acceptance of their fate. Humans should be killed to liberate the cars.
Makes sense to me, I know my Disney movies
I read cat instead of car and was confused about the sad dog.
sad dog.
Pink Panther: am I a joke to you?
I’m so used to seeing car be used instead of cat I totally missed the point
Good thing I have a bike. My car broke down like 4 years ago, been biking since. People scare me, so I don’t have places to be.
new my bike makes new noises
The violent rumbling is actually a relaxing massage.
ahh, my butt needed a glrbl on the wrbls
As a Petrolhead, new noises mean “I hope thats a part I want an excuse to need to spend money on.”
Really, yes it needs brake pads and rotors, but thats like $300. For $300 I got a set of calipers, near new rotors and barely used pads off a facebook group member breaking a higher spec model, then spent another $200 on braided brake lines because its basically no more work if I’m doing the calipers anyway.
