>car made past 2008

One day I dreamed I was driving in some high-end wealthy neighborhood and i lost control of my car and crashed into a line of expensive cars (Ferrari, Maserati, etc) and totaled all of them and the insurance company wouldn't pay up.

I woke up in a cold sweat and I thanked the Lord I live in the middle of nowhere and have never been in an at-fault accident.

Codependent suspension.
One wheel is always doing something wrong/harmful, other wheel goes along.

>>16973869

YOu must understand this, and forever revel in the factual basis

Socket Head Cap Screws are the best and only useful fastener ever invented.

The only thing worse thsn TORX is revers TORX socket

It's like you want the CIA to murder you

>>16974844
I personally like the idea of electromechanical power steering, because then you have less load on the engine. Only problem is, they digitize shit so it's unsafe.

Have you even driven a modern manual car before? They all have terrible throttle lag which makes starting off a pain, and changing gears typically results in slight over-revs for every gear.

>>16974249
Get an $89 welder from Harbor Freight and fabricate a new frame section.

Electro-mechanical still loads the engine.

>>16977414
Driving behind some random /o/ user's shoddy welding at 80 is pretty relevant to the thread topic.

Once I crashed into a car and majorly fucked it up. There was no doubt it was my fault. The car was unregistered, with no insurance, and I had no license.

I woke up in a cold sweat then a sense of irrational satisfaction that I escaped a major fuckup only because I was asleep and that it didn't actually happen.

that's pretty cool. i knew of a few aftermarket rearviews that do a backup camera built into the mirror like this

>>16973201
Once dreamt i murdered somebody who broke into my car with a screwdriver buried him in a forest and went home to sleep. Woke up in the same clothes i went to sleep in my dream with. Was pretty spooked the day after
