I went and bought car soap for the first time in a while.I couldn't believe the packaging, they got rid of the carry handle? For what fucking purpose, other than the fact I assume its cheaper to make? Gotta extend those shareholder profits.Seriously, I was in Wal-Mart for a quick errand and wanted to grab this and other item, the entire time walking around my hand was starting to camp with this shit "indent" they supposed to work but fails. When I go to the car wash, I grab the soap and when there dump it in a wash bucket, everything made harder and awkward due to this flawed design. You can't GRIP SHIT. Now I gotta go to the hassle of dumping this soap into the older bottle with a proper handle?I even found an image for this comparing products. The fuck is the deference recycle wise, they are both plastic?Meguiars isn't the only brand doing this, I also saw a RainX bottle like this too.Sorry but I had a long day, I'm miserable, and this little shitty aspect of the bottle design pissed me the fuck off.Maybe I'll go buy Mothers soap next time, they still care about a good bottle design.
>>28970345Try grabbing it and see what happens, eventually the bottle is going to crumple and fall out of your grip.>>28970362Wrong, the second bucket is for discarding used towels. Start with 6 folded towels soaked in the first bucket, one towel per side of the car, one extra for the end. Flip them around exposing fresh sides as you wipe, finish by using the towel to clean a wheel and dump it in the used bucket. Launder the towels and replace yearly.T. owner of two soul crystal red mazdas.
>>28970395>>28970395>Not one person prototypes the shit they sell any longerThey do, the goal they were optimizing for is to use the space where the handle used to be to hold liquid so they could shrink the size of the bottle and to make the bottle thinner so they could save 2 cents in plastic and fit an extra bottle per carton. By doing so they will save $10 million dollars per year and inconvenience thousands of people just so the CEO can get a 20k bonus payout and the shareholders get one extra penny per share. They know the goyslaves will continue to buy it for a while, just long enough for the CEO to bail and for the shareholders to take profits so it's ok.
>>28970525that's just how i heard it from top gear
>>28970345>It still has a handle it just doesn't have the hole through it.That's not a fucking handle it's a plastic intent.>t. Work somewhere that retails themIf you stock shelves, it's easier to grab something like that with a proper handle, vs whatever shit they have now with the indent. The bottle is a complete failure, backwards progress.>>28970362Wow retard thanks I didn't know how to wash a car. You completely missed the point of this thread.>>28970378I could likely be your dad, fuckstick.>hold it from the bottomYeah cause that makes sense.>>28970395Comment too long.

>>28969924or if you go thru so much product/matters to you that much, you'd just pour it into another bottle and move on?>I couldn't believe the packaging, they got rid of the carry handle? For what fucking purpose, other than the fact I assume its cheaper to make? probably, but also tighter packing, less volume, maybe stronger bottle design improvements too.they probably don't make their own bottles, either.
you're buying a weekend car, which one you taking, why?

I replaced my upper control arms 2-3 years ago. I did my brakes recently and saw the rubber housing around the joints are completely fucked on both sides. The ball joint and arm are integrated so I can't just replace the ball. My question is did I fuck up when I replaced them or is this just a shitty part? Like is there any way I could have installed them that would have caused this rapid degradation of the housing? Maybe they were supposed to be installed under pressure or under no pressure and I did the wrong one causing them to wear out prematurely?
Never forget.These are the "people" chirping online about the absolute superiority of their dublwishies. "yeah man, i replaced the upper control arms and the car handles so much better now! you can really feel it!" - >>28970335 ProbablyAbsolute Cinema de la Wrenchlet!

>>28970451It will never happen. They have already moved the date and will do so again. Without infrastructure it can't be done, and car companies will butter the parnsips of the government and all will be forgotten
>>28970728They haven't moved the date at all. Car companies are fine with selling EVs. Infrastructure is already spread in Europe and is only expanding, unlike hydrogen for instance. Norway has already achieved 98% EV for new cars and various other countries are past 50%.

just inherited my dad's 2003 Montero Sport. 200k miles, runs great,gas mileage sucks,things that slide and turn feel sticky or are about to break.Best I can get for it is 2k-3k, which seems insignificant given the memories.What should I do with it br/o/s?

>>28968765Depends on the chink, my sister's linglongs had no traction in the wet but my god those rocks lasted like 3 years, and we got the car used with em so we don't even know how long they were on or the mileage they had.

>>28969776These are really popular among home schooling ultra conservative Christians There’s like four at the co-op we use for our kids. We’re only at four kids right now so our traverse is fine, but we’re thinking of moving up to the express at five, since it’s already annoying when we’re doing stuff with our parents to take two cars
>>28970129You can drive one of these and a 30k lb trailer behind it right after passing your road test in a Smart Car. Some states and provinces make you get an air brake endorsement (which is just a 10 question online test) but some will let you slide with just a NOT FOR HIRE sticker. A little scary but hey freedom ain't free.
It would be cool if they made vans that weren't horrible and shitty. Like actually new and decent interiors and drove ok.
>>28969834Nigger I'll pull up to a nice restaurant in a rusty squarebody, I literally do not give a fuck.
>>28969776nobody who buys a 3 row SUV is transporting the full 8 people. they’re moving 5 and the kids car seat makes it a little tricky to fit 3 in the second row. any additional space is superfluous, plus your wife really wants that ipad dash.
