i was driving one day and needed to stop abruptly to avoid an accident and my brake pedal just went straight to the floor, nearly died. i thought initially it was the brake pump, but then someone said maybe its the brake line, ran out of fluid or some shit, or maybe a (((squirrel))) chewed through it, because apparently that happens and happened to someone they knew.

how would i tell the difference?
i managed to get home somehow, but only because i live in the middle of nowhere. i only get the one tow from my insurance and if im gonna tow it i need to know if i can even afford to repair it first otherwise i gotta pay to tow it back and its just for nothing.

so any way to determine this and get and get a good idea of the damage?

The pedal going to the floor usually means a brake line burst. It happens. They rust. The first thing you do is -
>>28912199
The fuck man? You just let it sit for a year because of a blown brake line? It's not a hard fix. Just get it on a lift. You NEED it on a lift OP. You don't wanna be pissing around under the vehicle fora brake job, it makes it a lot hard and take a lot more time. Anyway fill the brake fluid resevoir, and pump the brakes to find out where it burst. If it's a line or a connection just make a new one. If it's a caliper just replace the caliper.

the possibility there was a line hadnt occurred to me at the time. when it happened, i conceived it as being some bellows sort of mechanism or instrument, and as with a puncture or tear, no long could retain the air and thus was unable to draw air to pump the brake

but youre telling me it could be something else entirely, i can jack the car up. might even have brake fluid too. so if i apply it and nothing leaks, then what?

Tesla did fine when they created and rode the initial boom. Teslas are mostly bought by normies who don't have opinions what a good or even decent car should be like. Now Tesla is slowly dying because their lack of updating their lineup and Elon wanting it to be a robotics or ai company. Hyundai/Kia, the Chinese and VAG and Renault at least in Europe are leaving Tesla behind.

How does the "gigacast", single piece body affect repairability in case of a crash?
>>
>>28911790
https://www.industryarsenal.com/p/gigacastings-save-on-vehicle-repairs

Its cheaper overall to repair over the lifetime of a car.
Its safer overall for driver as the gigacast protects drivers from certain death in crash. Tesla is consistently #1 safety i both active physical material safety and passive software safety, on both points Tesla ranks #1, combined its just leagues ahead of everything.

What sporty cars should I test drive today?

Some of the ones I've already tried:
Likes:
**330i ZHP + Z3 Coupe*** (sublime)
Z3 roadster
996 (heavenly chassis. Too bad about the lack of low-end torque. Also paddle shifters can kiss my ass. The manual is so much better)
Early Boxster S.
Crossfire SRT-6. (For an automatic it's a lot of fun)
Audi A4

Meh:
Z4 sDrive35i

You actually just stick the nozzle in, pull the handle until it clicks into place, and wait for it to turn off? I don't even touch the bike with the nozzle, I hold it just far enough away that I can see the gas shooting into the tank, then I wait until I can see the gas level rising to the level I want it at.

My right windshield wiper went out on my dumbass car about 10 month ago, and it isn't usually a problem. Today, my drivers side windshield wiper went out also went out. What would even cause that to happen in the first place?
>>
>>28912113
Have you done anything? Anything you’ve tried to do yoi can tell us or you want a essay on what to check like a child…

Electrical Issues: Check the WIPER Fuse and WIPER/WASHER Fuse first; if intact, test the wiper motor for 12V power at the connector to rule out electrical failure.
Mechanical Failure: If the motor hums but the wiper does not move, the issue is likely a stripped spline on the wiper arm shaft or a broken linkage in the cowl assembly.
Switch Malfunction: A faulty Front Wiper Switch can also cause intermittent operation or complete failure to activate.

I'm not a car guy. I've moved both of them around manually, and then when I flip the swich, they SOUND like they want to move, but they don't. Like I said, they both stopped moving around the same time at different times.

Pretty sure they both stopped moving when we had a deep freeze, but they've both held up before.

I personally have a 2025 low rider S but I really like the dyna and the sportster.

As for OP, I would recommend any of those (dyna, sportster, soft tail) over the shadow. The shadow is a good bike but the real issue is that there are very limited aftermarket parts to customize it with such as seats, fairings, windshields, etc. whereas there is a VERY large aftermarket for all the harley brands.

Caveat to all this, of course, is if you want to just keep it bone stock and want to pay as little as possible - in that case the shadow is definitely fine.

Should i get a 2-12nm torque wrench? What applications does it have?
4 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>28910742
I have one (it's in inch-pounds, since I'm from Freedomstan) that I use exclusively for setting preload on pinion bearings. I rebuild a lot of rear diffs for C/K trucks, so it is a necessary tool. It's one of those tools that you rarely need, but when you do, it is necessary to avoid destroying whatever you're working on.

We talking 1/4 drive or a screwdriver torque wrench?
Both are useful for tiny stuff.

Yeah that's the style I use. If it's noisy, pop the cover off and check it again with your needle gauge. Something is off if it's noisy, unless you have a truetrac or Detroit locker, and even then they're fairly quiet.

when you consider the price you pay for each, they are more comparable than you think.

base suburban (60k min) vs base minivan(38k), if you are using it solely for hauling kids around, is not worth an extra $20k. the gains come in with all the “truck stuff” like tow capacity and 4wd and a V8, which again, if you’re using it just as child transport, makes little sense to spend extra money on unless you plan to keep it forever

Do those fuel additives that claim to clean injectors and shit actually work?
15 replies and 3 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
I only use these things when acquiring a new vehicle or if something has sat for a significant amount of time.

Usually put a heavy concentration of PEA into 1/4 a tank of gas, and then get one of those $5 bottles of oil flush, a $10 jug of cheap new oil, and then $25 jug of the synthetic oil I want to use, along with cheap then desired filter. I change the oil with the cheap oil and drive it around for half an hour with the oil flush additive in (diesel?), then change the oil again with the stuff I want to use. Outside of doing this, in a vehicle that drives fine that always has fresh gas going through it, it's kind of pointless to ever buy a bottle of that shit.
>>
I am of the opinion that all fuel additives are bullshit. You add it to the tank and it's like 2 parts per million of the detergent or whatever. Even if you soaked your valves in pure heated detergent I doubt it would do much.
Some of them will ruin your cat supposedly.
A few drops of MMT isn't going to make your gas 110 octane, fuel injector cleaner won't do jack shit, and any other "engine cleaner" is total bull except seafoam through the intake vacuum and that's questionable itself.
If you have water in your fuel, maybe fix the cause instead of adding an expensive band aid.

Valves looked exactly like that.

Normal injection just does that on its own
>>
>>28909046
yes and no.
they often work by adding alcohol and isopropanol, both are water mixable. so they clear out water and dirt in your fuel system. modern fuel is already alcohol mixed so why bother?
for diesel, the lowest grade is usually the best burning. offroad diesel stores for years, nato grade diesel, f34 or whatever they call it, it stores for decades but it makes your rig run like crap. most diesel injector cleaners is just crap they dont work.
