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.
As a mechanic, you can pay me now to deal with it, or 10x as much if you ignore it.
It would help if there wasn’t a tendency for mechanics to fleece people who don’t understand cars. When I looked like a young woman, huge difference in the way I was treated - I needed to bring my dad.
Hell, the entire industry seems to be built on fleecing people. My stepdad was a finance guy for dealerships and he would fuck over anyone, friends and family included.
I’d love to opt out of car ownership entirely, but that’s literally the only way I can get to work. Need to pay a dickload to maintain the thing that gets me paid.
As a “mechanic” myself, I can say: many people mean, if we wouldn’t have the TÜV (car inspection) every 2 years in Germany, they would neglect so much! I’m talking, no oil change, no new tires, even with barely any profile left, no new brakes…
Ist das beim TÜV auch gestaffelt, dass Neuwagen noch nicht so oft müssen?
Bei uns in der Schweiz ist es typischerweise so 5, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2 Jahre. Aber wie immer sind wir zu föderalistisch, als dass es einheitlich wäre
Ehrlich gesagt bin ich mir nicht sicher, weil ich nur alte Autos fahre (jüngstes Baujahr 2012). Nach Recherche würde ich aber sagen: Ja, man muss auch mit Neuwagen alle 2 Jahre zum TÜV.
Same in the UK. We have an annual MOT tests and even with that some drivers let their cars slide so much.
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.

New noises don't bother me. The amount of things that can shake rattle and roll (it's a mess but it's all tools and things I need for work) means a new sound pops up every week.
It's the new slightly different vibration that sketches me out.
Ever so slightly up/down vibration that you can barely feel when you get to 70? Congrats, next week when you drive to work you'll hit a bump at 15 and the whole ~~front~~ bottom falls off. And now you have 3 other problems because drive shafts start flying all over and smashing into things when they break.
No, I love vehicle ownership and definitely wouldn't prefer to relax on high speed rail for 20 minutes with a rolling bag/tool box or literally any other form of mass transit...
I always get sketched about the vibrations from my Kia when driving over 120, but I keep saying to myself it's just that the car wasn't designed to go fast 😅
I too get sketched out when a Kia gets up to 120.
Because we're both about to get a ticket for speeding.
I should probably specify I'm using km/h to measure speed, I've been afraid to do anything past 140 (87mph).
I don't think the pigs around here care about speeding though...
140 (87mph).
I'm sure there are cars where I wouldn't feel a thing and all that, but mine would shake itself apart.
120/75 is my limit, and honestly my truck shouldn't be going over 90/55 because it loses the tiny bit of efficiency it has.

Yeah you start hearing the vortex in the tank
They care here, a little too much. I meant mph lmao
That is just tires out of balance.
Or an axle failing
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.
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
New noise stustustustu make fun though
And make wallet go empty faster
I have a 2002 Skoda. I don't care about new noise. New smells, however...
The violent rumbling is actually a relaxing massage.
ahh, my butt needed a glrbl on the wrbls
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

No noises after 105100km on my Toyota :) (65000 miles for my fellow freedom lemmyers)
65k is nothing for a Toyota, that car is a baby
my 123541 miles Toyota is purring like a new born baby.
About the same with my vw passat.

Your car is trying to entertain you every day with a new noise
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.
Had this happen recently. Turned out to be a stick that was wedged up into the hub and rubbing on the wheel. But then in the process of removing the stick I found that the wheel was fused to the brake drum and no amount of kicking or banging on it with a sledge would knock it loose. Waiting for a dry weekend to take a more aggressive approach to dealing with that problem...
Being a mechanic helps a little.. If auttaa paljon!
I'm so used to seeing car be used instead of cat I totally missed the point
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.
I read cat instead of car and was confused about the sad dog.
sad dog.
