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…wrote on last edited by [email protected]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

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.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]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

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.

My last car was a tiny 20 year old 1.1 shitbox that cost me £300 a year in insurance and cost me £400 in spare parts over 3 years of ownership and I could get 200-250 miles off a £30 tank of petrol but ok. I also had zero incidents driving in all of those years in a car thats most advanced piece of cabin technology was a tape deck.

I’m talking, no oil change, no new tires, even with barely any profile left, no new brakes…Same in the UK. We have an annual MOT tests and even with that some drivers let their cars slide so much.

As a mechanic, you can pay me now to deal with it, or 10x as much if you ignore it.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]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.

My mom's Nissan Juke just started screaming, 'Oh laaadyyy!' whenever she starts it.
Any idea what's going on? It's a '16, only about 40k miles.

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.

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.
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.

What kind of dystopian future is this?
It’s called dystopian present.

Do you follow the suggested service program?
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Of course, I do regular maintenance. Never been to a mechanic for a problem though, only to change oil filters and such

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.
