That pilot bearing puller is pretty slick, but it’ll work better if you can hook into those reliefs instead of cranking down extra hard on the tool for grip.

Sure is! Didn’t do a thing for the faded paint, unfortunately. Neither did polish. “Laser Red” more like Laser Pink haha. Read more

The first time I waxed my car after buying it used, I found something that I hadn’t noticed before: the faint outline of where a dealer decal/badge used to be. Somebody must have left it on long enough for the paint to start fading around it. It was still (barely) legible. You’ll never notice it unless you go over the… Read more

Very realistic. Although to be fair, most of these don’t have enough pixels for me to find the uncanny valley. The CG would probably be more obvious upon zooming in. Read more

Great song, but I can’t watch videos like this without overanalyzing the knocking and steam and trying to figure out what was wrong with the car. Read more

See, when you said “people don’t read”, I thought you were referring to reading this here Jalopnik article, or one of the provided NYT or Splinter links, where the information would be readily available. But none of them mentioned anything about the brakes. The… Read more

The brakes weren’t upgraded to take account of the significant extra weight of the vehicle and additional occupants. That was the mechanical fault, and it was the cause of his losing control on the downhill to the stop sign and then running it. That, among other things, was why it had failed its inspection.

So it was indeed a problem with the brakes... I didn’t see that. Got a link? Read more

Still looking for the article that states it was the brakes that failed. Got a link? Read more

I thought it was common practice to upgrade the brakes. I could have sworn they did that in hearses... seems like they would do at least that much in limos, no? Read more
