@Tago-Mago You definitely want some work done as where the control arm mounts is rusted through and is going to cause you major issues if it breaks when you're driving...

[Matt]

Yeah, that shot there is what you call “fucked.” Assuming it’s a slightly older car it’s probably totaled. Time for a Porsche.

@Matt Is that the “adjuster” terminology used in the industry?

Wear and tear… Not covered!

Two years ago I fell asleep while driving on the highway. It was a long journey. The bump stop saved the day. Otherwise I would have gone into the oncoming road. And maybe I haven’t talked to you anymore)

[steelworker]

Whoa, buddy! You walked away?

@Tago-Mago how are the winters where you live? A lot of snow and ice on the road? That looks like the result of the salt solution they use here in Norway to keep the roads clear of ice.

It’s a very devisive issue here as it does huge damage to private properly (the cars), while there is a question mark around its effectiveness with regards to increasing road safety.

@Walery-Smirnoff happy (new) birthday

After 30 meters the barrier ended and there was an open oncoming lane with heavy traffic. It was the Kazan - Nizhny Novgorod highway. I definitely wouldn't collect the bones. Guys, don't sleep at the wheel!)

@neph93 same here in terms of salt. They basically cover the roads at the first sign of frost/ice/snow. But they use actual salt, no solution

With the amount of corrosion I am amazed the car passed its MOT last October! This was also another reminder that having a company car is a huge privilege for a number of reasons, even though our dumb finance minister vehemently disagrees. I call someone, they fix my car, provide me with a replacement for the duration and my employer pays.

Does anyone else hate things being described as “fire” or using the to describe something ??
I find it to be fucking annoying.

[Tago Mago]

That’s nice @Giles

[popvulture]

@Mizmazzle not as much as people saying something “fucks.”

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture I’ve never heard that one. But it annoys me already.

I will never understand why people get fidgety on a plane as soon as it has touched down. Are they planning to leave half way down the runway?

[popvulture]

@Mizmazzle hahaha I’m sorry to have exposed you to it

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture and on a Friday morning too!! Haha
