5 Of The Dumbest Things People Brought To The Auto Shop

It's common to hear horror stories about people who have had terrible experiences with mechanics. Complaints about being swindled, cheated, over overcharged are common, but what about mechanics who have had to deal with dumb customers? Some people deal with car troubles their own way, ignoring warnings from their vehicle or using duct tape to fix the problem, leaving mechanics scratching their heads. There's the Problem The owner of this Volkswagen Jetta came to the conclusion that they were dealing with an air leak, so they wrapped their airflow meter and intake hose with tape. It wasn't duct tape and easily removed, but the mechanic wasn't happy about having to fiddle with this. #1 Gliding on the Highway Turning on this tire must have been like riding a slip and slide. Driving on a completely worn tire is more than dangerous, as they are easily punctured or can cause a loss of of vehicle control (braking, spin outs, etc.). #2 More Cowbell If this was a prank: genius.

6 Breathtaking Out-Of-This-World Photos

We live in a beautiful, vast world full of wonders we have yet to discover. For most of us, the only exposure we will have to these wonders is through the shared experiences of those around us. These pictures are awe-inspiring. They remind us of how small we are, yet somehow give us a sense of connectedness and belonging. We all share the same planet. #1 The Fukang Meteorite via reddit/u/ turdmalone #2 The shadows that clouds cast over the earth from space via reddit/u/ 1Voice1Life #3 Kayaking near lava in Hawaii via reddit/u/ tek0011 #4 Thor's Well in Oregon via reddit/u/ blazik #5 Footprints from a monk who prayed in the same spot for 20 years via reddit/u/ Juankestein #6 How lighting and angles change your face via reddit/u/ pretendparades source

6 Drivers You Don't Want To Share The Road With

Image
When you think about it, it's amazing that we as humans have adapted to driving at all. The idea that an average citizen can be trusted with a metal box capable of traveling over 100 miles an hour would boggle the minds of our ancestors, but it's taken for granted today. Yet for some people, that level of comfort can turn into something more dangerous: carelessness. Whether they're drinking, texting or just not paying attention to their surroundings, people who don't take driving seriously can threaten their own safety and that of others. So, for the next time you're wondering why there are so many PSAs about impaired or distracted driving, here are 16 reminders. 1. It didn't take this drunk driver long to learn the meaning of "instant karma." via  reddit /  t_11 2. This person is going 75 miles per hour. Also, just in case the picture seems hypocritical, the photographer is in the back seat. via  reddit /  [deleted] 3. This isn't an abandoned van,

#1. Giant Solar Flares NASA predicts a massive 2013 solar flare will fire towards the globe. We all love the sun, but this flame thrower is waiting to hurl unprecedented levels of magnetic energy at us. A major solar flare would drown the earth with high energy particles and radiation. The results of such an overexposure to cosmic energy would be lethal. Take a lesson from the bee, when you mess with magnetic energy, you’re asking for trouble. A giant solar flare could impact each of our individual brain activity. With additional natural disasters triggered, global power outages, and inevitable wide-spread panic, you may want to stock up on some 5 Hour Energy shots. This will be no time for a foggy head. #2. Soaring Sea Levels A steady increase in the planet's temperature will result in melting huge glaciers. Sea levels will rise and result in dangerous flooding of coasts across the globe. And that's just with modest glacial melting. If the West Antarctic Ice Sheet were to go d

Dodge Challenger R/T Redline Heads to 2013 Chicago Auto Show

Image
Dodge announced it will offer the “Redline” package in its R/T V8 model. This package was previously restricted to the V6 Challenger. The Challenger R/T Redline will debut at the Chicago Auto Show next week. The car is powered by a 5.7-L HEMI V8 which produces 375 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. That power is sent to the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic with wheel-mounted paddle shifters and a selectable “sport” mode. The redline package had made its debut last year at the New York Auto Show on the V6 model. The package mixed with V8 power brings the same 20-inch wheels along with other performance enhancements. These include a stiffened suspension, bigger brakes, re-calibrated steering and a host of appearance tweaks. The wheels feature a thin red stripe around the outer edge that matches similar stripes outlining a thick red line running over the car. The only difference, apart from the obvious engine change, is that this car doesn’t seem t

Swedish Tuners Create Dodge Viper Powered Saab 9-3

Image
Check out this car, a Dodge Viper with a Saab 9-3 stationwagon body on top, proving that anything is possible when you use your imagination and have the right tools for the job. A team of Swedish tuners took on this Viper project after they originally bought it for a rebuild, then spare parts were difficult to come by, so the plans changed. Looks like it worked out well since they now have a Saab 9-3 powered by a SRT10 Viper engine. However, this custom build wasn’t easy because the V10 8.4-liter powerplant was too big for the engine bay, and it had to be pushed inside the cabin some. After the jump you can see more pictures and a video of the bodiless Viper doing donuts. source: http://fancytuning.com

1969 Dodge Coronet R/T and Super Bee

Image
I’m listing both versions of the ’69 Coronet muscle car here, because they are both very similar (and very cool), but each one has its own unique advantages. The R/T option designation was available on several Dodge models starting back in 1967, and signified “road/track” performance. In 1969, many Mopar fans opted for the slightly less expensive Coronet Super Bee (boasting its unique logo in the rear-end bumble-bee striping). This was Dodge’s equivalent to the Plymouth Roadrunner, and as such, was equally minus many luxury features, making it lighter in weight as compared to the R/T. Super Bees are also much more common, especially those equipped with the base 383 cid (over 24,000 units sold), which was not even available in the R/T. A few Super Bees came with either the bigger 440 six-pack or the 426 twin-four Hemi. The R/T was only offered with the 440 Magnum or the Hemi. These burners routinely ran the quarter-mile in the mid-13s. As for the R/T being the rarer of the two models, a
