Deadassss

Just turn the music up

As a mechanic, you can pay me now to deal with it, or 10x as much if you ignore it.

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.

It's just a slight rattling, what could go wrong if I ignore it for a while?

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.

It's like learning a loved one is sick again.

I have a 2002 Skoda. I don't care about new noise. New smells, however...

The violent rumbling is actually a relaxing massage.

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)

Your car is trying to entertain you every day with a new noise

New noise stustustustu make fun though

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.

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'm so used to seeing car be used instead of cat I totally missed the point

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...

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.

Cars are sentient beings that have gained ascension through acceptance of their fate. Humans should be killed to liberate the cars.
