driver crumple impact for me or rolling over = 💀

[sly elk]

oh yea

that's true, the extended cab ones are terrifyingly unsafe

wait do you have that one like in the picture

or the actual 4 door one?

[jaunty light]

supercrew

not an ext

[sly elk]

afaik those aren't that unsafe

[jaunty light]

yeah not that unsafe

not that I care I ride a motorcycle

[sly elk]

the black one in that pic above is the one that was famously unsafe

because it has no B pillar

in a crash the cab basically pancakes

[jaunty light]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL-eB_Bv5Ik

[jaunty light]

that's an oof

[sly elk]

not sure why they even bothered with an airbag

[jaunty light]

I mean, that looks fine. maybe a broken ankle or knee.

and ribs

[somber solar]

Atleast the airbag protects your hairline

[hard drift]

rip crash test dummy

[sly elk]

that was a 99

this is an 04

[deep sapphire]

Back then they didn’t really design B pillars and roof structure

[sly elk]

it's amazing how friggin huge the difference was

[deep sapphire]

Which is why the cabin crumpled so easily

[somber solar]

Ferd

[jaunty light]

got pics of an 02?

[deep sapphire]

But in a front end collision the truck would barely move because the frame would protect it

[sly elk]

a 99 gmc sierra

[jaunty light]

I went full boomer wiht my typo

[sly elk]

better but not great

[jaunty light]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i5EmJBaGeQ

wtf

the thumbnail was different when I clicked on it

[sly elk]

I think that was the first year they crash tested pickups

for some reason trucks are always way behind in safety standards

[jaunty light]

cant seem to find a 4dr test

[deep sapphire]

That isn’t true anymore

[sly elk]

yeah

I agree, you can get every safety feature in a truck now

[deep sapphire]

Only trucks over I think 8500 lbs GVWR are exempt

[jaunty light]

apparently the supercrew got a driver/passenger rating of 5 stars from NHTSA

2 stars for roll, no side test

[sly elk]

I suppose that's why they keep getting bigger lol

[deep sapphire]

IIHS is usually a lot more strict than NHTSA

[sly elk]

introducing the 8501lb GVWR f150!

[deep sapphire]

[sly elk]

it's not even a uniquely american thing

toyota does this shit too

they got called out on it at some point

[deep sapphire]

You mean when their frames literally rotted in half?

[sly elk]

noo

[modest moss]

booked it in with the garage we have used before and trust in a couple of weeks

[sly elk]

so when IIHS introduced the small partial overlap

[deep sapphire]

AND they had the nerve to fight customers about replacing them

[sly elk]

the rav4 failed it bad, and the next year did much better

someone got suspicious so they tried crashing with the barrier on the passenger side instead

[deep sapphire]

Pay for my flight I’ll do it in 10 minutes

[sly elk]

and it failed bad again

turned out toyota only reinforced the driver's side so it'd look good in the test lmao

[modest moss]

that would be cool but a false economy

[jaunty light]

[somber solar]

Who even has a passenger anyways

[deep sapphire]

Welllllll to be fair most vehicles aren’t much better but it makes sense what is the likely hood you would be in a passenger side offset crash

[deep sapphire]

That’s outrageous I’m staying with my safe and trusty Chevy

[jaunty light]

hope you like your passenger turning into paste

[sly elk]

tbh I was flabbergasted toyota did that

[deep sapphire]

You need a ride AM?

[somber solar]

Holy

[jaunty light]

no

[sly elk]

I mean this is TOYOTA we're talking about

[deep sapphire]

That picture is also not factual lol

The vehicle slid away from the barrier

[sly elk]

yea the barrier ate that door

[deep sapphire]

Sure it was bad but the cabin wasn’t crushed like it I’d icates

Indicates**

[sly elk]

it's funny how different vehicles react

That’s what adaptive cruise control is for

haha

they should just do it with a self driving tesla

"we activated FSD and it crashed into the barrier"

hmm, everyone else is raising prices, but we have a large supply and can meet demand for the next few years, what can we do

because the NAND companies have never intentionally colluded to jack up prices before, there were no judgments against companies for doing this

[jaunty light]

Love redditor comments

"So they finally did what my drone was doing 5 years ago?"

[versed juniper]

So there's some weird outlook email associated with the admin account on my computer

[odd sand]

Except for the fact it weighs far more, isn't balanced like a quadcopter, and wasn't designed for it.

[versed juniper]

and it's one of those microsoft emails that they make you make when you first set up your computer

I tried resetting the password for it but it's an email I've never used like ever

microsoft keeps kicking me to a screen where it says I have to prove I own the email

[odd sand]

I never attach an MS account to my personal computer

[versed juniper]

but I've never sent emails from it before and I've never used it

and so all I can give is my name, birthdate, where I live, and that's it

and the automated system keeps telling me "Well we can't prove that this is you sorry"

but I'm literally signed into this computer as the admin with it right now

and there's apparently no one I can call at all

[odd sand]

Can you use the existing admin account to create another admin account not associated with that email?

[versed juniper]

Yup

and I just tried that

[odd sand]

Then do that I guess 🤷‍♀️

[versed juniper]

but all of the settings, applications, and instalations on this admin account are not replicated on the new one

the taskbar icons aren't there and the firefox profile certainly isn't up to date

can I basically copy paste everything that's on one admin profile to the new one?

[odd sand]

https://www.groovypost.com/howto/recover-lost-windows-password/

There is a section there where it will text you a reset code if your phone number was associated with the account

I wonder if that would work

If you didn't do system wide install of apps, those would need to be reinstalled, yeah.

You should be able to restore most of the settings if you installed them to the same folders though AFAIK by making a backup of your %APPDATA% folder

I dunno if that would cover everything though, since some stuff is probably also in the registry

[versed juniper]

Thank you for trying

It says there's no phone number associated with the outlook email that's tied to my admin profile

I remember when I set it up a bunch of weird stuff happened and I just kind of gave up on it

but now all of this is coming back up again because mojang is migrating minecraft accounts

and it's just opened up a massive can of worms for me

how fucked am I?

[odd sand]

Well, you could try calling or emailing microsoft support and explain the situation]

In the future take admin account info more seriously heh

[versed juniper]

I'm schizophrenic

[odd sand]

Or don't associate an MS account with your admin

Although I think you may have to with Win11...

[versed juniper]

I really don't know how an outlook email got associated with this in the first place

maybe I was trying to access the app store or something

[hard drift]

outlook is created the second you make a microsoft account

so it would be for example

[e-mail]

assuming bundoc is your microsoft account

you have the main email which is what you used to create it, and access to a microsoft outlook email

[versed juniper]

now it says I've hit the limit for account recovery

how the heck do you recover an outlook email that doesn't even have a phone number attached to it or security information at all which is tied to the admin account of the computer somehow

I think at this point the easiest thing for me to do would be to swap out the admin email

but it won't even let me do that without signing into....THAT EMAIL...which I can't even get into!

and how the heck do I even email microsoft support at all?

[deep sapphire]

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/home/expcontact

[versed juniper]

didn't help, thanks though Hank

and there's "email microsoft support" link there either

no*

[deep sapphire]

there is a live chat option

https://i.imgur.com/ODKz7Hg.png

@versed juniper

[versed juniper]

all I see is the "We're here to help" option and a search box

wait....lmao...did you only see that after you signed in to your microsoft account to contact support? @deep sapphire

[deep sapphire]

yeah you have to be signed in

you just click get help after you type in what you need help with, then under it there should be a contact us button

and then that chat with a support agent

[versed juniper]

But I can't sign in

[deep sapphire]

you cant reset your password?

[versed juniper]

because I'm trying to recover the password for the outlook email that's associated with the Microsoft account

which was never connected to a phone number

but somehow wound up connected to the admin account

[deep sapphire]

is this outlook 365? is the account setup through Azure active directory or microsoft itself

[versed juniper]

it's for the whole computer

apparently at some point I made an outlook email and it wound up attached to the admin account

when I go to reset the password, I put in that email, plus the recovery email I want to use, and then the recaptcha and then my name and birthdate and location

but then it asks me for recent contacts and subject titles but I don't know those because I've never used that email to send any emails at all to anyone

[jaunty light]

nothing is working 😦

@deep sapphire will I lose access to my computer one day if I don't have access to this microsoft email account?

[potent arrow]

Meanwhile me here building a corne

[jaunty light]

They have dygma

[deep sapphire]

No, I’m confused why they wouldn’t have a support line that you can use to gain access

Surely they have something

[versed juniper]

I've been trying

I start a ticket saying, "I want to change the email on my admin account"

I explain what's going on

they say they're transferring me in chat to someone

and then I wait an hour and no one talks to me

I made a whole new microsoft account which I'm updating with all the info I didn' thave on the other one

[terse idol]

I uninstalled ffxiv but didnt get any space back

[deep sapphire]

Did you refresh the explorer window

[versed juniper]

@deep sapphire thank you for trying to help me out, I appreciate it so much, I feel sick to my stomach from all of this stress so I'm going to logout for a while

[deep sapphire]

Yeah take a break from it, when you get frustrated it makes it hard to find a resolution

I’ll see if I can find some direct phone support

[versed juniper]

I made a new microsoft account with 2FA and all the other stuff turned on

[deep sapphire]

[phone]

That’s supposedly the direct line to support

[versed juniper]

tried that, just connects to an automated phone tree

and the folks in the chat support say "we're transferring you to someone who can help" and then I never get sent to anyone

[deep sapphire]

Have you tried spamming 0

Sometimes that’ll get you to a live person

[versed juniper]

Nope "Support has moved online" robot

at this point I'm just going to backup all of my settings as much as I can, make a brand new admin profile, and then try to transfer everything over

before deleting the old admin profile

But that'll take like a whole day

and all I want to do is just change a freakin email address 😦

[jaunty light]

damn I wish I could get some RGB vardars

[dull garnet]

pain

[sly elk]

my computer has more $$ in RGB than some people spend on their video cards

[modest moss]

rgb is for weebs and virgins

[jaunty light]

that's me

[hard drift]

🤷‍♂️ i didn't ask for them, i just said 140mm fans, dad helped brother pick them

[jaunty light]

I just got a light strip

$10!

[hard drift]

and i told them no rgb

[deep sapphire]

I love RGB even more that its for virgins

[hard drift]

🤢

[dull garnet]

you actually just went

[jaunty light]

oh wait I have the strimer 24 pin I forgot I turned it off

[deep sapphire]

nice trash can

[jaunty light]

[dull garnet]

"yeah just grab whatever 140mm fans haha"

absolute mad lad

[hard drift]

what 🤷‍♂️ my dad has done this stuff before

he knows more than i do

[latent grotto]

and your dad likes rgb

[jaunty light]

oh now I remember why i turned it off

[hard drift]

nah he hates it as well lmao

[jaunty light]

it's because asus rgb control has no brightness control

turned it back on now im blind

[latent grotto]

then why'd he get your rgb

[sly elk]

lol

[hard drift]

in the 90s his leds never turned off he said

[latent grotto]

[hard drift]

he hated it

[hard drift]

he didn't

[sly elk]

you can brightness control from the strimer box?

I have mine connected to a lightning node and just use icue 😄

[jaunty light]

i dont mind the strimer being full brightness, but the rgb strip I have is linked to it

[somber solar]

Quite like those cables

[jaunty light]

im pretty sure they used to have brightness control, but i guess not??

im pretty sure my asrock did

[dull garnet]

hank is voisonberry your waifu

[latent grotto]

oh i was seeing rgb talk so i thought he got you corsair rgb fans

[hard drift]

i have the ones that came with my pc case but i turned them off

[jaunty light]

when I had a gigabyte I just used a command line to control the lights

[sly elk]

sometimes i set them all the same color like this

[hard drift]

looks like a blacklight

[sly elk]

i do run them at fairly low brightness because the strimers are bright af

[somber solar]

Making me want strimers

[sly elk]

but my case also has tinted glass

[somber solar]

That is an interesting case

[sly elk]

SOOOON

[deep sapphire]

looks like an appliance

[jaunty light]

i also like that the music visualizer is still based on some kind of wack algorithm

epilepsy simulator

[sly elk]

from a few hardware updates ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp_oQF19kQM

[somber solar]

😲 i didnt expect that

[sly elk]

i was going to buy an o11 but it was already starting to get popular back then 😄 and the top sold me on this ridiculous case

me buying computer hardware:
"That's kinda silly..."
"I MUST HAVE IT!!"

[jaunty light]

too popular for this hipster

distro plates look nicer

distro plates basically plan it for ya if you do hard

whats the difference between the o11d and evo

oh the side mount looks quite different

that loks nice hmm

clear if you wanna do dye, otherwise I'd go for opaque color

das a lot of rad

u runnin 4 3090s?

[sly elk]

the o11d is beautiful

I like the mini but I kinda like the regular size better

because it has 3 fans 😄

[jaunty light]

the mini looks really nice with hard tube

[sly elk]

the mini only does 2 fans on the side

[jaunty light]

a single 240 or 280 will handle the hottest CPU and 3090 with ease

it's pretty much marginal from there

also watercool your ram for extra aesthetic

wait why are radiators not RGB yet??

[modest moss]

didn't you just buy 3080ti?

[hard drift]

they like to spend money remember....

[jaunty light]

wat was the $ to upgrade

how much was the 3080 ti?

[hard drift]

600 for 3080 to 3090.... what a waste

[jaunty light]

1900cad or usd

i assume ft3

ftw3

[hard drift]

still a waste no matter the currency

[modest moss]

more money than sense, but whatever it's his bank account

[jaunty light]

i guess it's not terrible considering a scalped one would run you 3 grand

[hard drift]

it's still terrible...

just because scalped is more doesn't make it less terrible

[jaunty light]

I mean $1500 for the FE, which you'll never get a FTW3 at, so maybe 1700~ or 1800 for an FTW3

[hard drift]

yeah but they have a 3080 12gb atm...

the performance gain for 600 dollars isn't worth it at all

[sly elk]

aye i signed up for the 3080ti queue when it opened

[modest moss]

you do you Ice

[sly elk]

got mine like 6 months later

[hard drift]

if that was the case should've gone with a professional card 😔

[sly elk]

those are hella expensive

[modest moss]

like, I think you're daft and wasting money, but it's not like you're punching babies or killing ducks so whatever

[hard drift]

not all of them there's different tiers

[sly elk]

like a quadro p4000 is I dunno $1200 or whatever and it's more like a 3060 >>

[jaunty light]

ya if you buy a big boy quadro you are not spending 5k

guess you could buy an 8000, for the low price of 6-8k depending on where u get it

[modest moss]

can't believe I'm the one defending Ice though lol

[jaunty light]

ey man people gon buy what they wanna buy

[hard drift]

and people will always judge

[jaunty light]

sure but you might buy a 300cc bike that does everything my 1100cc does, except I got the 1100cc cuz I wanted it

[modest moss]

Ice I'll dm you my paypal and invoice you for defending you

[jaunty light]

(1) 3090

[modest moss]

yeah I thought of it like cars

[hard drift]

wtf do you need an A100 for

[modest moss]

we could tell him just buy a nice chevy truck but he wants an alfa romeo

whatever

[jaunty light]

@deep sapphire

insight?

[hard drift]

there's other cards you could get such as an a5000

[jaunty light]

my friend is a serial killer for reference

[hard drift]

and you get professional drivers

[modest moss]

brake cleaner

[hard drift]

rather than gaming drivers

yes but why

[deep sapphire]

Penis

[hard drift]

the purpose of the A cards are work not gaming

[deep sapphire]

You use that emote too much

[jaunty light]

benefit of titan cards is both

[jaunty light]

even though the last like 4 titan cards arent real titan cards

[hard drift]

the 3090 isn't a titan card

[jaunty light]

it is

[hard drift]

no it isn't

[jaunty light]

just not the same titan the line used to be

[hard drift]

it's a titan class card with no titan features

[jaunty light]

that's because it was cutting into profitz

[hard drift]

titan cards had access to professional drivers

[jaunty light]

since people enjoyed buying it for both

[hard drift]

the 3090 doesn't

[modest moss]

here's the thing Bidori

he's gonna buy it anyway

[hard drift]

i know 😔

[modest moss]

so why worry

let him get on with it

he knows we think it's wasteful

he can afford it and doesn't care

[jaunty light]

Also which branch of pro drivers are you talking about

[modest moss]

AM getting dragged out of their pervy weeb comfort zone into actual tech talk

[jaunty light]

quadros get production drivers, which titans don't

I can get SD for my 3090

[jaunty light]

[hard drift]

yeah but that could be said for the whole product stack

[modest moss]

no that's just brown Hank, honest

[jaunty light]

that's what i mean

it's not an equivalent titan of ye olde past but it still has enough performance and you can game

[hard drift]

yeah

[deep sapphire]

Gdi I think I have air in my brake lines

It’s like -10 out and it’s night time

[modest moss]

didn't you just pay 2k to get your brakes redone?

[jaunty light]

i was gonna do new brakes and 4 caliper on my truck but then I learned brembo dont make no rotors for my year!!

[deep sapphire]

I had new rotors, hubs and front end suspension done

They didn’t touch the brake lines but they were fine at the time

[modest moss]

Hank gonna have to get his hands dirty :(

[deep sapphire]

It’s fine I know a cheap mechanic but I’m probably gonna have to take work off cause I doubt they’ll work on it over the weekend

Fuck that I’m not working outside in the cold I don’t even have my tools they’re at work

[modest moss]

uber to work?

[deep sapphire]

It’s 25 miles away. It’s fine I got vacation time I can use

[modest moss]

oh fuck an uber that far

stay home and shitpost with us

order food

[deep sapphire]

It’s like an ice rink out there

[hard drift]

😔

[modest moss]

what a delightful place to live

[jaunty light]

now do a burnout

ask someone to come tow you! for the low price of $300

[deep sapphire]

Lmao I have AAA

[jaunty light]

[deep sapphire]

[modest moss]

Hank don't freeze to death in that carpark

[deep sapphire]

It’s okay I’m warm now

[modest moss]

[deep sapphire]

Old vehicle problems

[jaunty light]

my tailgate paint is finally flaking I gotta fix it before it gets bad like my hood did

[deep sapphire]

Earlier when I was driving home my brake light was intermittently coming on and off and my brake peddle felt softer than normal so I was like uh oh

[modest moss]

AM does your truck have anime girl decals?

[deep sapphire]

I hope so

[modest moss]

Hank is too scared

[jaunty light]

do you wanna know what my license plate is

[modest moss]

I need to go back in GTA online and see if there are any new princess robot bubblegum vehicle wraps

I just want a Suzuki Jimny. I don't need anything else at all.

Fuck Jeeps, fuck Broncos, they are mallrunners. What I need is a Jimny so I can hit the off-road park and torture it to death.

[sly elk]

I LIKE My jeep 🖕

[modern iris]

That's nice. How many bags of groceries does it hold?

[sly elk]

hmmmmm

I dunno but it does fit mall parking spaces very well

I have a rubicon so I can drive over curbs with no effort!

[modern iris]

I had this old Ford SUV, medium sized for the late 2000s, it also ran over everything with no issues.

[modest moss]

kyanche is a soccer mom, leave him alone

[modern iris]

I adore kyanche ;; it is just teasing.

[modest moss]

pretty sure calling him a soccer mom is also teasing, lol

[sly elk]

i do kinda want one of these

[modern iris]

Hell yea

[sly elk]

oooo

maybe I can make fake trail decals that instead have the silhouette of malls on them

[modern iris]

"trail rated" until you do a warranty claim and it looks used off road. FCA o7

[jaunty light]

wrong

you're not allowed

jimny japan owners are crazy I've seen many videos where they just roll them push it back upright and keep goin

[modern iris]

"mmm yea, I noticed you had pin striping from brush hitting your Jeep, so I'm gonna have to refuse this warranty claim"

[sly elk]

like they make these

and if you use the app to prove you were on one of those trails

they mail you a badge 'of honor'

[modern iris]

Exactly. It is the vehicle for me.

[sly elk]

maybe I should make some that have malls instead

XD

[modern iris]

They are not legal in USA

;;

[sly elk]

oh yea that's unfair

is it really a legal thing?

[jaunty light]

I don't remember what truck TFL broke but they did a warranty on it and the mfg replaced

it was either a chevy boss or an FCA

[sly elk]

they are cute lol

[jaunty light]

even though they kinda snapped the driveshaft doing the torture test

[sly elk]

just look at this thing

it's like a roided up mini cooper

[jaunty light]

then there was this jeep youtuber who borrowed a chevy boss and it broke a balljoint like 3 minutes into an offroad trail

[modern iris]

I'll be able to buy a 98 Jimny and import it next year

[sly elk]

i think they are the closest thing to an original jeep that you can buy, aside from a mahindra roxor

that new 'it's not a jeep' front end is scary tho

it's like jeep with a riding lawnmower added to it

[modest moss]

Hank say it ain't so

[modern iris]

Those would be cool if I could get them legal enough to drive from my house to the nearby off-road park.

[jaunty light]

this thing

I SO WANT IT

but sadly a lot of the reviews say it breaks after a few uses, at best. and somtimes within 10 minutes of the first use

[deep sapphire]

Ryobi tools are cheap for a reason

[sly elk]

but if I could clean my shower easily X_X

[deep sapphire]

just pay the good money

and get a good brand

[sly elk]

yea but nobody actually makes something like that

at least afaik

[deep sapphire]

a power washer?

[sly elk]

that's not a power washer

[deep sapphire]

power scrubber

[sly elk]

besides you wouldn't power wash your shower would ya?

[deep sapphire]

smh get your ass in there and scrub manually

S

M

[sly elk]

I mean I've dreamed of doing that

[deep sapphire]

H

dont you enjoy coughing non stop from the caustic fumes of cleaners

its good for you

[sly elk]

eh I just use ajax

[deep sapphire]

I use scrubbing bubbles and let it sit there for an hour and come back

rinse it off

[sly elk]

the other stuff just doesn't work

[deep sapphire]

usually does the job

as long as you let it sit

[sly elk]

my bathroom is old

the shower gets an alarming amount of black mold after a few weeks

[deep sapphire]

oh the ceiling above the shower head?

[sly elk]

nope. the floor.

[deep sapphire]

nani

[sly elk]

the corners, the lower like 5" or so

[deep sapphire]

near the tub?

[sly elk]

well part of the problem is the shower needs its valve cartridge replaced, landlord won't do it, I've looked it up and it's more work than I want to do on someone else's shower

so the damn thing just drips all the time

[deep sapphire]

oh its a rental? if you are getting mold make the state fuckin fix it lol

force his ass

thats a health and safety issue

[sly elk]

i just wanna get out of here X_X

[deep sapphire]

out of california or the apartment

[sly elk]

besides our latest safety issue was the furnace closet door being warped and not closing right

it's a house

the city doesn't give a shit about code enforcement on rental houses, I tried that on a past landlord lol

[deep sapphire]

renting a house

oof

[potent arrow]

So I checked my brake fluid today

Levels are fine

I think it’s something to do with the rear drum brakes, when I depress the peddle it kinda goes from no brakes to oh we have plenty of brakes lmao

Probably the ABS module or something

[potent arrow]

Lol

That's like

not good

But also my car does that alot

[modest moss]

that sounds expensive

[deep sapphire]

It’s an older style module so I doubt it’s that hard to fix

[late basalt]

Sticking? Or are the pads wearing?

[deep sapphire]

Nah I don’t hear any noise

[late basalt]

could be an air bubble ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Fucking pain in the ass doing brakes

[potent arrow]

My car just loses brake fluid randomly

[deep sapphire]

Too much fun

As long as it stops fairly well who cares right

[modest moss]

I mean it sounds like you drive on ice most of the year anyway, brakes can't do much

I posted this last night

[deep sapphire]

Oh god it’s back

[sullen maple]

Guys, I just installed cpu i7-12700k on z690 pro, with nucta d15 cooler, and tried testing it with cinibench app

normal idle cpu temp is between 35-39 and when I test it on stress test with cinibench it just goes to the roof, is that normal ?

[deep sapphire]

100c is pretty toasty. A D15 should be able to keep it around 85c

Did you move the cooler around a lot when attempting to install it

[hard drift]

Check if it’s properly seated

It shouldn’t instantly be 100 but if left for a long period of time you’d see high temps on PL2 i believe it is

[deep sapphire]

Alright I think I figured it out and I kinda suspected this

The e brake got stuck partially engaged

The parking brakes on these trucks are dog shit and well known to stick

[modest moss]

we don't call it that

it's the handbrake

[deep sapphire]

We sometimes call them that too but for whatever reason trucks don’t have hand brakes it’s a peddle

It’s pretty stupid

My Camry had a hand brake

[modest moss]

is it an automatic?

[deep sapphire]

Yeah

[modest moss]

was gonna say 4 pedals would be a bit much

[deep sapphire]

I still use it when I park on steep grades though it’s not good for your transmission to rely on the parking pawl when parked on steep hills and shit

People do it anyway which drives me nuts

I might have to avoid parking on steep grades though if this thing is getting hung up

Old vehicle problems

@modest moss I think if you get a manual it still uses the peddle too haha

4 peddles baby!

The parking brake sticks out a bit further though so probably harder to accidentally engage

[sly elk]

Big cars used to have a parking brake pedal like that, too

Our 300s had them, and I’ve seen it in other big cars

I use the parking brake every time

[sullen maple]

one of the screws was loose and I thought it was screwing then I adjusted it a little bit
