Made me think about the brake job my buddy was doing when I went to his shop for lunch today. New meaning for "metallic" brake pads, otherwise know as no friction material left.
But the killer was the Z car with one side of the crossmember completely detached from the unibody due to rust. Weight of the engine, steering rack mounted to the crossmember, and the lower control arm mount, with only two bolts on the other side and the transmission mount to keep all of it form falling out on the road with complete loss of alignment and any control of the car.
The customer even had the cohones to ask me to test drive it!
Or the Chevy truck that jacknifed when the front u joint failed and the prop shaft hit a seam in the concrete pavement and it jumped straight up in the air and rotated 180 degrees and slid into a ditch.
My Moron alert is on continuously.
