What is the last thing you bought for yourself?

[D.O.A.]

My brother is an auto parts engineer, he worked for many brands, American, Japanese, German, etc. He told me that since 1985 automotive companies changed the way they manufactured cars and began to manufacture them in a way so that they could be repaired less and less...

A couple of decades ago cars were inherited from generation to generation. They were manufactured to last decades. Today, with luck, it doesn't break before the warranty expires, and the repair costs you 1/3 of the value of the car.




Always.

Sounds like planned obsolescence. Even with older parts you can feel the quality of them, the weight, better metal... Fucking asian made mass produced garbage doesn't hold a candle to it. You can feel it's weak metal, cheap garbage.

Jap cars are good

They were good... now they are almost the same.

I had 2 Nissan Frontier, one from 2005, one from 2020. I recently sold the 2020 one and kept the 2005 one because I had to make several repairs on the 2020 one. I even had problems with the injectors (u$s1000). This did not happen NEVER with the 2005, I only had to do maintenance on the 2005 and the most expensive thing was the clutch replacement (US$400)..

Well, Renault at the time planned to remove the little hook that is under the bumpers claiming that "cars are not designed to be towed"

Yes. Planned obsolescence and without a doubt.

Nissan frontier is usual on brazzo streets. It's beautiful

Here it is Hilux and Amarok that are seen the most, after them the Dodge Ram, Ford Ranger and the Frontier.

Yesterday, as I wandered through my house, a startling revelation dawned upon me: there were no notebooks to be found, and I suddenly felt the void that lurked within the absence of notebooks in my home.

Don't misunderstand, I had paper in the house, loose-leaf paper to be exact, just not a single notebook.

So, I did what any rational person would do, I went out and bought a mountain of notebooks.

Didn't need them, and quite frankly, I didn't want them.

But when the existential dread of not having any notebooks hits you like a freight train, you don't stop to question logic.

burn the receipt and i'll believe you

A new .510 thread battery because I rolled over onto mine and broke it as I woke up this morning while I reached for my phone to satisfy the daily morning urge to watch people die.

That's how I feel about old school British (Reynolds) steel vs aluminum, carbon fiber, titanium, chinesium, etc. The older British steel isn't so hard or brittle that it can't be worked on and the weight savings over 80yrs of "improvement" with newer materials for frame tubing still only amount to a couple lbs (alot if you're just talking about frame weight, but not much in the grand scheme of things) which a human being could just diet away if it actually mattered to them. Reynolds 531 is still technically in use (520, 525, and 725 are all the same composition as 531 which has been around since the 1950s, theyre just treated differently) , all the thinner, newer, "better" metals are hardened to the point that they cant really be worked on or repaired when damaged because its all too brittle and re heating it lessens the life span (especially near the joints of welded or brazed framework) and starts the countdown toward material failure. Older steel can be cold worked and is only heavier because the tubing gauges are thicker, the material itself isn't heavier. Carbon is a death trap, no carbon is meant to last or able to last indefinitely in the way that 70+ year old steel can. Aluminum is shit, it doesn't rust, but it's still shit. Titanium is expensive and difficult to work with for the same reasons the "better" steels are. 531 has been used in everything from airplane parts to car chassis to bicycle frames for a reason.

The intakes in the cars went from iron to aluminum and now they are manufactured in... in... plastic.

If we add to this that brands in most countries only have the obligation to guarantee spare parts for the cars they manufacture for 10 years it is clear that cars come from the factory with an expiration date....
