Linked to Mastodon for pictures, for whatever reason I couldn’t upload them to Lemmy.

My son borrowed my car, called me in the middle of the night saying it was making a weird sound. He had it towed to the specialty shop I use. Initially my son said he didn’t do anything much but down shift, he’s since recanted and admits he likely money shifted. The mechanic said it was a mess and that multiple internal bolts were sheared right off.

The pictures tell the tale… Hopefully I’ll have my car back later this week.

    Doh, right! Supposedly it predicts when it needs to lock up instead of mechanically after power is applied for more stable and predictable acceleration out of corners.

    It’s more stable than my last sports car but that was a 2009 370Z so who knows if that has anything to do with it.

    What I can tell you is it’s about 10x the price to repair and it’s not 10x more stable…
