Don't lift your Titan... - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

MPREZIV · 2007-05-15, 11:41 AM

'Cause your steering rack will snap in half!

A customer of ours brought his lifted Titan in yesterday for a "ticking noise" and when we were driving it into the shop there was a loud SNAP, and a bunch of red fluid on the ground under the front of the truck... the severe angle of the tie rods from the crappy lift on the truck stressed out the rack, and it broke in the center at one of the case joints! Lift kit = Voided Warranty!

Funny thing is, the customer is a BIG A-hole EVERY time he comes in to service, so I call this Karma...

Your autocross car is the exception that proves the rule then?

So, what would've happened if it had snapped while he was driving it on 395?

Ever notice those big, black tire marks on the center divider of the road...

Except for the fact that they are covering it under warranty, because someone crashed the last vehicle he brought in.

So this means there is no Karma, which means Buddhism is crap.

You might as well strike Hinduism and all the other Dharmic religions too.

Ah, but this could be negative karma for Nissan for not covering some poor kid with a 350Z for something last month.

MPREZIV · 2007-05-16, 06:41 AM

Yeah, the dumbass svc. writer felt bad for the guy, so he covered it under warranty... Luckily, it was on the other team, so I didn't end up fixing it! Yay for me!

If it HAD snapped on the freeway, it would have been hairy, but a *fair* driver would have been able to keep it under control. It was REALLY hard to steer, but do-able.

wait wait - the way my Mom told it, a person who is abusive in THis lifetime, will come back in their Next lifetime as something that IS abused. Like a dog or a rat.

Kevin M · 2007-05-16, 09:33 AM

Crap, I am totally throwing the Buddhist universe out of whack... I was always very kind to my rats and now my dog.

If I thought I had to go through another life, I'd kill myself.
