Did you look through the rest of the thread? There are other pictures of other cars with similar problems

how the hell did they let it get that far?

Just this morning I was travelling behind a Civic for a few k's that had a dead flat tyre on the driver rear side.

Finally caught up with the guy at a set of red lights & knocked on his window & pointed it out to him, didnt seem phased & just took off as normal & kept driving to where the hell he was going

I will go for a walk at lunch time, and hear so many cars down to the brake wear markers.... I can't believe people don't maintain their cars!!!

SIR-VRX, you should be ashamed of yourself... I expected you to maintain your vehicle properly.... and when did you paint your car a different colour!!!!

Give yourself an uppercut LMAO

?!?

I certainly hope none of us encounter such an issue on our Japanese made Lancers...

American car technology is only of recent years catching up to the rest of the world...

They've had to as the Japanese cars are taking over lol

One good example of old technology still being used is right there. Look closely and see if anybody can pick it. HINT: It's not the brakes. The person who finds what I'm on about gets 500 forum points and +2 rep.

You're pretty close, I'll give it to you...

Until recently a lot of American cars still used Body-on-Frame construction, which is what our utes, and most real 4x4s use. There is a metal frame that has the suspension and drive train mounted on it, and the body is seperatley bolted to that.

Old technology suited to 4x4s, but not passenger cars!
