Dr Victor Chang's car was deliberately bumped from the rear, and after turning into a side street. he was accosted and killed.

So whilst I'm calm and rational right this minute, my training procedure is...

i) Make sure that my Agreed Value Insurance is up-to-date and gives me adequate cover

ii) Calmly activate my PANIC BUTTON in my car which does strange but silent/covert things (no not Quiktrak gone bust)

iii) Hand over the keys to the Carjackers

iv) Go to the other side of the street and start taking pics (even pretend pics) so they'll go away (with or without the car).

There is a legal pepper spray called MUZZLE which is meant for Veterinary use only. Not sure yet whether this would be step v)!

Tez

Yeh I've been held up before with a 'blood-filled' syringe wielding jerk just out of the clink - and now he's back in.

Held me up after my last patient. Bit more vigilant now.

Never really thought about this ...

Guess my first reaction would be to put my foot down and go for it.

But if i was blocked in?

I wouldnt take out a knife and start waving it around, as that could get u in a shit load more trouble then getting ur car stolen.... Thats unless they had knife first, then it would be counted as resonable course of action.

But i guess, the best thing would to pass them the keys... and let them take it. Better then losing your life

Or if u want to be really cheeky, i would turn off the car, pass them the key and run off... not telling them the pin number to start the car again.

HAHA...

ahh.. touch wood.. i hope this doesnt happen to me..

I would say, sit in ur seat rock back and forwards hitting ur head on the steering wheel somewhat hard, loudly muttering "Stop it Mummy, im good boy now,"

Now if that dream scream psycho then nothing will LOL

I would not attempt to approach anyone, for any reason if they were doing this :)

Very nice non violent attempt to avoid any confrontation.

At night i always lock the doors when driving. At least if someone does try and open the door, i have a few seconds of advantage to do something....hopefully it would be to drive off with no further issue. However, if they did get in id surrender the car. Its "just a car" and is insured and can be replaced. I dont think any car is worth your life/health to try and protect.

If I was outnumbered and they had AK-47s ok they can have my pride and joy. Otherwise unable to outrun them or cornered at the lights I'll introduce them to my stainless steel Prolock which is nicely legal to have sitting on your passenger seat.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
