Why is it that every time someone posts on here about help installing some bass ackwards band-aid, then gets told to just fix the problem, they have a temper tantrum about how working on a car is some impossible task?

I get that I was lucky to have my dad teach me things, but do wrenchlets genuinely believe that something like changing oil or spark plugs or a battery, is not just difficult but some insurmountable obstacle? Or are they just attention whoring?

Will there ever be anything like a Gen 2 Prius again? Over-engineered to achieve amazing reliability (i.e, 500k+ miles with only routine maintenance), great interior space and simple layout, and a non-aggressive / fancy exterior?

I feel like this was the greatest car of all time, and I'm upset that I don't have the opportunity to buy a new one and am stuck searching for used ones. The newer models have less interior space and look too edgy.

>Great cars make you want to drive
That's just propaganda. Remember that driver's cars are a luxury and ultimately only remembered by car enthusiasts. Great cars are also ones that get the world moving. There's only a couple cars that come to mind as people's cars, like the Model T, Model A, VW Beetle, Citroen 2CV, etc. None of those cars were driver's cars and without the boring people movers that transport the needs of the world, you wouldn't have the sports cars that you wanted in the first place. The Prius sits firmly in the people's car category of great cars. It showed hybridization is not only viable, but anyone can have it. Back then, everyone thought hybridization was impossible and there was no hope in hell that it would be economically viable. In CY+9, over half of Toyota's lineup can be hybridized. Automakers still license Toyota's hybrid system because creating one indigenously is ridiculously difficult and not worth their while.

Cars like that are your breadwinners, so that you can have exciting cars that make you want to go nowhere like an /o/tist. Those Priuses and Camrys make the GR series and the Supra possible, because they can't stand on their own. On a more extreme example, Porsche owners screech about the Cayenne and Macan but without those SUVs/crossovers, you would have no 911. Same with Bentley and Rolls-Royce. The SUVs are their best sellers and draw the ire of purists, but without them you have no rocketships.

I recently hauled 1200lbs of tiles in my 2019 F150 limited that I have had from new.

I felt the back sag and I am wondering if I broke something because I hear guys saying they feel nothing when they load there truck. Did I overload mine going over a half ton? I am thinking I may need to upgrade to a 3/4 or 1 ton in case I need to haul again. How do I hide the fact that I overloaded my current one from a prospective buyer are their signs?

>>27632382
first you should check the door sticker to determine your payload capacity. 1200lbs likely did not overload your f150. Half ton trucks sag when loaded up because they have springs that give better ride quality over stiffer springs for higher payload capacity. Sagging when loaded is expected and not indicative of overloading.
That being said I have overloaded my 1500 plenty of times and unless you actually break something (like a shackle or shock or something) there won't be signs. Do it enough and you could flatten out your leaf springs I guess.
>>
>>27632712
This. I flattend my leaves on my truck and only broke a left when I tried to hoon the cloverleaf interstate entrance ramp with like 2,000 lbs of flooring in the bed and the flooring shifted and broke free of the pallet wrap and went to one side. I didn't even know I broke anything until the leaf swung out and started grooving a tire. Got new springs and it's crazy high in the back now.

mine are definitely flattened lol. Only problem I had was when I broke a leaf spring shackle and the spring went up into the bed. Made a big dent and started coming through a bit where it tore the metal. Not sure when exactly it happened but my guess was when I was hauling some plywood or drywall over some railroad tracks. I am considering doing a spring replacement as well for less sag, but I am planning on ordering a Tremor soon so not sure if its worth it to me.
To be fair though that failure could have been caused by rust. Around here bed mounts can rust away and they can fall off. My buddies is held on with one or two bolts, and mine has a couple snapped off as well. Its actually relatively uncommon to see GMT800s around here now because of the rust.

Ez. If you don't get rid of all the rust and just cover it up, the cancer will continue to spread. If you're a real lazy nigger, just glob some Por15 over the whole thing inside and out to slow down the rust.
