War with Roll pin I have a 3/16 roll pin that refuses to move or even drill out. There's now a punch broken off inside of it. I've tried a hammer, sledgehammer, air hammer, and heat/lubricant with no luck so far. The drill bits I tried were cobalt rated for hardened steel, but they didn't do much.

What is this hard ribbon coming out of the front end of 2010 Honda Civic? Found this hanging out the front bottom of 2010 Honda Civic. Long, hard, flat, white ribbon looking thing. It pulls out easily enough, though I didn’t take it all the way out.

Did I prematurely change the spark plugs on my car?
Changed recently for two reasons, my car was starting to have a little trouble staring up. I leaned towards changing the spark plugs first since my car is at 114k miles. Read online Lexus recommends to replace every 120k but most people change at 100k miles. I also took a DC voltage reading on the battery with my fluke 902 and it’s at 10.5v so it looks like I’ll have to replace that too lol. How necessary was it to change my spark plugs, or not necessary at all? 5old 1new comparison

What is this under my 2014 Tacoma?
Hey everyone, I’m clueless about what this is under my truck. Should I be worried about it? I bought it a couple days ago and the mechanic didn’t mention it during the pre-purchase inspection.

How screwed is the dealership for being negligent with my car?
I just paid to have the suspension and control arms replaced. Yesterday I was driving when I started swerving and skidding uncontrollably. I pulled into a parking lot and that’s when my car completely disconnected from the ball joint (idk what I’m talking about here). I couldn’t move at all, the car was basically resting on the tire. Tow truck driver told me the entire thing was lose, nothing was tightened, everything hanging on by a thread. I’d be dead had I been going at a higher speed or in the expressway. I’ve had multiple people tell me to sue but I don’t know how bad this actually is. As mechanics and car people, what do you think after seeing this?
