Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

[BBFarmer]

I stopped by the shop I do business with yesterday.

They were saying that they’ve had a lot of new parts failing….

Had an alternator last 30 seconds….

Sounds about right.

Had an a/c compressor do me like that last week. Clutch cycled once then never again lol.

I think china is just laughing at us at this point. They know the average american consumer will buy anything at any quality.

Lady comes in last week for an inside door handle. Ours from the parts house (which is definitely from china, just maybe one of the slightly better parts) is about $60.

She comes back yesterday with a $9 handle off amazon. Not even close. Same handle for the same car. But bolt holes not even close, can't accept the lock rod, etc. We're like, "Nope, BYE FELICA!" LOL

Do we happen to have a "repair photo" type thread on here? A "Whatcha workin on" sorta thing?

Y'all take some pretty amazing photos on here and I don't want to contaminate this thread if its geared more towards awesome nature related stuff and what not.

I was deleting old photos off the phone and came across this lovely jewel from a few years back.

Early 90s LS400. Accidental discharge by an overnight security guard who liked to nap with his gun in hand, finger on the trigger. Gotta be ready in good ole "Jacktown" LOL. Shot just above the center console right into the evaporator case. I'm a pretty seasoned dash puller, but this ole girl almost ate my lunch.
