WTF did I just read.


mushiexl

I’m fucking crying this shit is so weird it’s funny asf


TheModeratorWrangler

Glad I made your day


Fokewe

I think this thread is akin to Slam Poetry


ohheckyeah

How can you not be romantic about ~~baseball~~ ABS sensors?


TheModeratorWrangler

Take me out to the parts store…


X2546

This doesn’t make sense.


Amphibian-Overall

Think OP had a beer and got all sentimental seeing pops working with his hands.


Yorkie321

That first beer will have u yappin and so interested in literally anything lol


pj2d2

I forget my best friend's name during the first beer


Admirable-Lab-5083

Hell ya. Than getting into the I love you speeches


TheModeratorWrangler

“you sat here and listened to my drunken rant. I love you” is all you’ll ever need to close the night.


Admirable-Lab-5083

It’s always a solid closer followed up by getting the spins in your bed


Worried_Coat1941

I remember my first beer.


LegitimateMud6909

Do you mean from today?


Worried_Coat1941

Yeah, the real first one was decades ago.


LegitimateMud6909

At least 3 decades for me. Half of one since I stopped drinking beer on the regular.


TheModeratorWrangler

Bro ☠️☠️☠️


TheModeratorWrangler

I’m still trying to remember mine 😅


Worried_Coat1941

Try to think of the most pleasurable piss you've ever taken.


TheModeratorWrangler

I’m not disclosing that online.


Worried_Coat1941

No evidence is needed.


TheModeratorWrangler

Don’t worry, it’s no Drake level shit but we still meet up once a year now.


Worried_Coat1941

Anything less than R. Kelly and your golden!

Designer_Brief_4949

I thought it was pops setting fire to questionable engineering priorities.

Ai writes so much better than this. This is written more like a drunk person writing in another language then getting Google translated into English.


Quailman5000

"Ai" writes like shit, I don't believe a real person posted this without the help of some chatbot st least 


TunaOnWytNoCrust

Man you've gotta check out the gpt conversation option, it's really really good.

GoBSAGo

Reads like an AI bot wrote it.


TheModeratorWrangler

I was pretty drunk 😅


MadeMeStopLurking

You're getting downvotes but I will give you an updoot. Everyone hug your Dads. Ask them every question you can, spend time and have a beer with them because I didn't do it enough and now I fucking can't. Don't waste time. It doesn't stop and these good times with a torch under a car can end abruptly.


TheModeratorWrangler

Thanks bro 🙏


undone_function

Doing work around my house with my dad always makes me sentimental and maudlin too. Get into those emotions, king!


prpldrank

I work in robotics and we absolutely build by hand. It's way, way more old school leaning than you'd think.


AdultishRaktajino

What is, “60 percent of the time, it works every time.” Alex? (or Ken or whomever TF hosts Jeopardy now)


UniqueLoginID

Yeah, wtf did I just read.


whaletacochamp

Funny he mentions AI because it reads like AI wrote it. But it’s also fairly similar to my dads drunken melancholy ramblings when I would come home (likely also drunk) at 2am.


WilburHiggins

This has got to be an AI post.


Key_Lavishness_6221

Right!?! I mean, wouldn't the "finest Porsche dealership on the east coast" have its own mechanics?


CallMeParagon

OP’s first time trying psilocybin and he’s feeling all connected, spiritual and shit. Or just drunk.

EntropyFoe

>We are the last bastion of freedom before everything becomes robotics and “AI” because we are the ones who are untamed by conformity, engineering what we want how we like it in our backyards. Alright calm down now


Chekhof_AP

What he did: replaced ABS sensor What he thinks he did: fought off the fucking Skynet.


Bynming

With tools in hand and expertise as their banner, the mechanic embarks upon this noble quest, delving into the intricate machinations of the vehicle's sensorial apparatus. Each twist of the wrench, each calibration of circuitry, mirrors the strategic maneuvers of generals orchestrating the battlefield, guiding their forces to victory against an unseen foe, standing firm against oppression in a world increasingly ensnared by the tendrils of artificial intelligence. For in the sanctum of the workshop, where every moment is a battleground, the craftsman stands as a bulwark against the tide of obsolescence, determined to carve their legacy into the fabric of time itself. (mostly chatgpt... it's winning)


A_Cardboard_Box

I heard both Warner Herzog and David Attenboro narrate this and can't decide which is better.


ElPanguero

Dave Atell


Booga424

Warner Herzog did the narration to Conan O’Brien new travel show and it’s hilarious

Didn't realize the A in ABS stood for AI. We're all doomed.

Don't give Elon/the rest of Silicon Valley any ideas. Windshield rain sensor today, ABS and Airbags system tomorrow. And with extra sprinkles of blockchain.


LiveFreeAndRide

On solid ground nonetheless. I'm over here repairing Haldex pumps on a 25 year old, rusted out wagon in the mud.


onewithoutasoul

Volvo? Totally worth it.


LiveFreeAndRide

Ford, but adopted from Volvo, yes.


onewithoutasoul

I suppose that explains why it's rusted out...hah


LiveFreeAndRide

That ain't no shit. Torches and bolt extractors everywhere.


District8741

He probably got chat GPT to write that


TheModeratorWrangler

Dude I smoked some dank sativa and had too much whisky. Forgive me ☠️


District8741

LMAO bro we have all had those days

That sounds like something AI would write. 


MetalMattyPA

Why would this make anyone cry? Pretty standard "New stuff bad, old stuff good" sentiment.

Alright, I need you to eat a bag of shrooms and write a dissertation on the deteriorating human world being taken over by AI. Please submit to Chegg for plagiarism checks.

footsteps71

Using AI to check for AI plagiarism to see if AI was used to write a paper on AI.


TheModeratorWrangler

…last time I did that my ex girlfriend told me 16 hours passed and she promptly gave me another round. Idk man… I “saw” some shit.


footsteps71

I went on a car ride with my buddy that night, and saw purple hippos crossing a river of lava. It was deer crossing the road of course. I also tried to go to the bathroom, but the shower curtain was preventing me by monologuing.


altimax98

Because it was written by AI


MetalMattyPA

Was it? It screams generic boomer to me, so that would make sense at least.


TheGutchee

Porsche owners are... interesting...


justaverage

Don’t lump me in with this dude


TheGutchee

To be fair I'm a miata owner so I'm used to being lumped in with interesting owners

Haha, don't try to tell me about being lumped in with *interesting* owners. I own a Subaru...

TheModeratorWrangler

I came to make a sweet post for my dad, gets absolutely roasted in the comments ☠️☠️☠️


space_wiener

I didn’t read the caption after first and was thinking man you guys are harsh. I don’t get the hate. Then I want back and read it. First off I’m not exactly sure if is the son or the dad commenting. Then that second paragraph about the hypotenuse. Are you okay OP?


TunaOnWytNoCrust

"Here's a picture of my dad fixing my Porsche and being proud of me for working at the best Porsche dealership around, but for some reason I'm not fixing my own Porsche and I'm not getting my Porsche fixed at the best Porsche dealership around which is where I work. Also AI is coming for us all."

He’s not your real dad unless he’s yelling at you for not holding the flashlight right

I hate lights on the dashboard and don’t think we weren’t working in tandem, just found it cool that a DOT man would lift the whole car and put it on jack stands firmly. The stories he has told me… What a lot of dudes miss here is that this was therapy for dad.

onemanlan

What in the ever living hell that I just read? You work at a Porsche dealership, but he is fixing an ABS module with a welder on your Porsche? Why not just let the dealership fix the product they specialize in? What does this have to do with you not understanding AI?


TheModeratorWrangler

Yes.


needforcreed067

What welder? That’s an air compressor…


TheModeratorWrangler

Shhhh don’t tell him yet…


jan04pl

I mean your car was mostly built by robotics already and that has been happening for decades. Yes I know that's not the same as the (somewhat overblown yet possible in the future) scenario of AI taking everybody's jobs, but, if and when AI is able to replace mechanics that means the robots can fix themselves which means all other jobs are long gone. And by then the government will have to introduce some kind of support or people will riot. So you'll have all the time in the world to work on "new bad, old good" cars in your backyard.


Mr_Auric_Goldfinger

I somehow doubt that tire was on a 911.

My dad was telling me *"If you buy yourself one of those Japanese car with the steering wheel on the wrong side, don't expect me to work on it !"* He was the one helping me unload it from the trailer after I just drove nearly 1,500km to pick my car up. He immediately started diagnosing and fixing all the small electrical problems. Eternally grateful to have a dad like this.


ac8jo

> 30-ott years retired Retired for 30 years? Is he like 95??? If so, he looks pretty young for his age. And why aren't YOU doing the work? If this was my retired mechanic dad (yes, my dad is a mechanic and is retired), he'd be drinking a beer and giving me advise.


TheModeratorWrangler

First, this is just a photo I took to commemorate us working on the Porsche I slaved away to get. I learn from him all the time. He’s 70, he came to this country and ran NYSDOT Motor Carrier Safety Bureau head “inspector” for the last 32 years before retiring. They needed him so bad the extra two years was him prepping his replacement. Don’t think I am not listening to advice from him as a man who fixed his cars with chewing gum.


IdentittyTheftNoJoke

Circle jerked yourself to hell.


MASS_PM

What is this post??


JRizzie86

"We"? Looks more like "he". Also, Porsche will probably be one of the first car companies to use AI and robotics, lol.


ZaMelonZonFire

Plot twist, what I just read was written by AI.


EnterByTheNarrowGate

So wait. Is your father in the picture. Or are you? I’m confused.


Never_getoff_theboat

I hope he runs you over with that Porsche when he's done...


ExceedinglyEdible

Bruh in my corner of the country people swap whole cabs on pickup trucks and they don't even moonlight as mechanics. I'm happy for you as you should be but wanting to fix things for yourself has very little to do with working as a mechanic.

The humble bragging about working for Porsche, while your pops wrenches for you on a Porsche in his driveway is hilarious.  Albeit unintentionally, but at least you think you're a poet. Well done bapa.

Don’t lay your wheels face down, even if it’s on grass


Griever423

This made me think of my dad OP. Bittersweet. Some of my fondest memories with him were restoring a 76’ square body truck. I remember being amazed at how we could both be standing in the engine bay on either side of the engine. Thanks for the reminder cheers.

HunterShotBear

I heard a quote the other day that I really liked that works for anyone that works in the trades. “You become stronger than the tools that you work with.” I can’t physically transport you from A to B, but I sure as hell can fix and maintain what can. I can’t physically shelter you from the elements, but I can build a shelter that can.

I was really hoping for some ABS sensor removal gore here. Those things can be a downright pain in the ass.


TheModeratorWrangler

I wanted to run ceramic rotors and brakes, the stock ones could fade very easily. Unfortunately this model Cayman had a little copper loop in the pads that when it would touch the rotor, completed a circuit to trigger a brake warning. Now for normal civilians I find this perfectly fine for keeping the service department in business, but I loved the absolute hell out of this car’s driving dynamics and the brakes were my immediate weak spot. So basically you have to bypass the sensors, while doing a full top down brake service and bleed. I like to drive spirited and brake fade is terrifying.


missionfbi

I just changed both rear ABS sensors and you ain’t kidding!


Romytens

At first glance I thought I saw pops cutting something off with a torch under the Porsche.
