I'm a crane technician and love diagnosing peoples cars by the horrible sounds they make when they drive past me
I hope I haven't driven by you ๐ My dad is a car and heavy machinery mechanic, so I can definitely hear when something is a little off, but as for diagnosing, no chance!
I used to get into my friends car and tell him something sounds wrong and he should look into it.
A month or two later it would fail and it happened so often he asked me to stop pointing things out cause I'm cursing him when I mention it haha
You're not cursing anything or anyone - tell him you're from the future! ๐
That's the go haha, shame I didn't think of that 10 years ago.
Now days we both have reliable vehicles so it's less chance things are failing on a monthly basis.
He did buy a new car last year and said I'm not allowed to mention anything, then politely asked if I do please let him know though haha
