What is this car part under my 2012 Chevrolet Cruze?
Took off the tire for fixing a brake, found this behind the brakes with my Estonian friend of ~ 40 years who has mainly put his hands on BMWs and Volkswagens since he was a kid. Could not recognize this part or what it does. Curiosity got the best of us and now I'm here asking if anybody is smarter than us.

Thoughts on my car
I have a 2016 fiesta st, and I’m just curious. Some people see it as regular traffic and some see it as a cool car. I’m just curious if your in your car cruising and you see it cruising next to you, what would you think. (It’s to help settle a debate)And yes I know it doesn’t matter what others think it’s just a curiosity thing.

Is it normal to have a dealership wheel alignment fail after 2 months and 1.2k miles driven on 2019 Santa Fe?
So back on December 23rd, 2025, I had an alignment done at a dealership in North NJ on my 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe with 58,490 miles on it (I got new tires from Costco and I put in new brakes and pads). No issues with either. The first image is what they performed.

Yesterday, on February 24th, 2026, at 59,759 miles, I took the car back for a recall (another anti-theft one). They noted that I need another wheel alignment (see second picture)... after two months and about 1.2k miles of only road driving, let's say 50% highway.

The question: Is this indicative of a bad wheel alignment job (e.g. not locking in components, nuts, etc. when they were done) or a case of luck/bad conditions (pot holes, rough driving)? Note, I don't recall hitting any massive pot holes. Just wondering if this rarely happens or happens all the time since I would have thought the alignment would be in the green for a lot longer than it did. The dealership rep chalked it up to "driving in NJ".

Bullseye! Got my windshield popped.
Driving down the freeway early yesterday morning and got a popped windshield the size of an old silver dollar. Two weird things about it. One, the noise was so loud that my first though was what did I hit and why is my car not broken. Two, although on the freeway, it was early enough that no one was around so it couldn't be a rock that got thrown up.

If there is ever an AskReddit about something you believe but can't prove. mine will be that my windshield was hit by a tiny meteor.

Anybody know what the heck that warning light means?
Came on during my commute home. Nothing seems different and I have no clue what that means. Operator Manual is long gone.

Random paint on my car
I don’t know if this is even the place to ask, but I just noticed what looks like paint on the side of my car. It definitely was not there yesterday. I assumed someone hit my car and drove off, but it’s weird that it’s two different colors? Is there anyway to get this off

Cooled seats. The most underrated car feature!
Now I do prefer the heated seats (Where I live in the uk gets freezing and they are on most journeys). But it’s a neat feature for the summer.

Goes from an arse on a toaster, to an arse on an air hokey table!!! 🤣

What to do with "i11egal" car
Reposting cause idk what I did wrong the first time.

Hi all! This is Bernie (getting a new battery) and I love him. However I need to replace him as he is not street legal and I have already been pulled over for driving him without an inspection (due to not passing) :/

I'm not sure the best place to get advice on this, but I am trying to figure out what to do with my 2002 Chevy S10 that does not pass inspection in VA. It runs perfectly well but has extensive rust damage (thanks Midwest) and I have inquired with a local body shop that said it MIGHT be fixable but definitely would cost more than it's worth. What do I do with it? I can't sell it locally I assume as it isn't technically legal to drive. I am not expecting to sell it for much obviously but I need to replace it and I have no where to store it once I do so obviously it needs to go somewhere. Any advice or experience is appreciated!

Please help explain this
Spotted this while driving on the Autobahn outside of Munich. If you have any idea why or how this is taking place I would greatly appreciate some insight. The front tires are slightly obscured, but are normally installed. To me the car looks like its clenching so it can make it to the next rest stop.
