Used car inspection reveals BIOHAZARD danger 2020 Ford Fusion
This inspection of a 1yr old car ended rather quickly when the car was discovered to be unsafe to drive (or even sit inside of). It makes me wonder if those so-called "dealer inspections" are even real. FYI this was a "certified pre-owned" CPO car with OE and aftermarket warranties included in the sale. Warranty means nothing, since I am quite sure that no warranty would cover this issue. This leaves the dealer wide open for a fraud and personal injury law suit don't you think?

Car dealer parking lot has a smoldering electrical box
While in Colorado Springs for a pre-purchase used car checkout inspection I was surprised to find this e-box (for the lamp posts) making a weird noise. The street lights were all working, but the two nearest the box were not lit. CALL AN ELECTRICIAN!

Ford Ranger 4.0L timing chain noise sound file
There is a random "clack" noise that repeats frequently. I didn't know what it was at first but later confirmed that the noise could only be caused by a timing chain issue.
