Too much plastic on todays vehicles. In fact today's vehicles contain an average of 428 pounds (about 194 kg) of plastics and polymer composites, accounting for 50% of a vehicle's volume, yes 50%! The drawback to this that many of us mechanics are seeing include: High component failures: Intense heat cycling causes critical plastic components such as thermostat housings, coolant fittings, oil filter housings, and timing guides to become brittle, crack, and leak over a short time. Easily breakable components: Components made so fragile it is often impossible to remove without them breaking. As an automotive technician sometimes I feel like I am working on a cheap kids toy instead of a car! Unserviceable Assemblies: Instead of typically replacing a small, inexpensive gasket or component, mechanics are often forced to replace an entire expensive plastic assembly. Fragile Exterior Parts: Touchpoints like door handles and latches molded from plastic leading to sudden breakages when pulled with force. Critical Engine Failures: Automakers use plastic for high heat components like intake manifolds, oil pans, coolant housings, and thermostat assemblies that often leak or crack. Age and heat are a big enemy of plastic. Recycling Issues: Only a small fraction of the plastic in new vehicles comes from recycled sources, and most end-of-life vehicle plastics end up in landfills. Not good for the planet and microplastics are very bad for humans.

Do you ever get near the end of a book and hate the idea of finishing it? If I really love a book, the idea of it finally ending can make me sad.

A book can be very confronting. I love when a book challenges my way of thinking. Has a book ever changed your mind or generated new interest?

Did you hear about the guy who came stumbling out of the Mexican restaurant with salsa and cheese all over his face and shirt? He was clearly In-taco-cated. #NotSorry

Michelle knows policing can be dangerous in a country with too many handguns and too much Red Horse beer, but this knowledge doesn't prepare Michelle for what she has to confront only a few months into her career #CrimeFiction #Philippines @markmorey5 mybook.to/uhQu
