Discontinued vehicles should be purchased with caution. Here are the relevant details: 1. After discontinuation: For 10 years after a car model is discontinued, the supply of its parts is generally guaranteed. However, over time, it can indeed become difficult to purchase parts, especially for imported cars. While many manufacturers continue to supply parts after a model is discontinued, this service has a time limit. The issue may not be noticeable in the first few years, but it becomes more apparent as time passes. 2. Car maintenance: It is understandable for consumers to have concerns when purchasing used discontinued cars. These vehicles enter the used car market with an already outdated impression. It is common for such cars to have undergone repairs or encountered issues before being sold. Now, with the added factor of discontinuation, there is a high likelihood of future part-related problems, making car maintenance uncertain.

How Can Beginners Drive Straight?

Here are specific methods for beginners to drive straight: 1. First, hold the steering wheel steady and straight. Ensure the steering wheel is properly aligned and avoid making large turns; it should be held firmly. 2. Find suitable reference points on the road. Learn to identify appropriate reference points to help maintain straight driving over long distances, such as the center lane markings or roadside lines. 3. Looking far ahead makes it easier to drive straight. Beginners often struggle to keep the car straight on wide roads because the expansive space and broad view can make roadside and lane markings less noticeable as reference points.

What Causes Glass to Shatter?

Glass shattering mainly occurs due to the following reasons: 1. Stones, impurities, or bubbles in the glass: Impurities in the glass are weak points and stress concentration areas in tempered glass. Particularly, if stones are located in the tensile stress zone of tempered glass, they can be a significant factor leading to cracking. 2. Presence of nickel sulfide crystals in the glass: Nickel sulfide inclusions usually exist as small spherical crystals with diameters ranging from 0.1 to 2 mm; they appear metallic in appearance. These inclusions are NI3S2, NI7S6, and NI—XS, where X=0—0.07. Among them, only NI1—XS is the main cause of spontaneous shattering in tempered glass. 3. Defects such as scratches, chips, or deep edge cracks on the glass surface caused by processing or improper handling, which can easily lead to stress concentration or spontaneous shattering of tempered glass.
