So by your reckoning, these are chickens?

Instructions on the packaging?????? WTF? You don’t make them from scratch? Grate, wrap in cheesecloth and twist the water out of them, microwave on plate for 3-4 minutes. Portion, vacuum seal and freeze. Then thaw, brown in peanut oil, (high flash point...my fav) enjoy!

Saw too many of these in the upside down and I wasn’t even in Hawkins, Indiana.

Perhaps he refers to Ford Pinto models where the fuel tanks would rupture and explode on rear impact?

A few comments.

The thing that astounds me is that the same firms that built the 727 Torqueflights (sp?) and THM 350 and 400 would later produce crap like the aforementioned Chrysler units and the THM 200. One thing I have heard about the Dakota transmissions though is that when the fluid is changed, there is a “band adjustment???”

I agree something has to change and being an unemployed old IT worker, job outsourced, tech IS the next frontier. Tech is a white collar job with corporate blue collar labor practices. The problem is that unions have an image problem. The owner class has long portrayed a unions as corrupt and shielding bad performers.

Finally, someone noticed! Rafael should not let his facial grow out. Beards do not have bare areas like that. Bare areas are not allowed. There are far too many men who call not shaving a beard. And when did not shaving your neck and pretending it’s a beard become acceptable?

Clutch, flywheel and main seal in 2010. Clutch, flywheel, main seal and IMS in 2019. 100K miles in 20 years or 5K miles a year. New clutch and flywheel every 45-50K miles????? Something ain’t right. CP!

After a lot of frustration with updates always screwing things up, I came to the conclusion that running windows in Bootcamp on a Mac was much less painful. 

If all these things show up as issues, it does not strike me as “terrifically reliable”. Maybe age and years of being around later model MBs and BMWs has jaded me.

You bought a high mileage M3 and you aren’t good at wrenching?????
Are you a masochist?

It looked fat when it was new and still does today. 

THANK YOU! It was driving my OCD addled brain into overdrive.

I can’t unsee that there is one whitewall and one blackwall tire on each side, and each pair is not on the same axle. 

CP.

It works really well for the perfectly toasted look on a grilled cheese sandwich. 

It’s 12 years old, German, and an AUDI. There is no such thing as cheap, German, and used. 

Whatever they do, Hyundai has to kill the Theta-II engine. They refuse to define what causes the conn-rod bearing failures. Well they did say debris from a deburring process, but they also said that was fixed around 2011. If it was fixed, why are they extending engine warranties on 2015 models?
