My first brand new car, a 1983 Firebird V6 5-speed manual (yes I am old) that leaked fluids from every system... brown, red, green, yellow.

I’d venture a guess that there are more dealership horror stories than moocher wanna-be buyer stories. Just looking at the raw numbers suggests it...

For your entertainment...

Except that the paint is worn off UNDER that cover....so it must stay on.

Don’t lift if a FWD oversteers! ADD throttle, it pulls the car out of the OS. Counter intuitive for RWD drivers.

I had a 300 in an Econoline - the window van version. Smooth as glass, fuel efficient and buckets of torque. You could NOT overheat that lump no matter how hard you worked it.

He humped the curb. That launched him over. Too bad he didn’t have the presence of mind to turn left to put the car back on 4 wheels.

It is Germany, not the US. You accept the risk and can’t sue if you fuck up.

Different car altogether. Its the GTP ZX-T. But still had about 1000 hp and the Electramotive pair dominated IMSA GTP for several seasons. It would have been a bit slow at Le Mans because the downforce it made could yank your pants down as it passed! That’s why the R90CK was chosen to represent Nissan at Le Mans.

Electric buses exist. Battery power ones to run between power lines are easily done and less costly to buy. Plus they don’t require rails, very expensive rails. hard to navigate around stalled or illegally parked cars rails.

Yuck, Firecracker-up-Kermit’s-ass green. I HATE green cars.

Ford’s twin I beam, the moron cousin of real independent suspensions. Fed by copious quantities of front tires and as likely to hop and wobble as almost any SFA. I’ve seen many dribbling the front tire like a basketball running down the highways.

F350's have beam axles not IFS in the front from what I can see on Rockauto

Unless, of course, you already have those kinds of stories....

No, motorcycles go into tank slappers because their frames are inadequately stiff relative to the tire stiffness along with inadequate damping either in steering or forks. Bit of a stretch there to tie it to solid axle Jeeps

I saw the death wobble cousin, the uncontrolled axle tramp on an old stock CJ running down I-75. The driver almost crashed trying to slow the Jeep and pull over.

The whole solid axle suspension design is at fault. It is sooo sensitive to slight problems in any one component that it seems every Jeep guy owns brown trousers, just in case....

That $10K is only the down payment on a high maintenance woman like Jaime Pressly. Once you’ve HAD a woman like that, you don’t want another! Hell, you can’t AFFORD another!

10 Grand for an 85 Subie Brat!!??
