What is this, a cross over episode? (Speaking of dated references...).

At first I wasn’t sure the math was mathing here... $2.8 million total at 672 cars is an average of $41,600. But... passes the smell test at least.

None of this makes any sense to me. I guess the complaint is that the fridge you get with your car (a ridiculous thought to begin with frankly...) isn’t good enough. But just.. buy a real one and not these plastic fantastic useless ones.

One day I’ll be right. It wasn’t that day though.. 

Funny how things like that level of frustration can really trigger you. You’d think watching my dad take two weeks to die of a stroke - slowly losing himself piece by piece, day by day, in front of my very eyes until he withered away to a husk - would be my worst day. But somehow, it wasn’t.

I wonder what the mesh screen on the exhaust pipe is? Maybe it’s tamper-proofing, and the manufacturer knows that owning this will subject you to many banana/potatoes in the tailpipe? Lord knows I’d do that, and worse, if I saw Alex Jones out and about in this thing.

Crack Pipe. 

It’s been pretty remarkable watching it happen. And a LOT has happened since 2020 when that article was written. I grew up in Woodstock, NY - mecha of hippy nonsense. It has been fascinating watching anti-vaxxers who were horrified when Trump was elected aligning themselves with a surprising amount of far-far right…

Apparently you haven’t faced constant exposure to the endless noise from various far-right lunatics about how seed oils are causing transgenderism, all of our heart problems, and turning our nation of manly men into soyboy cucks.

It must be so fun freewheeling through the world being blissfully ignorant or intentionally obtuse.

Yeah the frame replacement was a wild one. My mom’s laughably old Taco got a frame replacement. So, good on them for that... And yeah, I have to assume the engine replacement is a hefty bit of money when multiplied by the number of trucks they might have to do..

Shame. Beautiful and historic ship. Shame about the environment too. Seems like a bum move from the former owner... 

What’s crazy is that I still have this argument with people who, 30 years later, still thing it was some frivolous suit. Took a class in law school about product liability torts and corporate response and we went over this case. I’ll never get the image of those burns out of my mind.

What can certainly be said is that Toyota is taking accountability and fixing the issue. They’ve done great at that, and good for them. I have no idea what each re-build costs them, but I bet it was a pretty penny...

My concern was that the Tundra recall was related to debris that “may” be present in the engine, and was never a fully-solved event. And I’m not sure that Toyota is being all that transparent about it.

I love the idea. And I loved Saturn!

Looks like even Toyota isn’t immune from new-model-itis. I sure wouldn’t recommend a Tacoma/Tundra to anyone I know for another year or so.

2022 Volvo V60.

Kinda racist, though, eh..?

Rumors on other sites suggest one of them was doing a u-turn in the middle of the road. Anyone at Jalop hear that?
