I’m hereby creating the slang word “fitler” to mean a stubborn oil filter, someone who over-tightens an oil filter, or the act of over-tightening an oil filter.

e.g.:

1. Dude, this thing won’t budge. It’s being a fitler.
2. Looks like the previous owner was a fitler. This thing won’t budge.
3. Dude, the lube shop guy…

But why male models?

“I can’t imagine any carmaker trying to get away with something like this today”

The part is an Oil Filter. The person who tightened it is the Ol’ Fitler.

I should’ve stopped reading the first time Erin offered excuses for criminal behavior. But I kept reading and found more of it.

Also, how do you pay $3.5 million to someone you can’t track down ?

Ordering a car you have never driven is in line with another rule I have, which is to never buy a new car in its 1 year of production.

Nik should clarify if he lives in Boston or “Boston”. If he’s out in Waltham / Newton / Brighton and has garage parking those beautiful wagons make plenty of sense. If he’s in Boston proper and parking on the street, he should consider something that will live a short brutal life.

What a complete pain in the ass. Now every 18 months I have to have my assistant arrange to have my 5KM odo Bugatti picked up from my freeport climate controlled locker and trailered to the dealer and touched by other people to have the tires replaced?

Agreed. Nothing except an aircraft D-check would have caught this.

In a perfect FSD world there will be no stop lights, signs, nothing, just an incredible series of TERRIFYING yet orchestrated near misses...basically like driving in India :)

Hey, they mentioned Uber Eats, and Uber uses cars, so..... uh... car news?

Holy shit they actually designed a not ugly vehicle for a change. 

LOL, now do Youtube.  What’s Youtube?

Let me introduce you to the Ford Ecosport. 

How much for heated seats?

it’s a website for terrible people where 1 person plays a video game and everyone else posts pictures of people’s heads as fast as they can

I think we should all chip in and buy this property for David Tracy to store his Jeep collection and start a museum.

I was in the Army when the first Halo came out. We ran tons of CAT5 cable borrowed from work through the drop ceiling in the barracks to wire up xboxes across four rooms for LAN matches. So much Blood Gulch. Barracks life was pretty crap but that remains a fun memory.

Nice. I was in the Navy too when it came out on the USS Truman and we had a xbox setup in the CAG seat shop and would play it for hours a day. Great time waster while deployed.
