Two massive car manufacturing giants sit down to design a predecessor to one of the most highly sought after vehicles of the past 25 years and manages to create a design that’s “good”(insert shrug), not offensive on the eyes, has decent lines, is progressive enough to stay relevant for a few years, but yet lacks to…

I wouldn’t call the differences between any two of those generations radical. Granted, design was much tamer back then so it’s hard to be radically different within the constraints of manufacturing back then, but the delta between the MKIV and MK5 is significant.

At very least, they needed to keep the tails, as I’ve…

Wait a minute!  There’s a new Toyota Supra? 

Well that just ruined my late night booty-call narrative..

As a Land Cruiser guy, I have to point out that even a beat-up, clapped-out old FJ62 likely would have started in that instance.

The grammatical errors in the posting make me wonder if the car passed 228-point inspection, or if you have to pass a 228-point inspection.

P1: Why wont my car sell?

I would say whatever I thought the previous owner wanted to hear.

Good fit, re-homing and in ALL CAPS

“Hey, thanks for the date, but my Jeep won’t start. I’ll need duct tape, a hammer and the use of your dishwasher”

Ticking Mustang engine = growling human stomach; these are just facts.

It’s cause they’re hungry.

Sadly, this car’s story isn’t all added horsepower and rainbows. The S4 Avant was totaled by his insurance company after a crash in December.

but what if he would have rolled after impact?

As an engineer myself you still have to design products for the customer and since GM products are the only ones with accidental curtain deployment it seems they are to blame. It’s not unreasonable to accept more risk to prevent a misfire that costs $6400. Especially if owners start disabling their airbags which is…

None of those “what ifs” happened though. He hit a pothole at 19mph, if you can’t design an airbag system that can tell the difference between that and the car flipping over, try harder or let someone else design it.

GM didn’t want to help with the damages.

“GM’s response in these cases has been to deny the warranty altogether, stating that the system acted as it should have to prevent injury.”
