Ahh, there is is...the ALL CAPS to really drive your point home. It makes you sound like a MAGA hate wearing moron. 

You can bet money there is data on the quality of factories based on country and every other metric you can think of. It’s also not going to ever become public info.

Everyone says the Brexit is going to be bad for British car companies...I’m not so sure. Has anyone other than me noticed the huge increase in the number of various Rovers and Jags on the roads? It seems like they’re all over the place now-and that’s pretty new.

Don’t even need to read it. I saw the color. I saw the Extreme. I saw the 4.3 Vortec, and all I have to say is:

I mean, I realize there are people who eat like this every damn day and it’s horrible-but that isn’t the restaurants fault. If you go have one of these crazy things every few months as a treat-have at it.

I mean, it’s not even a good anecdote...it’s totally irrelevant.

Yes, I’m sure your 22 year old Alfa, driven an average of 3100 miles per year, is a relevant benchmark for someone considering a new Giulia.

This story isn’t even a little bit surprising. Any of it. Parking on the lawn and plugging in...overnight. Then not even apologizing or offering a few $$. You see this attitude expressed online all the time-here it is in real life. 

For the life of me, I have no idea why Ford tries to sell this vehicle in the UK and not in the US.

I’ve owned both an older Kompressor MB (2.3L 4 cylinder) and an S4 (3.0T). Each are entertaining in their own way. Obviously the S4 is much faster.

You know how bloggers get annoyed with pedantic grammar and spelling nazi’s in the comments section? Yes, that’s happened to you Justin? Complaining about this is the equivalent from you (IMHO).

Some people like sleepers. 

Very very fast acceleration, excellent handling, and with the AWD it’s very controllable. Some people prefer sleepers. Myself included. 

CP and not for the lack of turbo. CP for the big unknown-and the (presumably) very expensive parts and mechanic (or tools, if you’re a DIY) to make it work.

IE, you can have a full tank of diesel and still be low on engine oil. Am I understanding that? 

I mean, maybe I’m totally wrong. But oil sealed in to lubricate the engine doesn’t seem like it would be burned with the fuel during combustion. I’m really not interested enough to look it up. 

You’re confusing style with substance. This car is very deliberately about substance-not style. It also is very Japanese and appeals to someone with a very traditional Japanese mindset. So no, you don’t “get it” at all. 

Yes-but that isn’t the same oil that lubes the engine components. 

Particularly a large diesel truck getting abused in a battlefield.

I’m guessing engines in 1940 were a lot more sensitive to low oil than ours are now. Particularly big diesel truck engines getting heavy usage.
