Yeah. No fuel pump issues. (is a completely different pump)

With 14 years of ownership of 2 VW Phaetons (both V8s), I can totally say the VW Phaeton’s reliability infamy is more myth than true:

Gear Shift lever looks straight outta an 80's Saab. That doesnt look like a Ford manual right away. 

Waiting patiently for Olmos to play the inevitable ‘Santana’ biopic and win an Academy Award. In person they almost look the same when the moustaches match.

Ah, the ‘Warren Market - Liquor Lotto’ store. That’s tells me this ride is pure class and the owner is a cultured gentleman.

Previously owned Saabs and Land Rovers - Then the VW Touareg V10 will be right up your alley. Mercedes knows what’s up. 

Hardcore lesson learned buying a Canadian Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback:

No effin’ way: It has the 3.0 7MGTE - No one remembers the Cressidas and Supras from 89-92 had a LOT of head gasket failures, taking the engine down with them. Toyota never recalled these engines, even though they tend to blow up badly unless you re-do the head gasket at proper torque.

Really?? Oh man, They are gonna be so disappointed when they find out the Supra 100% feels like a BMW...

I’m thinking the smaller, Turbo engined Stinger could be tuned to a happy 350HP at least and that would be awesome. But the shifter in the base stinger was sourced from leftovers of a 2006 Kia Rio. Seriously ugly. 

I dunno man. These are the ‘best case scenarios’ for cars with a salvage title. Gotta mention the other side. There are the scary ones (flooded, fire, actual frame damage, removed airbags, curbstoner pick-and pull-recycled cars) The BIG WARNING here: David is an automotive engineer, he eminently can make that call if…

“For Wong Foo, thanks for everything” would like to have a word with you about Mr. Snipes.

Doc Brown finally found the Car for the Sequel!!

“What’s your mother’s name? Martha! Whaaaa!” *HUGZ* basically.

Dunno guys, certainly brakes as a noob job is not exactly the safest approach to recommend. Plus, these guys seem very, very green. Get the master David Tracy to give a masterclass. Crescent wrench? GTFO

Wasn’t Mercedes looking to import a car? Let’s do this one! 

They are just saving Kim for the season finale. She’s gonna appear like Luke in ‘The Mandalorian’ CGI and all.

1st) That’s not good for Mitsu, last 3 years they have been hoping to build on Nissan platforms. If the alliance stops, Mitsubishi literally has 3 products on hand here (Mirage, Outlander(s) and the Eclipse) internationally they have 3 more, a pickup, a van and the leftover of the Pajero so losing Nissan right now…

I voted NP, just to flip this at BaT - VW bros with money to burn will easily pay $20K once I finish a light refresh. But for me? GTFO!

Yes and no. I wouldn’t call myself a mechanic. But the VAGCOM software is needed if you want to have two very special VWs. A mechanic can fix things, I can’t. But you dont need to be a mechanic to hook up a cable, run the auto-check and read the output and narrow down your diagnosis. I mean, as a VW guy, you know what…
