Exact same experience for me. 

It’s not.

Doubt it. And the settings are called Comfort, Sport, and Advanced. 

I’m probably the only person here brave stupid crazy enough to daily a rare and costly to fix R.

I should finally be let out of the greys for this. Come on.

It may be stupid but the replacement cost seems on par for the cost of the vehicle to be started. Here’s a comparison with a 15 year old Volvo.

That’s the stereotype for Boomers. Unparalleled economic growth, cheap homes, cheap cars, good jobs with no education, pensions, etc.

I remember first learning about this on an episode of Trucks! one Saturday or Sunday morning. That was so long ago I don’t remember if the channel was Spike, Spike TV, The National Network, or The Nashville Network.

Even worse, it could be a 4500 flat bed that’s hauling one of the other models after a crash.

Perfection.

They did and as far as I know, it was only for models with EyeSight...because it prevented EyeSight from working. Nothing to do with public safety.

Subaru installed a brake light switch with an absurdly high failure rate. Dunno what happens on a manual but the CVT models won’t shift out of park unless you bypass the interlock. The car will show a bunch of traction control errors on the dash but no bulb failures so I’m sure plenty of drivers just ignore those…

It’s not even the following Saturday!

When I had my FZ-07 I accidentally started off in 2nd and 3rd several times. That bike barely noticed. 1st was so short you could essentially dump the clutch without throttle and it would go.

You’re all wrong. It was definitely some Puerto Rican guy.

The NOS must flow.

Forte’s delivery of basically any line is gold.

Yep. Back then FD owners were more than willing to part with them.

The stock distributors were pretty unreliable. Mine had the internal coil and/or another part failing when I bought it. It would run fine till you tried to floor it or gave it a load, then it would stutter and fall on it’s face. The OBDI cars could be cheaply fixed with a hacked-in GM HEI unit. The OBDII cars required…
