There is also the possibility that the car makes just forward this tax to the consumer, instead of absorbing it.

That’s probably the joke.

She wasn’t filling it up, someone else was filling it up for her. And it was an S class, so no key to put into an ignition.

You should see what people think about posting on anonymous online blogs, to total strangers, about expensive things which rapidly depreciate— most of which few of us can afford without taking on debt...and even worse, most of us couldn’t even drive to their potential, either due to lack of skill or environment.

Antagonizing people for being a different race? That’s not what’s happening...at least not as you’re inferring.

Lawyered.

It was an incredibly ignorant comment. As the person said, this isn’t about “political correctness”. Political correctness usually includes language that may be insensitive, but isn’t meant to directly offend. Think comedians.

Right, they probably weren’t literally looking around for that long.

You’re still trying to tow a multi-ton vehicle that has four functional tires (greater contact patch), and is using that traction advantage to brake.

That’s a good question, but it’s useful in both directions.

(Just my opinion)

Nice avatar. :)

“Wait, so everyone’s surprised”

A number of my saves have had a degree of luck layered over the top, lol. Once I don’t wreck my sh*t and live to learn, I don’t care what it’s called, lol.

They probably mean more in the low end, where most people assume is the only place torque exists.

But then the intake wouldn’t be able to pull in air without serious replumbing, lol.

Simple and to the point.

Replacing those solenoids and old rubber hoses that have been roasted with high heat over the years, isn’t fun.

More likely, they don’t want to be on the hook for liability and so they go conservative on the maintenance. Without specialized builds for different areas and driving styles, it’s much easier and cost-effective to fit all with one size (recommendation). A frequent oil change is cheap insurance.

It’s an argument of semantics.
