I just posed the same thing.  Self-driving spy cars ..... then ..... a fax.

The juxtaposition of an article about self driving cars spying on the Chinese government that ends with this line:

You have to figure that all of the rubber and fluids will probably need to be replaced if it is going into daily driver usage. So a few thousand for replacing all the belts, hoses, timing belt ($$$), brake hoses, tires, and any dried out gaskets that start to leak once its back in service. So it will end up being more…

My Dad had a 98 m3/4/5 in this color. Technoviolet over dove grey. It was so cool.

Seller watched too many BaT auctions...
No dice!

I miss mine so much. What a great car. Mine was a 6-speed, non sport package, but it was still a ton of fun and handled great.

Ohh. Didnt think of that.  6v53T all the way

Cummins 4bt swap. Make it loud, heavy and slow.

No one would bother if it only said “Emissions fault”
“Check Engine” adds some gravitas to the warning that can concern people enough to act. 

Don’t forget that some of them were Subarus too. Don’t discriminate!

We can finally have a revival of the Celica Vs. Eclipse that we’ve wanted for so long.

As if they weren’t enough of a disease vector to start.

I thought it would Niva work

This is a great option for a winter beater. I’m tempted, but I’m not sure why I feel the need to save my slightly rusty 2008 tundra. Closing the barn door after the horse already got out I guess.

=n+1 for in-warranty land rovers
=2^(n+1) for out-of-warranty land rovers.

Where n= the number of land rovers you want.

Hammering on a cheap socket is pretty much the accepted method for removing wheel locks in the absences of the key. When my dad owned a shop, they kept a set of craftsman sockets for just that purpose. Gotta love that lifetime warranty. No one was going to do that to an expensive snap-on or matco.

A 5x overpriced 24 hours of Lemons car.

No worries. I did have a motorcycle or ATV or something (don’t remember exactly which one) that did have a “full” plug instead of a dipstick, but was separate from the fill or drain plugs. It was a small bolt that you would remove as you filled the oil, until it ran out of the plug.

That however, was not my intent.…

Yeah, thats a typo.

Always take the full plug out BEFORE the drain plug.
