Yep. An OBS Ford has been my dream truck since I was a kid. I just bought this one about a month ago with the 7.3L non-turbo IDI diesel.

You rehashed everything I said in my reply...I mentioned phones not on contract. But hey, you win. I’ll just say you win 15,000 internet points because exerting enery on this crap isn’t even worth it.

I never understood this argument. What average person pays retail for a cell phone? I’ve had a new iPhone every other year since the 3G and haven’t ever paid more than $100 for one. You sign a contract, you get a steep discount on a phone. Or you do the pay as you go without a contract and never notice you’re paying…

Trailers tend to do a lot of sitting. Sitting bearing grease that’s pretty much out in the air can turn to a thick, sludgy substance sort of like pine rosin. On a car, the bearings heat up and cool down regularly, so the grease is getting “worked” and doesn’t halfway solidify. Sort of like how the oil in a car’s…

I bought a 2000 S70 about three months ago that had a few little issues here and there, but nothing major. Radio code, power antenna, cabin air filter, weird oil filter housing, tranny drain and fill, etc. Every single time I searched for something on Google, his videos came up, so I subscribed. I haven’t really had…

1998 Audi A4 Avant. I knew better - I read Jalopnik everyday. I thought it wouldn’t be that bad. I was wrong. I bought it in March of this year and sold it in July of this year. Every week (not an exaggeration) it either sprung a new leak or something broke. It was an automatic with the “sealed for life” transmission…

Agreed. I don’t remember where I read it, possibly Doug DeMuro, but it said something to the effect of: “The people who say there is still such a thing as German reliability are the same people who trade in their Mercedes Benz for a new one every three years.”

I’m saying nothing happened at all. The whole backstory was fabricated because it makes no sense, and it was all made up to make it seem interesting when posted on the internet. More than likely a car with mechanical issues that exceeded the value, so they made an entertaining video before it went to the scrap yard…

I think you missed the point. There is a reason Audi’s depreciate like a rock. After a certain (short) amount of time they are worthless. I sold the Audi and bought a sixteen year old Volvo. Guess what? It isn’t falling apart and hasn’t depreciated as horribly as an Audi of similar vintage.

Same situation. When a major component breaks on an Audi over a few years old, they’re destined for the scrapyard.

I’m going to call shenanigans on this. Only because I owned a B5 Audi A4 and they are useless. Meaning, they’re only worth about $2000 (at least around Atlanta) in running condition, so if the timing belt snaps or the tranny grenades itself, you’re better off junking it than fixing it. I sold my 1998 A4 Avant for…

I own a single cab F150. I’m a carpenter (furniture maker) and have to go to my lumber yard about twice a week for materials that are 12ft long or more, so a single cab with an 8ft bed is exactly what I need since I don’t have kids or anything. Why did I seek out a single instead of an extended or crew cab? Because…

Thanks! It’s the absolute best car I could have picked up for the money, I’m sure.

Love this car. I would have probably enjoyed a wagon more as I replaced an Audi A4 Avant with this. But finding a manual Volvo in the states, much less a wagon is very difficult. Haha

I looked up the YouTube videos on it already and they sound really good. Haha. But I’m keeping this one as a stock daily driver for now. I have a 200 six in my ‘63 Comet that sounds just as nice, so I’ll make do with that one for the time being.

Not an 850, but essentially a facelifted 850. I bought this S70 two weeks ago with 111k, 2.4L NA 5 cylinder, full Volvo dealer service history from its single owner, and a 5speed manual for $2500. I never thought I would love a front wheel drive car, but this thing is fantastic.

I mean, it does say the car had a full respray, so if you do that right, you take the bumper covers and side skirts off. On the otherhand, if you do that right, you also dial in the panel gaps on reassembly. Who knows on a Honda with a theft history? Haha.

I really don’t get all of the Spirit hate. I use them at least once a month between ATL and ORD. They’re always on time or often early to the gate and do what I want them to do - fly me to where I am going. I put a movie on my laptop and call it good. I have a $40 bag that fits into their “personal item”…

Their current ad structure is on a “per click” basis. Meaning those Nike ads and such have to pay Instagram $.02 or so every time someone taps the ad. Minimum for that is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, so that system won’t work for anything but large corporations. If they use the Facebook model of business…

What you’re not considering are the people who own small businesses and depend on that feed being in chronological order for exposure. Whether you believe me or not, if you do something for a living that involves creating something aesthetically pleasing, Instagram is THE marketing platform to use. I would 100% not be…
