This comment deserves all the stars in the Milky Way.

So what you are saying is I need to buy a shipping ship that can ship shipping ships?

Yes, and with all that in mind, I do believe all of the “contributing factors” are relevant, despite the author’s apparent disgust:

Thank you for saying exactly what I wanted to say. Assigning blame is for courts. NTSB reports are for everybody to learn something in the interest of safety, not punishment. 

Just an FYI, because this comes up every time the NTSB publishes a report:

Dude, mixed tapes. Especially from the radio. Burning CDs wasn’t an (affordable) thing until this 38 year-old was a freshman in college, let alone the true Gen-Xers that had to figure out creative ways to make mixed tapes.

Mitsubishi has had so many corporate scandals (not issuing recalls for serious defects, fuel economy cheating, etc.) it’s a surprise they can afford to build anything. Their reputation in their home market has been in the toilet for two decades. In Japan, reputation is a serious thing.

Tennessee strippers...

So you’re saying Mitsubishi should buy a corvette and date a stripper?

You are ridiculous for your comment. Your families systems happen to be the few that didn’t have the issue, but to make a claim that so many people dont know how to take care of their systems is complete bull dong. When does a handful of People speak up for hundreds of people with complaint of this same issue?

Man, you’re so smart, of course not one person out of all the people experiencing this issue have tried to fix it with simple remedies. Or have tried cleaning it after taking it apart.  They’ve all just sat around and complained without researching the problem.

So like many Nintendo problems before it can be solved by blowing on it?

This! I’d have driven it home, parked it and waited for the dealership to call me when it was “ready”.

imagine if she DIDN’T tell them where the truck was... and returned to ask them. She should’ve let them sweat it out a bit. Stealing it back was genius.

I mean, the schlub at the bottom used her truck for a Lowe’s run. He deserved to be fired.

“...AND washed the car inside and out...”

I should note that I DID fill the tank AND washed the car inside and out before returning it to Todd and Selinsgrove Ford. 

Senior year in high school I wanted a nice car for prom. I went down to Selinsgrove Ford, where my family had gotten cars and service since I was little. I spoke to the owner Todd and told him I wanted a car for Prom, knew it was a long shot, but could I rent a car from him for Prom night.

My current car.
