My first car, a ‘73 (I think) VW Type 3 fastback went through voltage regulators like some people go through Q-Tips. My mechanic was just throwing new parts at it to try to solve the issue but the car rotted away before it was ever solved.

Focus group: “we want an electric car that doesn’t look like an electric car”
I don’t want to have to go out and buy a Monster Energy hat.
I rented a convertible LeBaron just like that on a trip to the Florida Keys. The very first thing I noticed was the seatbelt prong thing was laced backwards onto the actual belt so it needed to be twisted to work. I remember thinking “if they can’t get THAT right...”
There must be a conversion chart somewhere, because Canada uses metric years.
I thought the MKT was a good choice, but then I saw one on the road yesterday and thought it looked like a hearse. Still, I don’t know this guy’s relationship with his parents...
Must have been raining
Used Volkswagen? CP.
My parents had a big passenger van when I was in high school, and one day I got a call from my friend’s sister. The entire cheerleading squad needed a ride to the game. I could barely steer, and the brakes were pretty much useless, but I got them there, and a kiss on the cheek from one of them. BEST DAY EVER.
I just sold our extended E-150. Daughter going to college and more than the wife and I needed for just the two of us, but dang...still stings.
I just know some day I’ll get home and the power will be out and I’ll be locked out of my house. That’s why I had some keys made and stashed them in the yard. No idea where, but they’re probably still stashed.
As a mountain biker who has never lost a key but remains paranoid it’ll happen, I’ve always been jealous of this option. Not jealous enough to own a Ford, but jealous nonetheless.
Saw the picture, knew it was you
I went to replace a headlight...opened hood, looked at what had to be disconnected, closed hood, called mechanic.
I actually like this little Rogue, and would be more than happy to rent one.
I met a woman once who said she was in “direct sales” or something like this and with a little nudging she admitted she was a spam caller. She was a very nice lady just trying to make enough for food and rent. God I hate her.
In the early ‘90's I dated a girl who’s dad just bought her a car. He said it was a red Mazda, which in those days meant it was probably going to be something pretty special. Nope, when she went to pick it up it wasn’t a red Mazda, it was an orange Monza (insert sad trombone noise).
I had the same 2012 GTI and after about 60k miles I wasn’t able to sleep thinking about the tensioner chain. I’d read that the change happened DURING the 2012 model year, so it was a gamble whether I had the old or new. I took it in to the dealer (my other mechanic said they’d best use VW parts for a job like this,…
Yikes! I hope they made good after the survey. Or at least you live in a place where you can take your business elsewhere (which I ultimately did)
