@TampaRon: When they showed up with the turbos, I was intrigued - too new for my cheap blood, but another time, another place...
@IN THE FACE!: " turbo-diesel option I would be completely sold..."
"Oh well, at least they're keeping the XC70. That's the one I wanted anyway."
@Sth002000: "$19.99 oil change"
@Pessimippopotamus: I might be incorrect, but in my brain is lodged firmly the idea that any forced-induction vehicle always gets premium. That being said, I've been to several gas stations where the pumps are in random order, and put in a grade I didn't mean to, due to inattention.
@Flathead Smith: " After the age of sixty or seventy, license renewal s would be no longer necessary. "
@alfasud: It's because in the beginning, we were all hoping this was some kind of crack in the armor of Toyota, and that their own hubris would take them down.
@Maymar: Obviously, the obligation has to end somewhere. But in the case of "what if all the oil leaked out?" I would still lay the blame on the dealership. He had it in for service, they should be checking that kind of thing. What if, for instance, Service Tech 1 had left the oil plug off, and then Service Tech 2…
@beercheck: we used to drive my buddy's jeep around the parking lot with the starter. I don't know why.
@Maymar: " couldn't be entirely expected to know"
@beercheck: "Just give 'em the damned key."
@brandegee: " I do this all the time on level surfaces because I have too many bad memories of sticking or broken e-brakes."
@TheTonyShow: " If I poured rock salt down my oil fill tube before leaving the car at the dealership "
@clevemire: "the dealer shouldn't have tried to use a specific system that they weren't familiar with."
For $4k, that'd be a steal. For $5, it might just be worth it. For $6, it's just a little tiny crack pipe. The kind of purchase I wouldn't condemn my friends for, but it's not the one I'd make.
@pres - alienate/commentate: How you liking this weather? I'm about an hour north of you, just east of Harrisonburg.
@Skunky: Just under $500 for me, but I've got comprehensive ;)
@BLCKSTRM: I'd love to get a final ruling on this, the internet seems to have many different opinions. Everyone seems to agree that you get the $5 fine if you get pulled over, but every OFFICIAL notice I've read has said that the fine is between $70-$500, like in most states.
