with a fleet of german cars she better be well versed in electric troubleshooting. 

in ohio you have to show proof that you have insurance on your other vehicles before signing the paperwork and you are good to go. sometimes the dealer checks with your agent, sometimes they don’t. you need to get insurance within 72 hours though

most cars nowadays have only one failure point, the BIU. interior and exterior lights, door locks, wipers usually goes through that. Some makes even use the ignition key through the BIU, even if you have an actual key. 

it would make sense for the 18650s used in vape devices, but those ultrafires are not a high discharge rate battery for that. The high discharge rate don’t have the positive end capped like those. Useless fact of the day. 

the pickup of the pump is always in the same spot. And crap tends to fall at the bottom of the tank. regardless how full it is.

i worked for a tier 2 supplier, and the crap that was ignored on the assembly line was just outrageous. parts with missing bolts, washers and cross threaded bolts were common. The assembly line would actually reject the part during testing and refuse to print a label to be attached to the finished product. Workers…

you are right on the learning part. I bought an intake for my wrx and did not do the tune. for the first 100 miles or so it would just lean out, detect small knock and pull the timing. it finally learned, but also i bought a map for the intake to be on the safe side. 

it will flatten the mountain. Problem solved :)

all you hear is that GM got bailed, but there are tons of other suppliers that would have folded if they let GM and Chrysler go under, and there is no mention in the press about the suppliers.

or balls of steel

I just say “I was doing great, then you called” when they ask me how i am doing. they drop off for a few weeks after that

the 5x100 Subaru bearings are shit. I went through 3 sets on an o5 legacy 25.i, not the GT. Same with my mom’s 07 outback 2.5i, and i diod not drive that car. the 2015+ wrx uses the same bearings as the STI and so far i had only the right rear that was noisy since 50 miles on the odo

I-77 from the Oh-WV border to somewhere in NC., al lthose twists in the roar really makes it fun, plus the views of the mountains are awesome too. 

i think the problem is with the D part of TDI

the last FXT had the FA20DIT engine currentlty doing its duty in the 2015+ wrx. I really can’t see any turbo lag, except when i refuse to shift from 6th and bury the go pedal at 55mph, which seems to clean up the carbon buildup pretty good though.

there used to be a Pontiac and Honda dealer in Cleveland before they went under same lot, same building. Also i can remember some Toyota and GM dealers before GM shrunk it’s dealer base

finally someone gets it. Having worked in automotive the difference between a manual seat frame and an electric one was a matter of $20

they would not be reduced. there is always an asshole trying to outdo the traffic and speed limit. I always feel comfortable for what the PSL is plus 10 over. If there is not traffic i am not afraid to give it the beans

TBH that is a car that even under the commie rule everyone was making fun of. i lived there for the first 18 years of my life

that is CPO only. When we bought our Odyssey honda dealer would not let us touch one of their lot because they had a stop sale because of the middle row seats. We found an Oddy at the toyota dealer and they said no problem, you just sign that there is a recall and we sell you the car. We had a minivan 2 hours later.…
