Yeah, I couldn’t find any hits for Network Administrator or System Administrator. Those are pretty general positions in IT.

I miss the visibility of the late 80’s and early 90’s, look at all that window!

You’d be surprised what they come up with. They also show how all the PPM on various things compare to other customers with the same engine. If they see something of concern they’ll call it out, when I bought my Jetta TDI used with 130,000 on the clock and no warranty, the first thing I did was an oil change and sent…

I know of multiple people, from different states, who all either directly did, or knew someone who did, jerk off in Papa John’s pizza sauce.

Or you could follow the manufacturer’s specified OCI and send out oil samples to a lab at every other change; way cheaper insurance and actual feedback on the condition of your engine internals.

Meanwhile, they’re shutting down coal power plants left and right and not replacing that base load capacity.

Don’t be a dick! But yeah...

I’m not sure about the older vehicles, but I can say from experience that my ‘12 F150 has a tarpit algorithm of sorts. I’ve given the code to someone once to charge their phone in my truck, they fat-fingered the code too many times and locked the keypad out for over 30 minutes, it would just blink and not accept…

Not true, the master code is permanently burned in but you can add codes as well, I’ve done this on my ‘12 Raptor.

Oh, my girlfriend also has an ‘11 Chevy Cruze Eco with the 1.4 turbo. Its running the Trifecta tune; besides a vacuum leak and an external coolant leak it has had 83,000 trouble-free miles on it so far.

My mom had an ‘02 Audi A4 with the 1.8T, it had 138,000 relatively trouble-free miles on it when they traded it in. My dad had an ‘00 Saab 9-3 Viggen that had several ignition issues, amongst other things over the ~80,000 miles that they had it, but none of them were turbo or internal engine related issues though. I…

My Jetta TDI with the tune it left the factory with only did 0-60 in 10 actually. I’m not debating the cool factor of this car, just saying that it’s impractical for me given the price and the range/recharging limitations it currently has.

Just because you don’t regularly take road trips doesn’t mean that’s the driving habit of the average person. I’m not debating the cool factor of this car either, I’m just saying that given the price, it’s not really practical as a daily driver for me. Sorry to get your panties all in a bunch.

I just throw a lid on my pan whenever I cook eggs over easy, low heat and they turn out perfect like that.

Like almost every turbo diesel car ever made.

I guess if you’re ok with paying 80 grand for a car that can barely leave the state on a road trip; that's not really practical for most folks.

500mi might seem a bit outrageous, but you can fill your 250mi car up and immediately set back out on the road without waiting hours to charge it.

My Jetta TDI easily goes 650 miles on a tank, there are plenty of vehicles that go >500mi on a tank.
