I own a high mileage VW and an under warranty Ford, shit breaks just as much on the Ford. At least on the VW I can hook VCDS (VagComm) up to it for a reasonable price and do all the computer shit. On the Fords, your only option is a $5,000/mo subscription/license for Ford IDS to do the same things.

Ugh, Canola oil is gross, especially when you fry anything with it. It imparts this acrid, bitter flavor, almost as if you’d heated it beyond its smoke point (even though you haven’t).

I seriously doubt recycling a car consumes even remotely less energy than constructing one from raw materials.

VW parts aren't really that expensive, actually.

They spook easily because they’re a prey animal, its a survival instinct. The ones that didn’t bolt at the sight of a plastic Kroger bag flapping in the wind were all mauled to death by Cougars, Tigers, Lions and died off long ago.

Horses will drive themselves. If going somewhere familiar, you can pretty much stop paying attention until you get there.

And since you keep bringing the rape thing up, just for the record; any guy that rapes somebody and it can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, should absolutely be castrated.

You’re really bad at analogies and reading comprehension. You also seem to think that I think that the aggressor in any of these situations is at no fault, that is absolutely not the case. Also, did you even read the story? The part where he said: “I told [my girlfriend] to hold on because I didn’t know how bad it was…

From what I gather, the difference here is that the GM vehicles offer WiFi connectivity to the internet, not directly to interfaces inside of the ECU, only OnStar has access to the interfaces in the ECU. Mitsubishi is utilizing WiFi to provide remote controls through an app, like a cheap-ass jankity version of OnStar…

That’s a lame analogy, no. Let me improve it: If a nicely dressed woman goes out to a bar, meets an attractive yet somewhat skeezy guy, feels way more buzzed than she should after he bought her one drink and then decides to leave her friends and go home with him alone. She gets roofied and you know the rest of the…

No, just get the fuck out of the way and get over. The Z’s actions absolutely did endanger others as he knew he was escalating the situation based upon his account of the story. This story here is exactly what can happen when you F with crazy people you don’t know and it not only puts the self righteous person in the…

Hardly anyone here (but the sociopaths) are defending what the truck did, but when you play games like that, you might fuck with the wrong person and put not only your myopic self, but everyone around you on the road at risk as well. Its not worth it, get the fuck over and let that asshole pass. I travel a lot and see…

I believe if they are running extremely lean or rich, or missfire the CEL will flash to warn you of impending cat and/or engine damage. I’m sure there were other obvious warning signs, this guy is probably not very car savvy.

So do people that eat themselves into oblivion, so do alcoholics, so do sky divers, so do scuba divers, so do mountain climbers, so do bicyclists...

Guarantee you they’re almost all stolen or black market, and now they just stoked the demand for some more stolen ones.

LOL “buying” another one... I guarantee that most of them are stolen or were bought black market. Now the hood rats will just go back out into the ‘burbs and steal some more for replacements.

My friend’s family had a loaded ‘87 ‘burban and it was pretty nice actually, power windows and door locks all around, that 80's corduroyish velour interior, A/C that literally frosted the vents, tinted windows, keys you could remove from the ignition while the engine was running (LOL).

I’m not 100% sure on the Mustang, but probably. The Roush kits for the Ford Raptor maintain the factory warranty.

A highschool friend of mine had a Spectrum Turbo, we all thought it was so cool, turbocharged cars being so rare and all back then. However, it was not fast, even by econobox standards.

Gotta pay to play; this is kinda like the folks who buy a Ford Raptor and then complain about the gas mileage.
