The previous owner claims that a cooling system flush was already done. The squeaky clean pink coolant seems to support that.

Maybe the timing belt change is 75% of the labor to get to the water pump?

Yes, that’s how it works for most people. Go to the dealership, test drive a model, then go see which particular cars of that model they have in stock. Then demand to pay less money because they don’t have the exact one you want.

GTA is fun... once you have the money and RP to be able to actually do anything. Rockstar really needs to go back and redo the new player experience, maybe even tweak the economy a little. It’s really telling when the best way to get into GTA is “Have a friend with a submarine do Cayo Perico with you until you get 2…

I’ve got a lot of hours on a Mk.4 Office Chair. You can kind of wheel it around.

Hi, Folks! Mod Motor Guy, the shop owner checking in again!

Dealership is in the wrong. Allow me to explain my shop’s insurance policy, and you will soon see....

1. General liability - this is EXACTLY as it sounds. If I am out driving your car for whatever reason, be it a test drive, a delivery, or anything general…

You’d be shocked at how common this is. Less common with piss-ant little SUVs, but quite common with performance cars. If you take your new Mustang to the dealer for service it’s an excellent idea to note the millage when you drop it off.  Take a picture of it so you have proof.

When the reply to the article is better than the article...

Okay, I realize you mean well, but this post is significantly unhelpful in terms of providing useful information. It’s also flat-out wrong in some respects. Did you even trade emails with any helmet standards guys before posting this? I’ll try to address things in an orderly fashion.

Maybe it’s their new electric 4 door crossover.

Anyone else having trouble imagining how the car reversed into the pool...when the wrecked fence is behind the car?

Reverse?  Are we sure?  Seems to be the location of the parking spots and the intact fence on the opposite side indicate something entirely different happened....

If there’s anything I’ve learned about Jezebel, and The Root for that matter, when you see the comments section calling out a skeptical/wrong/bad take story, they’re usually right.

And every one of them tell all their friends about how "I could take this to the track tomorrow and rip it up" but when they are asked "so when are you gonna take it?" It's always - "ahhh well I'd like to get down there eventually, we'll see what happens lololol" 

GTA Online would be right up my alley were it not for the “Online” part. I hate people at the best of times, I sure as hell don’t want them infecting my entertainment.

I looked this up and it’s a 2 minute job?

In the 90s, I bought a ‘57 Bel Air Wagon (not quite the Nomad, as it had four doors). It was a frankencar with a 454 in it, seats out of an 80's Cutlass, and enough bondo to completely fail the magnet test, but it looked pretty nice in a mint toothpaste green with lots of shiney chrome.

Driving home from purchasing…

It takes about 2 minutes to do a thorough walkaround/walkthrough of the exterior and interior of the car. If you have photos/videos it will make the rental company claim for damages that you didn’t do about 1,000 times easier to defend. You’ll spend a lot more than two minutes dealing with a damage claim that you…

I learned to drive in an ’80 Mustang. Four cylinder, automatic, two-tone blue and white with turbine-style hubcaps, no air. Things I remember:

Every time you rent or borrow a car the first thing you should do is pull out your phone and walk around and through the car videoing all sides, front, back, under the seats, trunk, glovebox, etc while vocally drawing attention to any existing damages or trash that you might get blamed for.
