Mitsubishi needs a lot more than an “awareness” campaign if the only thing I’m aware of now is that I rarely see a Mitsubishi that’s survived a decade on the road. A Mitsubishi from the 1990s is a rarer road find than a Model T.

Well what throws all that off is the cape. I’m from California, I live in Florida and have driven nationwide several times and Cape Cod drivers are the most courteous people I’ve ever driven around.

Incidentally, now that I think about this more, the very first crack on your windshield effectively ruins the windshield, so unless you expect your wipers to have about a 1.000 save percentage it’s no use. The couple times they’ve predicted hail here I’ve either parked under something solid or covered my car in…

Well yeah if a guy could get 1,000 dents out of my car I could see giving him the car as a gesture of gratitude too.

Maybe if your windshield wipers are descended from Patrick Roy, but that’s not very likely.

Autopilot. You know, that thing we all know about.

2. The Trailblazer is an extremely forgettable vehicle, BUT the extended version? One of the worst proportioned cars I’ve ever seen in the history of auto design.

That’s pretty brilliant stuff right there. Makes me understand why so many trees in neighborhoods with fancy manicured yards come down during hurricanes.

That’s some top level theoretical bullshitting right there.

Yeah that’s why I gave advice about so many situations. See, I was helping people out (that’s a thing some people do) instead of nitpicking a post on the internet.

Put a blanket over the top of that snatch rope and this is much less likely to happen. It saps the energy from the snapped cable/rope/tree branch, etc.

So it’s basically a useless study because the actually reliable cars are outside their parameters.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. Those Expeditions might still be on the road because everybody who bought one did it with Kia Rondo money because they have 5 kids, their neighbors have an Expedition so they “had to buy one” and they’re so upside down on it that they have to keep it on the road out of necessity. That…

It says a lot that I now can’t tell if that’s real or fake.

Frankly I’d rather fly with the windows down, like how I drive. But they won’t let me

Yeah that’s definitely ultimate adventure van territory

Who the hell goes to the trouble of making a meme and knows the movie so badly that they put two lines from two totally different scenes together

To get technical with drag terms he’s “brake torquing” because it’s not a boosted car. “Brake boosting” is when you hold the brakes on a turbocharged automatic transmission car and hold the throttle down a certain amount before the tree drops to spool up the turbo(s) so that when the tree drops you have a lot of boost…

Never knew someone’s driven a full size van across a country before.

I love that that van was so eager to flip over that it actually left the ground it flipped so quickly.
