Hyundai is particularly scummy because basic things like traffic-aware navigation and even remote start (which is BUILT INTO THE CAR but many models for some generations don’t have a button on the key-fob, requiring use of an app to access that feature) require to opt in to a $100-300/year bluelink subscription.

Except you’re doing the same thing every half-brained commenter is doing, and associating the problem with turbski things. This could have happened to any engine. It was just a bad process that resulted in contamination in the engine during assembly.

In a way, it’s kind of comforting to know that, while insufferable dipshit tiktok millionaires can ruin almost everything they survey, they won’t be able to ruin these beauties for us.

I like this color tbh. Even if very 70s, it still looks really nice. Too bad it went undriven for so long, especially as a furniture piece.

If these had been bog-simple carb’d V8s or I6s or I4a they still would have blown up from this. No engine lives long with crap plugging up the oil passages.

Good for them doing the right thing and swapping them out instead of some half assed fix to save money.

But why male models? 

This isn’t a TTV6 inherent issue though. The TTV6 Hybrid powertrains seem to be fine so far. This was just a bad process issue. Good on them for replacing all the engines, even ones with no failure shown yet, some of these have been in operation for almost 3 year now and even those people will get a free engine at no…

We gave them the option to opt out- except you lose features if you don’t opt in.  I think it is scummy to tie features to selling your data.  I don’t ever want to have an internet enabled car if that implies it is ok to sell my data.

Counterpoint: Influencers can’t drive stick haha

I agree that this should not undergo a full restoration. A deep cleaning of the interior and engine bay. But I would give in to my OCD and do a full re-spray of the entire car. Maybe a little PDR.

I hope it stays with true enthusiasts who will enjoy it, and never ends up with some dope like David Lee to film a tacky Youtube video with it, and then lock it away in his fancy, private car-prison.

Oldest Ferrari? Gonna be worth all the money to Ferrari’s wealthier cultists.

Can we talk for a minute about the absolutely bonkers hyperlinks in the first paragraph? 

This is why I deleted the fuse for the Data Collector Module the day I bought my Tacoma, and one of the reasons I love my motorcycle. I will not have a vehicle with a cellular connection. 

Sadly here in AZ we have lots of loons like all states do. Look at what CAs Central Valley sends to office

Fucking obligatory
