Naw, dude. Dick is short for Dichard.

I’m in the same boat. I love cars, built a career around them, and they’re my hobby. but, I’ll always spend my money on experiences over materials. I make it rain when I travel.

Nicely done.

Your “or your dick or whatever” comment had me rolling. So thank you for that.

I am quickly becoming convinced that autopilot technology is the worst new automotive feature to be introduced this century. It doesn’t work perfectly, and it’s ideal for people to stop paying attention to the road.

I got an IROC.

Neutral: Did you buy a car in February? What did you get?

Also, is it possible for Jalopnik to secede from the other gawker bullshit. Right now there is a suggested link to Jezebel - What is “birth rape”?

I have a 300 with the shifter that killed Anton Yelchin. Despite my best intentions, it goes into an unintended position about every 5 trips. It requires way more attention that a standard automatic lever. All this shifter needs is the ability to travel forward and backwards, and stay there. It’s the return to center…

Those conditions may be related. If oil level gets too low it will cause the cam actuators on the timing chains to collapse and will result ins a CEL and can induce stalling. We’ve done well over 100 piston/timing chain replacement all under warranty. I’ve never had one comeback with continued comsumption afterward.

As a GM guy I will defend the product when I think the opinion is wrong. My opinion is based off of years of experience with theses vehicle. But at the same time I will not make an invalid argument. I’ve told many of my loyal customers which GM products to stay away from over the years (I’m looking at you Traverse).

You had me at “Brake lines” my mind had blocked out all the brake line replacements over the years.

1st year of new car generation is a little sketchy but I got a ‘14 model when they came out with the same 6spd, fearing it will not be an option for 10th gen.

I had my 2011 Nissan Sentra at 130k when I sold it. CVT whined at 60k. After that I regularly changed the CVT fluid every 30k and it since then no issues. Now got the Mazda6 6MT.

There’s a cure for those.
