Yeah, not how it works here. We had an Austrian tech here for awhile who couldn’t believe we have to buy our own tools. We get the $40 a week for life plan with Snap-On or one of the other major tool companies. I’ve got over $60k into my tools over 20 years, and moving a toolbox that weighs as much as a car is a pain…

Those birds never expected the Spanish Indyquisition.

Can we talk about car loans for a bit?

Working on cars for a living has shown me that unless your General Motors product has a LS/LT V8 and rear wheel drive your car was not built well at all and exists solely to make money for the Corvette/Camaro/Silverado lines

Well researched. Well written. If your out of the job next week you should send this to Algaezeera. They’d love it.

I can’t wait, Chevy. Foiled again.

In order to make the dealers happy, VW needs to be doing something to try to retain all the TDI customers that will soon be jumping ship. They need to start with 0% financing for any TDI owner, on top of some major discounts. This is the only thing that get my wife and I to stay with VW. And customers are the only…

I’d like to posit the theory that the safest vehicles are brown, diesel, manual, volvo wagons from the 80s. If everyone drove such a vehicle, the risk of a high speed collision is effectively zero.

As an OCD Engineer who owns a TDI I can confirm this statement. I even park over a cardboard sheet so I can see oil leaks early.

Who the fuck drops a load of landscaping blocks into their truck bed from 5 feet above the bed in the real world? This is how you break all the landscaping blocks you just bought and thus have to go buy them again.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a kid lusting after a Chrysler Le Baron...

Are they planning on driving the empties to Michigan to collect a dime instead of a nickel?

Alternatively, you could buy any other car, and just drive it...

Same here! With only 80K on my MK6, it’s a ticking time bomb with HPFP issues, intercooler icing and whatever else.

Love it.

I’m still giving mine back.

Unless they make me a (warranty) offer I can’t refuse.

It’s a real shame when people be throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that.

And just think, once Amazon gets it drone delivery system up and running in earnest, you can literally shoot down free shit from the air.

Unpopular opinion:

I didn’t want to affect resale value so I can only drive it 200 yards before it overheats now (which isn’t a big deal because driving it without power steering sucks). Oh, and the windows are all stuck deep inside the doors. But it’s NUMBERS MATCHING.
