That was spark plugs, not starters. But starters were $35 new back then, not $200+, and we still attempted to save money by having them rebuilt. Spoiler alert, starters are not rebuilt. You can only replace brushes, bushings, and solenoids. The windings and commutators are reused, which usually fail. I gave up on…

No, it will only throw a DTC code and activate the MIL light. Even if you, the vehicle owner, replaced the starter and failed to reset the counter, it will still throw a light for the starter at 384k cycles. Manufacturers have been making it harder and harder for the customers to fix their own products, by coding…

I think it’s stupid that the car is programmed to fail, especially for a non- emission/ performance part. Things like coils and oxygen sensors have reduced function with age/use, and should be replaced at certain intervals. Starters, which seldomly, if ever last 384k cycles, should be replaced when they fail or when…

He got confused and thought it could fly. Instead, he had a chitty day. 

It’s a good choice, but my favorite Mopar engine is the 340. Many a time has it been dismissed, and little has it been beat. It's an engine that keeps giving thru the whole RPM range. But, I do have to admit that I'm impressed with the monster bore size of the 440, bigger than the 500ci Cadillac V8.

Having driven an XR, I would pay $5k for a solid car in need of cosmetic care. The engine is solid and turbos are cheap, even a slightly larger turbo and higher flow injectors. There's no reason you couldn't get 250hp, considering Ford is getting over 300 from the newest 2.3L turbo mustang. Underneath, this 80's car…

Lol. You think Biden has anything to do with processing of oil? You probably blame him for everything going wrong in your life

Yeah, it's akin to a five minute time out to a millennial! It's fines like these that allow them to continue behaving this way. They contained making cars with faulty ignition switches, that lead to people dying, for over a decade after discovering the issue! These big companies only care about the bottom line, not…

What’s great for me is that I no nobody with the same first 6 as me, so I never pick up on any of them. In fact, I’ve blocked so many of them, that I’ve probably blocked the other 9,998 numbers by now!

Elon It’s only relevant to the automotive world for making BEV’s competitive in an ICE world. BEV’s existed 100 before, but running on early batteries made them slow and left with short ranges between charging. Now, nearly every manufacturer, and some new ones, are making electric vehicles, some better in respect to…

And not to forget Christa McAuliffe, as she never made it into space. She was given her astronaut wings for breaking the 50 mile mark before the shuttle was destroyed.

I’m kind of excited about this vehicle, but the name leaves a bad taste in my mouth. VW made a front wheel drive pickup (being generous) from 1980-1984, which wasn't very popular at the time. It's become a bit of an icon in recent years, as it's convenient for small jobs and fuel efficient. My biggest questions come…

You mean BMW? Lol!

I don't miss having to air the spare to clean the windshield. I don't know how many times I went to clean the screen and the tire was flat! I converted one to an electric pump out of frustration.

Lol! Been there!

I’m sure there's a jump point under the hood, like nearly all cars have these days. I'm expecting that the hybrid system actually cranks the engine, like most hybrids, so you can use the start/stop system to avoid wasted gas idling. 

Yes, completely. Hitler did idolize Henry Ford, after all. And Ford also was an anti-Semite, so they're like one in the same!

You can fold the rear seat backs down, to create a flat-ish space. They designed this small pickup with a fully customizable bed, so you can fully enclose and lock securely. 

My guess it’s vented like any other battery that’s inside the passenger/trunk compartment, with a vent tube to the exterior. Not a big issue to overcome. My in-laws Acadia has its battery under the rear passenger floor. 

More than likely, he was a DP/EP, and had a stake in the show, which is why he received a healthy severance. This would not be unheard of, in the entertainment industry. Changes are happening, oh so slowly, but nevertheless. It's still a male dominant, and an old white male at that, that believes they are God like and…
