any Grand Cherokee owner will tell you that its two achilles heels are its automatic transmission and its electrical system, both of which fail with regularity Read more

Believe it or not, it's the principal component of cancerous tumors, too.  Absolutely insidious

Wait, did you go BACK to the same dealership in 2020?? I would've sworn off a place like that permanently after the first time they mistreated you..

I think people sometimes forget that video game companies aren’t just warm, friendly places for making cool, fun games... rather they are places to make fucking money and who gives a rats ass about the consumer. They employ the same type of ruthless IP/litigation attorneys as, say, tobacco or oil companies. There are… Read more

ummm yeah. If you sift thru the incredibly slick, overly-hyped Airspeeder website, they actually have some specs for the MkIV, which is supposed to be 880 lbs. with a flight time of 5-20 min. No way that thing has a 96 kWh battery.

Google banned Federated content? No way, I still see it right here on YouTube

FFS that Lada wins this time around.  That’s frickin great.

Bruh. Don’t go Breaking My Heart saying stupid crap like that. I know you Want It That Way with your adulation of Grand Poobah Musk, but you've gotta Quit Playing Games.  You're so much More Than That.

What continues to puzzle me is how Tesla stans’ knee-jerk reaction to anything remotely critical of the company or Pope Musk is OMG, LOOK AT TSLA, YOU FOOL, OBVIOUSLY TESLA IS BETTER BECAUSE MARKET CAP! Read more

I’ve had to replace Jeep Cherokee serpentine belts in five minutes on the side of a busy highway. Read more

Nah, it’s better spent on some more F35s Read more

Seeing as now that it’s public knowledge this railroad is pirating software, can Adobe go after them for something they no longer have anything to do with? Read more

Maybe some Ice Pirates, thrown in for good measure?  

Arguably comparable- at least, as looks go- to the Renegade

trying to decide whether i prefer this or season 9 of dallas. Read more

I had to get out and push my ‘97 ZJ out of the way of an oncoming train when the electrical shorted out and I stalled out straddling train tracks. This was after months of the same behavior and my mechanic just couldn’t figure it out. Read more

I re-read what you wrote... um, yeah, you were comparing the two cars. Read more

Can verify, I owned a 2002 and had two of these go out.  At a dealer, a window regulator job is like $500. At a indy garage, more like $300. But it’s an easy at-home job for like $50-100 if you’re even the slightest bit handy.

Its not the engine specifically, its the tuning of that particular 2GR and the transmission. That almost-same motor in a Highlander and/or a Sienna mated to their AT is pretty damn great.  It’s just a poor/cost-cutting choice on Toyota’s part to think that the 3.5 can be a jack-of-all-trades.

Neither here nor there, but I have yet to have a wholly satisfactory experience using Lyft or Uber. Neither has ever been cheaper than a cab for me, and the number of times my rides have been cancelled by Uber’s shitty app has compelled me to just walk over the the readily available taxis when I’m at LAX.
