OK. Maybe the tech was being a jerk or uncooperative, and I can certainly understand not wanting to drive around with defective airbags. However, the guy probably had a list of cars which he had to follow, and your car was not on that list, so it wasn’t subject to replacement. The guy isn’t testing the inflators…

The MAX is destined to be grounded worldwide and Boeing’s headstrong behavior makes them look even more ham-handed than they did in the middle of the 787 battery kerfuffle— with video beamed worldwide of battery goo and smoking dripping out of the bellies of new 787s.

I agree and in a case like this, there isn't really any good way to handle the situation. This station is major station and I'm not sure what shutting it down would have accomplished

Exactly. What are they supposed to do? Fireman carry the corpse out of there right away? Close the station and subway line until the proper authorities arrive? They cordoned off the area and hid the carcass as best they could until the cadaver movers could take care of the situation. It seems that snowflakes are…

That’s a man who has his priorities in proper alignment.

This article just goes to show why buying a new Subaru is pointless, when used Subarus exist.

STI power levels were impressive in 2004, they are laughable in 2019 when a Camry makes more. I know, the driving experience blah blah blah, but these cars were hilariously outdated 5 years ago.

As you stated the new car is a “nicer” car. My question is though, WHY? Why does every car have to get nicer? Why cant companies just continue to offer a car for what it is? Why do they keep trying to have a car grow with the audience it is currently hot with? All that does is necessitate a NEW base model to come in…

Some of us complaining *did* buy them brand new. I pre-ordered the RS and am quite happy with it. I was pulling for Ford and telling everyone how cool the Fiesta/Focus ST & RS are. Alas, no more - Ford can eat a dick. I was looking forward to possibly getting RS MK IV with all the right improvements (insert head…

Pretty sure they cancelled that one for us.

“Oh but it’s okay guys, because we offer the new EcoSport in America instead!”

10 out of 10 Middle East warlord henchmen confirm a Toyota truck with original factory filled crankcase lasts 300,000 miles.

Well, seeing is how the right thing is to use both lanes up to the merge, then do a proper zipper merge, blocking people to try to force them to merge 2 to 3 miles in advance is improper lane use at best and obstructing traffic at worst. This is the position of the Michigan State Police, who hold jurisdiction over the…

Purging the younglings

I had this happen to me last week. Coming up on a construction zone and the left lane was ending. The line of cars was zippering, so I slowed to let the car to my left merge in front of me - as that was the way the zipper was going - and the asshole who was riding that cars rear bumper crowbarred his way between the…

I would like to take this opportunity to share with the community that it is actually most effective and efficient to merge at the end of the merge lane. Where road striping and signage force the lane into traffic.

I’ve never understood why folks read blog articles expecting them to sound as if they were written by Norman Mailer. Not only that, but you can know the difference between a possessive and a contraction and still make a mistake, typos happen. I'm sure you're a perfect human being that never makes literary errors,…

I’m 43 and was there front and center. I was just glad Epic turned off weapons for that whole bit. Good times.

Based on the number of times he’s commented that its a crimp issue I’m going to bet that at one point in some car there was an electrical issue and it ended up being a bad crimp. Logically from there was born the misinformed belief that all electrical issues are solved simply by checking the connections. Unfortunately…
