When I bought my two Impreza wagons ('04 and '08) in New England, the dealer explained that they came with a 10 rust warrantee entirely because of horror stories like that! Did they not use salt on the roads in Japan at the time?!

Makes me wonder if the hiring process at Carmax is like the appraisal process? Do individuals from Human Resources perform candidate inspection, appraisal, and written offer in as little as 30 minutes? Are native born Canadians and Japanese also not welcome to work at Carmax?

You didn’t mention Andy was Chinese in the story. What an oversight.

That undercarriage of that Subaru rusted entirely through within 48 hours of that photoshoot.

Psht. Maybe in the summer when you wear light clothing.

Ford now offers a $75k mobile gun case.

Because International Harvester got out of the light truck business in 1980 AND THE US HAS BEEN A CRUMBLING PILE OF ITS FORMER GLORY EVER SINCE.

It is unlikely that the Secret Service will get involved, as hitting a piñata doesn’t exactly constitute a death threat.

Geez. If you want to attract people to your dealership using gimmicks, stick to the proven methods. Either get a whacky-waving-inflatable-arms-guy, or grill some weiners and call it a BBQ.

Very true - the few cars I’ve worked on that had rear drums NEVER needed new shoes. As far as that goes, I don’t think I’ve ever needed to replace pads on a rear disc brake unless there was a malfunction, even on my car that had 150k miles on it.....

The '55 on the other hand, I've always heard was used in TLBT and then American

I appreciate your logic, not wanting to die in a horrible catastrophic collision. However, being in a minor collision is much more probable, and in most of these cases the seat belt would prevent injury, poor structural integrity or not.

So are people who are overweight and don’t exercise (which, if you’re American, is statistically you) but we don’t write them tickets.

Absolutely. I hopped in my truck at the grocery store and drove walking speed maybe 30 yards over to the gas pumps, fully within the parking lot at all times.

Here’s a good one. I had my wife believing you were legally required to have fuzzy dice on your mirror to get an antique plate for about 24 hours. I broke out laughing when she was about to double check with her mom.

There are an ENORMOUS number of places in the world that are “Not Detroit” but still better to live.

still better than California.

Why in the world would you willingly live somewhere like that?

Someone bring out the fuel-air explosive bombs, please. There’s a lot of bugs needing to be burnt to the ground.
