There isn’t much reliable about IWBs and ford’s 4x4 system. Nor their suspension durability. The engines, not so bad. The old 5.4 liked to spit spark plugs but the new 5.0 is a solid engine.

Without heading back to the dealer for multiple warranty claims or sitting on a flatbed? Or without interior trim falling off or mysterious electrical issues?

I have a really hard time believing the F-150 makes it on that list without having many repairs/issues before 200k miles.

Everything. But yeah control arms for sure.

I wouldn’t say it’s easy to light, but it’s basically a thin oil so give it heat and oxygen and it’ll go. Used to take care of cactus and other annoying vegetation that way back in the day. Spray it on, hold a bbq lighter on it until you see flame, then gtf out of there. A flare is hot enough to start it up.

Probably a flare gun or Roman candle.

Haha, burn! That had some sting to it.

But... isn’t the US judicial system overburdened? Doesn’t creating arrestable offences create an unnecessary tax burden?

Maybe, gotta watch out for those Macgyver freaks. They take it seriously.

Ontario would be my jurisdiction. Now, I’ve never actually not paid traffic offence ticket, but I have unpaid parking offences issued by the Toronto police. I’m sure there are differences, but I don’t remember reading anything on the back of the tickets about warrants for unpaid traffic violations.

I can’t imagine getting arrested for an unpaid fine. Here they just deny you the ability to register your vehicle when your sticker expires.

This shouldn’t be hidden in here under a comment. That’s just ridiculous.

That is pretty much all it is. There is a mixing valve/pump/apparatus in the pump itself that mixes 87 with 91. So if your 87 is 10% ethanol, and your 91 is <1%, then you end up with something close to 5% ethanol content.

BMW F30 requires minimum 89 octane. Thought that was funny when I saw it on the gas door, as yeah, you don’t see it often. Also funny considering BMW service has told me to strictly put premium fuel in with as low an ethanol content as possible, which would typically be Shell V Power.

I mean, is the damage really that worst than most drift cars routinely go through? Of course, frame damage does suck, but I doubt it’s the only drift car with frame damage.

Absolutely agreed. I thought the same thing, but then realized how spoiled for power we are these days, but also how much heavier certain vehicles have gotten over the years.

At what, you’re continual expertise in passive aggressive behaviour?

2010 and 2016! Don’t own any automatic vehicles!!

Has it ever been important to British automakers to fully seal their vehicles from the rain?
