Blew a head gasket during rush hour on an LA freeway and found it cheaper to replace the motor than repair it.

I’m saddened by this crass attempt to wring another fifteen minutes of fame out their pathetic lives.

No it was the six.

GM just can’t get the long term reliability thing down. I did like the way I was treated by Saturn (went through four.) If they hadn’t clipped them in the bankruptcy I may have given them another chance. The timing chain put up a CEL and it would not pass emissions. If the repair was cheaper, I may have kept it…

My daughter loves her ION, but it does tend to break a lot. It had trim pieces blow off of it:(

I had rear brakes on ours fail at 20K (the pads just fell apart,) multiple batteries, a wheel bearing, power steering rack, timing chain, high pressure power steering hose, oil leaks, some front suspension bits, tires always losing air (TPS was always on,) driver’s power seat track collapsed, seat belt switch (Saturn…

normally I’m not a fan of jury duty, but I hope I get called on this one.

I’ll allow it.

Other girls we knew let their boyfriends open car doors, pay for things. They liked to feel safe. We, on the other hand, liked to fuck with men, and also with each other, heckling each other’s boyfriends and thwarting each other’s attempts at romance for kicks.

I’m ashamed that that made me laugh. He’s your star, now go think about what you did.

GM 2.8 V6 is an automatic crack pipe.

I agree, but as people age this seems to happen a lot more, and to people who were demonstrably not like that before. I don’t know that my folks, who were good people, could have weathered that scrutiny at the end. There are plenty of other opportunities to correct this behavior, while leaving the elderly alone.

Thanks for the context. It’s not to hard to find an 85 year old to make crazy statements like that. James Watson is another example of this. As my mom slipped into dementia, she too said some horrible, out of character things (not racist, but not her either.)

As stupid as Mitchel is, she should work for the Tribune. She’s not as stupid as Kass though.

The Buick is nicer, just not $12K nicer.

I had a Patriot as a company vehicle, the gas tank was too small and the MPG was not even close the the advertised numbers, however, when I got used to the CVT I liked it. All I did was put gas in it and change the oil. It was nicely equipped, did well in the snow and was quiet when you weren’t flogging it. Free…

I was thinking Legionella, with the same sort disclaimer. Something that could be attributed to the will of the almighty.

Perhaps he is afraid people will start to think that this it true of all athletic competition and choose different entertainment., slippery slope and whatnot. Don’t worry, football will still be a blast to watch.

Excellent observation. I will be using this in the future, claiming it was mine. This will make me look clever and affirm your observation at the same time.

very cool
