Guy brings in a Diesel Audi that he put Gasoline in and doesn’t tell the tech (Maybe he didn’t realize he did that?). When the tech pumps out a fuel sample into a glass jar he drops it on a hot terminal and it catches on fire. The dealership doesn’t sound like it is taking any responsibility for the fire, even…
Man, I miss this show. I think this is about the only show whose untimely cancellation actually makes me sad. And yeah, the music was consistently great and has been well worth listening to out of context.
It looks like an ugly Camry. And the Camry is already ass ugly.
Did Covid-19 cause a shutdown before the Engineers could start on the interior? C’mon Toyota!

The dealership model is absolutely insane and serves the interests of no-one but a bunch of predatory middle-men. Car shopping absolutely sucks, and…
Hey now, that’s pretty unfair! KTM have upped the reliability factor by adding an engine from...
That is another great point. The sales I would love to blame on the transmission, but honestly it’s the price for a less-useful M2. It’s less powerful, has less seats, and if you are at all technically inclined to pop the hood and look around you’ll notice all the BMW crap and not feel good about it on a Toyota,…
I wonder If that low number is due to Dealer RAPE...sorry I meant Mark up..
It’s still all BMW including the 4 cylinder.
