This is not my type at ALL.

But this thing for whatever chores you need to get done and put it up on Turo the rest of the time. It’d pay for itself in no time. Easy NP.

That truck is a serious money maker. Nice price all day long. 

Da fuck is a sideshow?

What a shame.

oh cmon. look like the truck needed to do a u-turn to leave the spectacle event. everybody was just going “bonkers” bc well he needed the entire space for the u-turn. 

To be fair, Hyundai has known about this part for a long time and has/had  chosen to leave it just like it is. Like losing virginity to a partner who casually mentions the day after that they tested positive for syphilis a week ago and maybe check with a doctor. Just spoils the mood. 

This sounds like a job for WD-40, the Water Displacement-40th try. Give it a spritz and enjoy the odor as the carrier flashes off.

It required “an integrated vehicle system that uses, at minimum, the GPS location of the vehicle compared with a database of posted speed limits”. Who maintains that database? Who ensures that cars continue to receive those data? How quickly do they require those data be updated for road work, etc? It was a…

Funny how things like that level of frustration can really trigger you. You’d think watching my dad take two weeks to die of a stroke - slowly losing himself piece by piece, day by day, in front of my very eyes until he withered away to a husk - would be my worst day. But somehow, it wasn’t.

While I clearly see that now, when I hit reply and checked the byline, I swear it had Rory’s name there initially

Yeah, that’s exactly my point. It’s been a while since that was routinely the case.

I completely understand. When I buy beaters, I do not care much about nicks, dings and fixes. When I buy a new car, if it takes any damage in a collision or demonstrates a failure point, it goes straight from the shop to autotrader. New cars are supposed to be perfect for a lot longer than a year and a half. Once…

There was a time long, long ago when manual cars had better MPGs than automatics.

Excellent write-up. Yes, a car breaking down at a crucial life moment, when you’re really depending on it, can sour a relationship. I’ve bought enough troublesome cars to know that.

This article reminds of of trying to find online recipes and reading someone’s life story before getting to the point.

That’s my thought, too. I’m not blaming owners like Peter, but Hyundai. At least they made good by him but nothing makes up for the frustration and time lost.

Is there no way to waterproof this one connector?

I appreciate that write-up, Rory, and have nothing to add other than...
