Pihole with “(^|\.)content\.jwplatform\.com$ and (^|\.)jwplayer\.com$” in the blacklist takes care of all of those shit videos.  Pihole in general takes care of nearly all of the advertising.

This is what GM should have done with the 2.4 EchoTech in the 2011 to 2017 Equinox and GMC whatchamacallit. The PCV valve clogs and causes high oil consumption and engine failure, mainly in cold climates, like Detroit, or Canadian cities. They just lost lawsuit over it, but still have not initiated a recall on them.

Nah...a German car would cost you 4X that amount to fix!

The _cause_ can be solved with a software update, not a failed eMMC drive...that requires hardware exchange.

Pew defines middle class as those who earn between 67 and 200 percent of the median income, and for Americans, overall, that was between $39,560 to $118,080 in 2016. That is an insane range, but it depends on where you live. I guess the lower middle class would be rich in Appalachia?

Bless her heart for driving that much around Phoenix!  She must be a saint!

I work in an industry that USED to provide company cars...that is a long gone practice for about 99% of companies now-a-days.

The last time I bought a new car was in 2000.  My practice is to generally buy a 1-2 year old car, that way I am not eating the “off the lot” depreciation...and it gives time to see if new designs, new models, etc., are lemons or worth a look.  I would be curious to see used car/vehicle sales numbers to see if there…

I don’t understand why anyone would want to occupy Iran.  While it might make sense (to someone who ignores history) to occupy it for Oil, or <insert something worth money here>, it would make more sense to do a leaflet drop and tell everyone you are going to nuke it in 48 hours, to leave if they wanted to live, and…

Ah, so kind of like a really fast Ford Pinto?

Not sure about just going fast, but I can confirm, if you drive on sidewalks and curbs, you get kicked off.  :o)

Is that a meat dress, or a...meat curtain?

Not even gonna try!  Those boxy bastards are lovely!

My wife drives an Evoque, and this all looks eerily familiar. Not that the Evoque is equal to this in off-road capacity, but the parts are nearly identical.

The EV is the new Android Tablet.  Everyone is making one, and they are of widely varying quality...wait to buy one, or you will be stuck with the laggy one that doesn’t ever get an update, then the company goes out of business.

And, continue paying enough in insurance and taxes to pay rent on a $1500 a month apartment.

Nice Doggo there!

You can pick up an “Auto X-Ray EZ Scan 6000" on eBay pretty reasonable. They do live data acquisition, as well as diagnostics.  They also do ODBII.

+1, same thing came to my mind.  Either a bad wheel bearing, or bad ABS sensor...or both if they are a single unit.

My 2014 Volkswagen Jetta S (yep, 115 HP new...reportedly!) has a speedo that goes to 160. Most ridiculous thing on EARTH!  IF that car could hit 110, it would rattle apart.
