Sorry, bad advice is always free.

I’m not sure what he’s complaining about here.

It’s not turbo lag, that doesn’t even really exist anymore. Ford programs its truck transmissions very, very far in the direction of fuel economy, which makes them very excited about shifting up, and very reluctant to shift down. You can correct this simply by putting the transmission in sport, pushing the tow button,…

Mazda 3 hatchback (also available in sedan but go for the hatch please)

WRX hatch would be the answer here, but Subaru forgot how to make those.

This. Let me keep my reliable 3rd gen 4Runner on the road forever. 

It looks like there’s a front differential, so either the system failed or he’s too poor to do the lift all the way and there’s a Bluetooth driveshaft in play.

Thank you for your sacrifice.

Hear hear. Taunting the Feds. What a terrible idea. As a former prosecutor, I used to say to defense attorneys all of the time- “don’t make me care about this case”. There are so many reasons not to give a shit about a case and to do the least amount of work as possible- but when you do give a shit (e.g. the facts are…

“reporting”, LOL!

Can you argue with a good Harbor Freight coupon? No, no you cannot. 

I’d like to see his stance on that when someone gets a $30,000 (or any amount really) restoration done and pays him with a dump truck full of pennies. You know it’s going to happen now.

To clarify, Lawrence Hodge just recapped a story from another site, messed up the basis of the story (the fed’s aren’t suing Walker over the pennies), and this was a story that first cropped up in March 2021 (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/25/business/auto-shop-pennies.html).

I don’t know what libel law looks like in the US, but that blog post on the company website looks to be more than enough to warrant suing for libel.

Based on the article, it doesn’t look like he’s being sued directly for the incident. He’s being sued for failure to pay overtime to employees, going back three years. But they identify the incident as the reason why they chose to investigate him, and go into detail about that incident in the suit - so apparently it…

“#7 Pennies are cash! They are federally backed United States currency and are good for all debts public or private. EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THIS! If you need proof just ask Coin-star. Remember they bought them for profit!”

So of he treats his employs this bad. just think of how bad he would treat you car...

Just need to know the guys in the Black Hats.

Same, except I used four ratchet straps, which has the advantage of being slightly less expensive, and has every other disadvantage you can think of, and several you might not guess.

this is what I’m looking forward to. The number of times I’ve been stuck in a jam and find that nothing is wrong annoys me. I’m all for autonomous vehicles if they solve that issue.
