See, that’s probably because you are a reasonable person without a ridiculous entitlement and/or victim complex.

No doubt.  Stress has a lot of wild effects on the body.  Saying one instance of stress on one specific day led to cancer is not realistic.

cancer has an unpredictable course and treatment itself only offers odds, not guarantees

My Car? I said, a rare German car, not a Passat.

That stuff looked great when it was new. Not so much after a few years of exposure to heat cycling and fingers. Also the lights behind the HVAC controls went out but always came back on with a firm RAP on the side of the console. Then the headliner started to sag and the window regulators got sketchy.  Then the coil…

We had a 1.8T of this same year. Around 2012, the interior was a beginning to disintegrate and the oil cooler went bad and held my wife hostage on the side of the highway. With all the weird issues we had with our 1.8T, I cannot imagine what its like maintaining that obscure W8 with double the age on it.

Maybe yours has the benefit of 2 more years of improvements. They’ve had several transmission “calibration” issues (I guess that’s the best word), stop-start system that works intermittently, 2 bad knock sensors, failed infotainment hard drive, I want to say a bad strut or shock, and a few other small things I can’t…

Parenthood  Motherhood is increasingly becoming mandated by various state governments as a form of twisted punishment. What makes you think the same governments would pay for parenting classes?

Based on the wheels in the photo, that’s a 2005 BMW 325i which has 184hp and has a 0-60 time between 7-8 seconds. Compared to a base Honda Accord from the same year, the base BMW isn’t significantly faster or more powerful.

My parents’ 2017 MDX was bought brand new and has been the least reliable Honda product they’ve ever owned (they’ve bought 8 different Honda/Acura models over 35 years). It may last a while, but it definitely has needed some weird repairs.

“Uber is too complicated” is the weakest excuse they could have given in that situation.

The ride height and blocky proportions of full size BOF SUVs make them look big. The interiors aren’t always sized to match.

Last year, Ford spent $4.8 billion fixing customers’ cars.

Butt plug, in hybrid AWD

HONDA ELEMENT. Supposedly a couple recent Honda patents suggest they may be working on a new Element.

Sir, we’ve been trying to reach out to you about your boat’s extended warranty!

I am supposed to fly out of Delta’s biggest hub on Friday AM, then back on Sunday. Crossing my fingers for no issues...!

They took it on trade in terrible shape and didn’t make a single attempt to fix or clean anything. Weird publicity stunt or incompetent dealership? Either one seems plausible to me.

Despite having a traditional console shifter, the 2008-2014 Mercedes C-class (and probably other Mercedes of that era) has zero stalks on the right side. I believe its because of the position of the key - it is inserted straight into the dash, not the side of the steering column. The double stalks on the left and zero…

Imagine developing bespoke tires designed to work with matching wheel covers.  Then after 4+ years of development, the covers still dig into the tires!  What an embarrassment this car is.
