Had a ‘12 Focus, now on a ‘15 C-Max, never had the slightest problem with them, and always found the dealership to be helpful and honest. *knocks on wood*

Well. Let’s say I haven’t witnessed the insertion part, but unfortunately had to perform the extraction part a couple of times. And then deal with the aftermath of an extreme methanol poisoning.

Yes. One of the great curses of my work is that I do unfortunately see things with my eyes I wish I didn’t have to register in my brain.

Between the toes is to hide the track marks.

Dude, I’ve seen people soak tampons in methanol and then shove them up their rectums or vaginas. So yeah, not surprised here.

I believe we could have had electric cars much earlier, but with the EV-1 the big oil companies panicked and bought everything related to electric cars and torched it. They didn’t plan the 2008 crisis and that they’d lose control of the Big 3 car manufacturers. That and Elon Musk. Say what you want about the man, he…

The only plane crash in history with no debris? I think the same happened to it than MH417, it was shot down somewhere, and in UA93's case, they staged an explosion and “debris” where it was convenient to do so. The entire airspace was closed, they could have shot it down a hundred miles from there for all we know.

My GF is the same age, and buys/has bought almost all her underwear there. They’re great, and from a guy’s point of view, they make a lot of sexy stuff too.

Funny enough, I had a 2012 Focus Titanium manual for 3 years and a half, 45k miles, and I never had the slightest hiccup with it. The only repair I ever had to get done on it is a 35-minute rear window switch that was sticking, and the two front shock absorbers that began to knock (thank you, Canadian shit roads),…

I’ll put this reply I posted earlier here again, just so you don’t have to look for it:

They’re more attention-getting than distracting. You actually want the person to notice the braking. I’ve always liked the one we have on our emergency vehicles - it gives 2 quick flashes before going solid red, very noticeable.

I know what epilepsy is, I’m a paramedic. What you’re talking about is photosensitive epilepsy. It affects ~2% of patients with seizures, and especially children - in most affected patients, it disappears between puberty and 25. I’m just saying, epileptic seizure induction from an emergency vehicle, even in those…

That’s stupid. Yes, strobe light can induce seizures, but we’re talking about being in a dark room with a strobe light inches from your face. Which is why video games have warnings.

Toronto isn’t east of itself. The city has a large proportion of transplants, immigrants and generally people that aren’t used to large quantities of snow.

Driving in snow isn’t hard. Stopping and turning are.

Meh, seriously, even “real” utility vehicles would suck in these conditions because everyone south of Albany is on 4 season tires all year long. 4x4 trucks, Range Rovers, Jeeps, it doesn’t matter if the couple of inches of contact you have with the snow is the equivalent of four pieces of smooth ABS plastic.

Same in Canada, especially everything east of Toronto.

Forgot the obligatory “tabarnak” while face palming.

Yeah. Canada doesn’t have the same turn signal laws as the US, but carmakers don’t bother. Too bad.

Even though now Ford has their good products on the domestic market, Europe still has most of the nice things. Like those sweet tail lights.
