From what I remember the older X5's had recalls about oil leaks. Betting the guy had a oil leak onto the screaming hot cat and that is what caused the problem.

Ahh management where they get paid a lot more than the guys that actually risk their lives..

Name one that has done that. give me ONE name of a firefighter that ended up rich after being a firefighter his entire life.

It depends, if by “those people” you mean the bankers and executives that caused the crash? I agree, they should die in the streets at the hands of the public.

The taxpayers of America bailed out the banks — wouldn’t it be fair now to demand the banks to pay back what they have cost Social Security? A tax on financial transactions and a tax on Wall Street bonuses, with revenues dedicated to Social Security, would pay back to Social Security and its contributors what has been…

Crack is one hell of a drug.

Interesting, yet my 1999 Grand cherokee had 260,000 miles on it and never had death wobble. Is this only due to the frontend design of the wrangler?

Note: see comment above:”Not the steaming pile of crap that was the A80"

Toyota = boring. and it is their own fault.

Yep, Honda CR-Z is a PERFECT example. All the “expert” mechanics try and tell me that I dont need to change my CVT transmission fluid, or change my CVT fluid filter. In fact I have yet to find a certified mechanic at a honda dealer that even understand CVT transmissions, that they need the fluid changed every 30K…

What a surprise, all the places where mining is an industry.

Ahh yes, the cheezy CGI and they even got the badly timed animatronic robot movements.

It seems that it only works well in warmer climates. I moved to florida from Michigan and I remember they tested RMA road surface up there and then stopped using it in favor or poured concrete. the poured concrete roads would look still new after 5 years while the RMA test sections would look just as bad as regular…

I blame lawmakers for passing gun laws based on Movies and not facts. we should be allowed to buy and use suppressors so that people’s hearing can be protected and people that live near ranges don’t have to listen to it.

That is called RMA or Rubber Modified Ashphalt and is in use. Arizona has been the leader in using rubberized asphalt, but California, Florida, Texas, and South Carolina are also using asphalt rubber. Tests are currently underway in other parts of the United States to determine the durability of rubberized asphalt in…

All of these ideas are horrible. The steel bars are Already done, and adding bacteria to fill gaps... First that is called efflorescence and utterly is a horrible thing to have happen to concrete it weakens it greatly. and what are all these bacteria going to live on? I have seen the effects of the efflorescence on…

“but lobbying to start a firearm education system in primary and secondary school.”

Let’s see how I did.... Bought a 2011 CRZ, paid under $7K at carmax. Used private sale same year and about the same mileage $2500 more. Compared to new.... HA! $25,590 versus under $7K... yeah no competition there. Took it to get looked at? actually did that afterwards because I bought the carmax warranty. …

Dont forget hearing protection. Even a 22LR has enough of an impulse to hurt ears. I have a permanent ringing from shooting a 22LR forever without hearing protection.

Yep, you have to train them and educate them. Because the world is not just your own home.
