I’ve had Nissans my entire driving life, which is going on 15 years now and have never had any issues. They may not hold value as well as Toyota or Honda but it also means that there are deals to be had and I’m generally pretty happy with my most recent purchase which is a 2015 Altima but I have noticed a decrease in…

The VQ itself is pretty solid, yes. I’ve had three- 2000 Maxima, 2002 Maxima, and 2006 350Z. That was the last era of good Nissans.

So this inspections thing got me to thinking about when my SAE Club toured the Chrysler transmission plant in Kokomo in the 90's. The guide [a friend of mine] ran through their QC process and said (paraphrased) that as the transmissions are assembled, each station has a QC, and if your station sends something back or…

EXACTLY! This is why my wife’s Flex has the NA V6, not the Ecoboost. It is perfectly fine for her - and less to worry about long term.

Found On Road Dead is supposed to apply to the vehicle, not the occupants.

I just skimmed this, but I’m intrigued by the idea of putting Philadelphia inside a hole on the moon.

I have a friend who has a newer Harley (couldn’t tell you the model). He is the target demographic (white guy in his mid 50's). It actually has a lot of technology on it, about as much as I’ve seen in some newer cars.

I was on the bus home last week and there was a woman who was doing her best to calm her cranky toddler. The kid had finally just dozed off when a stereotypical fat, shave-headed old asshole on a harley revved his engine to ear splitting levels right next to us at a stoplight, causing everybody to nearly jump out our…

I don’t understand how this was able to happen. I used to be in fabrication. I would personally do hardness tests on the material. We know that the supplier screws up, or tries to fuck you by passing along out of spec stock as good, and we also know our purchaser screws up, trying to save a buck usually, or buying the…

I can’t stop saying Bro, Bro.

Eh.. Harley factory stock pipes aren’t bad. I’d rather hear those than stock sport bike four cylinder engines.

I wish the bad drivers would take the bus, but they don’t, and I want self driving cars for those idiots. Because of shitty drivers i’m now fixing my truck. I had just finished fixing it. Fuck.

fully-automated cars—which most automakers hope to see happen by early next decade—will be confined to ride-hailing purposes in small urban cores

I’d say it was picked up because the guy was unhinged. The NRA cap was just a bonus.

Stop politicizing crazy old men in NRA hats!

But we Jalops know the #1 rule about cars. And that’s don’t mess with a person’s car. That rule implicitly exists because one has to rely on the law and order of society as, during normal daily use, your sweet baby can’t remain in your watchful gaze or out of the path of vagrants and ne’er do wells.

As opposed to those car ads with red arrows that say Bad Deal? lol

But there’s a green arrow right there telling you it’s a good deal. Has a green arrow ever led you astray before?
