Making the tech rush the job doesn’t seem like the best way to keep an already pissed-off customer happy. In your opinion which brands are the best and worst for warranty work?

None that need to support 1000 pounds while hitting potholes at 50 mph.

Do manufacturers allow dealers to do this? I would have thought they strictly regulate job times for exactly this reason.

Just about every large corporation in the USA is incorporated in Delaware. Mine is and we don’t have any operations there. I guess we also have an army of lawyers and accountants to keep everything in line though.

Do you really think the $65/year you pay in inspection and registration fees to the state is what funds the highway system? TxDOT spends $6 billion a year, registration fee revenue doesn’t come close to covering that amount.

I did so well that within a year I was promoted to a supervisory position overseeing one of the engineering disciplines of a multi-billion dollar project. I’ve…

That little purple smudge in the middle of that area is Leesburg Executive Airport. I’d imagine they put this carve-out so that aircraft can approach this airport without entering the restricted zone.

That used to be true with the V8 cars but with the new engine package teams are building the cars right up to the weight minimum with little ballast.

She’s one of the best women drivers on the planet and has been competitive in multiple top-tier racing series. She’s certainly not one of the best drivers but it’s asinine to say she isn’t good.

F1 drivers know the score, they’re professionals. Weight has been a big issue for many drivers in their careers. Nico Hulkenberg was considered by many as a top driving talent but his weight held him back from signing with a top team. He only weighed 163 pounds.
