To be fair, as belt lines get higher, rear visibility is going to suffer, and there's a blind spot behind the rear bumper that can easily obscure small children. Also, did you know you can get a ticket for driving with fog lights on? Happened to a friend of a friend a few days ago.

Engine sounded fine the entire time I've owned it, and the first sign of failure was last week when I noticed fresh oil spray on the underside of the hood (and all over the engine). Took it in, they looked at it for a while and sent me home with a loaner. Then I get a call: "You're getting a new engine!" Hooray?

I would leave snow in my spot to make it less attractive for people to park in. It worked well with my Subaru and people with trucks couldn't fit.

stump posted:Is ringing a thing in the US? Buying a wrecked car to transfer the clean identity to the a stolen one? Yes, but keep in mind that a car with a salvage title has to be inspected before it's allowed back on the road, with receipts and such to show that everything wrong with the car was repaired with legal parts. I don't know about other states, but in MA the inspections are done with the state police, and they'll make the whole process a bitch and a half if they feel like it.

Fucknag posted:Also the fact that that's the max pressure the tire is rated to withstand. And when it heats up from driving the pressure rises, sooooo.... No, it's the maximum cold tire pressure. It still designed to withstand pressure increases due to heat and pressure spikes from hitting small potholes.

More difficult to manufacture AND a worse design than just having a solid flange. Well done VW
