Yeah, a smarter nerd would make a hook on a wire that shoots through the window and pulls the occupant out of the car.

Only works in the city where the hook can attach to a building.

No. 20 bangers are Gods own chosen magazine and that is what we use here.

Also yes, I'm aware of the 7.62x39 ARs, it was more a joke about how everything about that cake is horrible garbage so lets nitpick an unimportant detail.

Though the one thing the caddy did better was that it was a hearse. They're both still excellent barges.




Those are some dope rear end 80s sleds and don't deserve to be posted in this thread!

My caddy on the other hand...



You're probably asking just how ratty is grannys' caddy, exactly? To which I would respond, 'That nest goes down a lot further than you think and wait till you see what's beneath the air cleaner.' New thread will be posted on Monday for ya'll to gawk at in disgust and amusement.

They have their place. Some up until recently had reliability issues but I think for the most part they're somewhat better.

We've got one in our 2011 Legacy 2.5 no-frills appliance-mobile and have had no problems with it but it's the last thing from a "fun" car to drive.

My fiancée just had her's poo poo out on her '17 Rogue. Before she brought it to the dealer, she was expecting to have to pay for a brand new one but I told her about how Nissan is getting sued over them right now and she should bring that up to the service writer. Well the service writer basically bent over backwards and called Nissan corporate and they replaced the trans for free and did all sorts of other maintenance she had missed, on the house too.

I'm honestly not minding the CVT in my Subaru. Granted I'm not trying to do motorsports with my dadwagon, but it feels fine day to day. We'll see how it is on the longevity front.

Is everyone forgetting that GM killed several boomers who didn't know about themanual door releases under the seats?

The model Y's rear door release being hidden in the door is egregious but GM was doing this poo poo years before Tesla.

CVTs are boring as poo poo, but these days they get better fuel efficiency than a manual. If you have the kind of daily driving that isn't going to be fun no matter what you're in, they make a lot of sense, if they're reliable ish.
