every alphabet combination you could ever think of bub.... canines cross the street and random non enforceable laws are invented when i show up

What was your old INGO name?

 

[bobzilla]

Not if they're reading glasses.

At Kelly’s advanced age if it’s not the glasses it’s the glaucoma. I’m safe. Never be able to point me out in a lineup

Everyone knows you not fix parts on a Kia engine, just replace the whole car.

Don’t need to. It’s not a ford.

Don’t need to. It’s not a ford.

My ford is still running and my co-worker's Kia is needing an engine. Can not find a good one in a junkyard because the dealers bought them all to replace all the junk engines.

I feel their pain. We used to have a Chrysler minivan. It developed fuel system issues. Specifically the plastic in the connector barbs on the tank became brittle and failed. To the point you couldnt find a used gas tank in ANY junkyards. And a new tank including the connector disc assembly cost like $1,000. And or course they didnt sell the $25 part that actually had a problem by itself, even though it was a part that could be removed from the $1,000 tank.

For a year and a half we limped with the help of an excellent mechanic who made it work, but it had a side effect. It would literally take us 10 minutes to fill the tank because it couldnt vent fast enough during the fill. If we locked the lever, we couldnt go past the first notch. And on some pumps, even that was too fast. I dont miss those days.

They had a 5 year engine warranty you could buy.

I just got here too. Nice Fiesta.

Hey nice Subaru.

Is that a Prius?

that's just intentionally hurtful.

 

[Mgderf]

Is that a Prius?

Or a Wankel wannabe?

 

[bobzilla]

Ok it does burn enough oil to be confused for a wankel….. something about sitting for 18 months and then being thrown on track is apparently not what it was wanting.

Good to see him working on his fine motor skills ... another year or so, and you'll need to blur out that right hand.

Mgderf is a right thinking American though.

We've put around 800k miles on hyundai/kia engines over the last 22 years and the only one I had to replace I bought with a snapped timing belt with 212k miles.

I think Hyundai and Kia both are way underestimated. Right now I wouldn't want a kia, but give them another year to fix the "steal me and rob a gun shop" signs, and I believe they'll be back up to snuff.

Those only applied to the lower level cars with a key. Anything with a pushbutton start isn't affected the same way. In all fairness, who would have thought people would steal a ****ing Korean car?

Anyone remember how easy it was to steal the 73-87 chevy truck and vans, cars etc? Vent windows could be popped to gain access, pop the lower column cover off and literally push the rod to engage the starter. No one sued GM over it.

likely forever.
