Not at all what I meant by issues. I was referring to things you think are not right or could be better. My list gets huge in a GM and not so much so in other cars.

I guess it is all really a perspective thing. I look at the vehicles everyone here thinks are so great and I think "what a pile of shit". But I get to work on these cars. I see them with hundreds of thousands of miles on them, and I see the associated repair bills and maintenance costs. I see how they hold up, how well they are really engineered, and how those "cheap looking" plastic interiors hold up when compared to their wrapped brethren.

I drive all Buick cars, and Nissan trucks. I don't want the high costs associated with bullshit cars that look pretty, but are substantive crap. I don't want to have to come home only to fix my cars, and if I have to, I want it to be easy. [/rant]

The wrapped cars require some pre-thought before purchase. The cheapest 2 cars I've ever owned for maintenance were both M type BMW's.

And of course right now I get to drive something work leases for me and picks up the service. I only pay for repairs & tires, but the certified bumper to bumper takes care of everything but the tires.

As for the substantive crap, I'm curious what tops your list.

And just to be clear, by annoyances I was talking completely about fit, finish, ergonomics and feel before. Reliability is another game. Of course, the flip side of my M cars was my Silverado which was hands down the most expensive car to maintain I've ever owned.

The M3 and older M5's have allways been reliability champs. The v10, when it first came out , sullied that badge. That transmission problem was not good.

I6 BMW's were champs.

Hey, that's my secret. Keeps the sphincter soft

would love to see a 4in coil in an SSA sub with 9.25-10in spiders, dual sewn tinsels, 4hp motor and designed for pure street beat like the Xcon only beefed up quite a bit more.

Aaron you need to catch up on Breaking Bad by next year so we can talk about it in the hop.

Sorry, just no way to stay up on shows if I want to keep customers happy.

The reaction to it was appalling, not sure why they had morons dissect what his speech writers wrote. Ought to be interesting to see how this adds to the collision course considering you know damn well that it was all done on purpose to illicit a reaction. Not like he had anything to do with his speech besides delivering it.

The stupid right really needs to learn to keep the bible ought of their speeches though. The ones who "need" to hear it would vote that way anyways and the rest despise it. Fucking dumb.

So I realized I just left my office with that dog GIF up. It would have been funny if someone walked into my office while I was gone.

Only caught snippets of it this morning, but it seemed like the same "quit your bitchin', pull yourself up by your bootstraps like I did, blah blah blah Obama is the devil incarnate blah blah blah" Republican diatribe that's been around since '09.

The DNC is going to be filled with equal amounts of hyperbolic bullshit, no doubt.

Never ceases to amaze me how expensive Amphenol connectors are, 190$ for two panel mount and two strain relief 2-pin type K thermocouple connections.

So you never stop drinking?
