True that. 66% failure rate here. Took me three attempts to get it right. Only had one vehicle in the 40 I've owned (kind of) that left me. A Honda patrol bike that decided it didn't want me on her anymore.

What he said. I'm not sure how it works in the 'States, but here batteries are pro rated. If they die before their expected lifespan, replacement is based on the useful life it had.

Not grammar, spelling. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

He knew they didn't work, and still let it go out? I don't think I'd be getting it serviced by them.

Even after more than a year I'm deeply in car lust. I pat it when I get stuff out of the garage. Any excuse to drive it will do, even now with gas prices over the moon. How can you not love a car that makes teenage girls stop in the middle of the road to take a pic? Tracey and I nearly wet...

Miley Cirus, only doing covers, plus vid.

Lane assist is the first thing I turn off. Who wants a nanny to butt in when you're setting up a corner entry/exit? Without trying to offend, anyone who relies on that should consider not driving.

Who broke it is clear.

I didn't bother. The car was new, the holes were clean inside, so I just blanked them off.

My MX5 had lifter clatter. But only when cold and was oil type dependant. never did it with Mobil R4T, did with Mobil One. You could listen with the screwdriver stethiscope. Get someone to start it when hot, hold the handle to your ear, the other end to the valve cover. Great for isolating noise...

Yes, there's the "car language" thing. Such as a car ahead slightly drifts toward the lane divider, that's because the driver is thinking of a lane change and they look towards that lane. Unconsciously you go where you look, that's your clue he might change lanes as you pass him. It's similar to...

On the weekend road trip I got a chance to drive it through some twisty's in the wet. The other times were during running in or on motorways which don't tell you much. I was surprised at the excellent steering feel, I could clearly feel the front tyres hitting greasy patches and giving clear...

I won't be buying one. Way, way too expensive here. Tens of thousands more than the Mustang

The last one kept me alive. As for high vis, I made eye contact with a driver waiting to pull out, and he proceeded to do so, I avoided him. They may not actually try to kill you, but they're indifferent which is much the same thing.

Mine seems to go into battery saver mode if I'm working on it and cycling the ignition a few times without starting. Voltage is always over 12 too.

I don't need MSM to tell me 95 and 98 prices are over $3.50 litre here. But I drove 600 km's over the weekend, and not once did I think about gas prices. I was out for the drive, in a great car.

Having ridden for 35+ years, I do not believe loud exhausts save lives. Especially in modern cars with all the sound proofing and powerful sound systems. When car drivers hit a biker it's usually "WTF was that?" or SMIDSEY - Sorry Mate I Didn't See You. And the number of 'tards who barely hear...

Don't put too much weight on that 867hp. There's some highly questionable numbers coming out of some UK dynos.

Yeah, that's OK. You can tell it's a V8. The others must have a different firing order as well.

I do like the VAG 'individual' mode setting . You can mix and match most parameters and , on later models, use a slider to fine tune the adaptive dampers.
