You should have driven to @adequate 's. She was grilling the meats.
@HockeyDoxie @adequate I think she was a little busy for dinner yesterday but when my Durango is delivered I plan to drive it to visit on my way through the Appalachias to Alabama/Florida. Going to put it through its paces
its a dodge ...

@fknretardlol @HockeyDoxie @adequate I'm a certified mechanic. Only problem I ever had with any Dodge I owned was lube shop kids breaking the dipstick handle off (common recall for the hemi chargers). Had to remove the dipstick tube to get it out and they double filled the engine with oil and the compression caused a piston to split and a valve to bend.
@graf @fknretardlol @HockeyDoxie @adequate What is your least favorite car, and why?
@Elliptica @fknretardlol @HockeyDoxie @adequate Mid-2000s Hyundai Accent (and by extension the Elantra because it's functionally the same) as well as the Kia Rio because they are the same platform. I had to make a tool out of threaded rod and steel plates to use as a hammer to break free a caveated wheel bearing that fused to the half shaft. Took me 30 minutes of straight smashing to break it free. Never again will I ever work on one of those pieces of shit for any amount of money
@graf @fknretardlol @HockeyDoxie @adequate I was wondering because I've been looking at a bigger car, and I've somewhat landed on either the Toyota Sienna or Subaru Ascent. Everyone makes Subaru jokes, but I've not heard too much bad about either, except my dad says Toyotas are kind of expensive for parts, and with Subaru there something with the transmission that goes bad.
@Elliptica @fknretardlol @HockeyDoxie @adequate Anybody I've ever known with a Toyota has never had any real problems with them aside from general maintenance and replacement of common wear-and-tear parts (alternator, starter, etc). I worked for Denso so I personally would never buy a Toyota because that place was a revolving door of college girls who's sole purpose at that plant was to ride the production control cock carousel. Zero attention to QA on any of their HVACs (they were also making for the Ford Edge and Flex I think at that time).
I have no opinion on Subaru. I wanted to buy a station wagon and I looked at the Outback and decided if I'm going SUV style/size I would just go with the Durango because it's bigger, beefier. I got the blacktop package too so everything is blacked out. It's a banger for sure

@graf @HockeyDoxie @adequate I'm all over Alabama on business pretty much constantly, you passing through or sight-seeing?
@TizzoHeavy @HockeyDoxie @adequate I'm visiting but I'll be headed to Florida from there to hang out with some decades old twitter friends and then taking the long way home. Will probably be around Birmingham for most of my time in AL. Always down for lunch with a poast friend
