Re: Does it matter where they are built?

My current vehicles were made in America (Saturn Ion) and Japan (Kawasaki Vulcan) :)

Re: What are your thoughts on driving an old worn out car?

I have a Saturn Ion quad-coupe that's about 11 years old now, haven't had any major maintenance issues. The driver side power window motor has failed twice and the HVAC blower got a bit noisy so I had it replaced preemptively (it never actually failed, just didn't want to have no heat or A/C if it d...

Re: Another Day, Another Idiot Driver (Misc Thread for Stories)

The A/C coolant hose blew up in a Ford E-350 I was driving, I thought the radiator cap had blown at first. Turned it off and let it cool down before I even dared opened the hood :lol:
