Need opinion on car issue

[HaloMagic]

Did you try taking it out, blowing on it, and putting it back in?

[Hollyw00d]

Don't forget to open and shut the door, then hold the power button 5 seconds

[Troll Daddy]

Trade that sled in ... I pay top dollar and can put you into a car you can be proud of driving.

That was the point, after seeing the exhaust plume his date refuses to.

[Adam]

wicked had some trouble with his peugot on the 101 last week. I think he's looking to sell or barter. 

[NJHalo]

My old man is a television repairman. He's got this ultimate set of tools!

I can fix it

[nate]

Having car troubles?  Buy a Renault... then you will understand what car troubles really are!

[mrwicked]

You lease so I doubt you rack the miles I do. Mine has about 130k on it. Drives fine, gets better gas mileage than when it was new but requires oil added. Audis and BMWs have the same idiosyncrasy, beautiful performing cars but they burn a little oil.

 

This all could have been avoided if xboom had just invested in a fully restored Renault R10 sedan and then he could really wow those dates. I almost bought this one but my wife knew it was a chick magnet and said "No, oh hell no, just no." Evidently her Dad owned one and it caused marital friction. Or it leaked oil, can't remember.

 

 

I don't lease. I might not put on the miles you do but I commute 40 miles each way most days.

Makes sense that they burn a little oil when they get up in age. I've never heard that I need to put extra in but maybe when it gets up there I will have to.

Probably will swap to something else before it gets to that stage though. 

I'm not a big fan of having a german car over 100k miles - that's when they start to get expensive.

 

Props on the Renault - the ultimate octogenarian panty dropper.

yeah.

the hooptee blew a tire on the GG bridge. almost lost a spinner too.

luckily the airbrushed latina on the hood was a good conversation starter with the tourists taking pictures of the bay.

Pretty much all the German cars are dream machines until the century mark. That's when you find out certain parts are dealer only and start forking over stupid coin for labor to put in a side marker light or some such item you could find in a Pep Boys if only you had kept with a Puegot.

In about three weeks I am heading to San Jose to help a friend pick up a 69 Fiat Sport Coupe then seeking out danger by driving it all the way back to Encnitas. I think with two extra quarts of oil, a gallon of antifreeze, a roll of duct tape and four 10 amp fuses we should be able to make it to San Ardo if we take the coast route or Coalinga on the 5.

Except for those old Merc diesels.  They went forever.

 

How about that old Fiat of yours, how is the reliability on that?

[Blarg]

That is a year by year and model by model issue. One of the reasons they were not that successful in the US is they never had Toyota reliability. But they were more fun to drive than a Corolla.

[Tank]

so wait, that was your girl? i thought she looked familiar. tell her thanks again for the extra taco bell breakfast burrito she just happened to have handy.

In general don't most French and Italian cars fall apart the minute they leave the lot?

[mrwicked]

^ british too.

i love aston martin and range rover but man they are not reliable.

[nate]

Aston Martin makes the most stunningly beautiful cars on the planet.  I would do naughty things to this car.

 

[Brandon]

Yeah, my Audi is an oil burner....carbon build up as well.

 

I like the prices us German drivers assume with our cars.......$90 for a visor clip and $200 for a center console latch.

[Spencer]

Theres an Aston Rapide S, Ferarri 458, and some kind of Maserati that all park together in my office lot.

So many ass prints on the fenders of those cars from peeps posing for photos

[mrwicked]

i was never a maserati fan but the new convertible is delicious.

 

[nate]

New Maserati's are definitely sexy.

There was a Vantage in the lane next to me crossing the causeway last week. Everything about it looks great.

I want my car back.

Pretty much. My sister owned a Fiat X1/9 that spent more time in the shop than it did in her driveway. I owned a 1982 Peugeot 505S turbodiesel that used to get some really strange maladies. It had a separate vacuum pump for the power brakes that failed during a trip in rural Arkansas, where of course there was absolutely no shortage of Peugeot parts.

My Father in law owned a 505 Peugeot but not even he was masochistic enough to buy a diesel.

[Ray McKigney]

Sounds like a banana in the tail pipe.
