I use nothing but synthetic oil and change trans fluid frequently.

are you sure @silverbullet2893 hadn't sat in it just before you and left you a "surprise"?

No Chicago sunroof.

100k warranty is only good if you have absolutely everything done at the dealership.

Kevin Hart wrecked his 1970 'Cuda!

Shall I try incorporating this into my chainsaw fuel? It's only 5% Nitromethane.

Correction. His buddy did. Sounded like a really sweet piece of equipment.

Had the opportunity to examine a new Hyundai in the showroom the other day. Damn, those things reek inside. Not at all the new car smell I remember.

Saw a disturbing number of replacement engines sitting around awaiting installation while waiting around the service department. Both used.

My wife has been wanting to shop around and I started heavily looking into the Hyundai Sante Fe. I have heard really good things and the reviews were really good. Now you got me worried.

Don’t be. The engine problems have been cleared up.

I would. You might have to adjust the idle and the high side for the full speed no load burble. You might want to add a little oil to the mix if you care about the saw. I would try it out in my Poulan strato anytime just for fun, not my Stihl 026.

When I was a kid I had a little orange VW
Beetle with an airplane engine and a little pull starter. had a glow plug that had to heat up
If you could get to started it ran like a banshee as fast as that motor would turn

The one I had was way less sophisticated

No steering no throttle just point it in he direction you wanted it to go it would stop when it hit something or ran out of fuel

I had one for twelve years. I LOVED mine. I was unable to have regular maintenance done on it and yet the most serious issue it had, until the end, was needing the AC compressor replaced. I also had a new alternator put on it. You’d be surprised how little money I put into it and yet it kept going. I would buy another in a heartbeat. I’ve always wondered how long it would have lasted with regular maintenance.

I do all my own work so I would too. I'm more along the line of change the fluids to syns but I think that would void the warranty. I just can't stand going to the dealer for every little thing. Plus I don't trust them much.

My SIL has a Tucson and it has been quite maintenance free. It's dead now but more from lack of care than a real problem with the engine or transmission.

Biggest PITA was when the drive failed on the starter. Absolutely the worst for access. ( 4 cylinder)
