Half a lifetime of beatings through various live and learn moments adds a bit of grit and perseverance as well.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2019 2:11 amSimply remove all reason and accountability from your current state, and there you are.

12, nothing crazy. My shoe would catch on the kick panel above the pedals with every shift. Certainly drivable but would be quite annoying day after day.

Reviews indicate that it was some assembly error with a harness running under a bracket instead of over it. It'll likely be a 20 minute TSB on early cars and fixed on later ones.
That is kind of disappointing, I think I would’ve preferred it to the BMW in most other respects,troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 7:22 pmReviews indicate that it was some assembly error with a harness running under a bracket instead of over it.

I haven't driven one yet, but I probably should have bought one. Orange + with 100k warranty for $20k would be pretty cool. It'll be interesting to see how long I can handle the boring car, gotta last at least another year for the wife's car to be paid off.

Don't wait until the driveshaft fails. You'll be fukt then. My dad's co-worker had a '12 and the driveshaft went. They had it towed to the dealer to trade it in and the only offer the dealer gave them was to call a tow truck to bring it to the scrapyard for them.troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 11:42 pmD Griff wrote:

You mean the front - rear one in the MKZ? Mine is new, it had already failed when it went to auction. The little here put a new one in, cleaned it up, and sold it for a profit. Should last awhile.CaleDeRoo wrote:Don't wait until the driveshaft fails. You'll be fukt then. My dad's co-worker had a '12 and the driveshaft went.
