It is always easy to come up with a justification for ANYTHING or an outlier example. There are many versions of, Teacher, teacher, I don't have to do the right thing because Johnny did NOT do the right thing. "I'll wait for the INNOVATION to become the NORM before I lend my name to it."

Nope. You are making this crap up. If you are referring to the PVC valve, it is easily cleaned. Read your owner’s manual. I would love to be your mechanic - I could put my kids through Harvard fleecing you - LOL.

Young people have a FUTURE and they CARE about the health of the planet. Personally, I LOVE what Greta Tuneberg says and does! She drives an Ebike around.

At least learn to spell her name correctly. If feel sorry for you if a high school kid is your idol.

Cute

Educate yourself before posting.

double cute ............and I could care less about spealinkin

And I could care less about your opinion. Feel free to carry on your nonsense with someone else.

You can believe that bullroar if you want but the war in Ukraine has not created this problem.

It's a well known fact that he makes things up. He's even admitted as much in the latest gun control thread that was closed.

Not the point. Seems a lot of people are confused about the Keystone pipeline and what was canceled and what is operating. Including you.

It seems this discussion has devolved into childish personal insults. I guess it is time for the moderators to end it.

OK. LOL. I think that a lot of the things the manufacturer recommends are to cover harsh driving conditions like dirt roads, smog, etc., or to make money for the dealer. And, they expect the car to be driven 300K miles or so. But, I believe any car will easily go 100K miles without doing any of those maintenance things. Note that, when you trade in a car, the dealer doesn't verify what maintenance you have performed. I never change any fluids except the engine oil, and I don't replace air filters. I change the oil every 5K miles, but I even think that is way too often. If it's not broken, don't fix it. But, I do want good tires and brakes. I always buy the best tires and brakes they sell. If something major goes wrong, I will probably just buy a new car.

Thank you for pointing out what all we don't understand without bothering to educate us, since you seem to think you know what really happened.

Well, actually the dealer may or may not verify it - I have never been a dealer so I can't speak to what they do. But I do verify both the accident/damage record and maintenance record. No recorded maintenance , no purchase. More and more people are doing that today, because too many people drive a car without maintaining it, then because it is all shiny they expect to get top dollar. Maintenance is recorded in a national database by all reputable mechanics now.
