I once stuck my foot to the floor and went well over my cars "red line" and paid dearly for it...a new engine. ;( lesson learned. 😉

I was testing the reliability of the manufacturers numbers and it turns out that they really didn't leave much room for overages and thus I was stuck with a useless engine though some parts were salvageable.

I'm stuck for something worthwhile to post . . . so I'll stick to my usual, thank you

Don't get stuck on what the manufacturers numbers say as they lie. All parts of a vehicle will eventually go and need to be replaced. It has been a money making proposition ever since the first car was built, although back in the day they did make the parts to last longer, and the metal you could take a hammer to. Today's Vehicles are crap you can push the side of pretty much any make in and put a dent into it. A sticky situation indeed, but that is what we are stuck with if we own a vehicle.

This is a substantive post. Highly unusual. I doubt that it violates STG rules.

Luckily for me the STG has no rules, except the OP intended it to be light hearted conversation with no contraversy. 😉

I thought it was to keep it (the thread) at the top of the GF's page 1.

Are we stuck in a death spiral or just a sticky de-evolutionary rut?

After the company I worked for transferred me, from Montreal to Toronto, I invested in a bicycle as a means of "cheap" transportation. Toronto has streetcars and as everyone knows streetcars run on tracks. I was cycling to work one day and was distracted by a very attractive young lady. Well, as luck would have it, my from tire got stuck in one of those same tracks and I went "ass over teakettle". The young lady came to my rescue, helping me get up and I ended up getting a date with her (actually several). Ain't life strange? 🙂
