Not sure how this is possible but it sounds like some kind of short in the ignition system. Bad tumbler? Faulty relay? Break out the multimeter or a crucifix I guess.

Summer = swole gainz

Meh. The market is saturated with fast luxury SUVs. Maybe they’re not as fast as this, but they don’t need to be. That Ferrari badge doesn’t make it look less like a Mazda/Genesis nightmare on wheels.

The tax credit gets applied at tax time on your taxes if they qualified for the credit as an organization. Kia/Hyundai didn’t meet the criteria because their cars aren’t made with US materials yet, so they’re matching the money as lease/finance cash up front to stay competitive.

It’d be a cold day in hell before GRRM finishes his book, let alone what you’ve just outlined here. That was never going to happen, and even if it did, it’d be $70k to start.

Oof. Felt this in my rusty ass project 4Runner soul. Came this close to doing that on my truck but luckily I made the realization just as the bolt was starting to stretch and backed it out to find a couple threads missing halfway down the shaft. Valve jobs get new bolts now on my cars. It’s small insurance I don’t make a 45 minute job into a 4-5 day job.

In all honesty, this is something that’s almost never discussed with valve covers: you really should replace the bolts, it’s just too much heat up there (especially on old cars) they’re gonna get fucked up over time.
