Things like “Fiat stands for “Fix It Again Tony”” etc.
Why do Skodas have a heated rear windscreeen? To keep your hands warm while you push it.
(I’ve owned a few Skodas, they’ve all been good cars)
My Chevy is like a rock, I have to farm around it
Lamborghini stands for Looks Alright Mostly But Overall Really Grandiose (and) Hardly Inconspicuous Now Innit
FORD - fixed or repaired daily
source: boomer…
either lemmy users are overwhelmingly born in the 50s or this thread proves that it’s more than a boomer thing
Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious.
At least boat owners are unified: Bring Out Another Thousand (bucks)
Can confirm: $1000USD is an ISO standard boat unit. “How much will that cost?” “Only about 20 boat units.”
Source: own and live on a sailboat.
A boat is a hole in the water into which you throw money.
I’ve heard GMC as God’s Mechanical Crisis.
My boss calls Ford: Found on roadside dead
FIAT. Fix it again Tony.
Ya know why Ford started using aluminum istead of steel? So you could push it home when it breaks down
Backwards: Driver Returns On Foot.
That was always one of my dads favorites.
mine was always, Ford: At least they circled the problem.
I won’t diss other car brands, but Toyota is the the only brand I’ll spend money on…after a bajillion years of them being at the top of the dependability list, why would you choose anything else?
Hard to go wrong with Toyota but let’s not pretend they didn’t have to face one of the most expensive (per vehicle) recall ever on multiple models with the full frame replacement on their trucks…
Honda is another brand that’s extremely reliable in general.
If you’re not in the States, Hyundai and Kia are in the top 5 for reliability, and are much more affordable than Toyota and Honda
Best avoided if you live in that one country who’s manufacturing laws are designed to benefit shareholders rather than consumers though lol
The wave of cars being stolen in the US via the use of USB cords has soured me on those brands permanently.
The fact that the vulnerability was fixed via a software patch did not do wonders for my opinion either.
All American car brands suck
Does that still make me a boomer?
Buick has always been pretty good. The LaSabre drives like a sofa on wheels and the 3800 is a decent enough motor.
I’d also say that Panther body Fords punch way over their weight class.
omg no!
Fiat is ‘Fix it again tomorrow’
