@Mike_M_Klotz 245k miles (394k km) on this one, and still going. Needed ball joints, steering coupler, A/C condenser, and 4 new tires. Customer commutes over 200km a day. It drives pretty nice, but I prefer my other customers K900.

Does anyone else forget that the Kia Cadenza exists? I know I did until this one showed up at the shop.

[Will Hall @WillyD115]

@jcorriv35 @alltimefool Lol, that's how I found it. Early Saturday eggs and milk I forgot to buy, and I stumbled across it.

[Will Hall @WillyD115]

@jcorriv35 @alltimefool I've been buying it at Shoppers.

[Will Hall @WillyD115]

@CoreyLewis86 I'd recommend if they plan to keep this for 100k miles or more like their last car, buy the extended warranty through Honda, an old classmate of mine is shop foreman at Honda and had lots of terrible things to say about the newer Honda V6s and the new 10s speed auto. Just an FYI.

When you work 10 minutes from General Dynamics Land Systems, this is your morning commute traffic from time to time.

[Will Hall @WillyD115]

@LeftVentricle1 @Mileage_impo Exactly, they're leaving that important detail out.

@ElectronixPurge Jesus, how is it taking people so long. 3.5 is really good for the first time, next time you'll be 2 hours total.

[Will Hall @WillyD115]

@Spottyroo Happy Birthday, I know your pain of being understaffed and overbooked. Hopefully, you have a good weekend to make up for it.

[Will Hall @WillyD115]

@jcorriv35 My favourite generation, when I was newer in the automotive trade, a customer had a 2001 in blue, like the picture attached, and I had so much fun when I roadtested it.

@Mike_M_Klotz @Bringatrailer I'll never go through the hassle of importing a car again, but that thing almost makes me want to go through the pain again.

[Will Hall @WillyD115]

@jayedtx @miatatweets Basically, taking every part of the power window system apart and cleaning and lubricating them, which included the motor and the switches, which had a decent amount of corrosion, took way too much time. If they slow down again I'm getting new motors and regulators 😅

[Will Hall @WillyD115]

NA Miata power windows working how windows should. Some people won't get it, but these typically move at tortoise speed. So much nicer now.

[Will Hall @WillyD115]

@Mike_M_Klotz Well, we share the same opinion. It's sad to look at VW's interesting history of fun cars, and then there's this and its other stable mates. But I suppose it's what the market demands now.

[Will Hall @WillyD115]

@Mercruizer1 @jcorriv35 Little bastards, that really sucks with a classic.

[Will Hall @WillyD115]

I hate mice, I drove the Miata to work yesterday, went to go home, and noticed fuel gauge wasn't working. They made a nice home on top of the fuel tank over the winter, and the fuel gauge wire was barely holding on. It's all fixed, now onto the power window maintenance...

[Will Hall @WillyD115]

@Mike_M_Klotz @rwe123 Your continued luck with notable, problematic vehicles needs to be studied. Well, except for the Expedition, you got the exact outcome with that one.

[Will Hall @WillyD115]

@Mike_M_Klotz VAG group just isn't trying anymore, are they?

[Will Hall @WillyD115]

@omgchomp I went to the Margaritaville in Niagara Falls thinking it would be dumb, but I had a great time, the drinks were great, the food was good and the atmosphere was fun and I already enjoy Jimmy Buffetts music. I get why you like it now 😀
