We did it again! Won 24 Hours of Lemons C class at #gingermanraceway with this stupid little Ranger, and boy howdy there’s not a chance in hell we’ll ever be in C again!

@MotorCityFurCon Twice in a row now, wtf.

[Tam! Dingo @hydrokloric]

Okay so I’m trying to distance myself from the Twitterspace: my coworkers are great but I’m gone:how y’all doing?

@TakuroSpirit Find the pin out, jump the CAN pins to bypass the light.

How many fix-it tickets would it take to get to the cost of a new assembly? Leave it for that long.

@CertifiedLeggi Positively balmy.

@mikurubaeahina @Motor1com The little suspension badge to the left of the steering wheel can tell you that, depending on what it says.

Or you can test it the fun way- if it only does a one-legged burnout, it’s not the tow package with the posi!

I just wish the gears in the 4L60 were better spaced.

@mikurubaeahina @Motor1com I think you may have left one of the B-Body’s true strengths off, but given your use case it makes sense: they haul with the exact same driving experience (and fuel economy!) as driving by themselves.

@SparkPluggUwU @EightTrck God that brings back some late 2000’s memories of webcomics.

@jasonfenske13 As an ex-owner of a 1st generation Impreza RS, I’m not sure I could ever stomach a CVT Subaru.

@IAmSuburban Hello (in Hindi)

@MintySnep Meanwhile I just assume everyone thinks I’m the neighborhood jerk when I start the straight-piped rotary.

@carsandcomrades Obnoxious loudmouths that have inflated opinions of themselves, that tracks.

@TakuroSpirit @Mike_M_Klotz As with basically all AT tires, they suck on almost all winter surfaces. Deep, packed snow is about the only place they work okay.

@dakinedoggo TF. “It wasn’t, but now I definitely won’t tell you when it is.” Why can’t people just be happy for each other?

@dilaedathon It’s either a bandanna, or a… *checks package* magnetic handbag clasp.

@EightTrck In general it was going downhill, but Covid sealed the deal. The airlines were so desperate for any money at all they abandoned everything worthwhile and then when money had to be made again and people had to fly, they realized they could keep being awful.

@STICKERBXMB The majority of my experience comes from Wagoneers, not RAMs, so maybe that’s the difference.

….aaaand being development vehicles.

[Tam! Dingo @hydrokloric]

@STICKERBXMB Start stop is a good selling point though.

[Tam! Dingo @hydrokloric]

@STICKERBXMB Out of curiosity, have you driven one with the system inoperative? It’s a noticeable power loss, especially on the pentastar.

Funny enough the regen braking is annoying to me since it can’t be controlled by the brakes. It’s just off throttle.

[Tam! Dingo @hydrokloric]

@STICKERBXMB @Tauss_srgl They boost engine output and add regenerative braking, it’s not only start stop.
