Yep. My other personal vehicle is a honda. They can not be killed. It is actually a replacement for the last honda which we put down at roughly 200k

Always heard how great Subarus were, I’ve had 3 friends all have similar terrible experiences with theirs.

Buy a Hyudai. It has a 10 year, 100k powertrain warranty. Our Santa Fe's transmission fudge the bed at 85k miles and it was replaced at no cost. Its now running fine with 120k miles.

A buddy of mine was thinking of buying a Subaru Outback until his wife asked him if that would make him a lesbian.

Edit: Good for Subaru for having the guts to have the ad campaign

Honda cars and Toyota trucks make a nerd healthy, wealthy and wise.

Ps I’ve never had serious issues with Subarus. This ‘09 Forester is still right as rain.

I had a 08' honda pilot - no serious issues. Got it up to 310k believe it or not...running smooth but the bottom basically rusted off.

Wanted another pilot but settled for a Lexus Rx350. Smooth sailin'.

Passive-aggressive antivaxx snowflake parents crying persecution for having to vax before being allowed into my kid’s snowflake school. We are “vigilantes” for calling them dipshits and so they require a safe space. I’ll give you a safe space, holistic nutritionist. Outer space.

Not an SUV, but Top Gear (the original, not whatever they have on now) could not kill a red Toyota Hilux no matter what they did. They even left it on top of a tall building that was imploded and the thing still started.

lol. I wonder what the overlap is for people who are both anti-abortion and anti covid vaccine. I cringe when I here then say "my body, my choice"

There's 3 that completely overlap, just add evangelicals to the 2 you already mentioned and it's a solid circle.

Heritage Auction prices history should be restricted from EB. If you watch the video "WATA video game scam" on Youtube, they are involved with inflating the retro "graded" game market. They had a group of investors go around and buy as many sealed retro games as possible at any price. Then created WATA Games grading services and rated all the sealed games they acquired. A reputable video game grading service already existed 10 years prior to their startup back in '09. Their services were never needed except to be the exclusive partner for Heritage and the planned scam. They also have a 3rd party group shill buying games from Heritage and relisting the same game inflating the price. The most drymounted up part one of the founders of Heritage was fined $1.2M in the 80's for doing the same fudge to the coin market.

I just looked at the Laurent Durieux Vertigo to see their tainted prices from Aug. These jackoffs are even grading prints. One of them was giving an interview with an EMEK eyeball in a giant sealed and graded sleeve behind him.

Im all for prints going up in value but not by these fudge heads. If you havent seen the video Karl Jobst does impressively heavy sleuthing to connect and expose the main assholes involved in this scam. Please consider restricting their sale history.

The scam video is amusing. I think the bigger scam isn't the inflated price paid for the game(s) by insiders, it is the fact that they are using that to drive business to WATA.

All about games or w/e convention they were trying to sell a sealed copy of halo for $75k. The sad part every vendor there thinks they have to compete and sell graded games. All perpetuating WATA bs company.

Like the video dude said, people are sending in their stuff to be graded even not knowing it is just a pile of dog poop. I am kinda of impressed that they created their own demand. I hope it never happens to prints

With those prices on Laurent Vertigo its already happening. They should be added as "not counted". fudge least we get to see their name for now until they create a team of minions.
