New car rant

pishta said

Oh, I forgot the price on new car bumper repair to include paint on a new car. Got rear ended in my SC400, 5mph chain reaction type. No frame damage but the rear bumper beam plus skin plus paint was $1200. Im not advising people to drive their classic to work everyday, but a 4 year old car today is gonna do everything a 4 day old car will do for far less.

A little for the ford boys here :
My wifes 2017 ford escort , that has every option available , including turbo, ''has water in the oil'', and the dealer is talking about replacing the entire engine , only 50,000 on the clock , and is under a manteinance agreement w/ them, never been touched by anyone but ford..
They told her it could happen to anything, which is B.S. , depends on engine design / no. of headbolts aound the cyl ./etc.
I have never blown a headgasket on any mopar , even a hemi w/ 13 1/2 comp. and .020 steel shim headgaskets. I did blow a headgasket on a 406 sbc once tho.

yeah , ford has a better idea !!
