Same reason you claim to have owned several BMWs while never having one leak a single drop of oil; you're delusional.

I have only claimed that I never had UNUSUAL amounts of oil leaks, not "never having a single drop of oil". I will accept the answer that I must be a very lucky person, however, instead of being called a liar!
With respect, Bob P.

Kyle! How the heck you been man... Long while no talk.


My experience with Engineers is that they seem to think their designs​ are flawless or otherwise cannot be improved. However, it is somewhat unusual for them to apply the same logic to other engineers designs.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but how the hell does your flawless little car solve the situation? Is my car going to fix itself because yours doesn't have the issue? I guess the term 'recall' shouldn't exist because engineers designs are without fault right? C'mon man.... Using Inferior materials is in of its self a design flaw. Explain to me how the use of biodegradable rubber seals all over this car is not a design flaw, and I WILL show you a liar. Same goes for your stupid Inferior rubber valve seals, and dont get me started on the idiotic coolant transfer tube. Im not one to stand here with my twig and berries flopping in the wind and not do something about it because 'your' car doesn't have that issue. Rediculous.

If your not part of the solution... You are part of them problem!

You win. I can't discuss facts with irrational people and their irrelevant rants.
