For a movie that looks like it had a $300 budget it was pretty funny,it made me chuckle
"if" it were possible, that's what i would have done. but the hoses are molded to shape, with fucking quick couplers molded into each end, and the tees are molded into the middle.. and they positioned them so you could not unhook them without damn near disassembling everything under the hood/on the firewall. the dirty CSers went to a hell of a lot of trouble trying to be sure a normal person could not replace/repair them...View attachment 19117219
Fix Or Repair Daily ?

Yes but they dug their own grave imo
yeah. when i can palm this POS off on some other poor schnook, i'm going to buy an older jeep. one with points, and a carburetor, regular hoses with clamps, and a damned metal radiator. fuck modern technology/cheap shit...

Paid $50 for a '68 Ford Falcon, had a broken transmission mount that I replaced with a prefab metal building girt clip. The only way it would run was with the distributor in 180* opposite what it should have been. Ran like a top, those oldies are what you want for sure hippy.
The 2025 Tesla Cybertruck starts at $79,990, and it comes with a 600-horsepower dual-motor, all-wheel drive electric powertrain. Nearly all of the car's available features come standard – a list that includes an 18.5-inch touch screen, a panoramic roof and plenty of driver-assistance tech
And when the masses complained, she responded “let them drive a Tesla“ & thus began a revolution
"kill them ALL, let none escape alive..."
i've been given a 1978 Jeep Cherokee Chief, with the 225 ci Buick v-6 motor. it's rusty (which i can live with) and has an automatic transmission (which i'll get used to) but...it's all the way out in western Kentucky at a relatives house. THAT...would be an expensive roll-back ride to get it here. we may end up moving out there, but the future is foggy.
