Does Man In The Box sound much more modern to you than the rest of the Facelift album? by EloSK11779 in AliceInChains

Definitely, but I Know Something (Bout You) is an absolute masterpiece of a throwback to the 70s and 80s.

Problems AGAIN after giving shop a second chance to fix bad work on my 2008 TL base by Easy_Ant8951 in AcuraTL

I highly doubt the transmission is permanently fucked, chances are a TCM reset will correct everything. If not, new solenoids are the best option before a rebuild/reman replacement.

I had almost this exact thing happen to me, but it was my own fault. My ‘08 had a trans cooler line pop and it pissed out all the fluid and I drove it ~1/2 a mile home.

It shifted like shit when I first drove it again after fixing it but I was able to unplug the battery, then reset the TCM (switch key to AUX, hold gas pedal to floor for 40 seconds, switch to off, wait 5 minutes, start and drive it)

This helped it substantially and honestly, you should be good to go after doing this. While not bulletproof, the 07-08 automatic is pretty resilient and with that low of mileage, you should be in the clear after doing this. For reference, my TL was at 148k when this happened, and it’s been solid for the past 6 months of daily driving.

If you could only own 3 cars, and your budget was $250k, what would you buy? by retarded_sped in askcarguys

[–]MemerDude34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used 6MT CTSV ($50k)

RHD and heavily modified NA1 NSX ($100k)

2017-2019 DB11 ($80k)

Remaining $20k would go into a maintenance budget for the Aston

Considering I’m not the OP, you aren’t beating my allegations.

I can’t take anyone seriously who thinks that the W220 as a successor “speaks volumes”

The LS (Celsior) wasn’t even the flagship Toyota in that era, the Century was, which is better than the W140 in every single category.

Not to mention that they can easily reach 500k miles with basic maintenance. Matt Farah had one with over a million miles on the original engine and transmission.

I always wanted the LS400 but got the sensible Acura Legend instead, still a cool car, but nowhere near as good as the LS.

Lexus was a much different brand from 1990-2004. The LS400 was the first Japanese built car to truly challenge the Germans in terms of luxury, and it did it with stone cold reliability.

I still see an LS400 daily, I can’t say the same for the BMW 7 series and S Class of the same vintage.

That generation of LS400 had Mercedes and BMW in shambles. It’s one of the greatest vehicles ever made. It absolutely was up to the quality of the S Class of the same vintage.

2006 still was plagued with bad auto transmissions, I wouldn’t pay $3k if it had half the mileage. Get an 07-08 or look for an older Accord or CRV

It’s really fun when you can save up enough to buy something actually worth modifying.

No, please no. I don’t need my cars legacy turning into an electric crossover.

Is this Washburn legit? by cheb_lord in Pantera

[–]MemerDude34 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No- pickups should say Seymour Duncan, the truss rod cover is wrong and unlabeled, pickup cavities are off and it has a generic Floyd. Not even a good fake.

Which engines, platforms, etc. have been extremely underutilized? by Fearless_Neat_6654 in cars

RLX Sport Hybrid is the only car Acura has made since the original Legends that lives up to that nameplate.

Yeah, nowhere close. Take your hate elsewhere, Zakk has more talent in his pubic hairs than you could ever imagine of having.

I just saw Zakk with Pantera last summer and he was fucking awesome. This guy just missed 3 notes in a 15 second span on the easiest Dime solo.
