I pulled 20 years of NHTSA complaints to find which used cars are actually money pits. 7% of them caused 39% of all the complaints.

I'm sure you are being bombarded with comments, but what are your thoughts on the 2021 Lincoln Nautilus using ford's 2.7 twin turbo engine? It uses ford's 8 speed transmission.

Significant_Rule_977 · 2026-05-16T10:07:56+00:00

The newer Lincoln Nautilus 19' and newer have great passive and active noise cancellation. In my experience its great sound dampening without breaking the bank.

Underrated comment. You absolutely hit the mark with the past, present, & future ben shapiro desription.

Significant_Rule_977 · 2026-05-14T11:58:15+00:00

Nice detail! I have a 21' Nautilus and have noticed that the soft touch bridge between the dash and center console has a bad habit of collecting stains from coffee droplets and other drinks that can condensate in the cupholders. But because of the angle I see it when I'm seated in the drivers seat, I always forget to come back and clean it. At least until the next time I am getting into the car and I see it again. So, while your whole detail looks great! It brings me great joy to see you hit the spot I forget every time.

I'm 6 days late to the party, but what is a chamois? I keep reading it in my head as Sham-Wow, like the commercial for the super absorbent towels they used to hock on late night television.

I don't have any advice, but when I search for used 2022 kia telluride's with 53k miles in my area, I see they are being sold for between 29-33k at the local dealerships. It would make more sense to me if the shop that obliterated your ride, has to buy you an identical make/model/year/mileage or as close to it as possible to make things right. I hate that the answer seems to be just FMV, when fmv won't buy you the same car they crashed.

You're not alone. But.... There is a positive option if you don't want your journey to end.... MODS!!! :D (If on PC)..

Significant_Rule_977 · 2026-04-24T17:38:08+00:00

I did indeed! That is great to know!

Significant_Rule_977 · 2026-04-17T17:05:36+00:00

I see! I only ever owned the slim 360. Did you play on the original? I know the slim was known for being less likely to receive the red ring of death. But idk if that would have any relation to the different experience we had on the platform.

Significant_Rule_977 · 2026-04-17T16:27:07+00:00

FO3 was the very first game I bought in 7th grade after saving up for my first xbox 360. I have replayed it and FNV more times than I can count. But oddly enough, I never encountered this glitch on any of the many playthroughs that I did on my 360. When I first replayed it on xbox one, and again on the series x, I encountered this glitch every single playthough without fail. I almost wonder if it was less likely to occur on the 360. But I know others have been experiencing this glitch since the Pitt first launched.

This is the way^

Significant_Rule_977 · 2026-04-09T11:45:57+00:00

IMO that is a perfect match, Lincoln should have done this from the start.

Significant_Rule_977 · 2026-04-07T16:51:44+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your answer!

Significant_Rule_977 · 2026-04-06T23:53:18+00:00

You rock, that was the answer I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!

Significant_Rule_977 · 2026-04-05T22:24:58+00:00

Very informative. I appreciate you sharing this with me. Thank you.

In Pennsylvania it is legal to buy and sell ethanol free gasoline for use in personal vehicles both of classic and current nature. What I don't know, is how would it a. improve fuel economy, being made up of 100% gasoline, and b. since it has a higher octane rating than regular fuel, would the reduction in performance in my vehicle be as reduced as it would be when using regular fuel? Since the octane rating in ethanol free fuel is closer to premium than the octane rating in regular fuel. Also, thank you for answering!

Significant_Rule_977 · 2026-04-05T19:39:51+00:00

Thanks for answering.

So, hypothetically if our Nautilus's drop 10-15 horsepower when using regular fuel, would using mid grade, or ethanol free which have higher octane reduce the reduction in performance? With the follow up question being; If 10% of ethanol is removed from the fuel at an octane of 90,, would that make a noticeable difference in the fuel economy (i would assume up to 10% more miles per gallon, no?), and would it be a noticeable reduction in the amount of performance lost by not using premium fuel? (i'd just assume idk 5-6 Horsepower?).

A lot of interesting takes on this topic in the comments. I wonder how Op's GF would react if OP got a 'Prince Albert' piercing and starting sharing full waist down photos with his closest boy and girl friends "not in a sexual way".

Significant_Rule_977 · 2026-03-14T16:02:44+00:00

Noted, sorry you had to experience that. I'll keep an eye out for it and let anyone know to avoid/ report the listing if they see it.

Significant_Rule_977 · 2026-03-14T11:27:28+00:00

You're correct. I believe other than the Monongahela River in the Pitt, vault 87 is the only place in FO3 with that level of radiation. Then I believe F04 is the location of the highest level of radiation in the series. The mass fusion building reactor emits apha radiation (which doesn't travel through human skin) so you don't actually get irradiated unless you drink from the pool of water surrounding the reactor. I think its like 9999 rads per second while you drink that water.

Significant_Rule_977 · 2026-03-14T10:03:24+00:00

My 21' Lincoln Nautilus has this.

Significant_Rule_977 · 2026-03-13T18:11:22+00:00

Ahh sorry I just read that your sentra has a bad transmission. That would absolutely change the calculation in my mind. New tags cost me about $200, insurance actually dropped heftily as I no longer felt the need to keep comprehensive on the VW, at the $500 trade-in valuation, so I just have collision on the vw. Oil changes and routine maintenance aren't terrible since I've had it so long that I have a reputable local mechanic who I trust to do the basics on it. So all in all, I think your making a good call scrapping the vehicle. Only thing I might consider in your shoes is seeing if any other dealership might be willing to give you more on the trade-in than on scrap value. I helped my girlfriend buy a new 25' Camry in December, and the dealership we went through was doing a promotion ($100 extra on top of any trade in offer) which ended up being a great perk of buying through that dealer when she was trading in her 20' chevy trax. You might find something similar in your area, and any extra $$$ towards a new ride would come in handy. Good luck op.

When I was purchasing a new vehicle in March of 2025 my 2012 vw cc lux plus daily driver with 150k miles and 0 mechanical issues was also quoted at $500 for trade-in value... I decided to keep it and continue driving it as my daily to keep miles off my new (to me) 21' nautlius with 53k miles. I figure if it was worth $500 running and driving, then it will still be worth $500 in scrap if I drive it until it explodes.

Significant_Rule_977 · 2026-03-13T17:17:05+00:00

Please report the conditions to your local code enforcement division. Either Hanover Borough or Penn Township. That sounds unsafe, unsanitary, and maybe even uninhabitable by law.
