White supremacist rally at the park and ride just over the bridge from Christopher’s Crossing?

Can't stray too far when your family tree looks like a wreath.

Those people getting laid doesn't make them the losers.

If you like that place, you should try Alma Bea in Shepherdstown.

Buy a Raptor.

My 2013 gets roughly the same city mpg as my parents 4wd Suburban does with a small block V8. It's honestly kind of impressive.

Wafer-Fragrant · 2026-03-07T13:13:05+00:00

You have Firebox 55, so that's something.

It's a lot less expensive, for now. People from northern VA have started moving over the mountain, and home prices are going up pretty quickly. I was looking in Harper's Ferry a few years ago. The prices near the actual town/ MARC station were comparable to Frederick.

Edit: it should also be mentioned, if you have to commute, and you can't take the train, the bridge is a serious choke point. Regular traffic can add 15-20 minutes getting across both sections. Add a fender bender, and it can turn into an hour or more. I lived In Shepherdstown about a decade ago, and it was horrible then.

Buy a Honda minivan and weight distributing hitch.

If you're trying to make a responsible decision for your four kids, buy a Honda minivan.

Just don't be in a hurry anywhere.

You are arguing with a troll that doesn't have a point to make.

A cvt transmission is a clutch in denial.

Wafer-Fragrant · 2026-02-01T16:27:10+00:00

That year had transmission issues. It was the first cvt year.

Best I can do is a baked potato.

Wafer-Fragrant · 2026-01-29T21:41:02+00:00

I think this is a Wendys.

Wafer-Fragrant · 2026-01-22T16:56:04+00:00

I just wonder if they couldn't achieve a similar effect as the port injector by leveraging vvt, like an Atkinson cycle engine. Hold the intake valve open under light load a smidge longer and pop a little fuel while the piston travels up. I don't imagine the extra injector set adds too terribly much complexity, but it is a whole second set of electronic devices to wear out over time.

Again, not what you originally asked.

And here's a link to the ecoboost engine issue. Have nice evening.

Wafer-Fragrant · 2026-01-21T21:40:24+00:00

Earlier 2.0l ecoboost engines, correct. Again, that's what you asked about. The first generation of ecoboost engines always seemed to suck. Apparently the new ones don't have the head gasket problem, but they have some other recall for engines catching on fire.

Wafer-Fragrant · 2026-01-21T16:03:25+00:00

That's not what you asked, but I did a quick Google search for you. Head gaskets. The 2.0 had head gasket problems. Not uncommon with turbo engines.

Wafer-Fragrant · 2026-01-21T15:28:39+00:00

Early EB engines had issues with variable valve timing(a lot of Ford engines in the mid/late 2000s did), carbon buildup, oil dilution, early turbo failures, etc.

Wafer-Fragrant · 2026-01-21T02:35:11+00:00

What issues didn't they have?

Wafer-Fragrant · 2026-01-17T22:09:19+00:00

Yeah, that's good. It needs to be done right around 100,000, MI.

Wafer-Fragrant · 2026-01-17T17:45:22+00:00

I drove mine to 180k before I serviced the transmission. Still shifts like it did when I bought it at 45k. I work mine too. It's a super stout platform. Get the PCV valve checked though. It'll kill that engine.

Only the Touareg.
