    Oooh dang. AFAIK their engines are made in Japan which is odd that they’re unreliable.

    All the best in getting it sorted. Still under warranty I hope?

      Sadly no. It’s 6 years old. We got it second hand. So it’s gonna be expensive fucking it off.

          I mean, previous issue was electrical we believe. This one looks to be transmission. Nothing can be proven to be wrong with it though. So I’m wondering about the ethics of pissing it off. Strong suspect the previous owner knew it was a dog.

            When it comes to insurance companies, ethics can (and must) be put aside. I don’t condone anything illegal, but I never discourage ripping off big corporations.

              Not gonna lie, we dropped it off to the mechanic Saturday since we had our mother in law to look after baby, but we joked it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if it got nicked or burnt.

                    The type of people that would arrange such things are no longer in my circle of acquaintances. But they do exist. The key is that the car has to be involved in some other shit, not just be found burnt out. Like driving away from a servo and paying for fuel (CCTV evidence of it not being you is good). Maybe a getaway vehicle for shoplifting (no violence). Or something along those lines.

                    Or so I’ve heard in a bible study group.
