2008 Changes - Specifically Motor Mounts

[Hikaru9]

The motor mount issues has been beaten to death. I don't even think the Pinto had this much press and that car blew up!

... and you're still in one piece! =P

(what's a Pinto anyway? )

The Pinot was...

A Ford two door hatch from the 70's that would blow-up/catch on fire when rear-ended. There was an issue with the gas tank. It was well publicized.

Did you REALLY just ask that? Where you serious??????? In my opinion the motor mount issue needs to be beaten to death. I have yet to see it even mentioned in the press, and thats pretty much the only publicity that matters. A bunch of tools bitching on a message board is a common place occurrence and expected.

Of course, I'm a very serious person even if my apperance may suggest otherwise. I don't recall seeing them (Pinto?) in Asia when I was little, so that's my excuse for the ignorance. *^_^*

Ahah! Azn Syndrome! heheh Yeah really though, Ford engineered them and knew that this would happen (fires from rear collission and the doors would jam locking people in the car) and just didn't really care. It was kinda like the Mustang II's lame cousin at the time. Gas crisis car. Now a days, people toss bad ass small blocks in em like they did the old Chevy Vega's and drag race em. They're good at that.

Here's a quick wiki recap on em.

You bet! I thought my nick and my second nature usage of the smilies would have been a dead giveaway. *^_^*

Pinto sounds like a neat car... if I were suicidal. -_-;;

Thats what made it fun!!! That said, I knew you were of Asian decent, just didn't pick up on the fact that you lived there for some time. I was just bustin your balls, lol

1/2 of my life. It's fun to be able to insult someone subtly in two languages. Not that I'd do that since I'm a friendly guy. ^_^;;

I will need those b _ _ _ s for my children, btw.
