Might be getting a Fiat 600, dark red for my birthday. I asked the owner for the price and it's $30k Ars. :D

what is the conversion rate? in usd that's like the price of a brand new ford explorer lol


jesus christ. what did argentina do for that to happen?

The conversion rate is horrible. It's approx 12 cents per 1 Argentine Peso. So, 30k ~= $4k.

Get debts, print money to pay debts, keep printing $100 bills instead of $200 and $500 bills.


my parents have had their jetta for over 2 weeks or so now (looks exactly like this one ^) and i love it so far.
upsides:
1. REALLY comfortable inside
2. Nice interior layout
3. REALLY good transmisson (DSG)
4. Nicely executed engine, has a nice sound to it.
downsides:
1. Sometimes the transmission will kinda screw up, and the engine gets a bit growly, but then goes back to normal.
2. Windshield wipers leave a mark on the windshield

been working on a my Ford Explorer Sport Trac recently and there's a weird ass problem;

the read window that faces out towards the bed, not a door window, came down but it wont go back up.  it gets maybe 30% of the way (struggling doing so), and then bounce backs.  theres nothing in the track and it doesnt sound like the motor is binding because ive tried to push it up about a hundred times and if the motor was binding it wouldve stuff out by now.

gonna rip out the back panel tomorrow and see if maybe somethings jammed or built up in the window track down by the motor.  forget ford for making getting to this motor extremely hard.


why not just take it to the dealership you got it from...? or if that isn't an option, any other garage?

Doing it yourself is much more cost efficient.

Look at this guy, letting other people work on his car.

its at most just a simple window motor, then i have to initialize it, id rather pay for the motor which is $120 and do it myself rather than have the only garage near me take $84 just to diagnose the problem after ive already told them the problem, order the same part for $200, and then charge be $200 more in labor
