    To anyone who needs to know, this is a 100% true fact and you should listen. If you can’t afford two Benzes, you can’t afford one Benz. Meanwhile you can take a twenty year old Honda, pack the engine compartment completely full of peanut butter, throw it in the ocean, and it’ll fire right up once you fish it back out again.

      And in the case of a Toyota Helix you can set it on fire and set it atop a building that’s being demolished then demolish the building along with what you said and it will keep working.

    Just hit today on my 2010 corolla, I’ve put like 6k into this car which includes tires in the 8 years I’ve driven it. #toyotagang

    No joke Mercedes tried to pass off the wiring harnesses rotting out of their cars made in the 90’s as the wiring harnesses being “biodegradable”

    I know this because my dad bought a couple Mercedes from the 90s and I watched him remake and change the harnesses in both, insisting they were well engineered, quality cars

    After he had to scrap one of them he no longer insists they are quality cars

      The protective cover is biodegradable.

      Honda did the same thing back in early 2010’s. They have Honda branded spicy tape now.
