menstrualpad:I use Golf 3. I'll buy another one if I have the means. If you have a good car but a bad mechanic, he will frustrate you to sell off. I have seen a mechanic frustrate a car owner to sell off and the buyer got a good mechanic and he started enjoying the car to the envy of the man who sold the car to him. 3 Likes |

Toyota trucks are notorious for suffering major steering failure without warning. The Toyota 4 Runner is a notable example. I have seen a year 2004 Toyota 4Runner suffer multiple, sequential steering ball-joint failures that typically caused one of the front wheels to snap free, and turn sharply against the direction of travel, reducing the driver to the status of a hapless passenger in the blink of an eye. I owned a Toyota 4WD pickup truck once, and experienced THREE steering failures that required a mechanic to remove the vehicle later. Those failures luckily happened at slow speeds, but such random luck is never guaranteed. In other words, fate does not like to be tempted too often. When major steering failure occurs at highway speeds, vehicles can get airborne, and execute spectacular cart-wheels, spewing their occupants in the process, so, to reduce your chances of being one of such airborne passengers, do not buy, or travel aboard, a Toyota truck of any description. 4 Likes |

Watermelonman: Yes indeed, the Hilux Toyota pickup trucks are based on that same failure-prone ball-joint steering design, though I cannot say for sure whether the problem was ever rectified, and if so, what year that flawed steering design was discontinued in favor of a safer construction. |

luxy44: I partly disagree. One thing education delivers is the respect for knowledge even if the bearer is of a lower social status. Observe I said respect for knowledge because all the mental resources of the world are not domiciled with the dedicated alone. Some of the great advancements in history have been made by uneducated but knowledgeable folks who were just inspired to do things. 9 Likes 1 Share |
