    Yes, yes you did.

    On AWD: You guys know about stability control as well right?

    How about electronic brake force distribution?

    Auto leveling and turning headlights?

    Door window open and closed position calibrations?

    Idle speed adaptations?

    How poorly the CAN bus reacts to nodes putting out junk data?

    How the V6 only became a commonplace because of the 70s?

    How electronic throttle bodies wear out because they use carbon traces and wipers instead of optical encoders for positional data?

    How it seems many automatic transmissions have valve body issues, regardless of who designed or built it?

    How easy it is to hack into a car with Wifi, and take control of the CAN bus, and thus everything from the door locks, windows, engine, transmission, any light bulb etc?

    Cars in general have too short a lifespan because consumers want the latest gadgets all the time.

    IK Chrysler was using Dexcool but I thought ford was using the yellow ****. IK other manufacturers have their versions of 5-year coolant
