    I don't hate it, but its got the same problem the F150 does, nice looking body, god-awful front end.

    I personally like the aluminum body, but I know at least 5 people who say they will never own a Ford truck again since they went Aluminum, saying its just not strong enough, and they don't want to deal with the corrosion.


    I find that kind of idiotic, but who am I to try and swap people's minds.

    I too find that idiotic.
    Who gives a rats arse if a company starts using a different kind of material to make its vehicles. As long as it isn't plastic, Im happy with it.

    Fiat Grande Punto broke down..

    Normal bevaviour: As soon you turn off the engine, everything in the car turns off.

    But no, out of nothing mine decided to keep the position lights on. Didn't notice it.
    Came back after 1 day and car didn't want to open with the remote.. Ok, just use key.
    But I can't turn off alarm. Ok what the heck.
    Display on car is off, no signs.
    Car doesn't even start.
    Battery dead, great.

    Had to call a mechanic and took the car there to get this checked up. Meanwhile, while taking it there, weird lights turned on in the dashboard, like the Passenger Airbar... :|
    CPU bork?

    Anyway, left the car there, getting the driver side window fixed aswell (The chain of the electric thing broke apparently, cheap fiat plastic..) and getting the Radio mounted from him aswell as it requires some extra electric work (Because damn Fiats has a non-ordinary cablage for original radios, making it a pain in the bum if you want to change it).

    And this is what an ordinary day for a Fiat owner sounds like.

    Sounds like your car has come down with a case of Italian.

    I did put out the original radio to try out the aftermarket one I purchased, but then put back the original one. I didn't modify any cable, just unplugged/plugged them exactly as they were.
    I told the mechanic to check the electronics aswell, as random errors were frequent on this car (Servo Steering, Airbag, etc..) :|

    Trying to find a job to purchase a DD aint really easy.
    I wish I could fix muh Lolvo but then again I need money to do that.
    On another note, the driver side rearview mirror of my brother's Kangoo got fucked because of some dude picking his nose in his Clio... Really glad I'm gonna have to pay the repairs.

    I don't think the Camry is a thing in Europe, or at least I've never seen one in my life. In Italy the closest you can get is probably a Corolla.

    This accurately depicts how many dashcam owners act.

    I own a dashcam for the safety of myself and other road users, not to prosecute others for making small mistakes.

    The dashcamers that act like that are always the ones with the least subscribers, ones like "Halomastermind117" & "Bad Drivers Of SoCal" are the best
