Kia/Hyundai make some good cars and some shit cars. If you get one of the shit cars you are on your own.

The Kia Boys mess was caused by Kia trying to safe a few bucks by not putting immobilizers in some cars to save a few bucks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kia_Challenge

Kia/Hyundai also sold lots of cars the had their engines die due to manufacturing defects. They recalled some cars with the engine and not others. There was at least one class action settlement.

My wife bought 2016 Kia Soul new from the dealer. It was the highest trim level so it had an immobilizer but it had one of their troubled engines. When the engine threw a rod (that is bad) the engine was still under warranty at 60k miles only because she bought the car new. I was at the dealer and overheard another person with the Soul and a bad engine. He was out of luck because the car had over 50k miles and he was not the original owner. The Kia drivetrain warranty was good up to 100k if you were the original owner but only 50k if you were not.

You owe me the time it took to watch that.

In this case, the definition of a narcotic is in the eye of the lawmaker. In 1970 Nixon said cannabis was one of the worst drugs and got it placed among Schedule 1 drugs. Somehow it has remained that way for 55 years.

I totally agree cannabis and some other so called "drugs" have medicinal uses.

In normal times this would never come up but these are not normal times.

Took a bong rip before reading this. At first was like "I got dozens of stories to tell" but realized you were talking about the movie.

Cocaine destroys whatever makes the hairs and a lot of stuff in the sinuses. That's what I heard.

This reply thread just made my Gen X head explode.

I didn't see the reboots for Top Gun or Twister.

As per the DEA, "Marijuana is a Schedule I drug with no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse."

According to federal law it is.
