 Unreadable in the dashcam shot, but the plate frame on the Malibu: "CAUTION: I DRIVE LIKE YOU" I don't think the guy in the pickup got that warning.

Is the rear suspension/alignment hosed up on the Malibu, too? It might just be the angle from the tow, but it looks like it has a ton of toe-in. On a related note I generally don't trust the driving abilities of people with stupid aftermarket taillights.

I think that's lens distortion from the dashcam, the rear suspension seemed fine enough. It still had its hazards on and that tow truck company gets a lot of the police-called tows.

It doesn't make sense to me other than owner neglect though..isn't the Vue's V6 a Honda J35?

I misspoke, mine was a 2004 that I bought in 2007 with ~36k on it and sold it 2.5 years later around 90k. In that time it ate the alternator, torque converter, a fuel pump at least 2 wheel bearings, rear wiper motor that I never bothered fixing, something in the power mirror system that I never bothered fixing, power steering pump, 2 sets of front balljoints (though I contribute a lot of that to the lovely roads here), and had a host of various electrical issues that I fixed along the way. I also had to go to the dealer twice to have the tcm flashed twice (free due to a TSB) due to it not shifting properly. Engine ran great the whole time, it was just everything else, and I'm sure I have forgotten some things. Granted, we are talking about that stuff over 54k miles. Maybe I'm just bitter but that seems like a lot of poo poo breaking. Look at google, there are people that had a worse experience with the Vue than I did, so I am a bit thankful there.

FogHelmut posted:This is terrible. May also be a horrible mechanical failure. The regular Vue isn't exactly the pinnacle of reliability either - GM experimented with CVTs and their early 5 and 6 speed automatics on them (both Aisin and GM/Ford derived). The only ones I'd consider reliable are the 4 cylinder/manual transmission versions, and only because they essentially dropped a Cobalt/Ion/etc drivetrain in with a shorter final drive ratio. The Aisin transaxles were solid, but since they behaved so differently from what a GM owner expected, they got yanked off the market pretty quick (they were also used in the Ion sedan from 03-04, while the 03-04 Ion coupe got the infamous CVT - both Ions went to the traditional GM 4 speed auto from 05-07). The earlier 1st gen V6 Vues actually had a Honda drivetrain.  And of course, that era of Honda automatics wasn't known for being solid, but the engines were bulletproof.Really the Vue was all about penny pinching (even moreso than typical GM), and GM also used it as a test bed for transmissions.

I don't know how he didn't get booted. The divebomb at 4:52 Traction control saving the loving poo poo out of him at 5:08 while being completely red misted The complete clusterfuck at 6:00 into "Eat a loving dick you little bitch" The horn at 6:45 as the 911 passes him on the outside Divebomb at 6:50 Traction control saves him completely at 14:50 Obviously never driven a car with lower power judging by his complete lack of setting up passes in advance, also why he can't work past the Porsche with 100hp+ less (that, and he parks it in the corners then tries to square them off).

Like the aggro driver is actually paying attention to the instructor telling him which way to steer? Ueah I'm sure that'll help with his lovely lines. My favorite comment: "So who was the track day organizer for this? I want to know so I never go to one of their events." Oh poo poo and at 17:34 he's staring down slower cars as he passed them.

His run group was "AFE2", is that the supercar/exotic group where they put all the rich idiots on track at the same time? edit:// yes, aFe Power sponsored a run group and borrowed time from Speedventures. So this wasn't a SpeedVentures run group per se edit2:// meaning this wasn't even the supercar/exotic group, which didn't look like it ran that weekend anyway. It was just a sponsored group, which apparently didn't even have speedventures rules, so it was an open-passing, newbie-welcome, with-passengers session.
