Frank Osborne+FollowToyota’s Transmission Trouble?Turns out even Toyota’s reputation for reliability isn’t bulletproof.

The kicker? This could tank resale values, and there’s still no official recall. Would you risk buying one? #Cars #CarOwnership #Toyota20Share

stephenolson+FollowYou Can’t DIY a Bugatti HypercarApparently, you can’t just 3D-print a Bugatti part and call it a day—even if a YouTuber says so. Bugatti’s CEO, Mate Rimac, jumped in to set the record straight: yes, some parts are 3D-printed, but it’s a whole science project, not a home hack. Also, those wild $150k headlight rumors? Try $25k (still wild, but less so). Basically, if you can afford a $2M car, you’re not looking for shortcuts! #Cars #CarOwnership #Bugatti00Share

It’s all about that French factory life—think high-tech robots, a massive workforce, and those pesky import tariffs. The Grenadier’s built tough with BMW engines and a mix of steel and aluminum, but unless they start making them in the U.S., expect that luxury price tag to stick around. Would you pay $71K+ for a hardcore off-roader? #Cars #CarOwnership #IneosGrenadier02Share
