Autism and Employment (another PennSilverTaco thread)!

Quebec is hell for vehicles, rust box central.

 

Any idea why the vehicles I've driven have a metric speedometer but a USA-spec odometer?

 

Excellent group, the Kings of Rock

 

Yes, always.

 

So the odometer isn’t in kilometers in your truck?

 

I drove a Chevy Tahoe with a factory Bose system on Tuesday, and it sounded good, but like so many factory stereos I’ve experienced it lacks the power of my aftermarket stereo…

 

@ABA180

I don’t know if the Nissan Kicks is available with a Bose stereo, but this one that I drove on Wednesday definitely doesn’t have Bose; it sounded okay in my opinion, but like many factory stereos I’ve experienced, it can be operated at max volume without hurting my ears…

 

The one in the Rav4 (non JBL) can't get close to max without sound quality going to shit. UGH1

 

The Chrysler Pacifica has a decent sound system…

 

My mechanic ended up having to keep the truck an extra day, so I used my 50% employee discount to rent a Kia Soul yesterday…

 

@ABA180

The Kia Soul also has a decent factory stereo!

 

Ahh, from the soundtrack to Reality Bites..loved that flick

My friend has a 2012 Soul..decent system. Not like ours but...

 

Were the cars from Quebec rusted to shit?

 

I assume these new vehicles with the digital dashes have the option to switch them. We have a ~2015 Chrysler 200 at work and when you start it, it pops up with a message that says "press ok to switch to mph" or something like that.

 

They were 2022-2024 models, so I think they were too new to be rusted…

 

I drove a Mercedes CLA250 on Friday, and it had the standard (not Bose or Burmester) stereo, and it had absolutely no balls…

 

I got to drive a Porsche Macan on Saturday…

 

I normally don’t work on Sundays, but I picked up a couple extra hours before church this morning, and ended up washing the Porsche; I pulled it into the bay at about noon on Saturday, and it was waiting for me this morning…
