    If you bought a cheap Korean car for misers you deserve to have it stolen and you deserve to find metal shavings at the bottom of your oil pan when the cops get it back for you.

      Note that this only affects the US. Hyundai and Kia are fuckin excellent cars in Europe, it’s just that they can get away with selling any old shite in the states due to the lack of consumer protection and the fact that them daft cunts will buy shit like TVs with advertising built in and internet that costs $100 a month lol

        How’s that GDI doing? lol

        lack of consumer protection

        Kia was the only group doing this lol everyone else has had immobilizers since dinosaur times

        the solution here is to just buy ANYTHING ELSE
