CSR 100 - Malicious Compliance

Full disclosure, I am actually a professional mechanic. I don’t know if this is cheating, but I have taken this lemon party (do NOT Google that) of a CSR to vent my opinions on car idiots. I mean in-jinn-eers. No, idiots sounds better.

I shall place any meta statements (what I shall politely call jokes) in italics, that means I have made a sarcastic reference to a real manufacturer. Now on to the advert:

New for 2008 PMC has partnered with Sanand motors of India to import the Parivahan. With the newly re designed Wyvern L3 with the now standard 17S09 tuning set, drivers get a brisk 118HP and 31.7 combined MPG under the VW-AG emissions protocol. Power is delivered more efficiently that ever with the ShiftPower double clutch manu-matic. Available with the smooth shifting 14M01 calibration, or the surprising acceleration of the 14M02 calibration there is a shift tuning for every driver. Ask your dealer for details.

OK, this is sounding too clunky. Seriously I feel like “Uncle Buddy” squeezing out puns. I’ll just meta the rest, it has the rear axle of an Windstar (NHTSA 10V385000), the brake calipers off an Impala (NHTSA 18V576), the cab of Subaru Ascent (NHTSA 18V-508), and the steering of a Santa Fe (NHTSA 18V118000). I could absolutely keep going, but I feel I made my point. New cars are inexcusably horrible. I am resisting the urge to break out my soap box, so in the interest of avoiding a tirade I will end here. Enjoy this shiny new death trap.

The 2008 (Imported for) PMC “Parivahan”


Parivahan, go places.
