The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

If your engine blows in a normal car at that mileage, replacing the engine will cost several times the car's value as well. In either case, it's time to replace it with someting new(er) anyway.
Engine for my car is 300 euros used. Transmission 150-1000 depending on warranty level. This car model itself goes for 1500-6000 depending on condition. This is a nearly 20 year old car with 400k km on it. But why would the engine blow? I change oil regularly and these things do much higher mileages than my paltry 400k km. The actual most expensive thing is if I have to replace a set of injectors.
I’ve had exactly one engine blow on me over me years, it was a Chrysler with the SOHC V6. Terrible engine by a terrible company. Almost every car I’ve had since then has been German with high mileage and not a single time have I had any engine issues.
