US special forces broke this guy out of house arrest in Japan so he could move back to Lebanon.

This is an odd level of international intrigue!

He's Nissan's abusive ex

He did champion cheap EVs at Nissan, the only Japanese company to do that.

Aa they should. Their push for CVTs in the 2010s really soured me on their cars.

He looks like he was strapped to the hood of a Nissan which was driven so fast the wind pushed his features up and back. Guy's obviously had a facelift, but it was from someone much taller who thought his face was a barbell to curl. I've never heard him speak, but I have no doubt his every sentence begins with a small, high-pitched 'myehr' sound.

He got in prison for what he did at Nissan! Wtf?

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago

I think he forged some numbers on financials, was on bail or whatever they have for it, and paid some dudes to sneak him out, the dudes that helped got charged I think.

Hah! Is there an r/NissanDrivers equivalent in the Fediverse?

I had the misfortune to operate a new Frontier this past weekend. I have never experienced worse steering geometry. It had some kind of broken sonar system that just couldn't handle there being a trailer hooked up that was just insult to injury for how little input that "truck" gave the trailer in reverse. Oh, and then it could barely get up a short and mild incline with very little in that trailer. Absolute trash, just a completely incapable vehicle.
