The auction platform calls them barn finds, but doesn’t state the exact location or who the seller is.

I think the one that I remember the most is a Melbourne newspaper running “Jeep: Don’t hold back” ads right over the top of an article about a dude deliberately driving a 4x4 into a crowd.

Wahey, I’m in Brisbane too. And yeah, it’s not entirely the people, the design of roads down there seems...odd and careless at times, to say the least. It’s not to say many of the drivers aren’t mad as march hares too, but you can hardly fault them for being driven mad, at times.

I mean, you’d THINK so, but one short drive in Sydney will quickly disabuse you of that notion.

Yeah, even after you account for shit like currency conversion, we’ve got a bunch of import tariffs and so on(Which of course are always passed on to the consumer) that make buying a new care pretty exxy.

Sure, I’ll just file that with all the other career advice I get from weird nerds with an alarmingly passionate parasocial relationship with a billionare who will never know or care you exist.

To be clear, that’s in the trash and forgotten.

And worse, it’s boring, this isn’t remotely as hilarious as half the insane…

Mate, with his track record, if Elon said the sky was blue, I’d insist on double-checking.
Still, thanks for the extra information, and especially for being chill about the whole thing. Some real fucking psychos in the comments today, so I figure it’s worth giving you some extra appreciation for not being one of them.…

Yeah, I’m familiar. And one would hope so, I’ve been a journalist for more than a decade now, though obviously I don’t exactly advertise it on Jalop in every comment.

Of course, I’m familiar with the second rule, too - Read Carefully before speaking. Like, for example, where someone says “I could see this happening”,…

Yep. As I recall from books about the company history, because he kept forcing big changes to the tech stack against the strong reccomendations of the engineering team, and then stonewalled them from talking to anyone else when they tried to raise it. They went to the board with their concerns and evidence when he…

Honestly? Despite Musk’s denial, I can see it happening. Let’s face it, he’s a massive egotist, who would almost certainly believe he deserved that kind of concession, and it’s the kind of big, flashy move that he loves. Also, it’s how his previous big corporate merger(Confinity and X.com) worked, where he gave the…

Oh shit, that’s cool! I’ll have to look into that, thanks!

A smart - and honestly, probably safer - solution! I do keep a couple towels in the boot, in the fuck’s sake kit*, I might move them to the cabin and give it a shot.

*- Not quite an emergency kit, but some handy things for just the small, dumb stuff that you can get caught up in sometimes, and make you say “Oh for…

Oh, I had one. Half of my problem was that, more than anything else, I’m kind of a dumbass and I would frequently forget to put it up.

I had one of those for approximately a week - and worse, it was anodized black - before I swapped it out for a leather one. Just about burnt my hand to blistering on the bastard thing.

I’d pay for the reverse, a cooled steering wheel. I live in Australia, and no shit, I used to keep an oven glove in the car for hot summer days, just in case I had to park in the sun.

The man who desperately wanted me to say the Tesla Model Y was the “greatest car in the world,” something a lightly intoxicated eight-year-old might demand to hear as well, doesn’t even drive a Tesla. Amazing.

I mean, maybe I’m just being dumb and not really seeing something, but “20K in debt from buying equipment to stream” does not exactly scream “Future of streaming” so much as “Some rich assholes might get a new hobby in a few years.”

Sorry, kinda forgot about you until a different notification reminded me. Kinja conversations just don’t really rank high on the list of priorities at the best of times, and buddy, you’re a long way from that. At least you’re not awful enough to be memorable, point in your favor.

Friend, I’m not the therapist you desperately need. Stop saying things to me when you’re clearly just talking about yourself. Introspection is valuable, just stop involving me in yours, it’s weird.

Honestly, I just like having the choice of how to engage with the content. Sometimes, I want to play the online mode with other people, sometimes I’m just out to have some solo fun in the same game. If the one game gives me both options, the more likely it is I’ll choose to play that over something with enforced…
