One of the most epic comments I’ve ever seen.

I sell all the motorcycles to buy tools and project cars. Because I don’t know how to ride a motorcycle.

My colleague Jason Torchinsky was experiencing the same thing for a while. He decided to inquire and see if they can offer coverage for his classic VW Beetle. That seemed to stop the calls for a bit.

I remember some time ago when I swore that I would never use critical Harbor Freight-brand tools that my life literally depended on. Citing jack stands as the prime example.

Since it’s my BIL, I’ll respond here.

Rambo Lambo!

So true. I married his sister. I still sometimes have somewhat of a hard time believing that she’s related to him, or her own parents for that matter because of things like this. It’s great proof that having a proper support network of education and guidance in a public school can absolutely benefit a child in spite…

Nope. But keep in mind we’re talking about a man who installed a stereo system in his kitchen by cutting a 2"x7" hole in his pantry wall next to the door to slide in an old discarded, 15+ year old single DIN radio. Then inside of the pantry put in a shelf to hold both the radio, and a bench power supply to convert AC…

Well, yeah, I am an asshole, but not because of this.

Dude, I can totally imagine the asinine complaints you’ve seen. You could tell me that a customer demands a brand-new engine because the cup holders are haunted, and I wouldn’t be surprised.

In all honesty, there are a whole lot of assumptions going on here. So let’s clear some stuff up.

HA! That reminds me of the Ford dealership I bought a new car from, and then my brother in-law bought a truck from. Night and day difference in experiences for us both. I never had a problem with the service department, and yet he’d always have issues with delays, and getting treated like dirt. As I told him, next…

I honestly wouldn’t call it resilience, as much as I would call it desperation given the scale of his schemes as time passed.

I can’t fucking stand Malcolm Bricklin for multiple reasons. If anyone wants to really learn just how sleazy that cocksucker is, I highly advise you to read this book:

Yep. I’ve had the same experience selling a car off CL. Never again.

I don’t know the specifics of what was going on behind the scenes, but it’s a possibility that they were trying to do “yo-yo financing” on you.

Start with Dune. That’s the first book, and it will give you a good start with the familiarity of the characters from the movie. Then I would go on to read the 5 sequels in the order the Frank Herbert wrote them.

Fair enough. So let us have some clarification here. I am not stating specifically that Iraq and the subsequent conflicts in that particular nation are the exact influence for Dune.

All 9 Star Wars movies are essentially the equivalency of a couple episodes of “Keeping up with the Kardashians” when compared to Dune.

My barrier to acceptance is unchecked consumerism. Criticizing the current sales system of EVs doesn’t mean I am automatically opposed to EVs themselves.
