And bonus

Oh... if you insist

Ok, how many? ‘It’s pretty bad.’”

The same thing, sadly, exists in industrial equipment. Want a shiny new DAQ for some project? Well buckle up! You need to find the regional rep from the manufacturer’s website, call them, find out they don’t carry it and don’t know a price, send in an RFQ, wait, get follow up phone calls every week (even though they…

This! My personal fleet had five cars in it (four now) and coworkers would frequently ask about choosing which one to drive. Never made sense to me. Are you shocked people don’t have trouble picking out shoes in the morning? As you said, it is determined by what you’re doing that day, the weather, and what you feel…

Any car project I’ve ever started.

For sure. “We made almost a thousand pounds!”

That is why I love(d) Wheeler Dealers

Reminds me of a 90's Dilbert.

I followed CR’s recommendations for years, mostly with basic stuff (toasters, phones, etc) but there were problems. The stuff I did buy was usually crap, but more often than not they’d tested old versions of the stuff and the specific models featured were NLA.

Right? Last time I was in for an oil change and they “just needed to wash it” before it was ready I was like “Nah, I’ll rub the dirt into the paint myself when I get home, give me the keys.”

Wait... you’re saying there is a GOOD VW dealer somewhere in the states? I... my whole world view is shaken! [Not sarcasm]

But... it is the wrong color! Polestars have to be Rebel Blue Swedish Racing Green! I think they have a law about it over there!

I think he sold one, once.

Came here to post this. Good on the road, good off the road.

Running too lean will also cause you to run hot, fyi. I’m not sure if the “How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive” book covers Type 4s, but if it does you need to buy one. (And even if not, they’re great!)

You know, I’ve always wondered about this! What does happen if you wipe out a $1M car but only have $300k in insurance? I know the other guys insurance will make him whole, but I assume his insurance will then try and beat the money out of me. I feel as if there should be limits to reasonable liability...

Don’t they bash themselves?

Is it just me or do some of these look... better?

Oh man... this hits a little close to home. It is also the reason I’ve vowed never to have more than one non-running car in my possession at once.
