This is discrimination against piston-engine plane owners. And where do turboprops fit into this plan? If I just want to take my dinghy (a King Air 360) out for a spin, hanging out with the poors, as it were, why can’t I get the same protection as if I’m flying my G700? And if you can still track my housekeeper when…

But less of the donuts, generally

The driver was uninformed that you shouldn’t drive their car thru the side of a building, obv. OMG, I just used the term, “obv.” I feel 40 years younger, instantly.

Except they don’t know the Latin root of “cum.”  They’d use it anyway if they heard it somewhere.

I worked in the office for a dump truck company in FL. Our drivers didn’t get paid for the drive from the yard to the quarry or wherever while empty. Likewise, the trip back from the job to the yard was unpaid. Trips between jobsite and quarry, asphalt plant, etc were paid. Nobody batted an eyelash at this, but I…

I would expect a 10mm hex key to be a pretty standard toolbox item for modern vehicle service. And by “modern” I mean beginning with my experience with Fiats from the 70's.

I’ma sign up for a hundred kinja ID’s so I can keep starring this.  BRB.

Mis-spelled. It’s “LUV,” as in Chevy.   Ronnie drives a rugged, manly truck.

I like these a lot (have only experienced them from a distance). It’s in beautiful shape and the colors aren’t bad. (Maybe not so much, now that I I think about it. Would prefer any dark single-color paint. The gold is better than 2-tone or white or a bright color.) Would it be cheaper to get it up to snuff than to buy…

If you mounted the Truck Nutz to your wheels, please re-read the instructions.  /J

I’ve had one truck stuck in damp grass (right near the hardpack where the mail carrier drives up to the box) with passenger tread tires, and one damn near stuck in damp grass (my own side yard) with highway tread. AT all the way.

Yeah, they coulda totally launched it off the carrier!  Assuming the carrier’s launchers were maintained in operating condition...

I have no interest whatsoever in this car, and that goes double for the automatic trans, but NP for somebody.

OP calls out the ‘55 Thunderbird with “just the hint of fins.” Jalop posts a ‘57 Thunderbird pic...

I can see doing a show like Chopped, or The Voice (assuming I had talent, which I don’t). If I was a 20-something hottie (which I never was), NO FUCKING WAY would I do The Batchelor or one of those other things. Maybe 20 years ago we had no idea how people would be portrayed on those shows, but now we know. How often…

I worked for an engineering company that did quality testing for VAG, which included driving production, preproduction and camouflaged cars around, testing, reporting and analyzing any concerns.  This was a little before my time there, but I’m told when onlookers asked about the A5, the driver would tell them it was a…

Bullets are cheaper.

What is wrong with Rory and Collin? They made perfectly appropriate suggestions for the OP’s needs.  That’s Tom’s job!

I considered an STi in 2018. I bought a GTI (manual). If there was an STi hatch or wagon, my purchase decision may have been different. My decisions don’t matter to carmakers, though, as the GTI was my first-ever new car at 51 years old, and the next time I need to consider a new car, everything will be electric and…

I gave it NP because it’s a B.
