In defense of “well why didn’t they test drive it?” it’s quite possible to get a decent feel for a car without having driven it in this day and age. My car required something of a leap of faith since I’d only read about it, watched videos of it, seen them on the street, and owned the base model. Oh wait, that’s not a…

I was hesitant to click on this for that exact reason. That being said, my Abarth has zero recalls versus four or five on my husband’s Focus ST, so I guess it’s reasonably non-crap.

That’s a lady I’m proud to share the scorpion badge with.

Having worked in a college town liquor store, can confirm. Kegs were still popular, but cases of cheap cans were even moreso.

Funny story. My husband and some other kids were at a house party as teenagers. When the cops came the only Mormon kid there was sitting on the porch and being totally sober, played it as just a clean gathering of friends and saved everybody.

Hey man, some people juggle geese.

I quite enjoyed the Soviet history “rap” and now I’m trying to think up good hip hop names for other USSR leaders.

First you gotta make the truck. I don’t think Hyundai has one

I find it astonishing when grown men don’t know how to tie a tie. I mean c’mon, I’m a female and even I know how to do it. I learned because I did this thing called “googling it.”

That’s Keith Moon drunk.

Why would the workers be sad? Essentially they get a paid Christmas break. Depending on school schedules, it could even save some families money on daycare costs.

This really is quite silly from a GIS perspective. It would be mildly time consuming, but it’s not like it’s hard to mark rail crossings on a map. Quite apart from the lack of situational awareness on the part of the driver, it’s mildly surprising that companies are dragging their feet on this.

Springs are one of those things I don’t touch. Too much opportunity for disaster. I went to a trusted shop when I got lowered.

Harbor Freight is excellent for disposable hardware type things. Few things warm the cockles of my heart quite like a 10-pack of electrical tape for $4. Alas my car is not disposable. While it is held together with a healthy amount of electrical tape, I want the components overall to be more than HF quality.

Yep, putting a scorpion on anything makes it better.

Last summer I was at a hill climb and a little green MGB GT was in the line up just before me. So much fun watching that thing take off time and again! Tragically, it ended up on it’s roof the second day.

Exceedingly few people just walk in and pay sticker though, cars have to be priced with a little wiggle room since they are negotiable. I’d do a 4C at that price all day though. I am exactly the kind of lunatic that would go with that car

I thought you meant burning it, was like “well that’s a bit harsh, they’re only children”

Actually, if you hum it to the right time, the jump is in time with Dance of The Sugar Plum Faeries!
