Dumbest.Fucking.People.Ever.

This could have been a much larger disaster...or way more interesting with a white t-shirt.

Make and model only. I don't care if the car company thinks it's fancy for having "FWD" or "AWD" or whatever. If more than 500 were made, it's not "Limited". Do not list the vehicle as "4WD" if I don't get to put it in 4 low and crawl through the back woods of my in-law's property in the mud-during a rainstorm at…

There should be a section on Jalopnik called "Dicks on bikes" and this could be the feature story.

"It is an environment that we — those who are privileged to have no history of brushes with the law — cannot fathom."

Of all the shit that went wrong with this situation, you chose to emphasize the twine on the battery hold down? The two least critical fuck ups are the two you chose to emphasize?

Ah...bummer.

a Scion xB with a Supra motor is the only acceptable form of a Scion xB, IMO.

If you are in this situation and you cannot fathom what might go wrong before the dually starts rolling-you deserve what you get.

All that being said: It's hilarious to watch-only because it happened to someone else-and I've watched it at least ten times. I laugh out loud every.single.time.

+1 for "Yo" :)

Flatbed for dramatic entrance. Not as noticeable if the dude just drove it in, right? Something comes in on a flatbed, people look because they're curious.

...because someone did a mediocre job indexing the splines?

You forgot:

I'm going to guess it's because they couldn't figure out how to hire people who knew what they wanted and/or how to get it...?

I agree wholeheartedly!

People with $600 cars and $5k wheels.

When my wife and I were looking to buy a house a couple of years ago, we walked through one that had Precious Moments figurines EVERYWHERE. There were five display cabinets of them in the living room.

I'm keeping my DD (08 Speed 3 GT) until it gives me a reason to sell. It's small fun and relatively maintenance-free. My wife's vehicle (10 CX-7 GT) will be around until she finally gets tired of putting gas in it. It gets 18MPG and she's not real happy about it now that she's doing it all the time. I'm hoping…

I find it hard to believe that there are still 700,000 people living in Detroit.

I was at a semi-local show and this car was present. Other than being obscenely large, I wasn't terribly impressed with it. There are way too many speakers on it (presumably to broadcast the engine sound) and it's very crudely finished.
