Like I said, I don’t chase red herrings. If you derail, I’m not going to follow. Thanks again for playing. Cheers.

Do you even have a job?

I can’t be the only one that read that as “fuck to the gear you want”.

Nice try, but like a lot of suckers, you’ve fallen for the “money is the most important thing in a society” line, and I’m not playing that game. Try living in the real world for a bit, and I’ll get back to you. Cheers.

I don’t waste time going after red herrings, thus just made an observation. Cheers.

Good read. As well, you find nutjobs just generally love having sock puppet accounts. I noticed this years ago in comments on yahoo news stories, when I accidentally tripped up a homophobic biggot into continuing one line of hate-reasoning, under a puppet account he was using to state a different line of…

Well, it didn’t take long for the A.V. Club to go straight into the shitter after getting on this site. Mission accomplished.

This is laughably naive stuff here.

You win the award for most out of touch comment I’ve read today. Have you ever lived in reality?

Wait, what’s hoonigan?

You have to realize that in the 60s, nobody else was doing this. Car ads were all hard-sell, trading on styling and horsepower numbers. VW’s approach of talking about boring stuff and why it was like that, was pretty much unheard of then, but it became widely copied later.

Did the ‘67 have dual circuit brakes? I thought that started in ‘68.

ok...???

Not necessarily.

That’s a matter of legality, if witnesses saw him get in the car and drive it away, then as a practical matter, he stole the car. Just because no jury has ever convicted you of farting in bed, doesn’t mean you haven’t actually done it.

Dumb question, but is One Mississipi funny?

If they had any brains, they’re just turn the ignition off. Unless the Lada has a freehwheel like an old saab, and then this happens:

When I made my cross-country trip by Subaru 360, the engine kept intermittently running like crap. The car would sometimes accelerate normally (which is to say very slowly) but sometimes it would accelerate very slowly (which is to say very, very, very, very, very, very, slowly) and then top out at around 50mph.

Hey write whatever you want to about other people being shallow, so long as you get that paycheck for it.

If the driver was intoxicated (as is often the case with hit and runs) the plate wouldn’t prove that. The police would need to get him before he sobers up then comes back with some lame excuse for leaving like he was “scared” or just left to “find help”.
