I played through again two years ago and somehow, I found I still remembered a lot of these random points. Although there was one dungeon I ended up not finding - I think I found the 9th dungeon but not the 8th.

I went to a "dealer" (really more two Kazakhstani guys that bought totaled cars and did shoddy fix-up jobs on them and resold them) like this and actually bought a car. First went to look at a Focus wagon. Salvage title, they have pictures of the prior damage, whatever...it was filling the space of my beater so I'm…

Every year (especially every spring), a bunch of motorcycle riders, friends and family of motorcycle riders, etc, harp on motorists with these finger-wagging sentiments and "Look for motorcyclists!" and "Check again - there may be a motorcyclist around!" and blah blah blah, when in reality:

1) Yes, everyone should pay…

But heads up - look for motorcycles 12 times, every time! It's your duty as a motorist - you're evil if you don't revolve your driving around motorcycle awareness!

150k-200k per year is 150k-200k more than 0. There's plenty of people that will only buy American, and of those, there's plenty of people that will only buy X brand of American. Explains how Dodge sells cars.

Really, from what I can see, LS1s fit well enough that it seems viable. I was tempted for a second on the idea until I realized my DIY skills wouldn't quite do it for such a project.

Just remake the S15 and sell it over here and I'm happy.

Needs moar RX chassis + Mazda turbo 4 rotated the correct way + name that doesn't include "RX" so the remaining 12 rotary fanbois don't go nuts

But on Jalop, either "hoon" or "shooting brake" are required once every 10 words.

Rolling Rock is The Worst®.

I'm not against a salvage titled vehicle, but

1) This is still too much (most of my offers for my stock 2004 w/17k on it this summer were $20k, for comparison sake)

2) To me, some cars are fine to buy with a salvage title. Buying a go-kart where the whole point of the vehicle is how tight it drives....yeah, I probably…

Much woe. Copious amounts of woe. The level of the oil could be measured, but the woe could only be felt by all involved. (Me.)

Yeah, I think it was more the two supplied cardboard-ish crush gaskets if I remember. Which sounds weird as I say that (why two?) but I think I remember that being part of the confusion. It's kind of hazy since it was years ago but I think I remember them swearing by only using the supplied ones vs. a metal crush…

I mean, the way to do _______ the best is, you know...to just have that optimal balance....man, I should write a self-help book or something.

So basically, the best way to deal with people is to deal with people the best way, is what this is saying.

The one time I got a fumoto, I could never get the darn thing to stop leaking. Seemed like you had to sacrifice a goat to the gasket gods to get it on right from what I saw on forums, etc.

*cringes at the thought of dealership monkeys washing / detailing a car with the same scratchy, dirty sponges, rags, and towels they've been using all day*

Also, another example: tons of reports out there of Honda dealerships putting the "standard" smaller oil filter on an S2000 (when they call for a larger OEM filter) because they see so few S2000s and just want to get cars in and out.

Probably one of 3 oil changes I have had someone else do since I started doing them over 10 years ago was taking my new car in for it's first oil change (the dealership wanted to perform the first service & inspection). For warranty sake, I agreed provided I could bring in the oil. I brought in 5 qts of oil, I think…
