i much preferred decals to stance.

Connections with federal authorities would help explain his casual suggestion of getting parts overnighted from Japan like it’s no big deal.

Fast 9: Jesse somehow didn’t die and has been working behind the scenes as an even more secretive and elite CIA agent to help the crew.

1) This has nothing to do with Trump, so your judgement is already suspect.

As much as I hate Trump, this has nothing to do with Trump. And why leave your tools there? Your tools are YOUR responsibility.

Having grown up in a state mostly devoid of unions (Louisiana), the whole union mentality is always strange to me.

If you’re an asshole, don’t be surprised if you get knocked the fuck out. It’s called real life.

I’ll do it. Bicyclists in the US refuse to follow the laws the road so it’s clearly a law of averages that eventually this sort of thing happens (albeit if this time it was Canada). I almost took out a biker with my car last week who decided he could blow through an intersection when he had a red light, then make an…

If you are in a jam and really need a car, go to craigslist, set max price to whatever you have in savings, and search “Honda” and be done with it.

$4000 buys you a very decent old car in cash to get you through for a while. Sucks for the dude, but come on. This is just as much on the buyer as anyone else. People need to get over their desire for non-basic transportation. Sure it’s nice to have nice stuff but we can’t always have that. Sometimes you need to…

4,000 will buy you a perfectly suitable used commuter car. You don’t need a big fancy truck when your trying to get back on your feet. Sounds like the cycle just repeats itself.

If you can’t afford it, don’t buy new. I mean, I get all this subprime stuff is wrong and a red flag for the economy of the US. But seriously?

Counterpoint: if it’s raining hard enough to turn on your wipers, sure would be nice if I could also see you/your lights. I don’t think this is a stupid law at all. Lack of enforcement, perhaps, is stupid.

Well, every other sport is separated by gender. So there’s that.

*If* it had come with a modern 4cyl engine it would be an automatic NP. But to pay $9k *first*, and then source a donor engine/car and do the swap? CP. At that point you may as well just buy a kit and do the work yourself...

“Basically turnkey” is the automotive equivalent of “more or less pregnant.”

OES (Original Equipment Supply - The dealer) is the only source of parts that pass OEM specifications. Period.

Including OEM... Half the parts in any car, domestic or imported, are made in China or elsewhere. That cheap Chinese part could very well be an OEM part that an employee squirrelled out of the factory to sell.

The issue is, so many car parts are made in China! Even the ones you buy from your local parts store. I know it’s tempting to say “Chinese = bad,” but it’d be nice to have MORE DATA.
