Instead of being racist or reverse racist, “Be more human” would be more appropriate.

You’re really missing out if you don’t get that trucoat!

GM small cars are like cockroaches. They might not be objectively good at anything. But they’ll keep on going about forever with basic maintenance unless they’re crashed, rust away, or someone/something messes with it.

My first new car was a blue 1993 Honda Civic. I bought the DX model, but I really wanted the top of the line, black “EX.” When I mentioned to the dealer the car I wanted his reply was “Oh, we’re probably not going to get ahold of one of those. They’re really hot right now. But we do have this DX on the lot.” So I test

Yeah, it’s pretty safe. The guy in my story hit a curb trying to drift or something and flipped the car. It was 2007 and tokyo drift was on everyone’s mind.

The most frustrating thing is that dealers do this shit because it works (on some people).

I love this story!

I’ve owned about 20 cars, but have somehow managed to never trade one in. I’ve let them quote me a time or too, but I always do several $1,000 better selling private.  I always try and buy private too, especially because here in AZ you avoid sales tax.  It’s tough to do though, especially on newer/nicer vehicles.

Mine was in 2006, at a Ford dealership in either Burbank or North Hollywood (I forget which). I was tired of dealing with my manual Mazda Protege in LA traffic, and wanted to trade it in on an automatic Focus. They had the car I wanted (ZX3 SE, in black) so we sat down to figure out the deal. I handed the Mazda keys

Many people are just not comfortable with spending a five-figure sum on a vehicle without seeing it in person

I always assumed it was about being in love with a dental hygienist.

My funniest tidbit about the Weeknd is that his first big hit “I Can’t Feel My Face” (the title alone being a reference to heavy cocaine use) was nominated for Nickelodeon’s Kid’s Choice award for song of the year. Good times.

I was actually kinda into it. It was nice to have something, anything, that wasn’t “big stage at the 50 yard line surrounded by people with lights on them”. Sure, I would’ve liked to see The Weeknd take a little more advantage of that format freedom, but having him pop from the stage to the stands to a dance number

At this point, I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t build an overtly dick shaped rocket.

I’ve found indy shops around me don’t want to install my part. They want me to buy the part from them or they don’t want my business.  They also work bankers hours, so I guess more power to them, but not good for those of us who want a good small shop mechanic. 

Take a shitty job, win stupid prizes? Is that how that goes?

You’re going to be searching for a long time to find an M3 with an interior in that condition for $12k, especially considering those coupe seats appear to be in really nice shape. I bought a red coupe with 100k miles ten years ago for $10.5k with a pristine interior. They just aren’t selling that low anymore,
