I don’t care about the celebs at the race who aren’t even there for the race. I think he asked David Beckham who he favored, and I think the response was “we’ll see”. Probably because he doesn’t know a single driver name.

Wait... so WHO’S coming to pick me up in 10 minutes?  And why don’t I need to pay in cash for this ride?

The whimsy of the paint job doesn’t change that this is a 30 year old VW. I’m going to go ahead and assume that the owner really liked this car, but it’s starting to do 30-year-old VW things, and they’re looking to get away.

“I could see paying $10k if I was a VW guy”

Safer to replace the seats outright.

That’s a 9A, not an ABA. The fact that the seller calls it an ABA (taller deck height block, same bore and stroke, but 8 valves) and dumped it on the ultimate scene setup of $2000 of wheel with $50 of suspension tells me all I need to know. CP.

Exactly! Why is there a VW badge hanging from the rear bumper?

Yeah I was like that is a great paint job And I liked that year of Passat and I saw the sticker and immediately clicking ND. because there is not enough steam in the world to kill the amount of hepatitis living in those cushions.

The “FAKE TAXI” sticker on the back tells me everything I need to know.

The floormats say toddler’s playset, and the paint job says rolling ad for Lego or Toys-R-Us.

I appreciate the whimsy, but there is not $10k worth of kitsch here, nor can the underlying vehicle justify such a price.

The median pay of a commercial pilot in 2021 was $134,000. Cry me a river.

I think California is older than that.

Flying commercial is now akin to a greyhound bus with wings and crazy people. It’s always been bad but now it’s just gross. Lets think about the  critical shortage of PILOTS! A Virgin Atlantic flight had to turn around when they realized an uncertified pilot was at the controls.  The backlog of training is going to…

It’s not just the last 10 months. I read stories about pilot shortages 5 years ago.

We don’t have enough workers so you all have to work harder and longer!

Literally.

This. Pilot pay is fucking bullshit peanuts these days.

The boomers (and previous generations) got flight training from the military. Current flight students have to pay a flight school.

To be fair, most airlines suck at the best of times.
