Remembering Scion
Late night bad ideas - poor man's Porsche
You know those notions that come to you just as you’re falling asleep, and then the next day seem totally batshit? I had one last night, but it won’t go away.
There isn't enough crack in the world for anyone to buy this
Especially now the seller’s smoked most of it. Optimistic doesn’t tell the half of it.
Insurance claim valuation?
So, some idiot decided to ram the Camry the other night. Not massive damage, but the challenge is to get it valued properly so they don’t write it off - his insurance is going to be paying, I reckon, since he changed lanes right into my rear door.
Good news!
You can now buy a 2 y/o secondhand Dacia Sandero for <£3500 (~$5000)
When did the beamer/bimmer myth start?
A few times recently, I’ve seen people round here saying that there’s a difference between a Beamer and a Bimmer, with one being a motorbike and the other a car. I’m pretty certain that’s a new idea, and the Beezer explanation is just folk etymology created to explain a difference people didn’t understand. It seems…

Now that's chutzpah
“The results of our experiment contradict the Dutch report,” said Yan Novikov, the general director of the company. “It can now be clearly said that if a rocket was used it was a Buk 9M38, not a Buk 9M38M1, fired from the area of Zaroshchensk.”
Euro-Oppos: new LPG system?
Anyone heard of this, or had any experience?

What a fucking terrible bit of driving. Driver should have swung wide on the street he was on, and then turned into his own side of the road.
What car is this?
No-one hurt too badly this time, so we can play the game. I’m going with Vauxhall Astra because a) door mirrors and b) stupidity. Apparently the driver went straight across a t-junction where they didn’t have priority because their sat-nav told them to keep going straight on.
