“If anyone was stupid, it was the owner for making demands they knew they couldn’t enforce. The service writer knew what he was doing, I guarantee they were calling the customer an “asshole” and took the car out to spite him. They might not have even bothered if he didn’t say anything.”

One of the most broken minded…

Yep. I’d be a lot more sympathetic if the tech felt like they had to take the car up and down the street the dealership is on to properly confirm the repair was done right (if you’re unable to tell at parking lot speeds), but the data recorder clearly shows this was a dumbass out joyriding

Or better yet, the A/C is fine but some bum shit/pissed/barfed all over the car. never, ever, enter the empty car. It’s empty for a damned good reason.

Two things: First, it would take a special kind of stupid to have in your hands a six year old car with 989 miles on it and not think that the owner wouldn’t notice that you put 20, 10 or even 2 miles on it.

I’m sure letting a battery fire just cook for a few weeks isn’t dumping toxic chemicals into the local air or anything.

BUT, they are a HELL of a lot harder to put out when they do go up, and that is kind of a big deal.

“watching videos of people going through 7-elevens in Japan”

An investment, it has the potential to increase in value and provide a return. You car ain’t that and if you find one that is, it is either very special…

“Sora Lee makes a measly salary of $400,000 per year as head of marketing for TikTok It gets worse, that salary combined with her investment portfolio only gives her a net worth of about $843,000. Times are tough right now for social media executives.”

What if they got him a bicycle instead?  I mean, and divorce papers, yeah, but dipshits on bicycles is kind of a Lance thing, no?

I’ve never seen a car with a thermometer. Temperature sensors, yes, but not a thermometer. I don’t think any car company has claimed their vehicles have thermometers.

Jaywalking is a thing because the automotive industry poured a lot of money into turning this into a car-dependent nation.

In one of the many helicopters that were probably on hand to support a rally by billionaires.

I bet they’re forced to bust out their ‘86 Honda Civic in this time of crisis....great gas mileage and good in snow.

Someone send this to Tavarish to fix.

“So, I uh, reverse engineered the smoldering ashes to turn them back into carbon fiber, made a new wiring harness, hooked it up to to this grocery bag of watch batteries, and it’s as good as new!”
