You are my hero. I love Type 3 and 4 Volkswagens.

Actually, being originally from WV and going there fairly regularly, I can tell you that 65mph on twisty mountain roads is the norm. People who learned to drive on those roads will scare the living shit out of the uninitiated. Being a Jalop, I relish visits there for the driving opportunities. Like how people say…

Did I just read ‘snackable’ and poop emojis in that article? Like....eat shit?

Stealership hater here...BUUUUT...I don’t see the problem here. Based on the lady’s demeanor from the get go, I have to wonder whether he was actually speeding or if he just drove past them when they were stopped. The techs have to road test the cars anyway.

I have felt that these cars are ugly since the first time I laid eyes on one. It’s an abomination that should be killed with fire. It has no business wearing the Porsche emblem.

Fastest tofu delivery in town!

I’m not sure you understand what nepotism actually means.

Because cops in the good ole US of A are fucking fascist pedasos de mierda. Fucking crooked bully scum.

Exactly. I literally laughed out loud at that. Are people REALLY that fucking naive!?

That cost of ownership could have been far less had you done some of the maintenance yourself. Oil changes are an effin rip off, and a rock chip in the windscreen should be covered in your comprehensive insurance. Brakes and battery changes are not things a Jalop should be paying for either.

I think you might have hit the nail on the head there shipmate.

I’ve never been one for collective punishment. I think everyone could have been sufficiently trained and a breakdown still occur on that watch. I just really want to know how so many layers of watchstanders failed to prevent the collision. It’s baffling.

All of the above. The OOD should have their head on a swivel, the lookouts should be doing their jobs, and CIC damn sure should have known they were on collision course because they watch the radars nonstop- or are supposed to anyway. Hell, there should have been literal bells and whistles going off. I can’t fathom…

Nothing new here. The Iranians buzz past American ships in the Straits of Hormuz in their little boats all the time. That’s as common as hearing ‘monkey monkey, Filipino monkey’ over the bridge to bridge at 3am.

Yup. All drills all the time...until it comes naturally.

8 year Navy vet here. 4 years as a BM and 4 as a QM, so all 8 years as a bridge watchstander. What I want to know is where the fuck was starboard goddamn watch?! Hell, all 3 lookouts should have been able to see a fucking ship that size bearing down on them. I don’t like that the CO and XO got canned but that’s the…

Take my star motherfucker!😃

I’m reading a lot if sentimental horseshit here guys. If you love a car so much that it would matter to you how the next owner treated it, why sell it? Once you sell it, it is no longer your concern.

Ding! We have a winner!

Aallll the stars for you!
