“Look kids! A Plymouth Laser!”

$5k buys you a lot of car in today’s market. This may be a rare Jetta, but I’m not a VW fetishist, so i’m going to pass. CP

Amazingly tidy. My first car was a 1983 GTI and seeing the LED “Christmas Tree” brings back (scary) memories. “How many of them will stay lit today?” “Do any of them mean I won’t make it to my girlfriends house?” NP

A Lada things went wrong here. The obvious one was a Lada stupid people.

I hope there are a Lada bad puns in this thread.

Doesn’t seem like they had...

I really miss our old idiot. The new one suuuuucks

I’m less bothered by the dumb intake (the proper aftermarket ones run the tube right behind the radiator, and terminate below it, vacuuming any puddle you drive through), and more bothered by all of the shoddy wiring in the engine bay.

I believe they prefer “LEAFs”

I suspect this as well. And the fact the city tries so hard and gets all uppity just eggs them on more. Like when they went into a manhunt because a ~100lb teenager stood on a parked cop car. They wanted to go after him for criminal damaging and a bunch of other trumped up BS. His scrawny ass isn’t heavy enough to…

Honestly, the best reason I can figure is that the H2Oi crowd is literally doing it for the LOLs. It’s the same mindset (on both sides) that helps ensure the curmudgeon-y old bastard who yells at all the kids in the neighborhood is the person who receives a massively disproportionate level of pranking / property…

It should come down to a reasonable test. What is reasonable? If you ask Joe Blow off the street if Lewis Hamilton actually owned that jet, he would look at the situation and say yes. If you asked Joe Blow off the street if there is any reason that multiple companies are created and the jet is rented to the same guy…

And I am side eyeing Ashton Kutcher so hard right now. His entire philanthropy is stopping sex trafficking and he is still friends with dude in a cult with child slaves and rapists.

As just some random guy at a desk slacking off at work... this is interesting AF.

As a process engineer for a Concrete Laboratory... this is interesting AF.

So true. My cable if damage is a 600$ fee from BMW, I’d rather not have extra complications and extra costs.

First off, the stories you write take up too much of my workday reading them.. So thank you for making my days shorter.

Great read, felt like I was in the neighborhood with you.

This is a dye, not armour all. Putt it on my wifes truck 4 years ago. It’s still black. I tried Mothers, it didn’t work.

Peter, as always, love your work man. Great write up! I really enjoyed reading it. Your starting a very cool golden era of Japanese motoring collection going there. What do you think will be your next project? Perhaps a two door second gen 4Runner?
