There was a kid I went to high school that had one of these. He lived around the corner from me, and he rode this to school Freshman year all the way until just before we graduated. You could get a scooter license at 14. Never took it on the freeway; just kept it on the service roads. It was brilliant. He avoided the…

On a mortgage, that’s definitely the case. The last car I financed, that was the case as well. But, shady car dealers aren’t necessarily concerned with either the letter of the law or keeping consumers informed.

Priscilla said to tell you she needs $200 for groceries. Lisa Marie said she could swing by once you finish riding dirt bikes in the yard.

Or move more, and neither is happening this week.

It’s a Workaholics “Poop Dollar” bit gone too far.

Right. Hog farms attract all the best neighbors.

Clearly never been to Scranton.

Just make the pancake in the instant pot and do French style scrambled egg soup in the circulator and ensure that everyone will be pissed with maximum effort.

Or, look at it this way. For every free loan, there’s one that has someone walking around looking for a nice soft cushion to sit on for 72 months.

In fairness, there’s probably $50 worth of fill dirt in the carpet...

What I’d really like to see is a “Will it Boost?” segment, where all kinds of random crap gets fed into a turbo just to see if it will make it through. Huck a banana in there. Paint, and see if you can paint with the exhaust. Might not make it through the first test, but could be fun on cars that run, but are about to…

Having owned one of these, my money is on the transmission cooler contributing to overheating the radiator. Stock, these had a combined radiator and transmission cooler. Basically, the radiator stacked on top of the transmission cooler. Up in the mountains, the Torqueflight 727 gets nice and warm moving that pig up…

Eh - I had a 144, and besides having to tune it up every 6 months to keep it running right and it topping out at around 80 mph in 4th gear, loved it to pieces.

I drove one for a week in Germany and Austria. I concur with your numbers.

And rioting college kids. Don’t forget those.

Eh - he should have been on the BW Parkway racing the motorcycles going 160 to Maryland.

No lie, I went to a private university in TX, and a kid drove a Lambo LM002. First real exposure to people with FU money. I was never jealous of the car. I was jealous that the kid had been on the Concorde several times.

Not with Tavarish around, they don’t. Cue up a soundtrack to a “World’s Cheapest Siezed Alpina B12" video in 3, 2, 1 ...

Or the brodozerification that leads from a parking lot down to the 1 mile unpaved road approaching the paved parking lot for a trailhead to a 1.5 mile nature loop. Oh, and assbaggery in the snow. And some Punisher stickers.

In general, it boils down to: If you show someone else a gun, you better plan on using it. If you plan on using it, you better plan on killing them. And if you plan on killing them, it better be because they were going to kill you first. It’s like If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, but with guns.
