Why the hell are they serving such water intensive food to pigs?

Toyota is reportedly moving away from the traditional way of paying workers based on how long they've been with the company towards performance-based incentives in a move to attract a younger talent pool.

I wasn't that young. He got it when I was 11 or 12 and probably 19 or 20 when he got rid of it. I helped the man service it until I got to college. Hell, I rotated the tires on it (couldn't do a full rotation because of the direction tires he put on it) probably a dozen times. I changed the oil for him several…

Two transmissions over 270,000 miles isn't that bad. Especially for a ~300 hp AWD V8 that had nearly every feature possible on a vehicle at the time. Plus, the thing looked like new when he traded it in because it was aluminum. It's vastly different than your econobox.

Yeah, I believe '98 was the first year in the US for the D2 A8 and '03 was the last.

This '03 is the same thing as the '98 basically. A few minor changes, but nothing major.

They are actually pretty damn reliable. My father had a 1998 A8 for most of my childhood and a big part of my college years and it was probably the most reliable vehicle he owned. At ~130,000 miles the transmission needed rebuilding, and again at ~270,000 (which was the final death blow, since it was 9~10 year old…

What? It looks like suede or faux suede or alcantara. I'm not seeing any smoking damage.

He's a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE douche canoe.

If you need me, I'll be doing donuts on the roof of my parking garage.

Why not just fine people that cause an accident/waste of resources accordingly?

I've got that with my name on the license plate!

Sounds like that was a 9 year old truck... it'll rust eventually.

Purple? Nah, I'll take orange.

This one:

Exactly. Plus when it's snowing like a bitch outside and the risk to the driver of getting stuck, damaging their vehicle or some other sort of accident is higher, they should be paid more. When the price is capped, that incentive is greatly decreased and there will be less willing drivers.

Why not take a cab if you think it's too expensive?

You bet. It's quite common actually. Especially since if you work aluminum back into shape too much, it has a tendency to tear, where steel is a bit more flexible and easier to put back into shape.

I want to know how much bondo is going to be on it...

And dream of what you'll do with warmer weather...
