1. Tailgaters

The widening was very well done, but that doesn’t make it better than before. The paint job and smoke stacks just seal the deal to let everyone know that: yes, your penis really is THAT small.

I find the front and rear to be hideous/sad, the interior is ghastly. I suspect those looks are part of why it didn’t sell too well. But when you are looking in the 5k range, aesthetics are a minor concern. It’s a clean, running vehicle so the price seems fair enough.

He was one of my absolute favorite actors. I have never seen him play a role that he didn’t knock completely out of the park. The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, The Night Of (a few off the top of my head that I remember).  He was just fantastic.  I’ll miss seeing his work and will seek out anything I’ve missed.

I love really wild concept cars. This looks completely out of this world. It’s fantastic.  

I’ve driven in America for 32 years, I’ll say it: Sweden’s way is better.  

You’re currently speaking to THOSE dickheads who think going ~85+ and tailgating anyone who isn’t is A-OK because they’re such great drivers (or whatever the fuck is going on in their entitled head). Fuck these people. If anyone is reading this comment and that tailgater, speeding around on the right, describes you,

Counterpoint: nothing of value was lost.

On this note, I’m job hunting and we have a massive federal workforce where I live. I have a decent chance at getting hired already, but my chances should increase dramatically in the coming weeks. Gonna be a LOT of openings soon. As a bonus, I’d be surrounded at work by more people who give a fuck about others and

What an entitled, moronic asshole. I’ll bet he thinks rolling coal and street racing is badass too. Who the fuck raises these people? Oh right - older, entitled, moronic assholes. But don’t call them out on it, or you’re the asshole, right, fucktard?

I also feel like some C8 cockpit choices are not really ideal for drivers. Squared off wheel and that long line of buttons down the center... that odd looking screen setup. This layout is also kind of telling the driver to piss off.  

For 42K, why not buy a much newer (or brand new) 4x4 and some badass camping gear? As a bonus, you get 2-4x the mpg, have a vehicle you might actually want to DD, is safer, faster, has modern tech, better at being a 4x4, better looking and isn’t basically useless for anything but camping.

I wouldn’t worry.  I clean the engine bays of all our cars at least once a year. With as nice as this 21 year old BMW is, I suspect it’s just been kept clean and got a final detailing.

That sounds terrifying. Not that it will make it less scary, but some of us are trying. I never touch phone while driving. When I see a cyclist, pedestrian or a car/utility truck parked on the shoulder, I edge as far to the left of my lane as I can. If it’s safe, and no traffic is coming, I will edge over the center

On this note, tailgaters: Jesus H Christ, I’m so fucking sick of these people and they seem to be breeding like rabbits. I swear I get tailgated a lot more now than ever before.  If I’m too slow, then pass; but they often don’t (in safe areas that my own, elderly mother would feel comfortable passing). I especially

I suspect it runs flawless audio for one. That’s the biggest issue I have with the latest Raspberry Pi. Most games (that I’ve tried) run perfectly fine (up until Ps1/N64), but the sound can sometimes be a real PITA to get right.

It’s really the only choice. TDI’s are pretty fantastic.  The range is just phenomenal. (also biased, but it’s the obvious choice)

Get a diesel VW wagon.  

While “the system” may treat them the same, the difference is the voters. One side has standards, the other doesn’t. As a general rule, Republican voters will accept anything (see: Trump and acolytes) except crossing the aisle; Democratic voters will toss your ass to the curb, regardless of whether you skirted through

I’m too boring to pull that off as a daily, but what a fabulous Raptor.
