Also: Cars in the US with fake Euro plates. Here in SC there is no front plate requirement and as a result I see a ton of these d-bag identifiers.

Fart cans on stock engines, fake vents not even lined up, fake scoops, just about anything from a parts store that installs with double sided tape (blind spot mirrors don’t count because useful), ANY non-stock badging that is for looks and not jokes. I can respect badges for jokes... like having every single badge

Im thinking (hoping) his point is all the POS civics with giant park bench size spoilers on the back. Spoilers have a purpose but not on 95% of the street cars they are sloppily bolted to.

You don’t see it as much anymore, but a loud fart can exhaust on something like an otherwise stock old Honda or Toyota with an automatic transmission. Years ago, when the Fast and the Spurious was really popular and every kid with a Civic thought he was Dominic Torreto, the guy next door to me had a fourth generation

It’s not the humidity, it’s the assholes.

I’m not saying she isn’t a good person, or a nice one.

You don’t pay cash because its a good investment. You pay cash because it prevents you from buying more car than you can afford.

Agreed tha paying cash or financing is a personal decision. There is always a ‘correct’ mathematical decision, but certain people have different tolerances for debt, some have an emotional benefit to debt free living.

There is a grain of truth back when drum brakes were common.

The top 2 are false but the last 2 aren’t. AWD isn’t a miracle that overcomes physics but I’d rather have 4 powered wheels on mixed traction surfaces.

Unfortunately for him, it’s worth VW’s while to railroad him legally to deter others from attempting to do the same to their cars. They have lawyers on retainer just for this type of thing. If he has to pony up for his own lawyer, even if he eventually wins, he will wish he never bothered being so petty as parting his

If you lived somewhere where you couldn’t actually get up your driveway without AWD you would feel different.

And with AWD you will be able to walk up to it, get in, and drive to wherever you need to get to no matter what the weather. As you roll away from the others in 6 inches of snow at the stoplight you will remember that looks aren’t everything.

If you live in the heart of the polar vortex as I do(at least for the last three weeks) rear wheel drive cars with low ground clearance are not a lot of fun for 2-3 months of the year. So mine is tucked away and the WRX comes out in its place.

Obvious choice is obvious...

The motives in WWE wrestling are fake and the moves are prepared, but that doesn’t mean the violence is fake - getting slammed is still getting slammed. While I don’t care much for the spectacle, it is still a very athletic activity; it’s like watching stuntmen practicing.

If you take market-tracking mutual funds rather than individual stocks, odds are very good over the term of a 5 year car loan the market is going to come out ahead.

If that’s the case then your assets (stocks) would counterbalance your debts (financed vehicle) It’s a wash and in the end, you STILL OWN NOTHING.

So the technician following protocol is at fault for people driving too fast for conditions. Got it.

I agree. Plenty of drivers have managed to stop safely with no drama. If you live in. I’m gonna guess Washington state. You see these conditions regularly and should know how to handle them.
