The “public” is full of shit. People will fly in hand trucks tied up like Hannibal Lecter if it will save them $5 on a ticket.

I have read a number of articles about the looming shortage of skilled trades people — electricians, plumbers, etc. You can make a nice living doing that.

I would rather “invest” my $10,000 by helping a displaced Nigerian dictator who only needs $10,000 to reclaim his kingdom, at which point he will give me “ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS!!”. In that scenario I’ll only lose $10,000. This sketchy Maserati will take all the dollars. CP!

The exhaust note from these engines is so virile that it could serve as the soundtrack to a Chuck Norris fight scene.

Normally a wet Italian model is like Viagra, but this is more like salt peter.

I own a GTI and could have afforded way more, but I decided that a basic GTI with the slick and quick DSG and Lighting package was plenty, and higher quality than anything else at it’s price point. And this Sentra still has a torsion beam rear axle.

“negative equity” is a bullshit term invented by shady financiers to make your shitty situation appear less shitty.

Bankruptcy all the way. That’s a *lot* of money to be underwater, and no end in sight. Better to get a lawyer, go through the pain now, and rebuild credit over the next few years while driving a cheap used car.

I guess if you’re at the back end of the traffic though its good to have your brake lights on to warn approaching drivers.

Thank you for confirming that there are idiots in Europe.

My 2011 VW Touareg has this feature. Nice to see Bmw is finally catching up.

Ah, the typical Olds owner; sweaters over collared shirts...even the women. “Not your Father’s Oldsmobile.” No, more like his Father’s, or the Father before him, or the Father that touched him in church. Yeah, that one.

Take a picture of your registration on your cell phone and do not leave the registration or other papers with personal information in the vehicle.

Off-topic: whenever I see the word “glass” repeated frequently, I can’t help but think of the slang term for meth:

What if the car were wearing a short skirt, topless, at a crowed party full of lustfull onlookers?

Another effective anti-theft device:

I just don’t think you have the evidence to support the idea that their long-term reliability hasn’t improved. Lots of people regurgitate that line based on 20-30 year old cars.

That Messerschmidt is the best looking fighter ever.

They were closer than you might think.
