And that’s the point. If you enjoy your car, you’re living the dream.

Yeah that’s confusing to me too. If anything I thought NPR had as close to even a mix of men and women of any station I’m aware of. Maybe they just stand out so well.

“I’m disagreeing that it is purely Florida’s laws that make it so messed up.”

Did you not read a single thing there, and just posted anyway?

Not knowing which Cadillac it was is a serious bonerkill.

If Florida didn’t have probably the most open public records laws in the nation (it’s incredibly easy to get police reports like this) people wouldn’t think the state sucked.

The 110 is an amazingly weird car in a long line of odd reboots. Not that any casual pejorative will really hurt the new Bugatti’s feelings. It just needs to be faster than the last one and it’ll do just fine.

Seems like he was just shifting at 3,000rpm every time, which is probably how you get a 50-year-old 90hp-per-liter sportscar made by a former tractor company to go 268,000 miles.

“People claim that but I’ve never actually seen it. Even the truck LS’s motors are more than that on Ebay with no transmission.”

That sounds like a bitch getting a DOHC V8 to fit in a space that even an LS barely squeezes into.

I’m interested in the engineering that goes into that exhaust, because it looks like some fancy headers, a cat, and a shitload of straightpipe.

Those slash cut tips and that sound really make this the bargain V12 alternative to a Ferrari 250 GT. Sure it looks nothing like one, but damn, if sound is your thing, this is just ludicrous, and a damn bargain.

How is the 345lb/ft of torque a “gutless turd.”?

When I was resurrecting the first car I’d ever bought from a junkyard and the very first spark plug I tried to remove snapped off in the head. A 10 minute job became a 10 hour job at that point.

Your contributions to the world:

I responded to what you said you do. You admitted you do these things. How the fuck is that an assumption?

A lot of people hated this car for no reason whatsoever. Sure I owned one and it nearly killed me multiple times, but it was fast as hell and looked really pretty since I waxed it about 50 times a year.

Technically they don’t give a shit. There’s a pretty strong contingent on Kinja that will star any rejoinder, no matter how irrelevant, as long as it’s very easy to understand. They don’t necessarily care about the thing they starred; the star is just an avatar for a bunch of monkeys clapping and hooting while you…

See, this is taking something on its surface and giving it the most self-serving spin possible.

Well the difference there is everybody should be literate, know how to spell and use proper grammar because, in a written forum like this, bad English begets bad English. People become normalized to the mistakes until eventually we all look illiterate.
