I’ve read about 25 stories in this thread so far and this is the first one where somebody actually got fired.

I know what you mean. We got a new HR manager and the last three years our “Holiday Party” has been a potluck lunch with no booze. I didn’t even go this year. It’s held in the office, and it’s not a big office.

This is solid

and those legends might be...

Well that was epic.

Holy crap that’s awesome/horrible

Well yeah thought we were all there already.

Probably one of the most classically styled cars of all time, and incredibly reliable. Every time somebody asks me what car I’d get if I could have anything I wanted, I say my E34, but with four times the horsepower.

Depends on what you want to call a sedan, because it doesn’t just apply to 4 doors. But this just ends up being a pedantic one-upmanship contest at that point.

I’m a longtime BMW guy but that’s a good idea. It’s a lot simpler to just refer to cars as generations instead of inscrutable alphanumerics, especially for an outsider. But referring to cars by model years isn’t nearly as helpful, because you don’t know when one generation starts and one ends.

Well holy shit this wins

Oh Jesus not again

This is the only pedantic thing I’ve ever agreed with, and there’s a lot of that on here. The difference between pre and post-differential is enormous. That’s why (among other reasons) people put shorter rear ends in their cars. It muliplies the hell out of the torque.

Well holy shit

I think his point was that in the 1980s people could see into the future and knew that in 2015 a 928 would be worth about 1/20th as much as a 911, which is the only context in which his comment makes sense, so I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt.

You’re not sorry at all.

I totally agree with you. There’s a deep existential rift in not knowing who your dad is. Hell, I have two friends whose fathers simply abandoned the family when they were young, and both of them are still wrecks 25 years later.

Oh hell yes. Do this.

And one of those isn’t going to break down. It seems odd that you’d leave that out, but it’s because that’s a confounding factor in your argument. Lexus exists as it does today because they could build a car that’s as powerful and luxurious as a German car but with tanklike durability thrown in, gaining that…

You’re gonna have a hard time explaining how buying a Lexus makes you “gullible.”
