Yeah talk about a bonerkill

My favorite part was when she called the couch a “dive-in” instead of a divan, because she’d never seen the word before so she just winged it.

I’d say it’s slightly better than being in (or rather on) a Can Am Spyder, but you have to keep in mind that kind of vehicle is the worst of both worlds: it has the crash exposure of a motorcycle with none of a motorcycle’s maneuverability (three wheels is a lot wider than two) to avoid the crash in the first place.

Can’t believe commas and apostrophes are this difficult for somebody getting paid for this. C’mon

Yeah stories like this, even completely successful mechanic stories, are why I never take my car to a mechanic, ever. Every new repair job I’ve done has been something I’ve never done before, but it always somehow ends up being fine, including total engine swaps and rebuilds. The internet is awesome for that kind of…

“if you are preaching safety by sending people to look at gory pictures, I think you may fall toward the wrong end of the asshole scale.”

The best way to get somebody to put gear on is to have them crash. That’s also the best way to keep them from crashing again.

“I don’t want you driving through tunnels! You know what that symbolizes”

Or he needs to become a part time photographer for a media outlet and get in for free, and get to see the models naked while getting paid for it. That’s what I do. The backstage at those things is insane. Haven’t been to a Victoria’s Secret one yet, but from what I’ve seen, I can’t imagine it being any more awesome.

“billet alluminum compressor wheels”

It’s so we have a better understanding of what makes a monster like that happen, so we can prevent it in the future if possible.

“It will behove me to be rid of another incapable of thought, liberal.”

One of the guys I work with has a “sports car.” It’s the base model Mitsubishi 3000GT, garaged, with 1" of gap between the windows and the sills and nonfunctional AC at 60,000 miles. His other “sports car” is a V6 Firebird from the mid ‘90s.

I was talking about Clarkson being the first guy on the show to do it, it being his continuing gag, and the new show (that thing we’re talking about here) continuing the gag without him.

So Clarkson’s the guy who started the whole Reliant Robin bashing thing, he’s the guy who made it funny, he’s gone now, so they’re going to keep doing it anyway.

Of course it’s possible. I’m thinking some 350 from the 1970s, just because that’s exactly what they’d do.

Ok that’s ludicrous

That’s like a damn rocket launch and hell opening up at once. I’ve gotta find out where they have that around here.

That might be the most brutally voracious sounding V8 I’ve ever heard. You win.

God that killed me.
