Shit. Well you did get 9 replies...3 years ago.

Exactly. My sister had a Plymouth Lazer (aka Eclipse, aka Talon) that had maybe 120hp and its transmission failed at about 100,000 miles. Even at that low a mileage figure the car was already worth less than the transmission. That car was the most claustrophobic thing I’ve ever driven, and I owned a Miata.

I’m kinda mindblown how you kept switching between knowing how to pluralize car names, then forgetting, then remembering again in the same post.

That’s kind of amazing how something so small ended up being what caused all that. They cheaped out on the bolts and literally half of them snapped in half.

You’re going to get a bunch of replies that are basically “(other truck) costs $__,___ so no.” And of course those responses will be one dimensional and simplistic and miss your point entirely, which is a philosophical “Is this way too much to pay for a truck?” It is.

My 1982 Suzuki GSX750 blew my mind into an entirely new realm of warped time. It had about 80hp and weighed about 500lbs, enough to put it through the quarter mile in the mid-high 12s. It was my second motorcycle.

Yeah no kidding. I know a guy who got about twice that much air in a Nissan hardbody, landed clean, and it broke his back. He has fused vertebrae now from that seemingly tame jump.

I’m always a little disappointed when a Ferrari engine doesn’t sound as high pitched as an F1 car. It’s like I’m being aurally cockblocked by a rev limiter.

Alright

They call it smileboating

Aside from that having nothing to do with what I wrote, I’m totally on board with what you’re saying.

I got so intrigued by this that I actually looked up the stats myself:

Well truth be told baseball fields have gotten a lot more homogenous in the last few decades. No more polo grounds with their freakish nearly-500-foot center field and 258-foot right field, perfect for Yankee pull hitters, especially lefties, and where a line drive can easily become an inside-the-parker.

I’d love to see a breakdown of just how freakish this World Series was for just one reason:

Depends on what you mean by “Cubs fans.” There are a lot of them who’ve waited a shitlong time for this.

There’s no way Joe Maddon didn’t bet on the Indians to win. Every single pitching change he made had immediate, disastrous consequences that most fans could see coming a mile away.

I’m the same way with Rugby on Xbox, the difference being after 20 games I still have no idea how the hell rugby works.

The danger with that being if he misplaces a few 100mph pitches, it’s just more blast energy launching the other way when somebody inevitably puts a bat on it.

They really should just call Bumgarner’s 5-inning-long 2014 World Series Game 7 save a win. That Affeldt got the win pitching 2 1/3 innings of middle relief is just retarded, an anomalistic statline glitch based on the Giants happening to score the lone winning run in the final frame he was on the mound.

I’m white and even I got a “fit the description” detainment once. Got pulled over by a cop after I drove through a grocery store parking lot.
