I have been a vindictive dick from time to time. I am not proud of it.
Based on his foaming-at-the-mouth apoplectic tantrum, I figured I wasn’t the only one he had pissed off enough to do something like that.
The BMW driver is a self-entitled fuckbag who thinks the rules don’t apply to him. I’m with the truck driver on this one.
It’s cheap enough to not give a shit. If the 4wd works then NP all day.
My mom’s first car was a green-on-green 77 Mustang II Ghia with the 2.8/4speed. It was rusted out by the time she traded it on a 78 Bronco in 1983. Still, she learned to shift when my dad brought it home to her and said “you’re driving. Let’s go.” And she's still a damned good hoon when she has three pedals to play…
I work for an aftermarket leather company and we do a bunch of SR5 4runners. At least 4 a month from one dealer alone, and our bread-and-butter are mid-line cars and SUVS. On our schedule today there’s a pair of Sonatas, a 4runner SR5, two Accord Sports, and an Odyssey.
I came here to post this. I got mine in 1988.
I did it and got through it. But I had help and support along the way. Even if I hadn't had the support I had then, I wouldn't judge the op like tyr
In the mid Aughts, I lived in Charlotte and lost my license due to not paying a fine. I sold the car to pay off some of the fines and fees - things escalate when you neglect them - and to get to work 4 miles away (at the time I was working in a call center from 11 AM to 10 PM) , I found that I had about five choices.
Kia. Seriously - my wife and I both had credit scores under 600 and a trade in worth less than $1000 and they were able to get us into a new Soul with a rate in the 9% range. That’s high for a new car but pretty low for a sub-600 FICO score.
Concord, North Carolina... My mom lives about 3 miles from the site of the Jeff Gordon Pepsi commercial.
I’ve told this story on OppositeLock a few times, but in 2008 I had a car I couldn’t drive (no license) and was sitting in my mom’s driveway because it had an expired license plate and I didn’t want my apartment complex to tow it away.
I’ll take it and I won’t even charge you the extra $125
I’d say just like selling a running car. Anyone with a smart phone and a fifth-grade education can write a good Craigslist or Autotrader ad in a matter of minutes, but it seems that most people won’t.
They can be had really cheap but they’re more like a British car when it comes to maintenance.
Now I’ve put 42,000 on mine and I’ve driven a few other vehicles with it and I have to say that the Hyundai Gamma 1.6 (when paired with the six speed manual transmission) is definitely awesome.
My friend’s parents own two Alfa Romeo Duetto Spiders. So they can have one running car. The running joke is that an old Alfa is like a helicopter. Drive for two hours, repair for two hours.
GM owned Lotus and Isuzu at the time, so there’s no excuse for this being a sporty-looking car that drove and handled like a cheap Korean wannabe. It was tiny inside, slow, loud, and the build quality was horrible.
They forgot the video card for my laps, too, so I got to do about six laps in the F430 and three in the Gallardo. F430 was a better car IMO.
