Maybe the idea is that eventually tire width will be adjustable. Wide for grip, narrow for aero.

They need better air vents. I’ve decided that’s the problem. Mash the ones from the XJ in there and it’d already look a lot better.

Better to be him than the guy who approves of a woman getting attacked by a cyclist joyriding on the wrong side of the road.

Did she say “you’d better bring the Double Down?” I mean, I like chicken sandwiches too, but that’s just unnecessary

It is not rational to be sad over the death over someone you do not know. Thousands of strangers die every day; most of these strangers did not die rich, beautiful, happy, and in the passenger seat of a million-dollar exotic car while joyriding on public roads.

The worst part is the fact that it capitalizes on a dead actor; worse still is how people actually feel sad

Weird, that’s what I was thinking about you.

Or maybe that customer had worked in a service department before and knew what could go wrong. At my dealership, if a customer dropped off a car and did their own external 360 check before walking away, I knew that customer meant business and that I should be extra careful with their car (aka I needed to make sure I…

You know what, though - those pain in the ass customers are probably the most intelligent people at a car dealership. You have no idea the shit people pull at dealerships and try to get away with. In the same day, I’ve seen people steal change from cars, hit them against other cars and attempt to cover up the damage,…

I dunno, ask your mom, I’m sure she’ll tell you.

Actually I’d be more likely to be the mechanic, because until recently I worked in a service department at a dealership.

It’s difficult. Like, usually I’m a cynical kind of guy and accept that generally people are very shitty. I just don’t think we should accept that. I mean, we don’t accept that with childcare professionals. Imagine if we said “well, you can give your baby to a daycare, but don’t expect to get your baby back with all…

Well yeah. In both crimes, the perpetrator wants to take something that isn’t theirs and they don’t give a fuck how it affects anyone the victim - or they do care, and get off on the idea of not getting caught. It’s easy to get all up-in-arms when anyone brings up rape, but the mentality of a rapist is quite similar…

That might work better if bartenders were known for spitting in drinks, unprovoked.

The thing is, though, is that you’re paying these people to take good care of your car. The whole point of that business is to have them serve you. Not steal from you. The house break-in analogy would work better in this case if you’d handed the robber your housekeys.

Because you should never expect a business to steal from you while they perform the service you’re going to pay for. Ever. You should not be expected to take precautions. You should expect the employees to be decent people and not thieves.

And you do it right by emptying your car entirely before handing your car over to a business that should by all means be trustworthy?

That’s almost like blaming a rape victim for wearing a short skirt. A bit extreme of a comparison, but realistically you should be able to leave whatever you want in your car without…

Or maybe he counted it and left it because he didn’t want to carry 5 pounds of coins in his pocket.

The industry has a reputation. What’s the guy supposed to do, assume his mechanic (who he clearly has no relationship with) is an especially moral snowflake of a man? Say nothing and risk getting called a liar if he notices change missing later?

Ah I did not realize that. Inception quoting can confuse a person.
