I took out three mortgages to put a down payment on an Elio.

That means the value of the thing you’re paying off in this case a home or car is worth less than the balance of your loan.

the problem with the show is it upholds every mantra of the old version

The year is 1993 and my beloved Bronco/Motorcycle combo went missing. I know Justin took it while we were playing cars but I can’t prove it. The authorities wouldn’t help and offered to get me a new one, but they were no longer available. To this day it still pisses me off.

I’ve never had a car stolen, but is it bad to admit that every time I see a car idling away on its own that I want to jump in, drive it 5 blocks away and dump the keys down a storm drain?

I get a call at the office from my insurance company one day telling me that they’ve recovered my stolen car. I tell them they must be mistaken because I didn’t report a car stolen - then they begin to verify my information and it just starts crushing me as I realize it’s actually my car that was stolen the night…

That’s what I was referring to...must have been an old story for he was told it in 2002. Those pumps haven’t been around for ages.

Did you also know that in most major cities, if you stand by the side of the road in the breakdown lane you can easily be quickly run over & killed or seriously injured by inattentive asshole drivers ?? Try it some time, stupid !! You might even find some platinum whilst you wait for the meat-wagon, too ! Good luck w/…

Scrap. Probably $500-600 in metal right there.

Looks like it’s actually a 172,000 mile Honda, for what it’s worth. He just put 90,000 of those on it.

I’ve ordered one car, and it was a huge hassle. Dealers in the US are the ones with the instant gratification problem. They want you to remove a car from their lot that day rather than order you exactly what you want.

Agreed. I can never figure out why people want them in the first place. Do you leave your realtor’s sign in your yard? The walmart price sticker on your frisbee? The “Intel Inside” sticker on your laptop? No. Why advertise for a car company everywhere you go? And why advertise what engine it has in it?

I have grown a hatred for chrome trim all over the place. The badges just continue that trend. Escalades are some of the worst rolling glares waiting to happen.

Some Americans like to do their own re-badging.

There aren't too many people out there that can lift even a 400 lb. bike with just their arms and a crushed leg. Better lesson is to keep a cell phone near your hands if you're going out solo in rural areas.

Not a fair criteria. If you have your leg trapped it could be very hard to get the leverage to lift a bike even half that weight. Most people probably couldn’t get 200 pounds off their leg.

Toyota just put the blame on suppliers today/yesterday for some of their plants being temporarily closed.

AMX II, Cougar II, Bordinat Cobra (both based on Shelby Cobra 289 chassis and running gear, the Cougar with a brushed aluminum roof); VW Bluesport (without the diesel motor); Dodge Copperhead.

XP-833 aka Pontiac Banshee.

Concept vs reality lol
