I’m at the point now....having been a mechanic all my working life and a cook (not professionally) most of my life, that as far as burns go...it rarely happens. I can accidently dunk a finger in hot oil or drag it briefly across a searing hot pan and not suffer more than a quick, superficial sting. I haven’t got a…

I love the underappreciated 07K. I had an intake manifold and tune and exhaust on mine in my ‘07 Rabbit. Wasn’t the fastest my a long shot but it sounded incredible and was a nice, reliable daily.  I regret selling that thing.  The turbo variant in the RS3 and TTRS is awesome and built like a tank.

My girlfriend got a better, higher paying job that’s 100% remote, then just sold her 2021 Elantra Limited to Carmax for enough to be $3k shy of paying off her loan. She got a small personal loan to do that and cancelled the extended warranty to get her loan paid off....then she cashed out part of her 401K to buy a…

I had one of the beef ones the other day. Of course at the ghetto ass Arby’s near me, the shake machine wasn’t working. They were just going to let it go with a “sorry” and absolutely nothing to rectify the issue but I insisted they at least sub the absent shake with an order of fries.     The sandwich was OK.  Not…

My usual modification go-to for a new car after maintenance and preventative maintenance follows: 1. Suspension improvement, 2. Better tires and/or wheels, 3. mild power modification like a tune, 4. upgrade the shifter with better bushings or a short throw kit. My general goal is to make the most of my money and…

So my takeaway from this is that this has only became an issue because some prick decided to try to game the thing by ordering a ton of bullshit for free....as usual, there’s always some asshole trying to get over. Once someone was asked to pay more money for someone else, theeeenn it became “an issue we need to…

Popeyes chicken sandwich is miles better in every way to Chick Fil-A

They just incurred a dumbass tax.   Not your problem. 

The one by me is a right turn into a shopping center and then around into the Chick Fil-A lot. I’ve seen it backed up into the main 4 lane road. People who happen to be driving and have no desire to get into the Chick Fil-A line just see the green light and nobody moving and wonder why there’s a long line just sitting…

People who brake too much are a huge red flag to me. If you leave a reasonable distance and don’t drive like a jackass, you hardly ever have to use your brakes unless you actually need to stop. People who use brakes too much show me that this person lacks situational and spatial awareness, patience and can be…

“Marlene”  The Dollar Tree Christine. 

Definitely not. I had a 2021 Malibu as a rental car and it somehow felt like it was from 2011. An awful CVT transmission. It got off the line OK but trying to pass someone at speed just made the RPMs fly to 5K and more noise while I was barely able to accelerate. Also, one of the worse infotainment systems ever.....it…

Any boring, milquetoast, anonymous, Target mom, GM crossover. They’re the rice in the automotive burrito. Filler to drive around on a morning commute and fill up Bath and Bodyworks parking lots. The most NPC vehicles to exist...piloted by palette swapped programmed routines designed to be in front of you in line at…

I had one as a rental in Orlando....it beat walking...barely. 

Why introduce nuance for rational discussion when you can have snarky one-liners to pwn your opponent?

Have to stay ahead of the enem...er civilians.

He’s going to say he supports anyone who he believes will be polarizing enough to give D the L in 2024. 

Tony Dalton is amazing. He’s classically charming, almost an Errol Flynn vibe, with a glimmer of evil just under the surface. I felt like he should have had a bigger presence in the show since they were alluding to him being a big bad. His turn to be actually a good guy was clumsy as well...only to leave him…

Tesla and Elon’s fucking up. The bad PR about taxes, the awkward and cringe memes from a grown ass man, the quality issues, inadequate brakes on an overpowered vehicle, and scammy business practices like this.

I always thought Tokyo Drift was one of the best ones. Han and the Yakuza stuff, the focus on the cars. I kinda enjoyed the fish out of water angle. I loved how they actually showed the Mustang unfinshed, driving around being tested.
