An ex of mine tried to teach English there and had to stop because she was utterly horrified by how much of this shit she saw and how normalized and accepted it was. Even in school settings. Male students were straight up allowed to assault female staff and werent expected to have any respect for their authority at…

Im not saying my experience makes me more of a car expert than them, Im saying it gave me insight into the sheer and utter stupidity off the masses that place such a high importance on CRs opinions. Im more of a car expert than CR because I once had a car poster on my wall, and thats all it takes.

Consumer Reports is wrong about damn near everything car related theyve ever said. The problem is, and I say this having worked as a car salesman for a couple years, the car buying public are complete fucking idiots who lap up CRs drivel like its the bible, and Tesla are right to speak out against them because their…

I taught myself to lucid dream without any crackpot theories about Astral travel or whatever the hell someones acid trip told them it was, and I do it all the time. It’s just a level of semi consciousness

My favorite thing in Civ 5 was the modded historical game speed where the games and buildings took marathon time but units took standard, so my legionnaires weren’t obsolete by the time I built 3 of them. I quit playing 6 because it wasn’t possible to do that. Has that changed yet?

So he paid for it’s restoration

You’re completely wrong about it tearing up the road. It has rubberized track that distributes the 66000 lbs of the tank over a large area resulting in a ground pressure of 13.7 psi, less than half of the pressure a normal car puts on the road. Yes, it’s 103 inch width is more than a normal vehicle, but an 80 inch…

Electric cars and hybrids reached the point where they don’t have to suck 5ish years ago, and now they’re getting good in the 35k range. We’re one technological advancement in batteries away from them making ICE cars irrelevant anyway. Small high strung turbo engines paired with electric torque should easily be able…

I think the two most important things you can do if you want to handle ordering your car yourself are: Go to the highest volume dealership in the area. You might be neighbors with Joe Blow Backwoods Ford and think you can get a great deal from him, but that giant mega mall dealership gets all the allotments and will…

Additionally, there would be all sorts of deductions to your per unit pay. Had to come down off the list price to get the sale? Percentage of that is coming out of your check. Get 1 bad survey in 3 months because the finance or aftermarket person did something the customer wasnt happy with, so they gave a 9 on the…

I worked at a Ford dealership that was bought by Autonation while I was there. Being successful when you start as a salesperson is very unlikely. The pay system was based on how many units you sold rather than a commission based on a share of the profit. Base pay was 1500 a month. Base pay per car was 200, meaning…

I could tell you how a lot of the FOBs in Afghanistan that are named after people got their names, but then Id wind up finishing this bottle of tequila and I have to work in the morning.

Not to mention they actually install truck nutz without realizing how fucking pathetic they are.

Anything Toyota or Honda. Oh wait, thats not irrational. Toyotas interiors suck ass, the almost tolerable GT-86 is a gimmick whose only trick is shittacular tires, and Priuses clog the left lane of every freeway in America. Then youve got Honda, whose designers think we live in the 80s Robocop universe, churning out…

In the movie, Uma Thurman drives a Citroen DS Cabriolet that had been converted to electric drive.

Wrong. Put the goddamn cheese in the burger because Minnesota.

Citroen DS. Then Id drive it til it got problems again, and turn it into a Tesla DS, because Gattaca.

It takes a squires help to get it on and off. Hes not getting out of that lake on his own unless he hits the bottom and walks out before he drowns.

The reason its like that is because back then, the show was still animated by hand rather than computer. Nobody in the North Korean animation prisons knew what a space shuttle or any spacecraft looked like until they found a copy of Oui in the woods, and thats what they used.

After I quit working at a car dealership a couple years ago, I got suckered into doing this for people too. Pulled off a miracle for a couple friends, and now Im that car guy everybody that knows me goes to. I dont charge anyone because I enjoy it, but I maintain my sanity by having a a rule: under no circumstances…
