Not just mousebelts–TURBO mousebelts.

Can someone please explain the Macan to me? It’s tiny, has little room for passengers, and even less for stuff. I mean, it’s a vehicle that takes the “U’ out of “SUV”. And for the privilege of owning this thing we get to spend as much as the GDP of some third world country! And yet, here in Southwest Ct,. they are…

If you were the insurance adjuster, would you really want to spend all that money to repair the car, only to hand that car back to the owner who couldn’t make it to the nearest gas station to get it’s first fill up of premium without wrecking it?

The pressure was on and the mustang had to bail

If you look at the gif you’ll see this person in the fleece flying helmet gingerly poke their head over the hay-bale parapet. Not gingerly enough: the Mustang sees. IT SEES!

What the hell did they think would happen? Mustangs love hay.

I would help decide if there were a some method to, you know, tally my decision.  

Semi-Counterpoint.

It actually isn’t running a CVT. It has a manual gearbox that is operated by a teenager computer working with just a single clutch. The exhaust is good for 3-5 hp at the most. The extra weight shouldn’t be much of a problem; I often tow close to the fortwo’s own weight and it does it without a sweat. :)

You are assuming a Fiat product can have parts successfully unbolted and then re-bolted?

I know right? If only they could be somehow... oh I don’t know, unbolted and replaced.

This thing is a BASE BASE BASE model. I’ve seen similarly equipped ones in the 22-23 range around here new. I would be hard pressed not to spend another 3 grand on an un-farted in model.

“I have receipts totalling over $8800 spent on this old girl.”

Exactly!

More importantly, you NEVER get back the labor you paid for work done on the car. I’m not going to pay more because you can’t change clutch or exhaust.

“Legally drunk” means your blood alcohol content is over the limit, defined in the local laws, for drunkenness; it has nothing to do with the legality of the drinking that made it that way. She was 19, so her drinking was, in fact, illegal, and she was cited for such.

What is this? Carscoops? I thought jalopnik was better than othersites when it comes to silly renders.

Wouldn’t the redneck solution be to fire up the truck and let it roar once? The exhaust may have pushed her free :)

You can’t fix stupid, but you can sedate and intubate it.

She looks exhausted.
