Alanis, there is a great youtube video compilation of Kimi’s... least emotional and most emotional moments. If you just search “F1 Kimi” there is comedy gold to be found.

I just skimmed, but I think it was about Pele’s presentation

Fair enough. I also despise uninsured motorists, everyone else ends up paying for them... you can bet the insurance companies aren’t losing any money about it haha.

I get it. I think about retirement a lot and I’d love to retire young enough to still be able to do things (especially watching my Dad retire at 66 with a bad back, numb legs, etc and he can’t enjoy vacations anymore since he wants to go surfing and can’t).

That’s true, but when I was a kid no way I was getting any brand new car, safe hatchback or otherwise haha.

Kind of odd that someone who might not be able to afford insurance is punished by a monetary fine, blocked ability to drive to work, and triple insurance rates (that they couldn’t afford to begin with). Reminds me of the Michigan state “trapped in a cycle of debt” parking ticket thing.

I think I have a pretty decent job and I’d never lease a car at $520/mo, even if I could afford it that’s a crazy expenditure for the average person. I buy my cars in full but if I had to have a monthly, I’d be looking at 250-300 maximum.

My mom had an Acura TL with cloth seats in the late 90s. It really was a unicorn, I think it may have been a dealer demo.

I don’t think a FWD 4-door hatchback will eat the sales of a RWD 2-door coupe...

I hope that no one believes that gas emissions have no effect on the environment - I think what’s happening here is feigning ignorance... kind of like when you get pulled over and you say “I don’t know how fast I was going, Officer.”

A few others have mentioned this, but you can use a website like vindecoderz which usually pulls up all of the original factory options. Depending on the car model, you may have to do some extra digging to find out what the options mean or whether they matter to you - for example I got a used Porsche 987 this year and…

Snow day and no Audi Quattros? This is my choice for sure. Until it gets rusted out.

I’ve always wanted a Brat but that price is ridiculous, especially for a modded/off-roaded/dirty one (however clean it looks in the pics, I can only imagine what this vehicle has been through).

I’m 28 and I like dominos. I wouldn’t say I’m a simpleton, but with a coupon Dominos is $6 and the average local pizza place is $14-18 for the same size and toppings. Sure the local place tastes better, but double to triple the price better?

That’s true. I talked with someone who warped his rotors on one of these, it was a lease so it didn’t really matter to him but kind of scary to think about.

That’s an interesting job. Do you have to travel out to inspect these things or have apps/videos taken most of that over for you, except specific situations?

If you slap a tune on that Raptor it’ll make 100+ more whp (on premium gas) too. The extra torque might be overkill for off-roading but still a lot of fun

I think you’re wrong but hey, what I think is art is subjective

I’ve seen many of these with heavy rust issues, it’s also possible the one you saw had some structural rust you couldn’t really see and it just snapped on impact.

Wow that’s awesome
