And there isn’t even a protective cage around the propeller of my example--chop those kids’ hands off!

Pierre, I would like to move inefficiently, but also be able to slice my baguette. Any ideas?

You beat me to it:

What was it about French and prop powered vehicles?

First gear. At what point does “circling the drain” become “orbiting the drain”?  Fisker has been circling the drain for so many years, I think it might have a stable orbit now.

It’s an awful color and looks awful on the GX as well. Plus every clean GMT800 I come across on fb marketplace is fucking pewter....or a C5 vette.

I feel like the Golf R thing is at least a bit regional, I swear up in the Toronto area, Golf R’s are all driven by guys who know who Dinosaur Jr is, and frankly all look a bit like J Mascis if he were a middle-aged professional.

I’ve seen worse. My first flight post Covid had a highlight of a guy without a mask being frog-marched through the Charlotte airport. He didn’t have a mask, was wearing a hat supporting a certain political candidate and screaming about Nazis taking over the world and accusing the black cop as being a white supremist.

Well considering most people are assholes the low-hanging fruit is “every car.”

Anything with a crackle/pop tune. The most common offenders by me are BMW 3 series who just endlessly accelerate and slam on the brakes for maximum pop. Good amount of WRXs too. As an old man now, there seems to be a new scene in the WRX world where the ideal is to not have a clean and nice appearing car, but to have…

But.... Hear me out on this. In high school I owned a 1988 Celica. It was a deep metallic blue. When it was clean it was gorgeous. But then it again it looked “clean” for about 10 minutes. Any dust, dirt, water splashes- anything showed immediately. I traded it in on a new 1996 Tacoma and got it in a sort of sand…

Squatted trucks. I don’t need to say anymore.....

One thing I’ve learned in my tenure owning a Gen1 Honda Insight (which I’m currently selling), that car is for enthusiasts only at this point. Parts availability issues make it very frustrating to keep G1s on the road. They’re extremely cheap to buy, and people buy them to save money, so most of them have had a lot of…

Could it be said that the same type of idiot that liked the G35/37 coupe also went for the Hyundai Genesis Coupe? Even John Krafci, the USA Hyundai president and CEO at the time, claimed it was built “...to deliver a driving experience that challenges cars like the Infiniti G37". So, are the Genesis Coupe drivers…

The Nissan Altima is the obvious answer, but there’s another that I’ve observed in my commute: Dodge Chargers. They’re getting up there in years and don’t hold value. As a result, they’re landing in buy-here pay-here lots and being snatched up by idiots. 

I’d get out my dremel and frost the wheels. ;)

If everything checks out, you could have a comfy, bulletproof, just-modern-enough cruiser with 150-200K left in it, given proper care. It’s the Bay area, and to my knowledge, still a seller’s market for used cars. Contrarian NP.

Black Market For Sketchy Tunes

What would prevent some eco-conscious individual from purposefully putting bad tunes out there...asking for a friend of course.

I hope every single diesel pickup that these tunes go in to completely destroys their engines. Few things are worse than financing a new engine on a currently financed diesel pickup.
