And the trunk seems a little short so my first impression was an 80's New Yorker BUT after seeing the plastic clip have a manufacture date in the 90's, I feel like a ‘92 Mercury Cougar would fit the bill.

Soooo... I’m a huge VW fan and love my GTI... but I think you explained that perfectly. It’s good at what it’s meant to do (honestly, kind of like most cars out today, I’d say) but if that’s not your thing, you won’t like it. I don’t really autocross at all and I do a lot of highway driving with the occasional…

I think you hit the nail on the head. Both sides might just be taking things a little too far. It’s wrong to shame someone for looking a certain way but that doesn’t make not caring about your health (not that anyone “plus-sized” is that way simply because of diet. Genetics, conditions, etc. could play into it) a…

Never really heard of that definition for a sedan but that’s interesting. I wonder if that technically means 4 door coupes could be a legitimate thing that isn’t just marketing if we’re going by your definition, then! Definitely something to think about.

I like your style. Haha. The Westy makes sense. Is it possible that the fun car is an old “muscle car” with a V6?

Edit: Just read below and realized I wasn’t totally off I guess on the fun car, depending on your definition of muscle car.

“Name one.”
“Ok, here.”
“Well, whatever, that’s just one.”
... Bruh...

Also, APR, Unitronic, pretty sure Mountune for Fords, it’s pretty common to get way more than 10% so your point still stands. Best part is, you don’t really need to pollute more to feel and go fast anymore.

Before I reply, I should say that I am in fact a man so perhaps I just see it differently but I didn’t find that he was being sexist. I believe he was simply projecting his own experience with his cousin (male or female), *his* wife (which would explain the “5 years” addition instead of just saying “since you started…

A Ghost, if you will.

Haha, thanks for not making too much fun of me for the insanity. It was an odd day at work and I wrote it in spurts so I didn’t realize how long it turned out until I was done.

Regarding the phrase... uh, no, I doubt it! Haha, sorry about that!!! No disrespect intended, it was just the first thing that came to mind.…

Hey, thanks! I feel like in general I write too much and bore people to death halfway through. Glad you found it informative. I’d like to address some of your points and something you said below with my experience, if that’s alright. I am really sorry in advance for the long post. Didn’t realize I wrote so much.

I do…

It’s much bigger inside than a lot of the competition and it feels like it, too. The seats do fold down nicely. When I test drove it (albeit for a very short spurt), power felt adequate off-the-line but I can imagine it gets a bit wheezy on the highway. I really like the Atlas and feel that the Launch Edition with the…

Good to hear!! :)

Hahaha! Reminded me of a Dave Chappelle kit about white supremacists outside of his home and I changed it a bit for this: “Hi, 911. How are ya? There’s a fire that’s consuming everything in sight over here and it looks like it means business... I gotta go...”

I think most people don’t care about speed until you experience it... and then it’s really hard to go back. Bikes are in another league when it comes to speed because “slow” is still fast and it really throws off your perception of what is “normal.” Ride safely and please don’t ever forget your helmet!!

That’s awesome! Honestly, the mobile home has been nice because it was old and I had to fix a lot but because it’s simpler (almost like a Hyundai Accent of the home world, if you will), it’s a little easier to learn how systems are put together so I’ve become a decent handyman in the process! The only thing that’s…

Have a great rest of your day!! :)

While I’m sorry about the circumstances, that’s beautiful. I’m glad you were able to spend that bit of time together. I’m working out immigration documents to hopefully be able to travel with my wife. First place I want to go is back to my birthplace so she can meet the whole family and so that I can see my…

Thanks for the honest reply. I guess perception is reality. I know I’ve had people judge me for things when they don’t know my situation. I own a mobile home outright which is more than good enough space for my wife and I so I can afford to splurge on stupid stuff other people wouldn’t. Without knowing that fact…

I’m sorry to hear that!! I sincerely hope you don’t put that on yourself, though. You could never know. All you can really do is to make sure you never make the important things in life (and honestly, to me, family is all that could take up that spot) wait. Life is too precious for that. I wish you well!

Another Internet random here. Not sure why someone else got on your case but for the most part, I’ve never found you to be rude. I hope you don’t mind me saying but the first posts I came across of yours, I thought you were bragging about all the cars you had and I got a negative image of you/your personality. I’ve…
