how about after dealer markup? Am I looking at a $75K mazda? I’d rather just get a used porsche macan S with like 20K miles for cheaper. yes, you can find those.

the aforementioned top-of-the-line Turbo S

Asshole...like a fox!

Starred for your use of “dingus.”

Joke’s on them, I have a small dingus and exclusively drive hatchbacks. 

Honestly, that bit comes off almost like an insightful joke about how washed-up aging comedians try to stay relevant in 2023. “No one is laughing at my jokes. Maybe I should try saying hateful bullshit about trans people and liberals.” Just replace Jerry with Dave Chapelle or Louis CK and you’ve practically got a…

Not even deep down, honestly.

I think, deep down, we all knew this would eventually happen.

Toyota Solara. FUGLY, and drives like a pig, but there is no better family roadtrip car. Biggest back seat of any convertible and a massive trunk. And it’s a camry, they run forever. We had one for years and put huge miles on it. Winner, but do yourself a favor and get the 6 and not the 4.

I miss how my MK1 Audi TT felt on day one of ownership. But I do not miss anything after parts started failing. Still pretty to look at for sure!

I don’t know what the correct way to cleaner a slicer is but I do know that OSHA would not have approved of the way 16 year old me was taught to clean one years ago.

Entire exhaust from the cat back just a couple of weeks ago. It had gotten progressively louder over the week prior but I just figured it was a small rust hole in the cat that had gotten bigger. In fact it was the weld joining the pipe to the flange just behind the cat. Rolled over a speed bump in a parking lot and it…

Driving home from school with Dad in the early-80's in the old Bonneville. Nothing really going on then suddenly a dark streak flashed by the driver’s side window, kinda up and backwards. Before anyone could get out a “what the heck was that” CHUNKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK the front left suspension hits the asphalt…

one that you missed: Person behind you flashes their beams while you have your turn signal on —> It’s OK to merge in front of me.

A quick flash of the brights means there’s something ahed for them to pay attention to (usually a cop) if you’re moving or “go ahead and pull in front of me” if you’re stopped/slowed and they’re waiting to turn.

My buddy and I were taking our combined 3 kids to the local air show, blasing down the freeway at 120km/h, when the splash shield on the bottom of the engine fell right off our 2010 Tiguan. A rather surprising “ba-dum-bum” as the back wheels drove over it, and it was gone forever behind me in heavy traffic.

September, freshman year, heading from school on Lawn Guyland up to Binghamton for a friend’s party in my oh-so-lightly-used-and-lovingly-cared-for (snicker) ‘75 Monte.

I had a 1998 S-10 2 door, 2wd with the 4cyl that use for commuting. One day the three bolts holding the exhaust headers to the downpipe broke or shook loose. I was basically running straight pipe into the engine bay for the rest of the week until I could get it fixed. Made a ton noise but no extra power.

Wasn’t me but my father had a front brake caliper come off on the highway. Honestly I don’t remember anymore if it was still dangling or just gone completely but it made a hell of an unpleasant sound when it went AWOL. And I do still remember my dad being uncharacteristically concerned by the noise and the immediate…

I had a Fiero, this could get long. It was basically like Hansel and Gretel and you could trace my movement by a path of random parts that fell off it it.
