ohhh my god. You made my day.

this joke really seems to have... flown under the radar

I think your point about how much it seems like someone *values* their car is a good one. (and the parking job is also an excellent indicator/warning for potential door carelessness)

tidbits like this are the reason I read internet comments tbh. I love when minutiae pop up in casual conversation

I could be way, way off here (so take this with a grain of salt) but I think the torque curve of an electric motor tends to drop off quite a bit at higher rpms, whereas the ‘bug is almost ALL top end (so it doesn’t really start picking up steam until the end of the run)

To be fair I think of most VAG products as a gigantic Golf...

This. Besides, snow could very well become a thing of the past here in the next few decades😓

Even if Ballaban really DID just read the wikipedia article about nukes yesterday he’s still demonstrating more knowledge of the subject than our president-elect, and that should be troubling regardless of where you stand on the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

I hadn’t ever thought of it like this but you make a good point

As a Volkswagen owner/apologist, I can confirm this works

This is my favorite comment

I fucking love Svetlana–total underrated badass.

“But I didn’t want to have to pay for a tow!! That’s expensive!11¡!1!!”

I don’t *quite* agree with this analysis but damn if it ain’t funny

Holy shit that was clever

Nah, you’re good. I just thought it was a funny interjection/tidbit thing

+1 for “I’m no automotive aerodynamicist (wait, yes I am)“

Porsches are surprisingly reliable (at least in the realm of German performance cars)
