Only if you submit yourself to that shit. You can always walk out the door.

I don't have to be as diplomatic as Tom does, the dealers don't respond to your absurdly low offers because you are wasting their fucking time. 

If you fill up once a week, that’s an extra $1,092 over three years.

I will say this, as I’ve said in a previous discussion about the online sales model:

New diversion? If you have kids at home, you generally have less time than ever before.

I like green. FCA calls this “Hills Green”. When I bought it, there was one other one within 500 miles, this one was 90 miles away. I was originally looking for yellow or orange, but this one was closer and priced right.

There she is, in all her manual, turbocharged, wagon-y glory. Anybody else getting on the obsessive car washing train?

My father in law is trying to help the cause!!!

Sometimes colors go away for reasons that are out of control. Remember the viper green of the Scirocco 3?
The plant that made the pigment used in that paint was apparently close to Fukushima when the incident occured there. Combined with the dwindling sales of the car VW could not be bothered to source another plant to…

Part of the backlash comes from the fact that Harley had someone, and a sub brand, in Erik Buell who could at least help them make a modern, high performance lineup that appeals to “the youths” while using off the shelf parts to save costs and development time. They had that, and then pissed all over everything Buell…

As someone who loves green, these charts sadden me greatly. Those poor bastards in South America don’t even have it on the chart! It’s a criminally underused colour, especially the bright shades. Extra dark forest green doesn’t count. Every car should have apple green as an option.

You’re at home. You and your family are stressed out over being 4 weeks into a shelter-in-place order. You filed for unemployment 2 weeks ago, with no real knowledge of when your job might return. You’re sound asleep, getting some much needed rest from the mounting anxiety of the whole situation...then BANG someone…

<flame suit on>

I’ve told myself I will not own another gray car, but sometimes the choice is limited. I really hope after the pandemic people will be looking for JOY again and colors will make a comeback.

Serious DUIs like this very often tend to be problem drinkers - people who are able to operate vehicles despite being intoxicated past the point an ordinary person would have trouble even getting the keys into the ignition or even be conscious.

It's safe to assume these people are fucking morons because they're acting like fucking morons. 

I agree.

The unfortunate reality is that unless you have a virtually unlimited fabrication budget (which if you did, you’d probably rather spend it on that Alfa, not some junker Mitsubishi AC Unit three-wheeler) you would probably need a mechanic who speaks Japanese in order to source parts since stuff like the windshield or…

I for one would welcome a return to the more reasonably priced offerings on BAT. Occasionally there are still some good deals that pop up, and the comments are still worth the read, but the “affordable” options are few and far between these days. I applaud the sellers who still take the risk of putting vehicles up…

Audi too. Fuck modernity.
