Once you start hearing the stories from the other side of the counter, the counter jockey’s reaction to you starts to make sense. There’s a lot of jamokes walking into parts stores. You may not be one of them, but it’s hard to tell the difference.

lol Did they actually use the same exact car in both articles?

But which wore it better?

As if I needed another reason to stay away from showy cars. It’s embarassing enough when you scrape the side of your Outback. It’s whole other level when you do it in an NSX. You know, cause there’s a crowd and they all have their cameras out.

Clearly they’re simply interested in pursuing the niche pedo crowd. It’s an interesting tack, let’s see how it plays out for them /s

I’m generally in agreement with you and part of me wonders if I didn’t write this in my sleep. However, the industry as a whole has learned these lessons so it shouldn’t be that hard to draw upon that knowledge from people that have been in the field.

Right? I was a little surprised he didn’t just fab one up.

Damn, today you showed $kay up.

You’d start seeing and turning some interesting colors

The XC60 isn’t too much more than a QX50, and the XC40 is cheaper. Granted those are starting prices and I’m not sure which is the equivalent, but it seems like they’re in the same ballpark. The Porsche is another bump above the XC60 so it’s probably not a fair comparison.

More often than not it’s worked out that way for me. On the other hand, maybe the disasters I avoided could’ve led to something even greater. Come to think of it, my last disaster ended up being quite enjoyable...

You’re right. That is a smashing blue.

Welp, I’m mad. There’s some top notch colors in there.

Dealerships also don’t carry them, probably because they cost extra, yeah

I happened upon this one this morning, and now I must have it.
