The Aston is gorgeous. I like the AlphaTauri but the Alpine squeaks by it for me but only just.

Nothing wrong with that. I got an Elantra with all the features I wanted for under 19000 a little over 2 years ago that will carry me until I completely get out of debt in the next 2 years. Sure it’s not exciting but I’ve got plans and to meet them I have to drive an economical car that isn’t exciting. The horror!…

Yup! I have a friend in Texas who was going through a tough time and had 3 kids to raise. She needed a reliable car to get to work and school but she kept buying cheap used cars and since she could barely afford the car she obviously couldn’t afford the repairs. She finally bought a lightly used Mirage for crazy cheap…

Exactly! My ma and sister got it and luckily it was mild but they’re not walking around like Covid ain’t shit. I’ve been able to avoid catching it (knock on all the wood) and I’m not trying to risk catching it. But my cousins because they got it are like shit is cool come over if you want. Naw fam, see you in the…

Yo I hate that shit so much! “It’s not that bad” is one of the most aggravating things I hear from people who were lucky to catch a mild case.

we should hopefully be looking at a far less disease-ridden summer than the last one.

A running 68 (maybe 69 or maybe a 71, as time passes I forget but it was a decent condition one) VW bus that needed some nicer wheels/tires for 2,500 in 1998... Because the one I really wanted had gotten sold and teenage me was upset that I wasn’t going to get the color I wanted because the seller had been offered…

Android auto/carplay. Everything in one place and once my music is set I can switch over to Waze and get to where I’m going. I only wish my car had the wireless version but hey at least my phone is always charged.

Thanks for this info. Every time I see analysts say something I’m always like but how full of shit are they. Now I know.

Neutral:

This is pretty cool. I just read up on how they retrofit the RMS St. Helena to be more efficient and to make it release fewer emissions. It’s also cool that they’re going to have a hydroponics system so they can grow their own herbs.

Still hilarious all these years later 

They tried this on me when I bought my first new car. The finance guy must have seen a young idiot and thought cha ching. I told him no I’ll take the lower rate without the warranty and he hemmed and hawed and I got up to leave before he said let me have a word with the manager blah blah blah crap. He came back and…

Oh the same thing happened to me! I stayed at my friend’s place upstate and when everyone went to bed it was pitch black and eerily silent. It was unnerving.

I used to live in Queens for 13 years and lived a mile a parkway and at first the noise was unbearable because it was just motorcycles and cars making passes at night. But after a week or two it became normal and was definitely a sound I got used to and almost enjoyed. When I moved back to the suburbs it was…

I can say it. I hate the way it looks from the front and every other angle

I used to put wiper blades up but I don’t anymore. I didn’t notice much of a difference so I stopped. By the time I get to cleaning around my wiper blades my car has already been on and is warming up my windshield which in turn warms up my wiper blades which means no blades frozen to windshield. I’m not worried about…

It’s the finance guy every fucking time. I negotiated and got the price I was comfortable with in less than an hour and that included the test drive where they had to pull the car out from behind a few SUVs. A little over 2 hours after that point I was driving home because of the finance guy. They make you wait in…
