I’m the same way about Octopus. They’re too smart to be food.

I usually just tip whatever the freebie would’ve cost (approximately) - 10 dollar appetizer? Add 10 dollars to the tip.

The front clip was repainted 3-4 times, would be peeling again by the time I got it home, then I had a input shaft bearing fail at 8k miles. The dealership, and an engineer sent there by fiat both concluded that the noise was normal. Clutch in, no noise. Clutch out, rythmic grinding you could feel through the shifter

It’s very Italian, as in, you like something for it’s qualities, but you love it for it’s flaws. I had an Abarth that I loved, it was the only small car that had enough headroom for me (6'3" and all torso). The driving position was.... odd, but kinda fun in a “It corners really well I feel like I’m going to fall out

worked with a dude that had one, he put exhaust on it and the once a month he drove it to work it sounded awesome.

wasn’t that the t1200?

I dunno - there’s not a lot of music made these days that I feel like I’ll listen to over and over again justifying the point of the purchase. Anything I really really like I’ll buy (or already own, probably on vinyl because I’m a dork) but Spotify is like the sample stands at Costco, you can sample a few things and

it looks like one of those home grown chinese SUV’s that couldn’t decide who to emulate, so they did all of them.

It’s not a matter of power, it’s moving 3 times more weight than it was intended to that would probably be the issue. A sport tourer engine though, already shaft drive, would

I think it already has electric reverse too.

hah yeah, it *might* be an FZ1, but not a healthy one lol.

that’s a shootin’

I wonder about a smart car with the 6 cylinder from a Honda Goldwing though :D that would be pretty fun, and it’d be more than up to the rigors of throwing around some weight.

If that engine’s from an FZ1 it’s not sounding so hot :|

“Set aside half for taxes” - and “don’t pay a few thousand dollars a month for an apartment you’re never at”.

ahah - I closed the tab with the video playing and the sound is still looping in my browser... gets funnier every loop

Yeah it’s probably regional, I don’t bat an eye at exotics, teslas everywhere, but seeing an old american iron in good shape is a treat.

Was the altima SER much different from the slightly older v6 altimas? I’ve seen several but I thought it was just a bit of plastic cladding for styling. Was there much of a functional difference?

It might’ve been neat the first few times, but it’s like having a song you’re ok with playing every 10 minutes on the radio - like, come on guys, enough. Play something else. Maybe it’s regional, but when new there were tons of them, and now that 350's and G35's are dirt cheap used, they’ve all been hacked apart by
