It’s generalization from the self.  Liars think everyone lies, cheaters think everyone cheats, thieves think everyone would steal if they could get away with it.  And corporate executives think given a quarter of a chance people will fuck you any way they can-- because that’s their own mindset.

They’re people, not obstacles.

Well, of course, we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o’clock at night and lick the road clean with our tongues. We had two bits of cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at mill for sixpence every four years, and when we got home our Dad would slice us in two with a bread…

Luxury. We used to have to get out of th lake at six o’clock in the morning, clean th lake, eat a handful of ‘ot gravel, work twenty hour day at mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!

Your dad let you sleep?  Lucky bastard...

Shoebox? You were lucky we lived for three months in a rolled-up newspaper in septic tank, every morning we’d have to get up at 6 clean up th newspaper, eat a crust of stale bread, then work 14 hours tup mill day in day out for 6 pence a week then when we come home dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt.

You were lucky to have a lake! There were a hundred and fifty of us living in a shoebox in the middle of the road.

*slow clap*

That, sir, is how to tell a troll to eat shit. +1

These aren’t mutually exclusive, you judgmental ass. And i was trying to generate a bit of dark humor, but since that was obviously lost on you, let’s examine, shall we?

I have actually considered picking an i8 up off-lease as I really think they make a fair bit more sense than people give them credit for. People gripe on them because of so many stupid reasons; it doesn’t have enough power (not true); it’s a hybrid; it’s not fully electric; it doesn’t have a V8; blah blah blurgh. But…

One of the things I loved when I was looking for a C5 Corvette is nobody - effectively - seems to have ever drove them, as all the old guys think that a $10,000 C5 is somehow going to be worth money sometime soon. It’s very easy to find super low mileage cars dirt cheap (Mine was sub 36K miles with a six speed).…

Once the production kinks are worked out, Elon Musk is confident that Tesla can blow up 4,000 cars a month in China. 

You’d love BMW’s Atlantis Metallic

except if it’s Primrose Yellow on pretty much any British car, especially this one

2017 Abarth that my ENTIRE family and friend group hates! Giallo moderna perla...fuck your face.

I have no useful mechanical skills but I can bring you coffee and concerned sighs.

My dad bought it in ‘84 and drove it once. He passed in1984 and my brother and I passed it back and forth. It eventually became mine and my oldest son calls dibs on it, so in my lifetime, that’s forever

That’s how Comment of the Day works. The commenter above made this comment on the article about her stepping away from the driver’s seat, which we published today. It’s not a coincidence. 

Exotic? Why go down the beaten path of some hyper car that is too wide to park or drive when you can really standout with some class.

It’s not lying about the Daily Fail.
