True that. VW reliability regularly drives people into a life of crime.

I used to hitchhike in junior high and high school in the 80's — I know, wtf, right? It started as a joke: Standing at the bus stop circa 1984, I heard a Ferrari V8 (‘cause Jalop) and stuck out my thumb for a laugh. It’s a rossa corsa Mondial Cab and....

There was a sweet delivery service in LA back in the 80's-90's called Pink Dot — They’d bring you 12 packs, cigarettes, groceries, snacks, etc. Judging by the now-legendary stories, easily half of their drivers were also dealing weed and coke.

Have smoked weed for 35 years; I had no idea! Plainly, he didn’t either.

Yup. 2001 E46 wagon had no aux. Didn’t find this until just before I sold it. 

LOL! Old people cars gotta play “Soundtrack to Cats” and Enya, y’know.

I consult on this shit and do demography, targeting, etc.; Gens are a bit of a manufactured crap-shoot, obviously, but it’s mostly accepted that 15 or 20 years (depending on parameters) are the proper bookends. We generally use:

And miss out using one of these totally awesome Porsche tape holders that you push and it “serves” your tape up?!

What a weird car — I remember how Ford was like “well, the strut towers don’t fit under the body; I guess we’ll just put some dents in the hood and call it a day.” But oh, that Aiwa; Lots of memories of those.

We made or bought tapes, sometimes 120 minute ones, then played them on crappy Jensen or Audiovox “tape decks” (fancy kids got Alpines). You could get classic rock tapes like Hendrix or Black Sabbath at gas stations for like ~$5-6, which was quite on-brand for our then-cheap hooptie muscle cars...

My blessed adapter got me and my ‘87 Integra through the ‘90's and into my first iPod. Last year, I gave it to a buddy for his O.G. ‘93 Saab 900 Convertible (bought new!) and was promptly elevated to Super Best Friend.

A very good high school friend just got doxxed for sending/posting mountains of crap like this and, dude, that shit was horrifying. Next-level misogyny, actual threats, astounding racism, the works. Friend-be-gone.

I am now actually nauseous. Like, really. Whew, breeeeeeathe Cheesewhiz...

Similar here, though w/sour cream, chives, and chopped bacon (when I ate meat) all mixed in w/some herbs.

Weird, I saw more of a soft-serve poo-dong.

“IT’S A LIB WAR ON [insert preposterous thing here]!”

Ehhhh, no, it was never marketed as such. Initially, it was a mid-twenty-something to mid-30's target. I’d very much argue the young mother thing too, particularly given the difficulty for child seats, etc. — It’s generally a young person’s car now but it’s really just a small van so the practical appeal is pretty…

And therein lies the problem. I’m fully down with EV’s but such slow emergency charging does create a problem when confronted with Fires, blackouts, earthquakes, locusts, zombies, end times, etc.

Everyone’s making mini-RV’s out of ‘em now (for which they are awesome). Sadly, that keeps prices high — $7k minimum for a decent one, IMHO.

Ah, I remember as well. I had a beer-money-sucking Rabbit GTI freshman year (legendarily unreliable). Then I saw the light and found “the (college student) answer”:
