“If only I had been a really useful engine”

One of my life goals is to amass a small collection of 181s, daily-drive them whenever possible, and then, one sunny Saturday morning, proudly announce to the world that I am going to

With dent? Or without dent? Therein lies your answer.

 I’ve been told by several people who work in the industry is that the manufacturer basically sees it as 10 (best score) or nothing. They don’t really look at the scores in between.

If you’d ever worked in a field more useful than fast food, maybe you wouldn’t be such a dickhead about screwing over someone who works for a living by putting all 0's on a CSI survey. Go fuck yourself.

As a dealership employee who’s pay is affected by surveys let me tell you a few things that absolutely piss me off:

From the California DMV Handbook:

If you changed lanes and forced someone to slow down, it can be considered an unsafe lane change/failure to yield. I was in the car when my friend got a ticket and that was what was explained to him.

This is why I come to Jalopnik.

I died at Blacksmith TheBlacksmith Open

Can i be a trans-species person? Like i am biologically a human, but i really feel like im a dog. If i start acting like a dog in my real life will people accept me or make fun of me? Im pretty sure even some transgender people would make fun of me. I dont feel like i am human, but more canine.

Close to the same thing. An AWD safari van, rope and at first a snow tube. We were camping in a state park and got hit with a massive lake effect snow. Park rangers were not pleased and asked for us to stop tubing behind the van.

I know that scent. That is the world’s most wonderful scent ever. Forget vanilla. Forget Christmas trees. Forget roses and all that shit. This scent that you speak of is the seat stuffing . It’s the smell of every old Audi and Volkswagen on the planet and it melts my air cooled heart.

Buick did that quite well. Comparing these two ads, I’d rather own the Buick.

That’s why there is a Subaru version of this car.

If a clothing company released a “James May” collection I’d honestly feel obligated to buy a couple of shirts when I’m about to do some particularly pedantic or boring technical task.

Fuck off. The amount of art we would have to discard, if we were to discredit those who harboured beliefs we today find abhorrent today, would leave us artistically barren the world over.

Has anybody done a study to see the environmental effect of building new cars vs letting these gross poluters stay on the road ?

I’m not sure what to do with this. I sympathize, and know that this hits close to home for you. I will always use preferred pronouns when applicable, but gendered pronouns based on sex are not incorrect. Chelsea is biologically male.

Indeed. I <3 Team Jalopnik.
