Thank you, yes - this is obviously a soup spoon to anyone with even the slightest grasp of culinary hardware. Hamilton is not only whining about an obvious first-world problem (‘Wah! The free spoon they gave me isn’t perfect! Wah!’) he’s also an idiot. 

Nothing threatens the tax-free status of a church because the statute outlining that status is so incredibly broad as to be almost meaningless. In the entire history of the US only one church has ever had it’s status revoked. Even the blatantly parasitic Church of Scientology managed to get themselves declared…

Bullshit this was ever intended as satire or parody. Pathetic little shitstains like this always fall back on the ‘it was just a joke, bro!’ excuse when they accidentally speak their minds and get clapped back for it. The classic ‘sorry you were offended’ non-apology is all the confirmation you need that this cumrag…

My favorite is this one:

The engine and transmission aren’t the issue - they’ll probably be good for another few thousand miles if they’ve made it this far. The issue is more things like brakes, heater, AC, windows, lighting systems, electrical gremlins, etc. I can see dropping $1k on this and treating it as disposable, but the second…

This. I’d walk into this expecting half a dozen minor systems to be glitchy at best and malfing completely at worst. I’d suspect there are a bunch of other issues somewhere that are likely to fail any day now. I’d also expect to drive it right through any non-catastrophic failure as it’s the definition of ‘beater.’ I…

That’s Fred Astaire.

Stats don’t exactly back that up your ‘vast majority’ claims - Mini’s have had consistently average or above-average reliability since the first few years. Over the last few years reliability has improved dramatically: http://www.motoringfile.com/2018/02/06/new-mini-reliability-good-dealers-service-departments-struggli…

Your mileage may vary, but in my experience Mini owners are highly satisfied and haven’t had these issues. I’ve had two Mini convertibles and I’ve never had a serious issue in over 8 years of ownership. The worst was a malfing neutral safety switch which cost less than $100 to replace, the second worse was a dying…

Ah, I see your error, kid. When I was a wee lad my dad addressed the problem of our 1970-something Dodge Aspen Wagon rusting like the POS Chrysler that it was. There were big chunks of the hood and front fenders that were nothing but crumbly red dust, so he got some chickenwire, folded it a few times and molded it…

What is this truck for? It’s too old and underpowered to be useful as a working truck and you can buy newer, better, safer, more powerful and more fuel-efficient trucks any day for $15k or less. Is it a show vehicle? It’s not that rare or that unusual and it’s not pristine enough to be a full restomod award-winner…

I haven’t driven a Model 3, but I did test drive an early Model S and it is simply the best car I’ve ever driven. It’s incredibly solid in the way it drives due to its low center of gravity and it handles like it’s glued to the road. The power is silent, instant and it feels like you have warp speed on tap. No gears,…

I’m a Mini fan and I drove a 2005 convertible for several years and I’m voting a reluctant CP on this one. The car itself is fine, but I’m seeing lower-mileage 2004 Mini’s for less online. The ‘special’ aspects of this particular edition aren’t that special and unlikely to be appealing to anyone who’s not a true Mini…

Yes, the Fit ticks all the boxes and will still be running in 25 years.

You missed the part where he specified nothing from VAG. He’s obviously been burned by their legendarily poor reliability. I fully agree with him; after owning only one VW myself I will never touch another VAG product in my life.

My dad would terrify me by screaming about every single thing he thought I was doing wrong. If I wasn’t moving fast enough the moment the light changed he’d say “Give it some gas. Some gas. GAS. GAS! GASSSS!” all in less than a second. My mom would give out great gasps of terror and yell at me to “look out for that…

Your constitutional rights aren’t being infringed; you can have as many long arms as you want. What’s being stated in this article is that you don’t NEED a handgun. If you want to get all whiny about whether or not you should have the freedom to buy any type of ‘arm’ you’d like, please explain why you’re not allowed…

Yep. If you’re afraid of being attacked in your home get a big dog. It will also protect you while you’re out walking. It’s mere presence will scare off 95% of your potential assailants: unless they specifically want to target you, there are easier pickings. Hell, most assailants are going to think twice about…

I’m in a heavily urban center of a very liberal state and the only people who actually need to own guns are LEOs and hunters who travel elsewhere to hunt deer or whatever. I’m not particularly concerned about long arms, but anyone with a pistol who is also not a LEO is suspect to me. Either you have someone who needs…

Its a truism that the assholes screaming loudest against the gays are the ones that desperately want to suck cock. The denial and self loathing comes off of them in almost visible waves. Yet somehow thousands of (mostly religious) people listen to them, believe them, make them rich and help them destroy lives. They…
