how many cars have you been given?!?

reading this article, i realized that i can’t remember what i paid for my second car. but i remember all the rest. it was the first vehicle i financed through a bank, and purchased without my parents help, so i think i was mostly overwhelmed with the process...

about $50k, soon to be $80k, and barring any circumstances, is planned to stay that way for at least 15 years.

GM also had Quadrasteer in the early 2000's on their pickup trucks. it sold poorly, and was expensive to maintain.

can we get a list of things that aren’t illegal to have/do with a car?  at the rate of the laws these days, it seems like it would be shorter.  almost short enough to fit in a slide show.

i’m totally sane.  my in-head psychiatrist told me so.

the week i decide to sell it.

those damn analog ballast gauges!

if it hasn’t happened in the last month on facebook, it has never happened.

yeah, but this is exactly the 10 year story on how my local racetrack got shut down.

my cars can’t function without a “TOP 10 MUST-HAVE-THINGS TO BUY FOR YOUR CAR, YOU WON’T BELIEVE NUMBER 2!” slideshows. it just refuses to start until i bring in that ad revenue.

the rocket scientist that prioritizes getting paid over doing anything of value.

look, if i’m buying a car with a specific feature, i expect to use that specific feature anytime i want, however i want.

doesn’t matter.  in this case, it’s ballast.

you can’t just scrap a car chassis without legal documentation. but you can scrap parts of a chassis.

love the exterior.  hate the interior.

that sounds like what i was fighting with 5 years ago the last time i bought a vehicle, so what’s changed?

none.  im a perfect driver.  just like my grammer.

i think the ven diagram of the people that know it’s a flower vs the people that think of using a broom handle a specific way would be pretty clear cut.
