I am looking for a new (or used) commuter car. I want something that is cheap ($10-15k), relatively fast (0-60 under 6 sec), prefer manual transmission, prefer RWD, needs to get about 20mpg. Oh, yeah... needs to fit 5. I’ve got three kids (no more car seats, thankfully).

In Land Rover years, it’s ancient. 

How did someone decide their Land Rover was a good Uber vehicle ? If you’re doing Uber, please buy a Corolla or Civic and save yourself the expensive repairs and gasoline bills. Use the profitable gains to fund an actual project or fun car which doesn’t involve transporting common folks. I wouldn’t trust a Land Rover…

Yes - now that you mention it, maybe the driver in the Millenia didn’t realize we were racing either.

I think its interesting how people are playing it off, because the value of what he stole isnt valued that much. Imagine having someone come to your house and start stealing fuel from a tank you had in the back for fueling your cars, tractors or if someone started syphoning gas from your car.

No, you A-L-W-A-Y-S call the police first; before doing anything else. Produces immediate documentation of the time you called, whom you spoke with, and your immediate side of the story before a patrol officer arrives. This is in ANY situation with another party.

The thing that stands out to me is the assertion that the Tesla driver didn’t even offer an apology. That would have been the least they could do. The other thing I am curious about, is if the charging cable wasn’t long enough to allow him to go from the car to the receptacle while still on the swale, what would he…

Oh, shit! Look at that. A freak hail storm that only covered 100 square feet directly above the Tesla. Look those dents! Must have been grapefruit-sized hail . . . flying sideways. Blame it on climate change.

Wait, so they were “visiting a friend” when they noticed they were out of juice, and their friend wouldn’t let them leave the car there to charge? 

Am I the only one that carries a valve stem removal tool in my car?

My favorite part about the internet is that it allows you to enjoy every minor asshole from around the world, not just the nearby ones.

Tow? If that’s my property, that’s an immediate tie the other end into my 2-phase 220 outlet, grab a beer and watch the fun.

That’s an immediate tow from my perspective. And putting a little pebble in the valve stem cap as well.

Dude is an absolute saint, if only because he’s waging a one-man crusade against the Florida Man stereotype.  

Into a pile of brown dust, amirite?

Another article on the internet about Millenias. I get it, they can’t find jobs, buy homes or get out of debt.

In that case, a Jos. A Bank edition would be even better - on sale every day except for one Thursday afternoon sometime in March.

“Wow, amazing. NONE of the Citroen trucks lasted more than 3,000 miles and they all failed catastrophically! Congrats on the sabotage.”

Good.
