lol I tried to teach my kid to drive stick on my BRZ. It was during the pandemic, and I let them drive around an empty movie theater parking lot. When I decided they’d had enough, I got back into the driver’s seat and punched the gas, did some donuts around the lot and drifted around a light pole and generally did…

I’ve been betrayed by too many Volkswagens, including a Jetta of a similar age whose dashboard became a Christmas tree mere months after we bought it. No dice. 

lol I learned to drive stick on a Pontiac Solstice.  Much clutch burning ensued.  Fun little car though; only had it a year before trading it in for a GTI that ended up betraying me later...long story.  

Too old.  I’m not paying cash for something that old, and I’m not convinced I could finance something that old either.  Someone needs to clean those seats - I don’t know what kind of nasty has been touching them for the last 18 years but it’s not something I want to touch on the regular.  

If I were looking for a car right now, I might actually look at buying this one, like not even theoretically.  

what I’d like to see are key fobs that charge via USB instead of having non-rechargeable batteries in them.  That would be amazing.

As someone who has (accidentally, obv) put more than one fob through the washing machine only to have it come out either totally broken or just working wonkily (e.g. my current Cadillac key that drains a battery in about a week), I would like this technology very much, please and thank you.

I made the mistake of impulsively selling my BRZ a couple of years ago when the used market was nuts, getting $2,000 more than I owed on it, and while I like the car I replaced it with (an equally impulsively purchased Cadillac CTS), I do miss that little car.

I’m 44 now, and I gained 20 pounds during the pandemic, and despite quitting drinking, I haven’t lost much of it (I’ve certainly lost some bloating from the excess drinking, so I look better, but the weight is still mostly there). I tried a calorie-restricted diet, basically sticking with only a couple hundred…

From that era, the only Pontiac to buy is a Solstice GXP.  And even then, I want a Saturn Sky Redline.  

Second this.  It happened to me while I was in the garage.  If that had hit me, I wouldn’t be here to post this.  

well if she’s a republican, she’s probably a transphobe, so that fits.

I had this precise thought.

Came here to say this. Messianics are weeaboos for Judaism at best.

Just say green beans

“fuh”

actually it’s spelt Worcestershire but it’s pronounced “throat wobbler mangrove.”

Douche here. I lived in France 5 years as a kid & then studied in Paris in college, so I’m that insufferable person who says “ahn-deev” and pronounces croissant correctly.

Quinoa. I used to pronounce it “quin - oh uh” instead of “keen wah” until I learned otherwise.

...no thanks?
