I rarely NP projects. However this one I’d tackle. At 200k, I’d just rebuild the engine and get it over with since it has to come out for the head gasket anyway. These are the last of the tanks and well worth saving. NP.

Did y’all forget an editor pass? why is there a formatting error and a spelling / grammar issue in the lede? “piece” should probably be “peace” and the word went does not need italics. Pretty funny though

I lol’d way too hard at that.

Is this the plot to the next Fast and Furious movie? Dom and crew turn into pirates and hijack the ships to prevent them from falling into enemy hands, then The Rock shows up for no reason and they drive cars from end to end at WOT, but it still takes 37 minutes?

So uh, who wants to join my crew?

Let’s not include that CLA thing; it’s barely even a Mercedes in name only as it is. But hot damn would the RS3 be a good time.

Giving my kids whiplash seems like a good investment in my future. 90 in a 20 mph school zone sounds right up my alley.

Get a reliable used…

No way, it is a lottery winner’s civic duty to stimulate the local economy, not contribute to inflated property costs. At least that’s what I can surmise from lottery winners’ actions.

This can’t be said enough. Be smart with the money. If OP is willing to drop $30,000 on a new car, DON’T SELL IT UPON GRADUATION. It makes no sense especially when you are trying to do grad school. Either buy something nice with a long warranty (Hyundai/Kia), buy something super reliable (Lexxus/Toyota), or buy a…

STi, GTI, or IS-F.

You’d be a monster to hide it once you knew it.

Right because in communist dictatorships there isn’t an imbalance of wealth... ;)

I dont remember anything of the 20min of top gear USA that I watched

i mean, just your handle. Out of the Grays for life.
