Tremec, + 1 Yugo (aka the Blugo)

TIL: my bonus last year was more than Tom Brady’s. Huh.

I am not familiar with this joke, please enlighten me.

Sounds waaay to similar to Coney Island Hot Dogs. . .

One of the service advisors at the BMW dealership I worked at in undergrad once told a customer that he had “blown a tranny.”

What a sad situation.

Why is there a Street Fighter competition in the first place? Isn’t it just random button mashing?

Nothing an LSX swap wouldn’t fix. . .

Because you’ll die in a fiery crash? Yes.

Starter car?!

Timothy Dalton!

The BMW dealer I worked for in undergrad received delivery of a brand new silver 2004 Z4, in early 2004. The fender badges did not match from the factory: one fender had a 2.5 badge and the other a 3.0.

Really?! Is it one of the wagons with wood grain paneling? I might be interested . . .

Hold on, what do you think is the worst transmission if that ZF 9-speed doesn’t claim top (dis)honors?

“That goddamn Yugo. What a piece of junk.”

Not a LeBron fan by any stretch of the imagination (go Rockets!), but you are completely correct.

That kid looks like he has a nice future as a 1980's high school movie villain.

So let me get this straight: this guy took this car to some sort of Volkswagen/Audi show 17 years ago, won a trophy, and now it’s an “award winner”?

Well done, glad somebody got that.

You’d have to read that manual multiple times though. Yugos aren’t exactly brimming with features. The owner’s manual is literally “turn this key, push this button, turn on the rear window defroster before pushing the inoperable vehicle in cold weather”, and then you’re done.

My mom’s old 1985 Cadillac DeVille did that as well, but used dedicated lights on the bottom of the front edge of the fender, near the bumper. Forgot what they were referred to as in the literature, but cornering lamps sounds about right.
