See, if you grew up in Europe, you’d think otherwise. Manual transmissions were the norm here until a few years ago, and it still is perfectly normal that when you rent a car you have to explicitely order an automatic, otherwise you’ll get the manual.
A lot of US customers at EU airports learned this the hard way :D

And…

She also had my favorite car in the series:

Who the hell banged your wife and pinched a loaf on your side of the bed this morning? Why TF are you being such a twat waffle?

Buying shitty cars, sure. Working on shitty cars, okay. But he’s surprisingly good at it. He gets those zombies running, somehow. Gotta give credit where it’s due, cranky.

The whole thing is kinda bizarre. I graduated college with I think $300 in my bank account, not exactly $4500 to blow on a road trip vehicle.

Drives a modded FR-S as a sophomore in college and has 4500 to buy a second vehicle? Damn, I was lucky to treat myself to a box of kraft mac n cheese for dinner, after rent and tuition.

This. That shop is run assholes.

Preach. I actually use a 1/4" battery powered impact to spin them on, finish with the torque wrench.

Wow. Racist much?

Easy enough to fix.

Man, I wish this was my biggest problem.

You’re not supposed to drink the bong water sir

Hey, Tom, could you please tell your corporate overlords not to smush articles as smaller pics up between their sponsored content. I don’t want to miss out on articles here because they’re mixed up in with the ads that I deliberately avoid.

So you think the Republican party’s internal problems were put on pause during the Obama presidency? You must’ve missed the bad-faith obstructionism when their entire platform was “let’s make Obama a one-term president.” That’s not governing, it’s petty bullshit.

Nailed it. Odd how we never hear conservatives talking about the Military or Police Departments needing to be profitable!

California is a net-neutral state. In other words, every dollar they take from the federal government, they end up giving back to the federal government.
