I’ll raise you an actual Ford Maverick:

Dealers will never cease to amaze me with their stupidity. One of my first jobs was running internet leads for a network of about two dozen Ford and Mazda stores throughout Virginia and Maryland.

My first car was an 80 Malibu. The wipers went down further when you turned them off to be under the hood. I figured this Corvette would do that, but I have to admit it took it to a completely new level.

The #1 cause of fuel pumps being slow is that I’m already late to wherever I’m heading.

In the middle of trading in a car for a new ride, probably around 1992, had been at the dealership for over 2 hours at least, they were old school hard selling the shit out of me. I was young and naïve, but not as dumb as they apparently thought.

Another tough moment when the ‘KILL ALL WHITS’ graffiti turned up. The director Whit Stillman said something like, ‘I always knew this day would come.’

It looks like it’s staring dejectedly at the ground.

Heeeeeyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!

An SUV with a standard 3 cylinder would be more perfectly named “Shetland Sport”.

UHMPE Ropes are so cool! I used to sell them, and they are fascinating. They are “as strong as steel at a fraction of the weight” but they also have other awesome features. They do not “snap” like wire rope or traditional synthetic rope, when they reach a failure point energy is transmitted along the entire length…

At any moment, they can simply decide that I don’t have access to their content. Maybe they lost the distribution rights, maybe the content got cancelled for racism or rapes or swears, or maybe the…

Who the hell buys/keeps DVDs any more?

I used to lean Republican until thier brains fell out and they stepped on them. To the point where I would not vote for my best friend for dog catcher if there was an R next to thier name.

That is the automotive equivalent of Jar-Jar Binks right there.

When I was finally grown up enough to walk to school on my own (6) I was fascinated by a vehicle that belonged to an old man who lived in the big house on the corner. (He was only five years older than I am now and the house was not really very big), though the vehicle seemed huge and awesome. It did not seem to work…

Airport workers just aren’t showing up for their shifts. And probably rightly so, since the higher ups are just fucking morons. There is incompetence everywhere and this virus is exposing it all. Employees coming in contact with possibly sick passengers without protective gear?
