Sadly car salesmen, and car enthuses are often not on the same venn diagram.

Over the years, I’ve become milder about these two.

It would also be funny if the dealership had told him that to get him to trade it in on another model.

I had a landlord with a Kia Soul with a manual transmission. I didn’t really like her that much, but I cut her some slack for driving a manual car. When it got cold (sub 60˚F), she was the first to mount her snow tires... now, she only had two snows, not four like most people have in my neck of the woods.

It wasn’t, but still, the fuck.

Once went with a friend to the Toyota dealer and we were checking out the FRS they had inside. While we’re checking it out, some salesman walks over and says to us ‘You know you could get these with a turbocharger!!’ all enthusiastically.

“You can’t put headers on a jaguar V12. When the valves close the exhaust will explode.”

IMHO this is the most beautiful car ever made, just pure sex appeal draped in red. I’d commit a few minor atrocities to get my hands on one.

My second car was a 2nd gen Accord hatch with the 5 speed. The next car was a newer, much more powerful Celica with auto. The Accord was a lot more fun to drive. Manual transmission isn’t just shifting the gears - it’s throttle response and using the power curve appropriately. It’s more involving in a way that has…

I liked it better when college basketballs were pig heads and college basketball players were the shiny teeth guys from the new Mad Max and the rims were disembodied mouths that could only scream CHEDDAR! and the object was for the maniacs with shiny teeth to stuff the pig heads into the disembodied mouths so they…

Can confirm. I have a friend that went from a 128 he couldn’t afford to a 370z he couldn’t afford. Riding with him was the only time I have ridden backwash to an active firetruck, through lights and everything. He couldn’t stop crashing his BMW either, and was convinced he needed a faster car. I told him to turn…

That’s why I find it disturbing when someone thinks that atheists must lack any moral restraint because they have no fear of divine retribution. Seriously, your religion is the only thing keeping you from acting like a sociopath?

Oh please, you can have an opinion. We’re just not required to give a flying fuck about it.

I agree. Hell, the side bits in Parks & Recreation about Ben’s nerd hobbies and 30 Rock’s bits about Liz’s Star Wars obsession are way, way more authentic and holy shit, usually have an actual joke, instead of:

You’ve got to be fucking kidding. You think you’re smart because you laugh at a stupid TV show?

I hate the show. What I hate even more is when people tell me it’s because I’m not smart enough to get the jokes

Corolla S is an appearance package. You don’t get any any extra HP in an S, and it even comes with a CVT option today. The only times since 2000 did the Corolla come with a more powerful engine was the XRS model, which came with the 1.8L 2ZZ-GE in 2005 and 2006, and a 2.4 L 2AZ-FE 2009 and 2010.

Wow. That's so wild. I'm happy the tpb guys were supportive. Heartwarming and breaking
