They also conveniently fail to mention that the alternative murder weapons they list have possible uses besides murder.

OMG. I still randomly quote this to frighten young people.

It’s Mr Creosote’s less-couth cousin!

Wouldn’t “Celtos” be pronounced “Keltos”?

The word you want is “flack”.

I DD’d a ~2004 automatic-trans turbo Limited Edition PT for several years (it was my mom’s; don’t ask). Body roll was awful, but it got out of its own way when I asked it to. Guzzled gas, too.

Meh. Any pair of idiots can make more people.

Advertising and marketing have always been and always will be pandering at the basest level. I’m not sure how anyone could be surprised by any of this. Maybe because it’s so... blatant?

LOL “malicious malware”.

It does indeed. I avoid roads I used to drive regularly simply because they are too bumpy, and I grit my teeth every time I hit a pothole.

I was told at the time (2001) that it would cost more to fix the engine than the car was worth. I am not mechanically inclined (like, at all, but I love cars <shrug>), so I took the mechanic’s word for it. I ended up selling it as-is to a guy for $500. He made no bones about the fact that he was going to turn it into…

Can confirm; this happened to my ‘95 ACR at 105,000.

My first “real” car was a ‘95 ACR. Bought it brand new and drove it until it died almost exactly 100k miles later... right after I paid it off.

What happened to “only the names have been changed to protect the innocent"?

Read the Twitter responses to the “artist’s” post. I skimmed about 100 that ripped this guy a new one and saw maybe 2 (terribly sad) tweets that praised the painting. The dragging was impressively creative and yielded many LOLs.

At least Drumpf knows how to guarantee his... uh... totally medically-necessary prescriptions... keep coming.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

I bought a new grey FiST late last year because it had everything I wanted and it was on the lot, discounted. The color doesn’t affect performance and I’m not so vain that I care if anyone notices me driving by.

“could use some help not designing a car that isn’t utterly hideous”

Marketing will destroy us all.
