2 NJ State Troopers got in trouble after "escorting" this exotic car club for some high speed runs on a publick hwy.

2 idiots with a camera and a Mitsubishi ... fucked them real good by posting this video online



we're on the rallye

hahahahahaha that was actually pretty funny how they just joined up, cut people off and almost crashed into that Ferrari.....and also how they didn't know what the Audi S4 was.

but otherwise this just reinforces my notion that sports car owners are douchebags that are just barely an evolutionary step above bottom-dwelling sports bike riders

EVERY review of this car that has come in so far makes it sound like a Porsche for $25K

I didnt even have to look at the link to know it was about the Subaru BRZ/Scion FR-S...I'm already tired of it

 

[dorian gray]

I think it's purty and more like a Miata than anything else, especially an overpriced Porsche. That said, I'd rather have a Miata cuz the top comes off

woooooooot Just got a check for $9000 for that hail damage on the Volvo. Not repairing it.

"hail damage"

-- dd kuntdestroyer/SEXXEKUTOR (AUS), a.y.p.s. 2012

 

[dorian gray]

Putting $9000 right down on what I owe on the Volvo. Like I give a shit about driving a hail-dented car.

 

[lurch70]

getting that sort of money rules ...

had that happen once on my first car that someone hit ... promply used the money for a trip to Europe instead of fixing it.

 

[dorian gray]

I was just going to spend it on alcohol....but they said it can be used for EITHER a payment OR repair. Indeed, Bank of America is listed on the check right next to my name. Fuckers.

Just kidding. Owing $9000 less on it than I did yesterday pretty much rules my face. Or kicks my dick in. One of those two things definitely.

 

[neal]

jesus christ 9000 bux for hail damage? that is unsane.

 

[dorian gray]

$10,000 total
$1000 deductible

The latest I heard from my friend in the insurance business is that the bank might not accept the money towards the principal and make us use it to repair the damage

will find out tomorrow

 

[lurch70]

i have a similar issue now with some damage i incurred during xmas.

according to the insurance co. the bank CAN make you fix the car since it is "theirs" technically until you pay it off so it's in their interest to be fixed.

who the fuck knows.

uhh yeah I have so many kids now that when we go on a trip this summer I'm going to need to put all the luggage on the roof....but I dont know how to do that. Do I get a gear basket and put the suitcases in it? How do I waterproof that shit? Or do I get one of those lided aerodynamic containers that I will use maybe once a year?

 

[Hell Mike]

get one of those lided aerodynamic containers that I will use maybe once a year?

and drive around with it empty for about six months because you can't be arsed to take it down after the trip

 

[dorian gray]

thats what I am picturing. A basket would be more beneficial in the long run but.....*shrugs* I dunno.

 

[lurch70]

get the aerodynamic one ... Craigslist is your friend

 

[dorian gray]

do suitcases fit in those fucking things?

 

[lurch70]

i think you're just supposed to toss shit in there ...
