I bought a new car (the "I wanna be like Gugs" thread)...

Are you being sarcastic or serious?

yeah like I ever know.

2WD trucks are the most pointless vehicles ever, I would never go down that path again. I love the Mazda but sometimes I wonder why I spend this much on a casual hobby. I haven't hit 100mph in months. I still floor it 6 times a day though, so I am getting some thrills.

That link was a 4X4 5-speed 2.5L regular cab. The best.

This is the thing about sporty cars. There's really nowhere to utilize them and when you do, there's a risk of killing some innocent person. Whenever I think about buying something fun, I picture the engineers and designers of whatever car it is getting a good laugh at my (considerable) expense.

Second date with my wife we went out to Joshua Tree. I always said she trusted me too much to do that, and then years later she also said "you drove 125mph too" and I 'd. I had forgotten about that, but we found some abandoned prison road and I asked permission to drive like that first. Because when it comes to being stupid, I give people advance warning.

I thought that guy did a really good job. I was kinda hoping he would rip into them a bit more though.

True. Probably the smartest vehicle to ever own. Kinda too practical though, I get bored without a worthwhile stupid pedal. Maybe I should just get a damn motorcycle...

NAD would last about three minutes on a motorcycle before dying a horrible death

 

[NAD]

Probably not even that long really. Hopefully that shit gets YouBoob'd.

Me ma drives an '88 Accord she bought in 1991. Pa bought a new car last summer: '92 Suzuki Sidekick.

I'm finally old enough to realize that my parents are much smarter than I am. :Smug:

 

[einride]

old cars are da best, fuck the haters

 

[lurch70]

this video made me cry ... it's not a video about a specific car but rather a thorough walk through of the Koenigsegg factory with the owner.

btw dorian ... finally walked into my bank with that insurance check and asked them to endorse it ... they said I could apply it towards my loan on the spot so i did.
no hassle.

 

[dorian gray]

[lurch70]

well it was written out to them + me ... why would they refuse the money?

 

[dorian gray]
