I think people just want to be self-righteous in other people's faces and then feel good about claiming the moral high ground in whatever argument they were having.

I also have this theory that anybody claiming anybody else has a kind of xxxx-privilege as their argument is merely straw-manning. While I accept that there are such things as 'white privilege,' 'male privilege' and 'hetero privilege,' every time I've seen it actually used has been accusing somebody else of it and entirely dismissing their argument because of it.

Yeah I run into that all the time. The only insult I worked out of my vocabulary is "human being" because one of my closest friends came out and I didn't want to make him uncomfortable.

Instead of wasting your money on that slow, underpowered piece of poo poo (I mean it doesn't even have four hundred horsepower), go build a shitton more vans and buy a Hellcat.

This week has blown so hard. Wife gets a flat on Sunday, then the same day I walk by a shelf at work and my car key got stuck in it, snapping it in half (lol GM build quality, thank god for some reason I had my spare in my car), then yesterday I hit a pothole the size of Rhode Island and had a huge gash on the sidewall. It was snowing like crazy to boot and about 14F outside and I had no jack or fourway, so I had to have my dad come with the tools so I could get the spare on. I just got that replaced (it was a month old tire).

Now I'm sitting in the Secretary of State office waiting for three hours to transfer my title out of my dads name and into mine since we have the same name and whoever did the paperwork apparently got confused when me and my dad walked in when I first bought the car.

I love that the Hellcat exists, but I enjoy living so I think I wouldn't want to buy one of those.

I think I just might want to give Chrysler a ton of money as a thank you for making that, actually. Maybe that's my secret desire.

Pip-Pip old chap! Last one in is a rotten egg what what.

We were discussing electric cars at work today and my boss flat out refused to believe the tesla prices and specs until I showed him the website, where I found out the specs are better than I thought, There's a 690bhp awd version :catstare:

As a comparison he specced up an m5, holy poo poo we hit £100k easily, I had no idea they were that expensive.

Neither of us are in the market for either but the car configurator game can be depressing and fun at the same time.

I would think that the Hellcat is heavy enough that even though it has so much power, it's relatively controllable vs something like a Viper or Carrera GT

Why do that when you could buy my 928 for much much less? It has a V8 and a DOGLEG manual transmission.

Guilt tripped my coworker into going in Saturday for maintenance since I was covering for him when I got called in last weekend. If I'm productive and don't run into problems I'm going to run into problems I should be able to finish the E21 this weekend. All parts/tools/fluids/etc should be here tomorrow afternoon and the weather is going to be poo poo so I should be able to lock myself in the garage.

The good news is that the flu virus can't make it longer than 8 hours on hard surfaces so it should be fine by the time it get to him.

They used to call Down's Syndrome kids mongoloids here - Not sure if that was the case elsewhere. TBH I haven't heard that used as an insult or as a descriptor for I don't know how long...... Over 30 years I think?
