If I ran an insurance company, there would be an internal memo that all PT Cruisers are to be assessed as Category A write-offs, regardless of damage.

There should be a specific category of crush the car, burn it, and salt/cement it in place so that nothing may grow there ever again.

 Rims, stick-on vents, automatic gearbox, mismatched paint, some poorly installed aftermarket seats...

Only works if by "younger" you mean "approaching retirement age" instead of the usual 75-and-over crowd that putter around in these ugly excuses for land yachts because they think Buicks are for poors

Memento posted:Wait what? That car isn't a convertible? What the gently caress? Throatwarbler posted:Fake vert top. While it's ugly, it's not trying to pretend it's a convertible. It's a Landau top and lots of luxury cars used to have them. Edit: after reading Wikipedia they say that they are synonymous with simulated convertibles. I always associated it with luxury land barges like Cadillacs. GutBomb fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Feb 3, 2015 |

Wait, 'simulated convertible' is a thing? What the gently caress? So you get the ugliness of a convertible with the roof up, combined with the lack-of-a-convertible-roof of a normal car? What the gently caress is the point of that?

It's "aspirational". Because convertibles are a status symbol or something.

Landau tops are meant to replicate the look of chauffeur-driven cars from the days when your filthy Irish communist driver didn't DESERVE a roof over his head, but the lords & ladies in the back did. But then they suddenly realized that Tom was getting all tanned and enjoying motoring in the fresh air, the daring-do of which combined nicely with his new bronzed complexion and led to a newfound gain of self-confidence, and he started dating their youngest daughter. One thing led to another. So they flipped the arrangement around, but with the need to be able to put the top up in back in case it started raining.  It's a style that persisted through the "Fashionable Despot of the 70's" era of automotive history and had mostly died out, but then  Jay Z happened.

I see these like 3 times an hour no matter what channel it is. Terrible truck stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3ezBdxByBg quote:With one turn of a key, the 2015 Chevy Colorado will change you. When you're behind the wheel of Motor Trend’s 2015 Truck of the Year, you sit differently and you walk differently. And suddenly the world is different. The world is yours for the taking. At least they're being honest about them being used to haul egos and massively engorged genitalia, I guess. But I thought the traditional imagery of stuff being dropped into the bed in slow motion and traversing a muddy trail were appeals to the fantasy of what you'd totally do if you didn't live in the suburbs and have a desk job.

That is a great commercial and very inoffensive. Should sell a ton of trucks, to people who don't need them

I thought the same thing about the new Chevy commercials. It's funny that they are finally being honest about the majority of people that buy trucks. This one is just loving dumb though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzP2yzrKl28 I hate advertisers so much.

I'd hate it if it wasn't spot on. Can't count the amount of dudes in trucks with permanent scowls that drive like complete assholes. My favorite was the truck I saw the other day with dual stack exhausts and a giant "TOUGH MUDDER" sticker in both the front and back windows. It was spotless. And not in a "just came from the wash" sense.

I think it's safe to assume that the dude put the TOUGH MUDDER sticker on his truck not only because of the obstacle race, but because it would look kewl on his truck with mud tires.

Based on my Facebook experiences, only women do Tough Mudder anyway, I've never seen a guy talk about it. So big man, you get that sticker from your wife?

No, there's a pretty big intersection between the kind of person who does a mud race / obstacle course to be manly and tough and the kind of person who drives a big truck to be manly and tough.

Simplest answer is he's just pants-on-head retarded and thinks TOUGH MUDDER is a truck obstacle race. Also that Liveleak video, holy poo poo  how the hell does a car even keep driving like that??
