Can you explain why one would buy two of the same car? They are different models of the 500, but it still baffles me that you would want two of the same vehicle.

They are as much the same car as an evo is a Lancer. One is a turbocharged cabrio, the other is a lazy little hatchback. The Pop is my wife's, the Abarth cabrio is mine. Though she never drives it, really. I think it's moved twice in the last year.

One of those cars has two doors and one has four doors thus not the same car.

I was looking at a black v6 mustang for a winter vehicle last fall. It ran good, but the steering wouldn't reset back to 0 after making a turn. It would just do donuts all day. Of course, the explorer I ended up buying instead needed a whole new trans so I was probably better off with the mustang.

My neighbor has two exact same year and model and color A4's. Turns out the husband and wife owned them separately before meeting each other. That's when you know you've met the one I guess.

I felt my engine bay could use some additional cooling so I ran my car into a deer.


Was only going 40 on some back roads, was still going fast enough to kill the deer but slow enough that no one got hurt and the airbags didn't deploy. Bringing it in tomorrow to get an estimate for the insurance. This is my first significant collision so I'm hoping it all goes smoothly and isn't a huge pain dealing with insurance and the repair center.

Edit: I mean was going 40 before I hit the brakes. Obviously hitting at 40 would have been a lot worse.

Proper shifting method.

Bigger screen than the 15 and has Carplay

Speedo says 200 and I'm not going to test it


Look closely and you can see the poor neglected 58



Instead of a spare, it has a rear diff and a sub.

Probably not. 300 hp is going to get me in enough trouble as it is. It's the first 16 R in the state as far as I know :) The guy in front of me on the list didn't want black, so his white one is still at the port of Houston :)

Getting clear bra and tint done Friday. Having to baby it until then so I don't get any chips on the bumper.

Also need to remove the Emich badge.

Pff parking garage burnouts are easy mode too.



Got my car hand washed somewhere, and they did a drat fine job for $8 and its better than I could manage. Gotta get myself a leaf blower. I think they used half a bottle of tire shine though.

Also testing out my new camera phone. Click that bitch so you see all of the orange peel and scratches in 5376x3024.

My wife and I fell into white Escapes, hers from Grandma as a smoking deal and mine from work as a company car. I think it's kind of funny, but I would never have done it on purpose.

Edit: it's like cheating on your wife with her sister! It may be newer with better curves but if you're going to the trouble go for variety.
