I've kind of been waiting for you to post a shot of you licking a VW logo while lying on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace in one of the picture threads. Don't. If you make this irony joke, then Bill Maher will use it on his show as an example of how "whack-job" and "unbalanced" car guys/VW people are totally not getting the original joke himself, the whole time he and his fans think they are so clever. Budget Monty posted:So I heard a loud crash outside our shop today. I go outside to see what it was, and look across the alley that divides our shop from the Hyundai dealership shop... Similar happened to an acquaintance's then brand new Mitsubishi 3000GT at a tire shop while getting fitted with customer wheels and tires. fell and landed clean on one side. They had a towing company show up, and OK'ed him to drag it out of the shop being careful not to damage their $3000 lift. The tire companies insurance company sent it to a body shop that did a shoddy job. His dash rattled like a 30 year old farm truck. He had so many problems that in the end he sold it to a mechanic friend that has a JDM motor for it. As far as I know it is sitting under a car cover today for the majority of its 20 year life, right next to that JDM motor.

I'm not sure if it's still the case today, but a decade ago seeing 240s lined up mirror to mirror was a sure sign of ... let's call it rural Norwegian male youth culture. Very high probability of them all having plush dice and Wunderbaume.

0toShifty posted:I was driving though a church parking lot and I found the creepy volvo parking zone in the back corner Given the way they're parked, I"m going to guess they're all owned by the same guy, and he works at the church and has permission to store them there. He also probably gets them from other church members who know he's a fan.

How is that even possible, phone poles and tree trunks generally own the gently caress out of whatever happens to hit them instead of snapping like a toothpick

Let's see someone do the same to a concrete or steel pole. Then I'll be impressed. As will the driver. Into the pole.

Reminds me of that video where the guys were trying to blow the catalyst out of the exhaust by revving it really high, and ended up setting their car on fire AND melting an overhead power line.

It looks really similar to those videos of trains with wrecked turbochargers (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8RvoppZT0Y I'm 100% sure that video has already been posted on this thread)
